Parker meets Paige
When Parker first saw Paige, it was love at first sight, he was so excited to see his sister.
Thats one happy boy
He was so excited to hold her
Brother and Sister, how special is that? Parker was so happy to hold Paige
Paige
This was as soon as we could take a picture, but she was born at 1 pm.
Paige Morgan Rose was born at 1 pm on Wednesday, Janaury 19, 2011. She weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and was 18 3/4 inches long. laura pushed one good time and Paige was born, she was so tiny, I kept saying over and over, she's so tiny, the doctor kept trying to reassure Laura the baby was ok, when I realized what he was doing (to help Laura not think something was wrong) I changed how I was saying, she is so tiny, what I said was you don't understand we don't have babies that small...lets face it Parker was 8 lbs 13 oz, so she was small compared...but so perfect!
Pushing
One push was all it took
When the doctor told Laura it was time to push, her bed fell down, she was sitting up, but Laura started cracking up and didn't push on that contraction, so she had to push on the next one.
Keeping a smile on her face!
Laura's bestfriend Katie was with us, Katie and Laura decided to have babies together, only Katie had her baby the end of August 2010 while Laura took a little longer to get pregnant.Labor begins
Her labor was in her back again just like Parker, she has a hard labor pains, the nurse made her get back into bed because the monitor on the baby wasn't reading while she was standing. Laura wanted to stand, but got over ruled by the nurse.
Rubbing her back
Laura found standing and rocking much easier than laying in bed laboring. She was watching a program on Hulu to take her mind off the contractions
Starting to get rough now
Wayne was watching a movie, he was such a help hahahaha
The morning Laura going to the hospital to have Paige
At the hospital

She looks darn good for being 9 months pregant at 5 am.
Piano Recital
The kids had their piano recital on January 8, 2011. Of course my camera battery was dead...so we took a couple of pictures and then my neighbor took some video tape of them playing. These were the only pictures we could take before the camera died. Thankfully we had a couple pictures.Driving home from Utah
This is how most of my day looked, blowing snow over the road. Cold Wyoming roads!
Snow drifts on the road, not what I would call fun times.
This picture reminded me of a fresh new day! A new start to the year.
After we drove to Utah for the week between Christmas and New Years, to help Laura get ready for the new baby...our drive home was an adventure. The blowing snow over the road made it at times impossible to see what the road condition was about. There were snow drifts in the road, at one time the drift was as high as my bumper, I did not get a picture of that, because I was too busy trying to maneuver the car around the drift. We were happy to arrive home safe and sound.
Getting caught up
Poor Parker was run over by Aurellia who is fearless on the hills...it was a total accident, but he ended up with a fat lip and both sides of his nose was bleeding. Poor little guy, he was having so much fun too. Though Sariah got knocked out 4 times by adults sledding too fast, and running into kids. She was very lucky that she wasn't hurt more than just a cut on her chin.
After we went sledding, we all went back to Laura's house for hotchocolate and cookies. I had made cookies before we went sledding, then I had made some taco soup for dinner...after we warmed up a little with Cookies and Hot Chocolate, we ate some warm soup...YUMMY!
This getting caught up on my blog is proving to be tougher than I anticipated. I have been busy with other things and school, I just haven't taken the time to sit down and update...so I'm attempting again!
