Malachi's Firsts!

August 19, 2008

Melene and I took Malachi outside to enjoy

the beautiful day and give his big sister some

time riding her bike, she likes it a lot, though

she still cannot touch the pedals.

Malachi's first bath and his big sister was

right there to help! She has been such a great

big help, especially with taking the diapers to

the diaper pale and getting mama diapers

when she needs them.

Melene has her babies too and loves being near
her baby brother, as he swings she is taking
care of her own baby!

and be able to go with Aunt Kat!

Happy Birthday & Welcome Home Malachi

August 12, 2008

Melene was sleeping when I arrived home from

the hospital, but when she woke up it was one of

the first things she wanted to do was hold

her new baby brother.

Welcome Home Malachi!

Aunt Kat picked us up from the hospital and

Dominick was the first to greet us when we got

home, he was pretty excited to have another boy around.

Getting ready to leave the hospital

comforted byMama's touch.

Proud Cousin Alily holds her baby cousin.

Malachi Jabin weighed 6lbs 9oz. and was
19 inches long arriving 8/11/08 at 11:11 a.m.

Melene's first reaction to her new baby brother.

She was a bit confused that the baby was here

and not in mommy's tummy anymore!

Papa and Beste arrived as soon as they could,

they were both out of town, so it was Dominick

who called his mommy to come and get his

Auntie as she was going to have her baby.

He has grown up so fast and is such a good

little man, him and his Auntie have been

there for one another a lot!

We went out to Paradise Valley for a wedding

and these pictures were caught of my precious

little girl. The one above was caught in the moment

of her crawling up in my lap to tell the baby she loved him.

Melene would touch my tummy and say:

"I love you baby" it was so precious.

Melene's 2nd Rockies Game

July 19th, 2008

The Rockies kicked some butt and we

had a blast with all of the family and friends

celebrating the marriage of James and Ashleah!

It was the activity the day after the wedding and

the theme for us was crazy hats, oops I forgot mine.

Ashleah and James took Melene and the other
kiddos in their wedding to pick out something
with the Rockies, Melene of course picked out
a cute little hat, as she loves her hats.


Our beautiful Newly Weds!

Happy 30th Birthday Aunt Kat

JULY 8th, 2008

We celebrated Aunt Kat's 30th with a bbq

out at her new place. She is not quite moved in

yet, but we had a great time hanging out and

celebrating her life! The kids had a ball running

around the place as she has lots of room for Dominick

and their two dogs.

Happy July 4th 2008

Our July 4th was full of fun at the city park, Melene

loved her blue snow cone as it was hot.

They then enjoyed ice cream after a wonderful

dinner outside with Papa, Beste, and friends.

Then I forgot my camera for the night of fireworks.

Oh well!
