The Kiddos

these two have so much fun together, they are so stinkin cute. they just adore their baby brother to, riley loves to help with him and payten loves talking to him! so sweet

Happy Birthday Blake Ryan Mills (yesterday)

Welcome to the family baby Blake! Blake's stats were height: 20 1/4 inches, weight: 7lbs 13 oz (his sister Payten was the exact same weight). His entrance into this world was very scary however everything ended up ok in the end. But he was not breathing for just under 10 minutes, was black/blue, lifeless and very very scary. However they had a mask on him so he was getting oxygen and he is perfectly good now. The girls stopped by to see me after a girls night out and it was very fun to have them swing by!

John got to do the delivery which is pretty cool

Thank you April for all your help!!! I know the experience with out you there is a completely different story and we both are so greatful for you.

Welcome home Blake :) we've been waiting for you!

Our trip to San Diego and Arizona

These girls were amazing on all the LONG car rides. If only Mardel didn't ask how much longer? every few minutes! hehe J/K she was very well behaved :)

Ryan, Melissa and Addy took us all to the Beach which was so nice!

We also went to the Mormon battalion in Old Town San Diego which was so cool, the girls had a blast there.

We even got to pan for Gold....gotta get a new wedding ring somehow!

Then we were off to the San Diego Zoo which is the best zoo ever. They had moving sidewalks that your strollers could go on that go UP HILL! so nice.

Best way to keep Riley entertained and out of trouble for a few hours....give her a book of stickers. however she's pretty sure the best place to put them is all over her face :)

We had such a fun trip! Thanks Melissa, Ryan and Addy for the fun in San Diego! and Tom and Mardel for Arizona!
