Canoeing trip the day Jax was born

Saturday morning 7/6/13 Kimberly, Jason and the boys invited me up to the mountains to go canoeing. It had been a very long time since I had been canoeing and was to thankful that we were able to go together. I was so busy taking in the beauty that I forgot to snap some photos and didnt have the guts to take my SLR camera in the water. I had a feeling that since we were leaving the city we would get a call for sure saying that Sarrina was going into labor. We kept on fishing and of course got skunked because I suck at fishing but just enjoy the atmosphere. As we were driving back into the city we decided to stop at a diner outside of Oakley Utah to get a shake. I got a call from Shaileen. She asked if I was sitting down. She told me that she just got a call from Sarrina and she was going to have Jax at 7:30 pm because they did the stress test and Jax's heartbeat was faster than they wanted and wanted to take him just to be safe. After I got off the phone my heart and mind were racing like crazy. I can say it made for an interesting ride home. More blogs to come soon about Jax's birth. Sorry, I am a little late posting them but I think I have a pretty good excuse. I have just been staring at him all day long.



Sorry, I even had to steal some photos from Kimberly because I didnt take many.

 

love this video of DJ saying what he liked best about the canoeing trip.

Coolest Aunt and Uncle ever!

One thing we really enjoy is being the coolest Aunt and Uncle ever. We absolutely love each of our neices and nephews. Last night we were lucky enough to watch DJ and Alex for a couple of hours. First off we played out side with the dog and were raking snow. Later we went down stairs and watched James and the Giant Peach while playing with the dog. We also taught the boys to pretend to surf on the couch cushions. DJ kept saying "surfs up dude". We are so lucky to have such great family. One of the best parts of watching the boys was watching Shaileen with them. I liked it because I could see the mother in her instantly come out. She is an incredible person and even a more incredible wife.
