And then there were three

We had a busy weekend. Thursday I had a doctors appointment, where I decided to be induced the next day. After I made the decision I stewed about it until I was all hooked up at the hospital. I had sorta hoped to go in to labor on my own, but for a variety of reasons decided that induction would be alright. Now that Daryl is here, I am happy I did it. Especially since he was 9lbs. I thought since he was a few days earlier than his due date of the 14th and two weeks earlier than his original one he would be smaller than the girls but no such luck. I guess I am good at delivering consistent babies. (They have all been 9lbs., with chubby cheeks, and not to much hair, though he has the most.)
These are just a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend.

The birthday boys! Daryl and Grandpa Egbert share the same day!

Lucy has been very concerned, attentive and interested in "baby brother" as she most commonly calls him. It has been really interesting to see the girls reactions.

We got a shirt from a neighbor today that says,"Dad's happy I'm a boy!" I think it sums up Glen's feelings well.
We are all happy to have him here!

Those cheeks! Those squishy round cheeks! I need to kiss them. Desperately!

So sweet that he shares a birthday with his grandfather.

And that picture of Glen holding his firstborn son could win a photo contest. Love it.

So glad he's here safely and that you're blogging about it!

California here we come

July 15-19 Early Monday morning we went to the Provo airport to head to John Wayne airport then down to San Diego to celebrate Larry and Janene's 50th wedding anniversary. We met up with everyone but Josh and his girlfriend, Amberlee in Provo. They left earlier and drove so they could visit her family as well. My dad is a bit John Wayne fan so we had to take a picture with The Duke at his airport for him. Once we had our luggage, rental van and food in our bellies we had to get sand between our toes and salt water at least on our feet. We ate at a fun little place in San Clemente called Cafe Rae. It was really little. Our group of nine took up about half their seats. It was really good food and they had great hospitality. Our next stop was the USS Midway in San Diego. Larry had talked about visiting this and the Saint Mary for a long time. It was one of the main reasons we went to San Diego. It was nice to make it happen. I am not really in to military stuff but it was...

My cup with blessings overflows

I am trying to get back in the habit of blogging. Before I go to bed, even though I should be in bed here are blessings from this week. I don’t know it I will remember them all there were so many. Being home to attend church with our ward. Talks from two sister in our ward, Louisa Jones who is a brand new young woman and Holly Draney who is the Primary President, on Sister Kristin Yee’s conference talk, that complimented each other well. They reminded me that God is in the details and even when mistakes are made he can use it to help us learn and bless us. Louisa talked about how she was mad when her parents decided they should move a few years ago but Heavely Father has made it work out. Holly brought up the definitions of the words possibility and joy. She also talked about repairing quilts that had things happen to them. Also a talk from Matt Reeves about the power of the priesthood and how it has blessed his life and has preserved his life. A great less...

Head to the hills- July 7-14

Good things from this week were- Getting dirt to fill the planter box Daryl made for Grandpa Richins. It’s ready for him to use now! Getting ready for girls camp. Watching Lucy play volleyball in a tournament at UVU with high school team girls. It’s crazy that is her last one as a high school player. Eating dinner on the roof and watching the sunset. Girls camp, even the one bad part. Showering after girls camp Sunday dinner at Larry and Janene's and playing with the whip These cool plants were at the nursery we got soil from. I think I might want some in my yard. Lucy played in a volleyball tournament at UVU with the high school team. Lucy thought eating on the roof would be a good idea one night so we could watch the sunset better. She was right. Though Ruth but mostly Beth got pretty comfortable exploring up there. My mom safety barometer went quite high till they got down. The Oquirrh Mountain temple fit right between the trees for a perfect view....
