Parker is here!

Well it has been a very long time since i last updated our blog so I thought I would start with the most recent happenings and work backwards to catch up. We are very happy to say we now have another addition to our family.....Parker Gordon Garrett. He was born June 18 at 12:02 p.m. weighed 7 lbs. 10 oz and was 20 inches long! This labor was extremely fast, I went from being dilated to a 5 to having him here in 17 min!! I was a little nervous how life would be with 4 kids but so far it hasn't been too bad. I have had my mom and sister here helping and that has been such a treat and life saver. I don't know what we are going to do when they leave! Parker has been such a joy and everyone loves to hold and kiss him. He loves it when you talk to him and will instantly look your way when you start to talk. Here are a few pictures and I will add more as I collect them from our cell phones.


I am not big on taking pictures right before the baby is born but since this could be our last one I thought I should have at least one to look back on!


Not planning this, Therin has worn the exact same shirt when we have gone to the hospital to have a baby. So all of our kids first pictures are with Therin in his famous Ricks College T-shirt! :)

We also have a similar picture, with each child, of Therin changing the first diaper!! ;)

Our first "family of 6" picture! Holy Cow!!!


The nurses were so nice at the hospital! This one let mason listen to Parker's heart beat with her stethoscope.
