The Reservoir

I'm at a hospital getting to indulge my new baby desire to my heart's content! Courtney had her baby yesterday evening and I've been staying at the hospital to help her out, so that her hubby can go home and be with the kids. His Mom is staying with them, too.

Anthony Joshua arrived yesterday at 6:35pm weighing in at 7 lbs 13 oz and is 21 inches long. I arrived about 45 mins after he did and it was perfect timing. She was just done getting cleaned up and so was AJ!

No waiting around wondering when that baby was going to come! It's about a 3 1/2 hour drive from my house to hers and when I left things were just getting moving for her, so I did not expect that she'd be all done by the time I got there!!

I'll be here until tomorrow and if all is going well, I'll head home when she leaves the hospital tomorrow. I'm also here to help with the breastfeeding as she's previously left the hospital with cracked and bleeding nipples and we don't want that! So far we're doing ok there.

The following pictures are from our trip to UT in July. We headed to the reservoir on Thursday, despite the cold and rainy weather. It was our only day to swim and it was the only day the TOYS were going to be there! Pam's (Pam is my sis-in-law, married to Brent's brother Merrill), sister's husband's uncle.....still with me.......let them bring their sea-doos down and let us play with them. The older boys had a lot of fun on them, but the younger boys were done very quickly. Did I mention rain and cold weather?

Brent and his sister actually left with two cars full of kids after being there a short time as the younger kids were really miserable very quickly.

Here is Pam's sister with Aubrey and Collin.


Collin really enjoyed his ride!





It's hard to see here, but his smile is a mile wide!


Than went out once or twice, but that was enough for him.....did I mention wet and cold weather?
