Noah's Blessing

We blessed Noah last Sunday and it turned out to be a great day. Some of Patrick's siblings(and families) were in town so we decided to bless him while they were here so that they could share in this special day. This first picture was of all the grandkids that were here. It was so neat to have all of them here with us. All the kids had a great time playing with each other. I am so thankful for a great husband that is so faithful to the church. He did a wonderful job blessing Noah. Noah is such a blessing and I am so grateful to have him here with us.

For Today

Outside my window - it is still dark as
I sit here and type this. I hear the birds
chirping and the dogs barking.

I am thinking - about how I wish I was asleep
right now, in my nice comfy bed
(being it is five thirty in the morning).
and Noah just hanging out next to me.

I am thankful for - That Patrick doesn't have
to work for the next three days and for the time
that we can spend together as a new family of
5.

From the kitchen - Actually tomorrow it will
be homemade enchiladas with my own homemade
enchilada sauce.

I am wearing - blue polka dotted pajama bottoms,
my Creating keepsakes university t-shirt and
my glasses

I am creating - Patrick's mountain biking
layout downstairs

I am going -to definitely get a nap tomorrow

I am reading - my Creating Keepsakes magazine
that just came yesterday

I am hoping - that Noah will be getting tired
soon

I am hearing - sweet little baby noises

Around the house - there are dinosaurs all
over the living room floor

One of my favorite things - Ice cream for dessert

A few plans for the rest of the week - Take the
kids to chucky cheese's tomorrow, maybe go out for
breakfast, bbq at my parents and then all the
fun stuff to celebrate for the fourth of July.

Noah's newborn pictures

Yesterday we went and had some pictures taken of
Noah - and of all of us together. They turned out so
amazing that I just had to share. This is just a preview
of some of them but please check them out at the

Family pictures

As you can see we have been playing with our new camera. The ones of the kids are so precious to me. To see their faces light up when they came to see him just melts my heart. We also took a few shots of sweet baby Noah. He is the quietest babies and does not really cry that often. Well i must go, i can't keep my eyes awake !!! Maybe another update tomorrow when we get him home.

Noah's Arrival

He's here !! He was born today at 3:15 p.m. weighing in at 6 pounds 15 oz. and 20 inches long. We are so excited to have him here with us. Everything went well except that he came out sideways and face up !! Babies usually come out face down. So he has a huge bruise on his head and his face was also swollen for a while. I felt so bad for him but he is sleeping peacefully now and the bruise will fade and be gone in a couple days. I am doing well and am so excited to have my little boy here in my arms. More to come in the next couple of days. So long for now.

Mindi, Patrick, Noah

We've been bumped

Well the hospital just called and said there is no room at the Inn !! So that means no baby today. No beds available. So we will try for tomorrow. Wish us luck !!

The air show at Hill Air Force Base

We went up to see the air show Saturday. It was so much fun to see all the planes out there. There were so many people there !! The girls and Patrick first went into the KC135 big plane and they got to sit in the cockpit and they liked that. We then went around looking at all the planes until it was time for lunch. After lunch they had a few more planes up in the air. The girls loved the smaller planes that did loopdy loops and curly q's (that is what we called the tricks). It was then time for the main event - The thunderbirds. They are F-16 planes that they have painted to look like birds on the bottom of the plane. (Uncle Tyler flys the F-16's for the Air Force). They were amazing planes, but very loud. We brought ear protectors for both of the girls and that helped alot. There were six thunderbirds up in the sky at one time. They flew upside down, sideways and did tricks with eachother during the show. We left at that time and stopped to get Katelyn some planes to play with at home, she has not put them down since! Maybe she'll be a pilot !! Well it was a great day.

P.S. Stay tuned tomorrow for baby pictures tomorrow. We are going in to the hospital in the morning.
