She's Here!!

Janey Elizabeth Rhees has arrived! Janey came early Tuesday morning at 2:18 on May 25th. She weighed in at 8 pounds and 3.7 ounces and was 21 inches long. We sure love her and are so glad that she is here with us! Here are some pictures of her big day!!


Here we all are right after the delivery. Birth is such a miracle and special experience!
Below is a picture of our nurse and midwife who helped delivery Janey safely into the world.
We are both proud parents and glad she is here.Here is our little princess already with a bow! When they took Janey to get her first bath and all cleaned up, she came back to me with this adorable bow hat!
What a princess I have!

Here are the boys and their little princess! Gunnar brought Janey a big balloon for her big birthday and Preston brought her a purple ball which he took home with him after asking her if it was okay.

Gunnar was really excited to hold her and see his new sister. He sure has been excited through the whole pregnancy and as soon as he saw her he said she is "this big Mom"Preston didn't want to hold her but he did want to carry the car seat with her in it :)
And the family of five is headed home together!! Do we look crazy or what?

Easter Fun

I am so behind I don't even really know where to start but to just start before a whole year goes by without ever a new post! Sooo here is to our most recent Holiday of Celebration! EASTER!!
We had a wonderful Easter! Gunnar was the most excited and loved filling his basket with eggs and then lined up all the eggs in a row to see how many he got! Which was 27!!! Preston loved the candy! And at one Easter Egg hunt he sat himself on the hill while everyone else played on the playground and ate every single piece of candy that he liked - mostly the chocolate - the jelly beans he is not such a great fan of!! At an Easter Egg hunt I had a friend take some pictures! You can see my belly is growing and the time for #3 arrive is around the corner! We are all excited to welcome her to our family come May 28th which is the official due date!We were able to have Micheal Dammon over for Easter - this is our second one in a row! We are almost calling it a tradition! He stayed the night with us and got to watch Conference with us and I don't know if that was enjoyable as the two boys were wild as can be for 4 hours of Conference after Easter Candy! But very rare did anyone sleep:) We also went to the pond on this beautiful Easter Sunday and Rhett brought a net taped it to a stick and frog hunting was the game!! We were very successful and caught five frogs! Two of which were even connected and would not seperate - Gunnar seems to find lots of two things that are together - Rhett and I laugh and smile at each other and then tell Gunnar to just leave those two be for now. Preston was our frog spotter and even caught one all by himself! We had a wonderful meal which Rhett claims it was only because Micheal was there but I assured him it was for the Holiday and even if he was just there I would still try to be fancy!! Here are a few pics of our day and the frog hunting team, Gunnar had to hold every frog and yes has lots of warts now, just kidding!
