Nathaniel's Blessing

As I was going through pictures I realized that I never posted pictures of Nathaniel's blessing. It was a beautiful day and we are grateful for our families for being there. Jeremy gave our sweet Nathaniel a beautiful blessing. Nathaniel has been a joy to have in our family.

California, Here we come baby!

Isaac and Aubrey said this for a week before we went and then a week after we got home. Two weeks ago, Jeremy's youngest brother got married in the Oakland temple. He married a wonderful girl and we were grateful to be there. Here are some of the highlights:




Lombard Street in a 12 passenger Van. We didn't even damage the van.(I didn't take this picture. I was in the back of the van)


Seeing the Golden Gate bridge, absolutely amazing.

The carousel at pier 39. The Oakland temple. Can you believe that we got all five of us looking at the camera?

Nathaniel got to bond with his new cousin Ben.

The down side: Traveling home with one baby who had thrush, one case of the stomach flu (displayed three times on the airplane), and one sore throat with a fever(Aubrey said it felt like the bones were coming out of her neck, but I think that it was a sore throat).

Preschool Graduation

Aubrey had preschool graduation on Wednesday. I have to admit that I was the mom in the back of the classroom crying. I can't believe that she is going to be in kindergarten. Here are some pictures of it.

He's Here

Nathaniel Andrews Page was born on Wednesday April 8th. I went in to the hospital at 6:00 am to be induced and he was born at 2:00 pm. He was 8 lbs and 12 ounces. I took him to the doctors today and he is already 9lbs 4 ounces. He is a sweet, happy baby that sleeps well. Aubrey and Isaac have adjusted well to him. Aubrey wants to hold him all of the time. I found Isaac reading his airplane book to him the other day. We can't imagine what life would be like with out him.

Rodeo

My parents were in town last week and we went to the rodeo. The kids had so much fun. There were pig races, motorcycle stunts, cow milking, a petting zoo, and a gun show.

Update

I love how everyone feels like they need to make comments on the size of your stomach when you are pregnant. As if I already don't feel extremely large. My favorite so far was about 2 weeks ago when a lady said, "When were you due, Yesterday?" No still 3 more weeks. So, I am feeling quite large now. I have about a week to go (hopefully a little sooner). We will keep you updated with his arrival.

BCGs

When Jeremy was going through basic training a long time ago they issued him these stylish glasses. They are called BCG which stands for birth control glasses. The military figures that when wearing these no one will be attracted to you. The kids thought that they were pretty cool and wanted to wear them all day.
