Aaron's Blessing

We had Aaron blessed in church last Sunday the 19th. Bryan's parents flew in from Houston, Bryan's brothers had just moved back to Provo from Texas, his grandparents and sister Stephanie's family came and my brother Garrett stayed after working at EFY. We had a house full of love and good food. In Aaron's blessing he was blessed with a sunny disposition and an even temperment. After all of the drama from the girls, we are excited about a child who will add some calm to the mix.

June Days



Our first family outing was to a park for Family Night. Teeter-totter fun.
The girls made Bryan ties for Fathers Day. Proud daddy wore them to church and looked so handsome!

Presenting... baby Aaron Bryan Hanks

We had our little boy on Friday June 5th at 7:02 a.m. Labor started around 11 p.m. on Thurs with contractions 10 minutes apart, at 4:30 a.m. we left for the birth center. I labored in the tub for an hour, then on a birth ball and then had him laying on my side in bed after 13 minutes of pushing. He had the cord wrapped around his neck twice yet was fine once he got out. He weighed 6 lbs 13 oz and was 20." We got home Friday afternoon with mom and baby doing great!

We had my dad come up for 6 days and now have my mom until the end of June. We are so blessed with family, friends and neighbors who all show so much love and support as we celebrate and welcome our newest addition.
The girls had one rough day of transition but are doing so great. Ashley especially is such a little mom- helping with diapers, getting clothes, etc. The girls started swimming lessons and will go for the month of June. On Sunday Emily learned how to put her hair into a pony-tail all by herself. Tonight Ashley learned how to spit toothpaste instead of swallowing it. We are having a great causes to celebrate!

Preschool Graduation

Joyschool Preschool Graduation happened Thursday night.  The girls looked great in their caps and sang beautiful 3 songs.  

Bryan taught Joyschool one day.  Here he is reading to the kids.   Emily drew a picture of a fire-ant- complete with jaws, eyeball, legs, body and bottom.  Here is me 37 weeks pregnant.  Ashley and I colored a picture of a family in a house.  


The countdown is less than 2 weeks- we love you baby!  

Front Yard Flowers


Emily took these pictures of the flowers that are in our front yard.  We did not plant them, just get to enjoy them every spring and summer.  We also are growing strawberries and Emily has eaten 20+ berries so far.  Emily says, "I love plants!"

Baby is Coming

June 13th is my due date, today is May 25th.  I am 37 weeks, 2 days pregnant.  Actual expected arrival of baby is a few days before the 13th, so we are looking at 2 weeks until baby boy.  No we do not have a name picked out yet. Don't bug us we're working on it and will tell you when we have one. 
We are refinishing our hardwood floor this week and will be gone from our house for several days.  A bit beastly.
