Lexi's wedding

At Lexi's wedding we took some shots with Great Grandma Black. It's not very often that she gets to come down and visit :) --we also managed somehow to get a somehow decent shot of our family.

Lexi's wedding was so much fun!

Lexi and Chris make a sweet couple. They really went all out for it--it was beautiful! We also really liked the cake balls-me and Toby were wishing we had some this morning. YUM!

Grandmas are so much fun!

We had so much fun with Grandma

and Grandpa in town. Saying they "helped out" would be an erstatement. We, or I should say THEY were able to accomplish so much while they were here.

We were happy for them to come and hope they want to come again soon! We miss them already!

Dallin just can't get enough of Kali. We've had to cut his holding time down to five seconds. Otherwise, he won't give her up. Can you blame him?

When Grandma Tena and Papa Roger came to stay, we booted Tyler and Dallin out of their bed and gave it to them. Tyler was in heaven every night they were here, because he got to sleep in a fort. Papa helped Tyler make this one...the worst part about it for Tyler was when we made him take it down every morning.

It was a sad day at the Black family home when we had to paint over the Boy's room. We moved the boys downstairs to their own bedroom, and the monkey and snake just would not do for our new baby girl. So, sadly, we painted over Toby's masterpiece. Tyler is already planning out a blue dinosaur for their new room!

Kali's new room turned out really nice! Thanks to Mom, Shelia, and Marilee for all the hard work they put in at the shower!

What a crazy day this was! We were so happy to finally have Kali come. As you can see, they gave Mommie too much morphine...let's just say that pregnancy and morphine don't mix too well. (Makes a crazy lady! LOL)

We had a little trouble naming her-it was a dead tie between Kali or Kenley. We did a mass text message at the hospital to everyone in Toby's cell phone calling for a vote. I'm not sure why we called for a vote, because we were going to name her whatever we wanted to anyways...but it was a fun way to pass the time.

Kali was 5 lbs 7 oz. and 17 inches long. She is the best baby ever! We love her to pieces!!
