Stratton FINALLY arrive!

He came around 5 in the morning on the 7th of April. Danica let me be with her through labor and delivery. She was truly amazing. No complaining, although she started the whole process about 7 am on the 6th of April. He was 8'14" and perfect. Brennon was fun to be with, he was excited the whole time (except when he slept) and they will be amazing parents. Thanks for Stratton, we intend to fully spoil him!

Finishing off 2010

Biggest news EVER! Danica and Brennon are having a baby! They told us by giving us a cute picture of them in their photo booth. They are having a boy and are naming him Stratton Randall (the name we chose for all our girls that didnt turn out to be boys)

Thanksgiving was great with the Gutterys. Love all the newly weds (we have four in these pictures)

Everyone, including Grandpa, took to the streets on whatever form of wheels they could find.

This game evolved into putting someone in the middle of the grass and using him as the target.

Jamisons football team was so fun to watch. We went to a few of his games and then to his state playoff. They are the best boys too, so we really were hoping for a win - but they did give them a good game.

John and Shar had a little girl named Willow - She is perfect.

Some of Breeas friends surprised her with this display of 100 things they love about her.

The Ward Christmas party was awesome, the Priest found this Icecream bike at a yard sale and surprised Bill by fixing it up for him - They are probably the best Priest I have ever known.

Tessa being an Angle, on stage and as a little helper.

Guttery 2010 Beach trip!!

OK, I get a little flack from the family because I wait til the last possible minute to book our place in California, hoping someone wants to rent a great place for cheap rather than let it set for a week and sure enough!!!!! See the double peach unit? We had the place all by ourselves and a great garage and location. The weather was a little colder than normal but we still got to do all the traditional SDB fun and added a few extra things this year.

Breea and Brennon were loving the longboard and Tessa cracked us up on the tandem bike with dad. This is how she rode for over an hour, with her head rested on his back not seeing anything in front of her and didnt have a single complaint.

We kept the boards, wetsuits and bikes a couple of days and spent alot of time on the boardwalk.

We got to have Maddie come with us - she's part of our family now!

Some other highlights were Joes Crabshack, volleyball, card games, church, videos, shopping, and lots of warm cookies.

Disneyland 2010 (FREE, with our give a day, get a day service project)

I told Tessa that she could use the controls to go high or low and she said "These guys are crazy, they're gonna let me drive" ?

It was fun to see all the Halloween decor and the haunted house was totally Holloweenized

My guess is that Tigger was a teenage boy, with all the lovin he gave my girls.

Everyone loves "Its a Small World"

Except those that dont.

Danica hung out with the little ones, because she was "with child" and the rest of us hit space mountain. Tessa got hurt, so she ended up at the nurses station where they promptly gave her anything she wanted as not to have a lawsuit on their hands. So, front of the line passes for about 4 rides and any size of sucker she wanted! GO TESSA!

Great time, and a decision that we could wait another 3 years before going again. Tessas only stipulation was that the next park we go to cannot be Sea Land, it has to be Sea World.
