4th of July

This year since the 4th fell on a Sunday we went to Maria's new place on Saturday night and had a BBQ and watch the Stadium of Fire Fireworks from the comfort of our couches on the balcony!  It was lots of fun.  and my Mom and Heather and Ella got into town that afternoon so they joined us.

This is the boys putting together Ria's BBQ

Visiting guests

Grandma and Grandpa Ackley paid us a visit.  They couldn't get enough of Josh.  He is their first great grand child.

First church outting

The week after Josh was born our good friends Andrea and Collan blessed their baby girl Jane.  So we attended their ward and afterwards had a luncheon at a nearby park.  Jane is one of Josh's future play buddies. Poor guy all my friends have had girls so he's gonna have them to play with.

Funny thing....right as this last picture was being taken josh peed through his diaper and clothes and onto the blanket....good thing not on Jane's dress.....gotta love having a boy...he seems to pee out his diaper easily.

Delivery Day

I finally found my camera cord so here goes with the mass posts

These are a few shots from me during labor

The nurse in this first picture was using the portable fetal monitor to monitor Josh during contractions.  It was great not being hooked up to the monitors the entire time.

I'm glad Ricky was enjoying himself. ;)  Seriously he was amazingly helpful through out the whole processes  he was doing counter-pressure techniques with every contraction to combat the back labor.

Last Pregnancy Shot

This was me the Thursday before Josh was born.  Andrea was nice enough to come out to the house to cut my hair and ended up helping Rachelle and I with some reorganizing fun :)
