Norah 3 months!

Norah Lynn!

Norah was born Oct 25 2011 at 3:13 in the afternoon. I am happy to say that this was a pretty easy and painless pregnancy and birth. I was induced on my due date at 9:00 in the morning. about noon i was only 3 centimeters and was waiting for my epidural. Once i got my epidural and they broke my water an hour later i was at 6cm. At around 2:30 i told chase that i had to push he said "should i get the nurse?" i said no they will come check on me in a bit. The nurse came in shortly after and told us her head was right there and she was getting the doc. Chase and I were a little surprised that this was it and we would be seeing our girl any minute. A few pushes later and i was holding Norah in my arms. It was amazing. I was so happy to have chase my by side just us together and our new little addition to our family!

Moab!

we had so much fun going to moab with sammi and jm! i think we may just have to do this every year! this is us hiking up to Millcreek pools. Marley fell asleep on the way up there but luckily she woke up to play in the pools!

We had to cross the river a few times and it felt so amazing to cool off in the cold water.







It was so good to get us girls together again. I missed my Sammi!




























































































the second day of hiking we went into the national park! we had never been there before and it took our breaths away! it was a beautiful place!













we hiked up to double arch. i think this was one of the the coolest ones we were able to hike to.





















































this was at devils garden on the way to landscape arch. it was nice there was lots of shade!























































we were all getting pretty tired so we decided to walk to the view of delicate arch. the kiddos were so done with the heat and hiking!















it was so beautiful! we can't miss it next time!
