Emma's first photo shoot

My sister in law Nicole Francom does a fabulous job taking pictures and was so nice to take some of Emma back in October. She is almost 4 weeks old here. Nicole did a wonderful job and I really appreciate it. Here are some of my favorites. Thanks Nicole!

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 :)
