Family Blog

Here are some pictures of the day Ethan was born.  I can't think of a better way to preserve these than to put them on the blog. In the top picture, Jazzy, Jonathan, and my Mom were looking at the monitor strip and telling me I was having huge contractions.  Not too long after that he was born.  I like the picture of Chris looking so happy and proud.

We all went to Idaho to stay in a cabin in Harriman State park.  All the kids loved staying in the cabin, and Clarissa made signs with all the kids names on them by their rooms.  We all had a lot of fun and the weather was good.  The kids played nerf guns a lot and made fire.  When Chris made a fire, Ethan said his dad had brought honor to the family.  We also hiked a lot, and saw some wildlife.  My dad caught a fish and shared it with everyone.

 This is a picture of the kids just running as soon as they got out of the car.  Three of them are Brayden and Erin's and then Aiden has the purple shirt on.  I think they all are running for the port-a-potty.  The kids liked this huge rock with graffiti on it!  We all could not bear to open our eyes because the sun was so bright.
