HaPpY 4th BiRtHdAy LuKe!

This year we were on vacation for Luke's 4th birthday. So when we got home we had a Cowboy Birthday Party for our cute 4 year old Sheriff! He invited kids from his primary class and some of his cousins. We had a Cowboy Carnival and we all had a blast! Luke is such a special, loving and fun boy. We are so thankful that he is in our family!

Happy 5th Birthday Dallin!

Dallin is now a big 5 year old!! He was so excited for his birthday, he has been asking me everyday for the past 6 weeks if today was the day!! If only we were all so thrilled to have our birthdays :) Nanny and Papa Nick took Dallin out for breakfast for his birthday to his favorite place, The Saw Mill. Then after breakfast Papa Nick took Dallin out for some fun, bowling! They bowled a few games and then headed back to the house and we got ready for our family party. Nanny, Papa Nick, Aunt Holly and Uncle Ken and kids all came over for a yummy dinner and cake and ice cream. Dallin got some new Lego's, markers and colored pencils, coloring book, and the new Toy Story 3 Uno game. and of course he got lots of homemade cards from brothers and cousins. The next day we went to the mall and met Grandma Hammond and she bought Dallin his very own "Pillow Pet" that he has wanted

f-o-r-e-v-e-r! He got the cow and named him Spots!

He had a wonderful day and is so excited to be 5 now.

We love you Dallin!!

Welcome little girl......

Kate Marie Hammond entered this world at 2:08pm on Sunday, May 31, 2009 weighing 7.8 lbs and 21" long. She had a few difficulties adjusting to the world when she was born and thought it would be fun to take a trip down to the NICU. She was having problems breathing and maintaing her O2 sats and bloodsugars. So they kept her under observation in the NICU for about 4.5 hours after her birth. She proved to be a champ and was ok to come back to my room and stay with me. 

She is such a doll and we love her to pieces! Her four older brothers are in love with her and want to hold her all the time! We are thrilled to have a little girl and are loving all the pink surrounding us!
