thank you mangoink.com!

We finally had some time to get a few more pics of the fam. It has been the most wonderfully crazy few weeks of our lives. Thankfully, everyone is healthy and seemingly back to normal for now. I hope we don't have to see the inside of a hospital for a very long, long time.

Liam Daniel

Well...looks like 84% of our friends were wrong. We now have another boy in the mix. We could not be happier. Liam came into the world on Saturday, and after a very quick and easy delivery our litle family became four. He is happy and healthy which is more than we could ever want. Thank you to everyone who sent well-wishes, emails, flowers and gifts over the last few days. It makes everything that much sweeter knowing we have such wonderful people around us. Here are a few pictures from the hospital...hope you enjoy and get a chance to come meet him in person soon! All our love, Jonn, Steph and Jackson

Ready or Not...

Well, this is our last day with only one child! We are going in bright and early for a scheduled induction tomorrow morning and looking forward to meeting this little one. Still no girl name picked out, so we will have to wait and see. Hopefully everything goes smoothly and Jackson behaves! We will post pictures and an update as soon as possible. Wish us luck!

Summer Fun

Here are a few quick pics from this past week. We have been so busy playing catch-up with friends. We have spent a lot of time playing at the park, and even took the weekend for a family trip to see the air show. I know it sounds kind of lame, but we had so much fun and especially loved the new F-22 Raptor Jet. Amazing!

My Random "Three's"!

I have been tagged by my adorable southern belle Hannah (too long ago). Since I haven’t done a tag on my blog yet, I decided to go for it.

JOYS
1. Watching Jackson sleep
2. Spending time with family
3. Doing anything creative

FEARS
1. Anything bad relating to my kids or family
2. Having 2 kids...yikes!
3. Snakes, seriously

GOALS
1. Raise stable children
2. Take time for myself
3. Try to relax and enjoy life more

OBSESSIONS/COLLECTIONS
1. Collections: as of right now, fabric!
2. Obsessions: taking as many pictures as possible...time really does fly by too fast!
3. Obsessions: over-organizing my house

RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME
1. I am a total procrastinator, but I swear I always do my best work at the last minute.
2. I love being a homebody and just being with my family.
3. Some say I have an addiction to make-up. Not necessarily wearing it, but collecting. It is slightly out of control.

I now tag...Meghan R., Karissa N., and Jamie S.

This summer we took our first family vacation to Missouri so we could visit Jonn's parents. Here are some pictures at the Cardinals game, Waterpark, St. Louis Arch and Zoo!

This may be funny to us only...well see. But, on a car ride home from Coeur d'Alene he wanted to try out his voice. Make sure your volume is not too loud!

THE BIG DAY!

It was a very proud day at the Birdwell household. Pete was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles and Scott graduated from High School! There is a lot to celebrate around here. We are all so proud of the boys and cannot believe how hard they have each worked. Scott will head off to college at EWU and Pete will forgo signing to take a scholarship at University of San Diego. Each are a step closer to realizing life long goals and we could not be happier!!!
