Proud Brothers and Sister

Zach, Brinley, and Boston

Our sweet little angel! We are SO happy to have her here, and healthy! What a little miracle!

Life is definitely more busy being a mother of 4! I guess that's why it's taken me a week to post any pictures! My sweet husband knew me well and came home the night she was born and put it on my blog! I can't believe he figured it out! Way to go honey! I had to come and put some pictures on though! I have a TON and will post more later, but I am tired and going to bed! So this can be your sneak peak! Check back for more!

Oh, by the way we did change the spelling on her name if you were wondering.  We kept going back and forth in the hospital and liked this way the best! :o)

Hallie Bingham Has Arrived!!!

I am excited to announce that my little angel Hallie Bingham has arrived.  Both she and her beautiful mother are healthy tonight.  She was born at 9:39 PM, weighed  7 pounds and 7 ounces , and is 19 inches long.

It was the longest labor of any of our children but well worth the wait.  We all feel blessed that she is here and that all is well.  We love her!!!

Fishing at Vivian Park

The other night my sister gave us the idea to go up the canyon and cook hot dogs and marshmallows.  How come I don't ever come up with fun ideas like that?  So, we had to throw in the fishing poles too! And to make my job easier we just grabbed Subway on the way!  We did cook smores in the fire though, and they were yummy! My sis taught me that if you set the chocolate bar in the ashes next to the fire, it melts and gets all runny and you can just pour it on! Much better than biting into a big chunk of chocolate! The kids had a ball fishing, sissy is the only one who caught one (actually 2) though!  We don't even like to eat fish, so we usually just put them back in the river! You have to be quick though!

Brinley and her 1st fish! (of the night)

When we put him back into the river he wasn't looking so good.  Sonnet had to jab him with a stick to give him a little help! He flipped over and swam off right into the moss, so we couldn't see him anymore.  She and the kids were worried about him all night hoping he was o.k. They even named him Frankie and blessed him in their prayers that night!

Looking for a "bite"

My ankles were SO swollen and my sis thought it would be funny to take a picture of my ankle next to her skinny little thing! She had never seen my ankles like this before! And neither have I! It isn't very fun, I've never been pregnant in the summer before, and this is one of the pleasures I get to enjoy! 

Fishing in the dark!

Boston playing in the fire pit!

We had so much fun! Thanks Son for the fun idea and for coming with us!

Bee's game!

Last Tuesday night we met my brother Rhett and his family at the Bee's game in S.L.C. my sister also came and brought a friend with her.  It was SO HOT but the kids had alot of fun! We ate Snowies and Hot Dogs, and of course had to go on the train ride! We got there just as they were giving the last ride, and I had to talk the guy into doing one more for the kids!  Chris Shelton was playing for Washington which was who we were really there to see.  It's always fun to watch someone you know play.  He was friends with my Rhett and played for my dad too.  The kids thought it was fun to go down and talk to him and have him sign their balls, and of course we had to get a picture!

The boys and their balls! (he he)

The train ride!

Cute cousins!

I can't believe I had Morgan take this picture, but it was going to be the last time we saw each other before we both had our babies!  Bobbie Jo is having hers C-section on the 17th (this Friday!) and I am scheduled to have mine on the 28th! These two little cousins are only going to be 11 days apart! How fun!

Udy family July 2009

Over the 4th of July my family all went to Park City for my dad's baseball tournament.  Zach and my nephew Austin were both playing and everyone else was there for fun! Also, my brothers were both helping with the tournament so they kinda had to be there! My brother Ryan and his family drove here from Tennessee to spend a few weeks, and this was their last little hurrah before they headed back home! Anyone who knows my mom very well, knows that her pride and joy is having her family together! And according to her we don't do it enough!  My dad got us all a couple of condos to stay in together and it was a fun few days, full of baseball games, swimming, fireworks, more baseball games, eating, and having fun!  My mom insisted that we get a picture of everyone together and after the fireworks was the only time that happened, so it was kinda dark, but it still turned out pretty good! At least she got her wish!  It was a fun weekend! Thanks everyone for coming!

Zach's finger! OUCH!

Last Monday night the kids were outside playing and Morgan had been out there with them.  He came in for a bit and we were both inside and heard this blood curdling scream come from outside and we both went running to see what it was.  Just then Zach came flying through the back door with blood dripping everywhere! I thought his finger had been cut off.  He was freaking out cuz of all the blood and couldn't even tell us what happened.  As soon as Morgan started washing if off under the sink we could tell it needed stitches.  So, we just went up to the Urgent Care on Main Street and 2 hours later came out with 2 layers of stitches it was so deep! They also gave him an x-ray and found out that he had fractured his finger in 2 different places! The wind was blowing really hard that night, and he was going through the side garage door and turned around to close it right when the wind caught ahold of it, and it slammed right on his finger! Luckily nothing more happened and luckily he just played his last baseball tournament in Park City over the 4th of July!  He actually has one more tournament over the 24th, but we'll have to see if he will be able to play or not! I take him on Wed. to get his stitches out and see what the doc says!

I know you can't really tell how bad it is in this picture, but you get the idea!

The doc stitching him up!

I thought this picture was so sweet of Morgan holding on to Zach's hand.  He was in alot of pain, and it was hard for us to see our tough little guy hurting like that!

ALL DONE!
