Announcing Blake Ashton Lovell

Born May 28th 2009

7 pounds 14 ounces and 18 in.

He was a tough pregnancy, tough delivery but he is here and we couldn't be happier. He spent a week in the NICU and we had to go home without him. That was really hard on us all, especially the kids. Now that we are home he is sleeping great and eating tons.

The kids couldn't go in to the NICU to see Blake so they had to look through the window. They wanted to hold him so bad!!

He has a whole head of blonde hair. The nurses styled it for us in a nice mohawk,wave thing. It must be an Orange County thing. :)

The kids at home with Blake. They finally get to hold him and they sure can't get enough. Caleb likes to poke his eyes, Tyson loves to hold and kiss him, Katharine loves to rub cheeks and give lots of kisses.

Blake ready to leave the hospital and come home, June 4 2009.

Tyson Graduates

May, 22 2009-Tyson graduates Kindergarten!! We are so proud of all his accomplishments. This year he earned an award for academic achievement. He worked really hard and loved every minute of school. Especailly the fridays when I would come in and help out with his class. I think I enjoyed it more than he did. Thanks to Kristi and Brenda for watching my kids all those months.

Tyson and friends singing 'The World is a Rainbow.' He had his own speaking part and did very well. He is sure going to miss Kindergarten! His favorite thing to do at school was "chase the girls."
