Grandma and Aunt Amy visit and Easter

My mom and my aunt Amy came out and visited to help with Nathan. While they were in town, we celebrated Easter and blessed baby Nathan.

Annmarie's Birthday

This adorable cutie turned three on the 14th.  Annmarie truly lives up to her middle name of Joy because she is full of joy (and mischief).  She really keeps us on our toes.

Jonah's 5th Birthday

On March 13, 2016, Jonah turned five years old.  His birthday this year fell on a Sunday, which is fun because that's the day of the week he was born on.  He loves having a new baby brother and was very excited to turn five so he can go to school in the fall.

No Glasses Travis

Travis had his regular yearly checkup with the ophthalmalogist.  He was told that his vision is fine and that the eye muscles are strong enough now that he no longer needs his glasses!  Yay!

Sweet Nathan

Grandpa was in town for a couple of days helping Aaron with something and stopped by to see his newest grandson, grandchild #26

Nathan is such a sweet little boy.  The kids are just loving him and he has brought a sweet spirit into our home.

Nathan Jordan King

Nathan Jordan King was born on February 29th 2016 at 12:42 pm, weighing 8 lbs 7 oz and measuring 21 inches long.  It was a rough delivery.  I was induced at 8 am and when it came time to push, I just couldn't do it.  The doctor used a vacuum delivery and poor Nathan was left with pretty bad bruising on the crown of his head, which caused bad jaundice and required hospitalization on a few days after we were discharged.  But he is a beautiful, happy little boy and pretty content most of the time.  Welcome to the world, Lucky #7!

Eliza's Special Trip to LegoLand

For the kids' eighth birthdays, we have had the tradition of taking them on a trip alone with Dad to either LegoLand or Sea World.  Eliza chose Legoland and she and Corey went at the beginning of February.
