Little Lilah

So we have attempted some newborn pictures-- and I think we will be attempting again - but I thought we would share some of the pictures Joel and I took of his new little sister while Conner was asleep (for some of it!). I learned very quickly that I think I will wait for Mike to be home to help wrangle certain children from "helping" -- but I think some of them turned out pretty cute!

Lilah Susanne Bailey

Last Friday we welcomed our little girl into the world. Lilah Susanne Bailey was born last Friday on September 9th. She weighed 7 lbs  10 oz and was 2i0 inches long. She is such a sweet and even tempered little girl - at least so far! Her delivery was my easiest so far. We scheduled to be induced and went in at 5:00 am. Everything went really fast and we had at 1:18pm. We were a little amazed it went so fast because that is not our normal. I hope you are all ready for some pictures because we have a lot of them!

These are Lilah's first pictures with all her stats shown 

First pictures with mom and dad

First pictures with Joel and Conner. They love their little sister and give her kisses all the time!

 Just a cute picture

 First family picture

 Lilah ready to go home. Joel picked out her very cute outfit and was very proud that we used his outfit for her special day.

 Everything has been really good since we have been home. Lilah's billiruben levels were pretty high so we have had her on a billi blanket since Sunday. I am excited to have her off of that because we are stuck to a cord and have to pretty much stay in one place. I am so glad Mike was able to take the whole week off of work. We have had some fun family times and the boys have become daddy's boys this week. It's been fun to see them all interact together. We love our new addition to our family and it will be fun to see her grow!

Our Last Summer Fling!

I will start our Labor Day weekend adventures by letting everyone know that 4- wheeling does not put you into labor. I promise -- I tried!

Actually Mike got to ride his motorcycle while I took Conner on a very slow, not too bumpy 4 wheeler ride on Saturday and Joel got to stay with Grandma and watch lots of TV because he was sick all during the night. It was very nice of Grandma and it let me get out of the house are relieve some of this cabin fever I am already feeling!

Then on Monday Mike got to float down the Hoback portion of the Snake River. It is quite the ride and is a lot of fun. The boys and I followed along with the car and took pictures of some of the fun rapids.  

Here is the boys getting ready to watch everyone launch off. They needed to have a fun little ride too!











Say Bye everyone!

 Then the fun begins!!! These pictures were taken on the Kahuna rapid. (Normally one of the biggest on this float!)

Hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend! I know we did and it was so nice to get out of the house for a little adventure before baby Lilah joins our family (this Friday :) -- watch for pictures coming soon!!!!)
