Check Out my New Nephew!

Isn't he Beautiful?!

Benson Bryce Jolley

Parents: My lovely sister, Natali, and her husband Bryce

Born: May 24, 2010

Weight: 8 lb. 10 oz.

After trying for a baby for nearly 3 years, we were so excited that Nat was able to add to our Hamblin brood of boys!! It was a long, hard labor (I mean, 33 hours hard), but, she is doing wonderfully. I can't wait to meet him at our Family Reunion next month!! Congrats Nat & Bryce! We love you.

He's a Walker Now!!

So, Tristan started walking!! At 10 months!! It took him a couple weeks to perfect it, and, he still falls a lot, but, he gets right back up, and walks more than he crawls now. How did he get so big?

Same Ol' Same Ol'

So, I know I said I would be a better blogger. And, I fully intend to. We just don't have a lot going on lately. Just the same things. And, I realize when I do have pictures to post, that they're all of Tristan. Not fair. So, I'm going to start taking pictures of all my kids more, and doing exciting things. How's that for a resolution?

I just couldn't resist!! Who doesn't love a dimpley baby bum? This boy is almost walking. He takes 5-6 steps at a time now. So, just working on more balance. Then he'll be rearin' to go. Oh, what excitement!

He loves to race to the stairs, and see how far he can climb before I come and retrieve him. Yes, he has taken a few spills. With bruises to prove it.

Sportin' a little faux-hawk. Love my Babe!!

Summer is right around the corner, and we are soooo ready for it to be here already! We have had some great 70 degree days. And, it's nice to get some Vitamin D. Jake found this really cool park in Kirkland we went to last week. The kids had a blast!

Daddy and Tristan at the park.


A great Tire Swing. Just watching the kids do it made me sick to my stomach. They enjoyed it though.

Here's a couple pictures of the cool park. Who wants to come with us next time? Anybody?

For a little update on us: Whitney found a nanny job with a great family, and is happy to have a little income. Her, Jake, and I started a new diet/exercise program. We are on Week 2, and I'm hungry and grouchy! Why oh why do we all have to get old and go on diets? I just want to eat ice cream and chocolate all day long. Let's hope this program works for all of us. Because it's not easy. . .
