Congratulations Gary!

Tuesday was Gary's last day of residency. He is now officially done. I am so proud of him and all his hard work. It has been a long 7 years, but I am so glad we have been able to do this together. The residency had a very nice dinner at a wonderful restaurant and I want to thank Grandma and Grandpa Oaks and Stephanie for watching the kids so we could enjoy it. So we are getting ready for our next adventure and are moving to Yakima, Washington. Gary has a great opportunity up there so we are looking forward to that. Here are some pictures from the dinner.

I couldn't put a post without a picture of my cute kids. Isaac was holding her head while watching his show.

One month old already

So we have been adjusting to two children at home and overall everything has been going well. Our sweet little one is getting big fast. At her 3 week check up she weighed in at 8 lbs and 11 oz (that's gaining 2 lbs in 3 weeks). She likes to eat every 3 hours. She is still the same length at 20.5 inches.


Isaac has been a pretty good big brother with only a couple minor incidents. We are working on being SOFT.


We have enjoyed our Red Butte Garden membership so here are several pictures from our latest adventures. Sadly our pass expired in May and we will really miss it.

Isaac has been playing soccer on Fridays and he really enjoys it. Gary took his boards and lets just say we are glad that is over. Our next adventure is packing and moving in July. Enjoy the pictures.

What they are thinking?

So the other night Isaac came in and I said, "You are so stinking cute!"
Isaac's reply, "I don't stink."

Pictures

So I had a wonderful photographer come and take some pictures of Sarah and Isaac. They turned out great. If you want to see them click on www.joannataylorphotography.com. You have to enter her site. Then move your mouse over the left side of the screen and click on client proof. The username is Leslie and the password is Sarah. It is case sensitive so you have to use a capital L and S. Let me know which ones are your favorite.

Our New Addition

Sarah Jean made her appearance on Monday May 11th at 3:17pm. I woke up Monday morning at around 4:30 and was having contractions. They were about 10 minutes apart so I didn't bother Gary. He was up around 6 to get ready for work and I let him know what was going on. We decided to wait and see if they got closer before going into the hospital. So he went to work and I played baseball with Isaac. By 9 I paged Gary and told him I was ready to go in. He left work as soon as he could and picked us up around 10:30. We dropped Isaac off at my sister-in-law's house and headed for the hospital. We were checked in around 11:30 and I was already dilated to a 4. By noon my contractions were 2 minutes apart and I was ready for the epidural. Everything went very quickly after that and she only needed 4 pushes to make her entrance into this world. She is perfectly healthy and she has lots of blond hair. I want to thank Kelly, Kathy, Rick, Erin, Natalie and my mom for helping us out with Isaac. It was so nice to be able to enjoy Sarah at the hospital and not have to worry about Isaac. Enjoy her pictures!

Easter Time

We had a really nice Easter and the weather was perfect. We had several fun activities that we were able to enjoy this past week. Our playgroup did an Easter egg hunt at a park nearby and we all braved the wind and sprinkles. Isaac had a blast and he hit his quota of eggs within a few minutes. Then we decided to dye eggs with him. He had so much fun with the colors. Gary, on the other hand, wasn't quite sure he wanted to partcipate in the adventure. But he had a good time too! On Easter Sunday you will have to ignore the color of the pictures, my camera's batteries were dying and a 2 year old doesn't wait for you to change them. So I didn't have a flash. The Easter bunny brought Isaac some new golf clubs and a bouncing ball along with a basket of goodies. He was so funny, because he didn't even care about the candy - he just wanted to play golf! It was a nice day and we all got to enjoy a late afternoon nap.
