We blessed Zane the end of Feb. while my Mom was here and JD's parents came up as
well to be apart of it. It was nice to have them all here for that.

Birthday Boys Take Two
We had a quiet Birthday night with the boys. Dell wanted hamburgers and fries for dinner, and then he picked out a "big doughnut cake" as he called it and they opened their presents.

Baby Boy
Zane is 2 weeks old already and growing like crazy. He's already weighing in at 9lbs and almost 21inches. They grow so quickly at this age. I've been trying to take lots of pictures. Here's a few to enjoy.
Birthday Boys
We had a small birthday party for Dell at the bowling alley yesterday. He's been asking to go bowling for weeks so we thought it would be a great activity for his birthday. He only invited a few kids and he had a good time. I can't believe he'll be 7 how time flies. Mason got in on the birthday action too as he'll be 2 next week.

Speedy Delivery
Zane Rockwell came flying into the world Sat. Feb. 5th, 2011at 3:02am weighing in at 8lbs 5oz and 20inches long.
We had planned on doing another home birth, but he had plans of his own. My water broke at 2:00 and we called the mid wife and she said to call back when contactins started they took about 10 mins or so to start and then they came every 2 min but very short 10-15 seconds so I waited to call the midwife because my contractions have always started slow. Within about 10 minutes they were one on top of another and I couldn't catch my breath let alone breathe and the midwife hadn't even left yet so I "begged" JD to take me to the hospital for some pain relief. So we loaded up and when we got to the hospital I ran through the doors trying to get to Labor and Delivery but buckled over on the floor about half way there. This is where Zane made his grand entrance in the world on the floor of the hospital lobby while the nurses came running down the hallway. This is not what I had in mind for his birth but it turns out that it was the best circumstance we could have had, because had he been born at home the mid wife would not have arrived until 10-15 minutes after his birth and we had no supplies at home to be able to clear his airway and make sure he was okay. My labor progressed so quickly (1cm to delivery in an hour) that I didn't have time to recover from each contraction before another one hit and that's why I couldn't catch my breath and truly felt totally out of control. I'm very grateful to have a happy healthy little boy.

Loosing Teeth
Just the other day I noticed a funny little gap in between Ellie's bottom teeth that I hadn't seen before so I asked if she had a loose tooth. The answer Yes, and not a day later while driving down the road I heard from the back seat. Hey Mom look my tooth, can she really be that old already that she is loosing teeth. Here she is sporting a nice gap and her $2.00 bill from the Tooth Fairy.
Working for Daddy
JD has been rather busy the last couple of weeks and we have been waiting on product to show up so we could send out samples. Well product came in when he was out of town so it was up to us to get the samples out to the stores. The big kids were very helpful folding boxes, wrapping bottles, and stuffing boxes, but the little one had more fun taking the boxes away and emptying them, but in the end we got all 100 samples sent out.
