ZANDER's here!

Where the heck am I? This place is too bright and noisy.

Mommy meets Zander.....She's thinking "it's about time" and "what a sweetie".

Proud daddy Ian....he was a bit emotional - who could blame him?

Grammy has checked every part of me and I'm perfect!
Cedes has been waiting for this for a long time. She's a big help to her mother. And loves her new brother.
Sister Kelsee holding her new baby brother. She was really excited, but a bit nervous.
He's all legs and arms....just like his dad.
Okay, so I'm not focusing very well yet, what's to look at? These people are kinda scary...
Hey grammy, can't you stop with the light flashing already????? (2 weeks old)
Ethan has this weird "picture face" he makes now, strange but adorable. This is about as close to the baby as he would get those first 3 days. Every time Emily held him, he freaked out. It was pretty funny.

Zander Ian Day was born on 7/22/08, 8 pounds 5 ounces, 21 inches long. He had a tough birth and was a bit beat up and swollen, but the later pictures, you can see he's better now. We sure do love to kiss those fat little cheeks. And is dad is so proud (it's his first biological child); he's been the dad to the two girls for 5 years, so this is great for him. And Mandy was excited to have a boy, finally. These pictures might not be in order, but I'm not sure I remember how to do that. Don't forget to keep reading for the two new blogs beneath this one, one from the art show, and one for Tiffany's wedding. xoxoxoxoxox Leave your comments.

THE ART SHOW IN OGDEN

What a cute and talented family. The adults for art (Kerri paints beautifully I hear) and the boys for ENERGY. I'm glad I don't have to chase after them all day. No wonder Kerri is so skinny.

Alright, so I took this one, but Kay still wasn't in the picture. What the heck??? This was the first time we all met Casey. We were impressed.



Kay insisted on taking the picture, so he's not there. It was a beautiful setting, too bad some of us aren't that beautiful, hahahaha






What am I leaning in for??? It was probably just trying to straighten out my back, ugh.

Ben and a artist friend of his had a show in Ogden and it was amazing. Ben is so talented and it's hard for me to believe that anyone in the family could do something as amazing as his sculptures. The decorated horses were all over downtown Ogden for the celebration, some of them were really amazing. The picture of Ben's family turned out really great. It was a fun night and afterwards, Kay treated everybody to dinner at Ruby River....whoa that set him back some big bucks, but we really had a great time. Luckily he didn't have to pay for us by the pound......

Tiffany's Wedding

What a beautiful couple. Casey and Tiffany Bullock, August 2, 2008

Just coming out of the temple doors to get pictures after the ceremony.
Here are the old folks.....
We were on the shady side of the temple, and the temple grounds were beautiful, as usual.

The back of Tiffany's dress was amazingly beautiful. A pain to lace up though, so Steph said.

The entire Bob Hammond Family with newest additions Maisy and Casey.

On the steps of the temple, always love these kind of pictures.

We stopped by the Conference Center when walking back from the Temple and I took this picture of Ben's scupture in the Hall of Prophets called "Sustaining the Prophet". We are all very impressed.

Tiffany and Casey's wedding was beautiful and we were all so happy for them. I just put a few pictures up because I haven't been able to post for so long and I didn't know if it would work.
I'll be posting some more if this works, but they will probably be chronologically out of order. Love, Helen.
