My Visiting Teacher was SO nice and came to my home and took some pictures of sweet Alyssa. I wasn't exactly planning on taking pictures with me in them, but then I thought it'd be fun. It is so fun having sweet little "Lissa" in our family. She is so precious. We are getting excited for Halloween to come soon and Brianna and I are both going to be Jasmine so we will have to see what we will dress cute little Alyssa as.

Our New Arrival!

Alyssa Kate Shaw was born August 2, 2008 at 11:03 pm. Janet was having dinner at the Shaws and started having really light contractions and went for a walk. She felt a really light trickle and thought her water broke (she was laughing so she was hoping it wasn't just peeing her pants, heehee) But no her water broke! She went into the hospital at 8:42pm and started having contractions and had the baby in a little over 2 hours! It was the best labor! She was able to do it natural again for the 3rd time (whew hew!) and was so grateful everything went great. Tim and Janet are overjoyed to have this little precious spirit in their home. She is the most beautiful, sweet baby girl and has our hearts. Big Brother Taylor and Big Sister Brianna absolutely LOVE her and can't get enough kisses. We are so happy to have her in our family.

Boondocks Family Fun Center

Janet couldn't ride the go karts since she was expecting so Daddy took both kids around the track and they loved it.

Olympic Park

For the 4th of July, Janet's family came up to Utah and we spent a week in Park City. We went to the Olympic Park and enjoyed being together.

Taylor & Kickball

Taylor has to wait til next year to play baseball so this summer we signed him up for Kickball. He did so great and had a lot of fun.

Our Ballerina

Brianna did Ballet during the summer. She was so dang cute. She did a little dance at the end for us.

Brianna loves swings!

Our little Brie Loves to go REALLY high on the swing.

Janet modeled some dresses at Costco. The funny thing was is that she was 4 1/2 mos. pregnant but nobody noticed. =)

Jumpin Jacks

As a family we went for Brianna's Bday to Jumpin Jacks, this place in Springville that has lots of big jumpy things to play on. It was a blast.

Brianna's 3rd Birthday February 2008

For Brie's Bday we had a Princess Party. We had it at our house. We had little girls come over and dress up as different princesses. We did their hair and decorated cookies and did girl things. It was fun. I made her princess cake myself. It was a doll cake.

Taylor's 5th Birthday

We had a Transformer Party for our little Taylor and played Transformer games, had a pinata with cake and icecream and presents. He is such a cute little Optimus Prime. He got a Smart Cycle from Grandma and Grandpa. His birthday is December 31st but we were in California (Carlsbad) so we had the party early January 2008.
