Does She Look Like ME?

Here is my baby picture and a couple new ones of Jolie--what do you think? Does she look like me? Everyone keeps asking who she looks like. I think she has my nose and my sweet disposition haha! It's too early to tell if she has my sense of humor--I'll keep you POSTED.

Thanksgiving 2007

We had a nice Thanksgiving in Blackfoot this year. I stayed home with the baby during the feast, but then we were able to visit with Kim and Erick's family and Scott and Kara Lee's family on Friday and Saturday. Colby slept over and Grandma and Grandpa Yancey's so he could have extra cousin time. He loves to play with Kim's kids whenever he can!

Here is a picture of Brett in the Turkey/Pumpkin glasses that Colby made at school--so funny! Dad is always a good sport!


Here are some pictures of our family with baby Jolie.

More Basketball!

Here is a very serious Colby with his team before his game today. Colby has really enjoyed basketball and has vastly improved his dribbling skills since Grandma Diane bought him his own ball while she was here. He practices almost everyday now! Anyway...they won the game today 16 to 8. Good Job Colby!

Taking Colby to School

Ok...this morning Jolie and I had to take Colby to school for the first time since her arrival. Let's just say, tomorrow we need to get up 5-10 minutes earlier for a more successful drop off! This warm furry Winnie the Pooh snow suit is courtesy of Kareena Mullens. It was hard for her to part with it so I am sending her this thank you shout out via blogspot--THANKS KAREENA!

Thank Goodness For Grandma!

My mom was able to take a week off to come and help out with the baby and Colby last week. It was so great to have her here. She took Colby to school everyday and then walked over to pick him up. She also took him shopping for some cool stuff, to basketball practice and scouts and they went bowling! They also played card and video games and watched a lot of movies! What a mom--she also kept me company during the day and helped with the baby and tons of laundry! I miss her already. Thanks Mom! Come back soon so we can eat more french fries from the Homestead.

More of Miss Jolie!

Who is the best big brother in the world? Colby is! He loves that little sister so much and I am very proud of how tender and cute he is with her. What a lucky baby girl! Here are some new pictures of Jolie.

Thursday

I just want to say that I am so grateful to be a mother. Having this sweet baby in our home has reminded me of just how blessed I am to be a woman and a mother. I am so thankful that I have a good husband and two beautiful children. I've told Colby more than once this week that having baby Jolie has helped me to remember what a fun baby he was! I love them both so much.

Jolie Grace Yancey!

Baby Girl Jolie was born on October 30th at 7:48 p.m. She weighed in at 7 pounds 7 1/2 ounces and was 19 3/4 inches long!
When she decided it was time to come, she didn't waste any time and was here just two hours after my water broke! We are very glad that she is here and healthy.


That was a lot of hard work for both of us!


Colby with his new baby sister! He was so cute and jumped right up on the bed to see her and introduce himself.

New daddy with his baby girl. Brett is the best.

October 31st right after her first bath. She didn't like it!



That is a DINOSAUR yawn! Bathing is tiring.

Here's Alysia with baby Jolie. She was our BEST Halloween visitor!


Getting ready to go home with mom and dad...

We weren't expecting to go to the hospital yet, so Brett had to go home and pick out an outfit for Jolie to wear home!

We are so excited to finally have this little baby here.

Home sweet home!
