Our Princess is here!

Emmaly Ann Wheeler was born on September 23rd at 4:26 p.m. She weighed 6pd 6oz and was 20 inches long. I was induced that morning a little after 8:00.

Here I am on September 19th. The day after my due date. I am very ready to have my baby.

In the hospital on September 23rd. She is about 5 hours old here.

Here we are a couple hours after she was born. It is so nice now they do everything with the baby there in the room and don't take her out. I love it. I always hated it when they left with my baby. The boys were able to come soon too which was really nice for them.

Here is Tyson holding Emmaly. He was really excited to see the "baby".

Josh was really excited to see Emmaly too. He couldn't wait to hold her.

Dillan was the first of the boys to hold her. We had a contest before she was born to see who could guess the day she was to be born and he guessed the right day, so I told him his prize would be to be the first to hold her.

Here she is on the 24th, not quite a day old.

Here she is on the 24th. I just love her cute little face.




I love how skinny and long she looks when she stretches out like this. So cute and little.

I was so happy to catch a picture of her smiling.

September 25th. Josh held her for about 1 1/2 hours here. She slept the whole time, and he didn't want anyone to take her, so we didn't. He is really good with her.

September 25th. Such a cute picture. She is without a doubt Daddy's Little Girl.

Love the feet pictures!

Sept 26th. Three days old.

She uses this way too much, and it works every time!

Getting caught up on posting

So I have been a HUGE slacker so this is a very brief summary of our summer.

June 26th, Tyson missed Daddy while he was gone so he wore his shirt to comfort him!

June 26th Daddy came home from scout camp and brought back arrowhead necklaces for the boys. They loved them!

July 6th Josh is learning how to ride his bike without training wheels


July 4th, Francom Family Reunion. Daddy and the boys feeding the fish at the fish pond.


July 7th Tyson got into Aunt Becky's makeup and you can tell how often he watches mommy put makeup on because he actually knew where the mascara went.
July 11th we went hiking as a family in the Kanarra Canyon. It was the funnest hike we have been on where 75% of the hike is hiking in the water. It makes it really nice so you don't get to hot while hiking. We had a blast and it was the perfect hike for all ages, and even a pregnant woman!





July 25th Wheeler Family Reunion. Lots of fun games and things to keep us entertained.









August 20th Dillan's first day of school. He was taught at home for Kindergarten, so now going to first grade is the first time sending my first child to school. It was a very hard day for mom and a very exciting day for Dillan. He loved every bit of school and wishes it was every day except for Sunday. We will see how long that lasts.



September 4th Dillan's 7th birthday!! I can't believe my baby is seven! We decided he was old enough to get a real gun this year, so he got a bb/pelet gun. He couldn't have been any more excited! We went on one last campout for his birthday, shot is bb gun, went looking for wildlife, and had a great end of summer family outing for his birthday.

Time with Grandma

We were able to spend time with Keith's Grandma Callister on April 18th and had a great time. She is an amazing woman. She had 16 children of her own with one set of twins, and just celebrated her 95th birthday! She is one of the kindest and most loving women I know. She always has a smile and anyone who knows her, loves her. We were very happy to spend a few hours with her at the park in Delta.

It's A Girl!!!!

Wow!! We are having a girl! Pretty shocking I know. We went and had the ultrasound on Tuesday. We had the boys put in their last guesses and Dillan said " I think it is a boy, but I hope it is a girl." Josh said it was a girl, and Keith told them, that one of them would be right and Josh said very matter of factly, "It's me." Well it was definitely him. When she told us it was a girl, I asked her how sure she was and she said "oh, it's definitley a girl". So here I am trying to think of all the things I need to get now. Pink and purple here we come! We are soooo excited. Oh and of course Keith is already wrapped around her little finger and she isn't even out yet!!! He is a very proud daddy. We can't wait till she gets here. We are getting close to narrowing down a name, but haven't yet.

Baby On The Way!!

Yes I am pregnant! We are expecting our fourth little Wheeler baby on September 18th, or actually a week after that since that is usually when they finally get here. This explains my months of inactivity due to the wonderful first trimester!! Now that I am back alive and into my second trimester, things are going great. We just had our second doctors visit and everything is looking good. We scheduled an ultrasound for the 21st of this month. We are so excited to find out what we are having and are planning on another boy. We will be very surprised if it is a girl. We will post the news then. Hopefully now I will be a lot better at posting :)

Dillan's Bow And Arrow

Dillan saved up all his money for the past year for a bow and arrow he has been wanting. He finally saved up enough money and the day he bought it he was outside for hours shooting it. He is getting really good too! He is out there everyday except for Sunday shooting it (even in the middle of winter) now that's commitment!

New Years Eve!

Our Day started off great. In the morning I set Tyson down on the floor to get him changed. And before I had his clothes gathered up, I found him with his cowboy hat on riding our toy horse. He is so funny.


Not too later on in the morning I was working on my computer to look over and see him with this on his head, and he stayed there (knowing how funny he is!) while I laughed and grabbed the camera. He is such a ham.


I asked Dillan what he wanted to do for our New Years Eve party as a family, and he wanted to make party hats. He made all these (with a little help). We had a great evening watching movies, eating fun food, and of course falling asleep before midnight. But the kids don't know whether you are counting down at midnight or at 11:15. At least we let them stay up that long. Keith and I are just getting to old to feel it worth it to stay up.

Christmas Day!

We first got the stocking and gifts from Santa before opening any gifts and at first Josh was more interested in eating his chips from Santa than he was opening gifts!

Captain Jack Sparrow/Ninja




At least they are having fun fighting!


Dillan made Josh the white box with pictures on it for all his "special" things. Josh loved it.


Tyson loves putting on different hats, hence all the many hats he recieved.


Josh made Dillan a book called "The Dillan Book" where he talked about all the great things about Dillan and drew him pictures. Dillan reads it all the time. I love that they put so much thought into getting each other gifts this year.

Notice all the knit camo hats? Keith made those at work ( the kids he works with have to do them as restitution). I think he did a great job. He also made me a nice grey one that I love. What a well rounded man! He is the manliest of men, but he knits:)
