Samantha and baby Annabelle

Velvet's sister Autumn got us matching dresses for the girls. The dresses are from some exclusive European company. (See Samanthas puffed sleaves) Anyways, we thought this picture was too cute. Samantha sure loves her sister and is always helping mommy with changing her clothes and diapers.

Sammy is in Pocatello today with her Gran and Grandad and playing with her cousins. We miss her for she is truly a joy to have around. Velvet and I feel so blessed to have 2 angels in our family!

Annabelle Joy Staub 1 Week Old

We had some photos done the other day and they turned out great! Annabelle was a good sport as we moved her tiny baby body around to get the photo we wanted.

Annabelle is such a sweet and good natured baby. She already sleeps 4-6 hour stretches so Velvet and I can get our sleep in. She only cries when she is hungry and if she is full and wrapped tightly in her blanket life is good for her.

We surely love our new addition to the family!

Conference in HD !

Doing great multi-tasking right now as a upload more pics to this blog while listening to General Conference. I will do my part to keep it alive! To all of you who don't get to watch Conference in HD that's a shame. I thought UFC fights in HD were cool but it's nothing compared to all of the exciting, heart pounding and adrenaline packed action of Conference!

We are getting anxious to have baby Anabelle here but I think we are a few weeks out. She is still breech but we are going to see if she turns at the last minute when labor starts. Velvet doesn't think labor will ever start. At Thursday's Dr. appointment there were no signs of dilation or efacement.

It's been a snowy, rainy, cold weekend but the leaves are beautiful and the fall feel is in the air. I love this time of year.

Just Kidding, here it is....

I finally made on entry!

I guess I finally may have figured out how to make and entry! Hope everyone is doing well. Congrats Hay and a possible new modeling career. It's a good feeling to know I won't have to work anymore because you'll have plenty of money to spare for your bro!

Everything is going well here in Utah. Summer is almost over but FALL is a great time of the year.

This was a photo Velvet had taken the other day. Samantha is almost 4 years old. These kids a sure cute and fun and a total joy!

Log Man

Well, we are home at last. It was a pretty traumatic couple of days for our little family. Logan is doing surprisingly well for all which he has been through. The next couple of weeks should be very interesting. We are trying to round up a wagon and a bean bag to make life a little less stressful. All in all things are well. Thanks so much for ya’lls thoughts and prayers in our behalf; they have been very well received. We love you!
