Well Baby Justin finally made his arrival today, July 29, 2008 at 3:34 am at a whopping 8 lbs. 10 oz. He is a beautiful baby boy. He experienced some bruising on the way out, but he still looks perfect to all of us. I must say, this was my first full-blown experience with seeing a birth. I have a new respect for my sister who is such a stong woman, and all mothers out there. It was purely a magical experience and I am lucky to have witnessed it and not passed out. Here are some pictures from early this morning...of course more to come. I just can't resist! I love being an AUNT!

Concert Fun!

We and a nother couple headed up to Salt Lake City last night for the John Mayer, Colbie Caillat concert...it was great! I loved it. We drove home after the concert to all be back at work bright and early this morning...we got home around 3:30 am. What a crazy night, but it was a lot of fun. I love John and Colbie even more now. They were awesome. Here are some pics...not great ones, but good enough!

Relay For Life

So our first year of relaying is over! That was last weekend...and I was tired. It was so much fun. We had a great team and got a lot of walking in which made it great. It was so cold...like under 40 degrees which was ridiculous, but that is Idaho for you I guess. It was an all night event where we had to keep someone on the track at all times. The pictures of the lights...that was the luminaria ceremony which was to honor those who we have lost to cancer and celebrate those that have survived. Those are the HOPE and CURE pictures...and the overview of the track during the ceremony. I loved it...so beautiful and emotional, it was a wonderful feeling to participate in such an event. I can't wait for next year...anyone interested? So the pictures...One is of the boys on our team riding around in wheelchairs...you have to do something to entertain yourself at 3:00 in the morning right? One is of Brenden and Grandma sleeping...they didn't quite make it through the night.

Holiday Fun

So it has been a busy last week for us. The weekend beofre the Fourth, we went to my mom's work party up at Heise Hot Springs which was a lot of fun, Then I went up to Girls camp for a couplr of day and that was tons of fun, I actually liked camping. July 2 was Kolby's and my's birthday, then the fourth we had a bbq and let the kids play on the water slide in my parents backyard then off to the fireworks, and then the 5th was Brenden's Birthday. He wanted to go to Leatherby's which was fun and all the boy workers sang to him...he was pretty embarrassed but it was pretty darn funny! So needless to say it was a week of busy and fun!

What Haylie Means You are truly an original person. You have amazing ideas, and the power to carry them out. Success comes rather easily for you... especially in business and academia. Some people find you to be selfish and a bit overbearing. You're a strong person. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic "Type A" personality. You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in. You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow. You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily. Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is. You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have
