Baby Newson

Here is an updated picture of our little guy. He is weighing in at 6 pounds and has some hair! Cant wait until he is finally here. Brooklyn keeps asking "when baby brother is coming", I keep saying "not soon enough."

Roy Days Parade

Brooklyn got to do another parade this year. This time for Roy Days. It was a LONG parade, and so hot outside. Here is BookerBee before we left the house with her crazy sisters!

Brooklyn is right in the middle, so excited! Justice, Georgia and Madison collected so much candy, I have no idea what we are going to do with it all.

Another Eye Surgery For Maddy

All I can say is that Maddy is a brave little girl. This was Madison's second eye surgery. She basically has a very narrow tear duct and when her eye waters it pools on her lower eye instead of draining thru the tear duct. Here is Madison all ready to head off to surgery. She did not like the stylish socks that they gave her but, she was a good sport and wore them anyway.I just love Primary Children's Hospital. Everyone is just so awesome. Madison got to pick from about 15 smells for her anesthesia, and she picked root beer. I thought for sure it would have been bubble gum or cotton candy. The surgery lasted about 45 minutes and went well. They ended up putting in an irrigation tube in the duct.

Happy 13th Birthday Gretchen

Wow, 13 years old. Happy Birthday Old Girl!!!
I was getting a little worried about her health. She is having a hard time with the stairs and really cant hear that well. When Matt got home from the Afghan he took her in to see the vet and she said that Gretchen is doing well.
Gretchen and King, drooling over the cupcakes.

Here are all the girls and Justice's friend Quincy waiting for their cupcakes.

Lagoon

What a great way to spend the 4th of July... with my awesome sister in laws and nephew! We definitely lucked out! The weather was great and the lines were pretty short. The girls loved all the rides. Justice was a little scared to ride the large roller coasters. It was all about the first hill. After a little bribe from Dad, and a little white lie.....she was off to the races. We could not stop. What a brave girl.
Brandon, Matt, Nat & Becky

4th Of July Parade

This year Brooklyn was in the Riverdale 4th of July Parade. I have to admit I was alittle nervous about the whole thing... dropping her off & leaving her. It all worked out pretty well in the end. The girls and I found a spot to watch the parade while Matt and Brooklyn found their float. Then Matt joined us for the parade.
Matt, Madison, Georgia, Justice and Me waiting for the parade to start.

Here is Brooklyn. She was so cute up there... She loved every minute of it!
We had alot of fun and the girls got SO much candy.

Zoo

Every year we hit the Hogle zoo and this year was no exception. The girls were excited to go, and Matt and I were excited because it was free for all military families!
