We Believe in Miracles!

We believe in miracles. Brooke was born on November 5th, 2008 - which is about a month before her due date. She was 4 lbs. 11 ozs. - and 17 1/2 inches long. Who would have guessed at this time a year ago that Tyler and Jill would have a baby during 2008 - and now they have TWO!!What a beautiful baby! Brooke is doing well! She is off the IV - she just needs to learn to eat and she can get rid of the feeding tube. She has even gained a little weight - she is now 4 lbs. 15 1/2 ozs.

Brooke is dressed in a "preemie" outfit - she will not fit in that size for very long.

Grandpa Curtis got to hold Brooke for 30 minutes earlier today - he is in 7th heaven. Do you think Brooke and her soon to be cousin will have Grandpa wrapped around their fingers?

Baby Brooke has arrived

Well if you haven't heard yet, baby Brooke arrived today at 4:28 p.m. She has lots of light brown hair that likes to stick straight up. Grandma and Grandpa are the only ones that get to see her right now with her being in the ICU. She is 4 lbs and 11 oz, and 17 1/2 inches long. Mother Jill is doing okay after a C-Section.

Grandma has stayed busy tending Jackson the past two days. Jackson loves to watch TV especially cartoons. Who knew a 3 month would love TV? Here are some pictures of Jackson chilling at Grandpa and Grandma's and he even loved the bath time.

Pictures of baby brooke will come later...

Jackson has been a very good boy at Grandma's and only woke up once last night for 10 minutes.

Gotta love Halloween

Halloween Night everyone (minus the Cheng family who went trick-or-treating in their neighborhood) came over for some soup, pumpkin cookies, candy, eyeball slushy, and fun.

Jackson was a Red Chili Pepper. Who knew chili peppers could be this cute?

Jackson and Gavin the stinky skunk.

We didn't have any pictures of Gage, he was too busy trick-or-treating or passing out candy so Grandma and Grandpa didn't have to. Thanks Gage!

Gavin loves Shadow and is probably the only grandchild that has taken an interest in her.
He loved to feed Shadow his candy all night long.

Tyler was getting Jackson to laugh and smile.

He is growing more everyday. He must want to be a "BIG" brother for when baby Brooke comes. Now that October is over with the next thing I am looking forward to is my very first GRAND-DAUGHTER that may be here for Thanksgiving!

Parker's birthday

On Parker's birthday Amy and I went to Engh Floral. It was a beautiful fall afternoon.


















The boys were being silly, however we got a few fun shots.










This is one of a few pictures where their heads were both visible at the same time.










On Saturday we went to Mountain Mike's Pizza to celebrate Parker's 3rd birthday. My how these boys grow up!











The pizza was great and so was the company. Thanks for the party Parker! Grandpa still needs to give you your birthday spankings.











Carson enjoyed the party when he was not sleeping. It won't be long before he and Jackson are running around just like the big boys.

Photo shoot with Jackson

Who is the scarey witch holding my grandson?

While tending Jackson we decided to do a photo shoot of my youngest grandson.

Jackson is growing up just like the rest of my grandsons.

We almost got a smile but not quite!

My two boys

Don't these two boys look a like? Now we know what Jordan's kids are going to look like... Gavin...Gavin...Gavin.

Conference Sunday

The family came over for dinner after conference. It started out very quiet and this is why...

After dinner the fun began with rides on the four wheeler and the kids playing Nintendo.

I don't know why I was blessed with such cute grandchildren.

It was an enjoyable evening.
