Emmie's 5th Issac's 2nd B-day!

Number 4 is on the way!

Just thought I would spread the news that Brent & I are expecting number 4. We are very excited. We were planning on waiting to spread the news, but this week I stepped on a rusty nail. So I had to go and get a tetanus shot. The doctor wouldn't give it to me without consent of my OBGYN. So on my return home to pick up my children from Amy's shower. Everyone asked how my shot went. Then without thinking I said, he wouldn't give it to me without consent from my OBGYN. Then Cindy said, so your pregnant! Yep, that was the announcement for number four, by accident. We are about 8 weeks along and are due in November. Hope everyone is well. Love you all!

What's his name?

Hooray! We heard Robert and Melissa had a baby boy... but what is his name? We love you guys! Can't wait to see him!

50th Birthday Celebration!!!!

As many of you know, our wonderful mother is turning 50 tommorow. She has always done so much for all of us to make us feel special, and always goes out of her way to do extra things for us. This year for her big 50 we are having a surprise party (the reason I can type this here is beacause I know she doesnt know how to get on this blog).
We want all of her siblings to write 2 nice things about her (things admired, funny nice stories, or other good attributes) you can type them here on the blog, and we will combine them to give to her at her surprise party. Late notice ,I know for those of you who live around here, but the party is this Saturday the 12th at 7:00 pm at the Nothum home. We would love all of the adults to come and celebrate with us. Please keep this a secret and dont forget to wish mom a happy Birthday tommorow.

What's up in Cali?

Eliza is getting excited to go to Missouri. She has been riding her John Deere Gator all over town.

This is Eric receiving his 10 year recognition award for employment at an Impact dinner. We have been so blessed to work for such a great company. Eric is so awesome; they only had great things to say about him.

We love you all!

Ben and I found out that we are having a baby girl!!! We are sooo excited!

Easter "Camp Out"

We all went to the lodge Friday night. It was a little chilly and damp, but we promised the kids an actual camp out in April. We all had a great time dancing, eating, and watching a movie.

Saturday we got some brush taken care of that has been worrying Grandmother and had a lot of fun roasting hot dogs and marshmallows, walking through fire, and finding Easter eggs.

~Welcome Ryan Michael~

Amy and Nathan are proud new parents. Their sweet little angel arrived today at ll:09 this morning- the first day of Spring. He weighed in at 71bs. 12 oz. and is 21 1/2 inches long. He has light brown hair and is soooo sweet. We had the opportunity to visit them at the hospital today. His name is Ryan Michael and he is named after his Dad's middle name Ryan and his Uncle Ryan as well. His middle name comes from Nathan's little 9 year old brother Michael.

Hopefully they will post some pictures of him later for all to see. Again congratulations to Amy & Nathan! Welcome to Ryan Michael!

Kids Say The Cutest Things

Brent has been documenting cute saying from our children. I thought I would share a couple that Porter has said.........

"I was in utah for Meghan’s wedding. Linell calls me and tells me that porter and Parker were playing under the blankets when Porter lifted them up over his head and asks linell. “Mom, can God & Santa see us under the covers?” Linell tells him, yes they can. Porter then asks, “How can they do that?”

When we were at a bonfire at Rex’s house. Teriann (who was 8 ½ months pregnant with a cute belly) Came up in the dark and stood beside us. Porter started looking at her and pointing at her and whispering “dad…dad…look” “dad, look”. I said what porter, what about her? “dad, look….” What is it porter……”Dad, she has a mountain on her.”

Yep,... here we are.

We just want everyone to know that we love them. We think about you all so much. We wish we could see everyone whenever we wanted. We can't wait to be in Missouri this summer!

Hannah is 3!

What a cutie. We can hardly believe she's 3. We are so thankful that Hannah is in our family.

THE CROWNING OF A NEW KING

A couple of weeks ago, Porter had the privilege of crowning the new KING at Willard's Court Warming. Lisa Nothum was chosen as an escort to the KING who won also. You can also see her in the picture. She looked beautiful!

What's new with Eliza?

Eliza loves to stick everything in her mouth. I figured out it was because she broke her first tooth just this week. And it's a sharp little sucker.

Eliza loves Hannah too. She watches everything Hannah does. And that is how she is already crawling, pulling herself up to stand next to the couch or stairs, and standing up in the bath. Eliza will be 7 months old on February 12th, and I'm pretty sure she'll be walking at 8 months just like Hayden and Hannah. Little miss Hannah will be 3 on the 15th too. No wonder I keep having babies... because mine grow up way too fast!

We love you all!
