I HAVE ARRIVED!

I finally arrived on July 9th 2009 at 3:09 p.m. via cesarean. My doctors thought I was about 6 lbs so I really surprised everyone when I came out weighing 8 lbs 5 oz. I am 21 inches long and I am very cute! Something else that mom and dad figured out fast is that I am very loud and demanding. I met some relatives today and everyone loves me very much! Oh ya! I almost forgot to tell you that my name is Rigden Joshua.

Countdown

So the baby countdown ticker has ran out and there is still no baby. I don't know if any of you have noticed this before or not, but once the ticker reaches 0, it then starts counting up. For someone who has been pregnant for over 40 weeks it is very irritating to watch this. I went from having 0 days left to having 1 week and 3 days left, according to the ticker. This is exactly how I feel too. I feel like it is just going to keep going and going and going...you get the idea. Therefore, I have removed the countdown and I will let you know when "the big day" happens, if it ever happens! :)

Inkom Baby Shower

This last Wednesday my mom and sisters threw me a baby shower in Inkom. It was so good to see my family and old friends. Of course the weather didn't cooperate once again, but we were at the city park so we had the pavillion. It was raining, blowing, and cold, but we had a fire going on the inside and it turned out just fine. Thanks to everybody who came and for all the wonderful things you brought! Also, thanks to all who helped!

Garden

For years now I have wanted to plant a garden and every year my husband tells me next year you can plant one. Well we finally planted one this year. It is the first time for me and I am just thrilled that the stuff is starting to come up. The down side is the weeding. I always knew that I would have to do it, but man, I can't believe how fast those weeds grow! I actually enjoy weeding, but I can only do it for short periods of time, and those weeds move faster than me! Here are a few pictures of the garden. We are growing peas, carrots, corn, potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelon, & cantaloupe.

Taya's Birthday!

Taya turned 4 this last Friday so we had a little get together. She got so many cool things for her birthday this year. Among them were 2 real live kittens, a battery operated walking dog, a flying tinker bell, clothes, a bike helmet, MP3 player, money, and several more toys. She got spoiled, and I think she had a wonderful day!

WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!

So after 4 years of marriage Ben and I decided to invest in some "real" patio furniture. I am kind of a tight wad and so I have always talked myself out of buying some. We bought a simple small little set and were thrilled with it...for about a month. We went to bed one night and all was in order. The next morning I woke up, opened the blinds, and this is what I found!




We have no idea what shattered the glass into millions of little pieces, but I am not happy about it!

Baby Shower

A few weeks ago my mom and sisters threw me a baby shower. They worked so hard for weeks and then the day of to make things so nice. It was all set up in the back yard of my house and it looked awesome! Well about 20 minutes before it started we got a terrible wind storm and had to bring everything inside. Nobody got to see the outside and I didn't take any pictures because I figured we would get some pictures during the shower. So sorry to everybody for having to cram into my tiny little living room! Thank you all though for the wonderful things and especially for coming! Also, thanks to my fam for spending all the time and money. We appreciate it. FYI: There were 6 prego's at my shower! I think that is a lot!
P.S. Jami, I threw in a pic of you so everybody would see how beautiful you are when your legs aren't showing! j/k
