Here’s our precious little girl! She is the sweetest little baby. She was born March 1st about 6:15 AM. Everything went really well. I was surprised at how fast the surgery went and recovery has been pretty smooth.
We had the hardest time naming her… the name tag on the hospital bassinet was Rachel. None of the names we had thought about were really fitting, and even though Rachel was my go-to name if nothing else fit,  it just didn’t sound right as I kept hearing the nurses call her that. They gave us until 2:00 the day we were leaving to turn in the birth certificate worksheet, and it took us until the last minute to write in the name.

We love our sweet baby Rachelle!!!

Jackson has been learning his letters really well in preschool this year.  First he could write his name with prompts for each letter.  Now he can write his name from memory and this is what it looks like.  This is how he writes it.  Right to left, J and C are usually backwards and k is always an x. If I try to correct him he always says that his teach told him he could do it like that.  I’m proud of our Big Jackson Boy.  One of my proudest moments was when I sat in to listen to his first prayer in Primary.  He did the whole thing by himself.  I was very surprised because he usually shies away from doing things in front of an audience.  He’s an awesome little sunbeam.

This morning I dropped Jacks and Lacey off at my sister’s house for my doctor’s appointment and she and my sisters surprised me with a gift certificate to get a pedicure! Lori said she could watch my kids if I went from my dr’s appointment to get my nails done. It was a great pedicure with an excellent foot and leg massage, and even compliments on my nice calves . The guy kept reminding me, “You’re going to look good when you have that baby!” in his Vietnamese accent. He’s right, they’re beauties! A big thanks to my sisters!

3 weeks to go and still no name chosen.  We need your help. Edit: I (Micah) got it wrong.  Rianna is supposed to be Riana.  and Sierra is supposed to be Cierra?

Disneyland is more fun as a parent of little kids. Everything is amazing to them. They loved almost every ride they went on and wanted to go again and again. They couldn’t comprehend that there were many more things to do and see. We did dumbo twice, teacups 4-5 times, Jackson did Autopia 4 times and Toy Story Midway twice. When we asked him what is favorite was though it was Soarin California where he got to fly! Lacey loved meeting princesses and especially Cinderella. She’s her favorite.
Here are some highlights.
