Daddy Daughter Date

Dave took Ally Jane to the princess ball. She had a great time and kept saying, "I can't believe I'm going on my first date."

Broderick has been such a happy wonderful baby. He makes everyone's day brighter. He smiles at everyone he meets. We love him so much

Since last post.....

We have had some fun things happen since our last post. Grant turned 4 and had a shark party. We got passes to the aquarium and Grant has been obsessed with sharks since then. We also went to the Shark Reef in Las Vegas. He was in Shark heaven.

Easter Sunday we took this picture. It was difficult to get Grant to smile. Ally Jane and Broderick were posing easily for the camera.

One Month Old

Ally Jane and Grant love holding Broderick every chance they get.
Ally also is loving Kindergarten and Grant is loving preschool.





Here Broderick is one month old. He is such a easy going baby. As long as he has plenty to eat.

We love him so much. The time goes by too fast.

Introducing Broderick Dallin Welsh

Here he is just minutes old.

Proud and Elated mom and dad.

Kimberly flew in a couple hours before he was born. She and Dave coached me through the hardest parts of the labor. My mom watched the kids for me at our house as they anxiously awaited to meet their baby brother.

Also my cute friend Michelle Bacon made this stylin' hospital gown for me.

Home with the baby

Just hanging out with Dad.

Ally Jane lost her tooth the day after Broderick was born. Here she is showing off her missing bottom tooth.

Broderick loves to sleep. We keep waiting for a little peek here and there.

Grant loves being the big brother. He is on "pacifier patrol." Everytime Broderick makes a peep he is right there to stick his pacifier in.

This is the first time Ally and Grant are meeting their baby brother.

Broderick Dallin Welsh is here!

We are still alive

Ally Jane and Grant and growing up so fast. They play great together (most of the time). We also are expecting a baby boy in August. Grant wants to name him Pokemon. He doesn't like it when we chuckle at his suggestion. Both kids love talking about the baby, feeling my tummy, and planning for his arrival. We are exited and pretty scared too. Hopefully we can manage 3 kids.

Beautiful Babies

My Best Friends Emily and Tiffany have just had new babies. I just wanted to say how much I admire them as women and mothers. These ladies are so awesome with their kids. I love the way that they explain things to them even when interupted on the phone or managing a crisis. They are both women who love thier children and thier families with all their heart. And it shows in everything that they do.

Ally's Preschool Graduation

This is Ally's teach Miss Kristi. Ally already misses her a lot. She asks about her all the time.

Ally graduated from her first year of preschool. With the rigorus curriculum we weren't sure whether or not she was going to make it through. But she did. What a smart little girl! Her graduation was hillarious. All the kids marching in to the graduation march. They sang 10+ songs and seemed so proud of themselves. It was a fun night.
Dave's brother Steve organized a 5K/triathalon for the Fourth Street clinic. Dave took 6th place overall and me and the kids were close to the end. The kids were my coaches shouting things likes, "What's going on mom, did you run out of batteries, " Faster mom, Faster, we've got to beat all those people, c'mon."
