Here are the pictures of Nathan and Amy's baby that was born on May 21, 2007. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz. and was 21 inches long. He has quite a bit of hair and Nathan put it into a mohawk! I took more pictures but these are the only ones that turned out. Nathan took tons of pictures and he will be posting them on his blog sometime in the near future. Amy comes home either tomorrow or Wed. and they will give their precious little baby to Jer and Jen the family that they picked to raise their baby. It is a happy/sad time for all of us. It is happy in the fact that we were able to see him, hold him and spend time with him and knowing that he is going to a good couple who is so excited to love him and raise him. They are planning on keeping in touch with Nathan and Amy. We love Nathan and Amy and hope that they can have peace in the decision that they made at this difficult time in their lives.

This is ready to bloom anyday now. Remember last year how it only had one flower on it. This year it has several and I can't remember what this is but it does come back every year bigger and better.

More pictures of the yard and the house. Notice that half of the maple tree doesn't have leaves on it.

One of socks favorite places to be is sitting on the motorcycle and the other place is on top of the roof of my car. I didn't get a picture of that. Marcella thinks it's funny that the cat likes to sit on the motorcycle.

some of the flowers that we have out front.

Marcella would hold the scoop in one hand and with the other hand she would pick up the sand and put it into another container in the sandbox. Then when she was done playing in the sandbox she was walking to the swings and did not like the feel of sand in her shoes so we had to take her shoes off and empty out the sand and clean off her feet.

Jason was blowing bubbles for Marcella to step on. she wasn't too interested in bubbles at that time.

this is of her throwing water on me and thinking it was so funny!

Kanien came over today and left Marcella with me for the evening while they went to the Temple. I took a bunch of pictures of her playing in the pool, playing in the sandbox and of the yard for dann to see. so here goes I think I have 34 pictures to put on. It was a little cold at first but once she got in she thought it was great. She wouldn't get in so I went and stood in it and said come on I'll hold your hand and you can get in so she did and then I couldn't get her away from it. she would get in and out. She liked the cup that she is holding and she was laughing hysterically because she would fill that cup with water and then throw it on me. I was standing so that I would block the sun from being on her. I used sun screen but it's old and I didn't want the wrath of Kanien and Jon if she were to become sunburned. when she would throw the water at me sometimes it would get her on top of the head and her hat was soaked by the time we were through. She wanted to take it off and I told her that if she did we would have to go in the house so she put it right back on.
