Thanksgiving Holiday

So yes, I know Thanksgiving was a while ago but I'm still going to blog about it. Neil's family finally got the opportunity to meet Evelyn and Adia. It was so wonderful to spent so much time with them. So this is Aunty Christy(I gave her that nickname) enjoying being an aunt.

And of course no family function would be complete without a haircut night. Both Kirk and Gary got major haircuts. You should have seen how much hair I swept up off the floor.

Grandma Oler feeding Adia. I told her I expected her to be over all day of everyday that she was down so she can get in as much "grandma" time as she possibly could.

Grandpa Oler feeding Evelyn. It was so fun to watch them both enjoy being with the girls. I was so happy they were able to spend so much time down here.

Obviously we also did Thanksgiving dinner which was held at my parents house but, of course I forgot my camera.

The Story

We found out we were expecting our first mid-March 2008, our little bundle of joy would arrive sometime early November. June rolled around, we went to find out if it was a boy or a girl. Much to our excitement, it was a girl, much to our surprise, she had a sister in there too. We were so excited, and shocked at the same time. And because there were 2 the doctor moved my due date up to early October. Mid-September comes up and I'm sent to the hospital, I'm in labor. Evelyn Mae and Adia Ashley were born the morning of September 23rd.

The Story Take III

We found out we were expecting #4 in early June, not quite ready to share the news we kept our excitement to ourselves for a while. We told the kids but were fairly certain they had forgotten when Neil's whole family came, visited, and left without a word about our bun in the oven. A couple of weeks later, we had some family over for a 4th of July BBQ. Evelyn was admiring Chavonne's 5 month old Emmett and decided to announce "Angelica has a baby in her belly!" Everybody was excited and I was very surprised since I had decided my kids had forgotten. I moving into the 2nd trimester now, and looking forward to finding out the gender of our sweet little love bun.

Ghost In A Jar

Neil sings and plays guitar in a band called Ghost In A Jar. With his friends Tom at the drums, and Peter playing the bass, they started playing together in April of 2006. They've played at a lot of different places including Starry Night, Muse, and The Loft at Ozz in Provo, Comedy Circuit in Midvale, and at various other places and events. Its been fun to listen to them progress and work on writing their songs and having such a great time together. Sadly in April of 2011 they went their separate ways.
