For those of you who haven't herd, my sister Zeffie had her little boy Tatum on Friday March 26. He was born with a cleft lip and pallet and multiple other birth defects. They rushed Tate and his dad up to Primary Children's Hospital. Because Zeffie had to have a c-section they would not release her from the hospital till Saturday afternoon. Because I work for SkyWest I was able to catch a plane Friday night and be there at the hospital with Brandon until Zeffie showed up. It was the most frightening thing I have ever done but also the most incredible thing ever. The entire time I was up there with out my sister I just kept thinking about how she was feeling and what she was going through but I knew she is a tough little mommy and would do everything she could to get released from the hospital and be right there by her little Tatum's side.

I got to spend a little time while I was up at the hospital with Tatum and his daddy and I grew to love this little angel so much! He is such an incredible little thing with an amazing spirit. I felt it so strongly that I knew that he has been sent to us straight from his Heavenly Father! It is amazing to see the love everyone has for this wonderful little guy!

Zeffie has put together a blog for Tate and would love for everyone to check it out at http://www.tatumsangels.blogspot.com/

Thank you all for the much needed love, support and prayers that have been sent our way!!!

So my sister told me about this website "Picnik" where you can add things to your photos. I love it. It has been so fun to play with all my pictures. Here is one from our wedding. Daryl and I have been married now for almost 2 years. I can't believe it. It seems like just yesterday we just met. It has been a great 2 years and hope for many more. He is my best friend and the love of my life!

My little girl is getting so big!!! I can't believe she will be 4 months already. Its crazy how fast time goes by. She is so much fun. She has the cutest personality. She has found her voice and at first it was super cute and kinda quiet but lately it has been getting louder. Almost screechy but it is so cute!!! She rolled over for the first time yesterday. It is so fun to watch them grow and learn new things. I absolutely love being a mom!

Mommy's precious little angel! She is so sweet when she is sleeping! (okay she is sweet all the time but especially when she is sleeping!)

This is Berkley's favorite position. If she is fussy and wont take a Binky just hang her over your arm and she falls right to sleep.

Isn't she the cutest thing! I put the bow on her head and daddy hated it because he said it was too big...I say the bigger the better. It makes her look so cute!!!

This is me after getting the epidural. I felt nothing from the waist down and slept most of the time until I started pushing.

Mommy and Daddy in the hospital just before Berkley was born!
We are so excited to be new parents!

This is my sisters JoLee and Zeffie with me about 30 minutes before going to the hospital. I had gone to see Dr. Lunt Wednesday morning (6/10) and was told that I was dilated to a 5 and 80 percent effaced. my contractions weren't consistent so he sent me home and told me to head to the hospital when they became more frequent. I called into work and told them I wasn't coming in and went home. Zeffie came over and we went for a walk to see if we could start some contractions...nothing. About 3:00pm i started having very mild contractions but they were coming every 3 to 4 minutes. we timed them for about an hour and both my mom and Zeff said that I should go get checked out at the hospital. I did and the nurse said that she thought it was too early and that they would probably send me home but they would monitor me for an hour and see how I was progressing. Dr. Lunt came in about an hour later and checked me out. He said that he could send me home but that I would probably be back in a few hours so he decided to admit me. At about 6:00 pm he came in and broke my water. By 7:00pm my contractions were very painful so I had the anesthesiologist give me an epidural. It was great! I watched the monitor and saw my contractions but did not feel a thing. The nurses came in at 8:30pm and I was dilated to a 7. They came back at 10:30pm and I was dilated to a 9. They told me it would not be much longer and I would have to start pushing. At 11:30 they came back and I was dilated to a 10. They had me start pushing and about 30 minutes later they called in Dr. Lunt and about 15 minutes after that Berkley was born. It was the most amazing thing ever. To see her for the first time and to hear her cry was so incredible. Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

Isn't she the sweetest thing you have ever seen?!?!?!!!!!

2009-06-18T09:27:00.000-07:00

Here is Berkley and daddy! He absolutely adores this little angel! He is such a great dad. She is already being spoiled rotten and has daddy wrapped around her little finger. She fusses at all and dad is right there to console her. It is the cutest thing ever!

2009-06-18T09:20:00.000-07:00

Berkley's cousins came to visit her in the hospital. Asher wouldn't let Avaree be left out so he had to hold her while Olivia held Berkley. Avaree had to check out the new baby by poking her! It is so fun to have cousins around. Berkley's birthday is right in between Olivia's (June 6th) and Avaree's (June 16th). They are all going to be great friends!

I know its been a long time since I have done anything with this page but here I go...I would have some pictures to put up but my computer freaked out last week and I have to get it fixed so I can get my pictures off it (hopefully all my stuff on there isn't lost). Daryl and I have been living in St. George for 5 months now and are loving it. I started working at the Cancer Clinic for Dr. Lemon a few months ago and am loving every minute of it. It has definitely made the last few months go by really fast which is a great thing because I am due in 6 weeks and it helps to stay busy. Daryl is still looking for a job here but has kept himself very busy with side projects around the house. He has got the boat all cleaned up and ready for summer, he built a platform for our storage tent he put up out in the back yard, and has been organizing our storage unit and making sure our year supply is stored and maintained. He has been doing all sorts of random side jobs for my mom which makes her very happy. He is going to start Real Estate school here in the next week and hopefully that will be something he enjoys. Hes a great salesman and will be an excellent Real Estate Agent. As I said before we are expecting a little girl in 6 weeks and are so excited for this new addition to our family. I know Daryl is going to be a fantastic dad. I watch him with my niece Avaree who is 10 months old and he just adores her so I know he will love our little one just as much if not more. It is Daryl's B-Day!!! He is the big 35 today! We took a drive up Cedar mountain and it was amazing. Daryl loves to be up in the mountains. One day we would really like to have a cabin up near Navajo Lake. Well that's all I have for now. Hopefully I will have some pics to post in the next few days.

Yeah!!!! We finally started a blog! Daryl and I have been married for a year now and it has been great! We just moved from Arizona back to St. George to be closer to family! We are also expecting a baby in June so we are really excited to start a family!
