Back Home

Jackson has been loving Coleman. He held him for a long time on Saturday after we got home and on Sunday. He said on Sunday that he liked holding Coleman more than playing the Wii.

Coleman Roy Dance

Coleman was born on Friday, June 17, at 12:31 pm. He weighed 6lbs 5 oz and was 18 in long.

Enjoy the many, many pictures :)

Jackson was really excited to see him and happy to hold him. Jordan looked at him for a little bit, but didn't want to hold him, and found more interesting things to do (like trying to move my bed up and down). Kenzie wasn't too interested in him. My sister told me that when they showed a picture of Coleman to Jordan and told him it was Coleman he didn't really care. But then they asked him if he knew who Coleman was and he said no and they told him it was his little brother. He was really excited once he knew that.

Grandma Riding and Coleman

Doug played on his phone a lot while we were in the hospital. His current game of interest is Plants Vs. Zombies. Sounds fun huh? :)

Ready to go home

Birth Story:
I was induced Friday morning. We got to the hospital around 7 and the doctor broke my water around 8 and the nurses gave me pitocin around 8:30. The anesthesiologist came in around 9 and I was all set with my epidural around 9:30. I was nervous it wouldn't work since it didn't with Kenzie all the way, but it did. Around 11 though I started feeling contractions on one side so they gave me a little more epidural and after a half hour it started working. A little before noon the doctor came in and I was dilated to a 9.5. He told the nurses to turn the pitocin down because he had to go tie someone's tubes and he'd be back after. Shortly after he left I was feeling ready to have the baby, but I had to keep him in until the doctor came back. It's not very fun to hold a baby in. The nurse kept telling me it was a very short procedure that he was doing and so he'd be back quick. He came back in around 12:25 or so and they got ready for delivery. After 2 pushes little Coleman was born. We love him so much!

Preschool Graduation

Jackson had his preschool graduation tonight. He sang some songs and got a diploma and then we all ate yummy treats. It was a fun night. I can't believe he's really going to be a kindergartner. He's getting old. :)

Miss Ashlee was giving the kids their graduation caps.

This picture and the next few are of Jack and his classmates singing their preschool songs. He was in between 2 of the taller kids so he looked especially small and kept getting hidden behind them.

Jordan was pretty entertained by their dancing.

Jackson with Miss Ashlee after getting his diploma and book of some of the things he did this year.

Look at his book with his friends.

Jackson with his class. The girl in the pink shirt was trying to hold his hand right before this picture. Ashlee told me that he said he was going to marry her. But she said that she was going to marry someone else, but didn't know who yet.
