Looking a little less surprised

After looking surprised, Chase settled down for some more normal poses.  

Working with children is so difficult.

Jackson said what?

Last night, while holding Chase, he was making some funny faces.  

You can tell that he is getting a little more normal looking, well, normal for a newborn.

Game time

Blake and Jackson are now sharing a room and Stephanie wanted some pictures of the boys together for their room.  They went to the park to play some football in their BYU jerseys.  Both boys had a great time playing football.

Audrey can ride a two-wheeler

When Grandpa Jones was in Tucson, he took it upon himself to teach Audrey how to ride a bicycle.  

With the same loving patience he showed when teaching Audrey's aunts and mom how to drive a stick-shift, Wil succeeded.

Audrey can now ride a bike, even though the handle bars are backwards.

Sister's Visit

Three weeks after Chase was born all of my sisters came to visit.  We took walks to the park and just sat and relaxed while the kids all played.  It was so much fun to have them all come and see little Chase while he was still little.  Blake beat Jen in tetherball,  Audrey carted Benson around and Jackson tried to show Luke the ropes.  We did nothing but the time went by way too quickly.

Jackson rides again!

Stephanie and I were coming home from Chase's doctor appointment when we saw something going on at the local Wells Fargo Bank.  When we got closer, we saw that they were giving free stagecoach rides in an era-authentic stagecoach.

Stephanie called her mom, who was home with Jackson, and we picked them up.  Jackson was ready to ride in his cowboy hat, bandana, and he brought along his Colt Peacemaker for insurance.  

Jackson loved the ride and wanted to keep going.

The driver of the coach had built the coach himself, everything.  It really was an amazing piece of work.

A new addition!

On February 25th at 2:25 PM, we were blessed with another little boy, Chase Levi.  The labor and delivery went great for Matt.  His back got a little sore, but he powered through it.  Stephanie also did very well.  Luckily, the doctor let her start her epidural early on in the process and the delivery was pretty pain free.  

Chase was 8 lb 11 oz, and 21 inches long.  He is a really good boy and loves to cuddle his brothers and sister.  He truly is a blessing and a gift from heaven.

We've finally joined!

After seeing many friends and families blogs, and having my sweet wife ask me when we are going to start one, I have decided to join the information age.  Hopefully this turns out easier than I originally expected.
