Natalie Bear

This is what happens when you have a bear suit, camera and way too much time on your hands.

As you see here Natalie is rolling with her homies. It was all fun and games until Austin opened the car door and Natalie fell out. She didn't like that very much.

The big kids wanted their picture taken too. Though you can't see it Shaun does have a diaper on here, so go cast your judgements elsewhere.

Cute Kids

Here are my cute kids. I had to take a picture because all three, yes all three are bathed hair done and matching. Now getting them all to look at the camera, that's a different story.

I must say Ben and I did a good job.

Raspberry Jam

My sister in law Tricia and I made raspberry jam today. It was surprisingly not as hard as I thought. Tricia is quite the home maker. And to those of you who benefited from our work, if you find a hair in there notice in the picture who's hair is up and who's hair is down. Just wanted to get that out of the way.

Thanks for letting us use your kitchen mom. It is very sparkly.

Miss Natalie Jane

She is here! Natalie Jane Hunter. 7 pounds 15 ounces. Blonde hair and blonde eyelashes. She is such a good little baby. She loves to eat, sleep and snuggle.

Sleeping as usual.

The proud grandparents. This is their 3rd grandchild.

All of my cute kids. Shaun is very cautious not to get too close. Austin just loves her. She loves to hold her and give her the binky. She sometimes tries to take the binky for herself though.

Aunt Amanda. She was at our house bright and early when we got home, and then took her straight to Albertsons to show her off. After she changed her outfit of course.

My cute girl! Don't judge my appearance. Natalie may look small.... But it doesn't feel that way when they are coming out!

She has so much hair... Well she is no hispanic baby, but I think it is a lot.

Our whole family.

This is my sister in law Tricia, she thought it would be funny to mess with my camera while I was stuck in a hospital bed... I bet she didn't think I would post it for all to see. (harsh comments welcome)

The mother has been waiting for a new baby for a long time.

Ben is so cute with our little Natalie.

Happy Birthday and Congrats to Benny!

This last weekend was a lot of fun. Ben graduated and I threw him a surprise birthday party... a month early.

Gregg and Dawn took us all to Ruby River after Ben's party. We had so much fun. It's nice to get out without the kids every once and a while.

Here is my little Shaun and the pirate pinata. He was really going to town on that thing.

A very surprised Benny!

The man himself. It's been a long time and a lot of hard work. His Mom and Dad stayed for the whole thing.

I love you Benny!

Arizona

We just got back from a family reunion in Arizona. (and now I want to move there) the weather was so nice!
This is Austin and her Great Mamal. Austin just loves her! I am so glad that they have bonded so well.

Here is my little Shaun boy playing with cousin Kylee and Ryan. My kids had soooo much fun playing with cousins everyday. They are probably pretty bored now that we are back at home.

This is my beautiful Austin girl.

Here we are swimming at the hotel pool (in April) The kids loved it!

This is everyone! (Rob was taking the picture) I would name everyone, but we are not properly lined up. So just take a look and guess. We had so much fun. It was so nice to see everyone.

Two pregnant ladies. Holly and Me. I am so sad that she lives so far away, but it was so nice to see her and her cute little girls. And Mike of course.

Here we have five generations in one photo! I think that is amazing.
