Levi's birth

Well Levi Stephen finally decided to come on Wednesday, February 24, 2010. I still wasn't feeling too much pain with my contractions but after my doctor's appt that morning and found out that I was 5 cm dialated, we knew I would be having him that day. We arrived at 1:15 p.m. and Levi arrived at 3:28 p.m! I was progressing too fast again by the time the intense pain came so once again I had no pain meds. Oh, I had forgotten how much that hurt!! Thankfully its over before you know it and I had a precious baby in my arms! :)

Here I am just after settling in and getting excited to see my little boy!

Levi Stephen is here and so cute!

His tiny hands...

He weighed 7 lbs, 9.3 oz and 21 inches long.

Oh a daddy's love

The proud parents with our Doctor, Dr. Boken. We love her! I thought it was hilarious that Levi is putting up his two fingers saying peace!

All bundled up.

He is a wonderful addition to our family.

A zoo trip on Levi's due date!

We decided to celebrate Levi's due date by going to the Zoo so Sonora could enjoy seeing the animals and hopefully help Levi come out with all the walking! We had a great time while we were there and Sonora saw a lot of her favorite animals that she points out in her books.

Sonora's first bike ride!

Last week Mom & Dad took Sonora on her first bike ride around the block. She was fascinated, then scared, then in pain, and finally content and happy! I think she's going to like going bike riding with Grandpa and that will make Grandpa very happy!! :)

And they are off!!

RJ's Birthday Party

The day before Valentine's Day, we went to our friend RJ's 1st birthday party. It was a beautiful day so we decided to dress up in our "Valentine's" outfits.

RJ & Sonora got to spend some time in the bounce house at his party but apparently RJ didn't find it very fun!

Sonora, on the other hand, loved it and "bounced" on her knees until we finally had to pull her out of it because the big kids wanted to jump.

RJ loved his birthday cake. It took him some time to really get into it but after awhile, he was covered in cake & frosting!

Happy Birthday RJ! We had a great time at your party!

2010 Farm Expo

My parents took Sonora to the Farm Expo this year and she had a great time seeing the tractors, cows, and especially the balloon man!

Thanks for a fun day Grandma & Grandpa!
