It's About Time!!! So Exciting...

Steph & John told us last night that they are going to have a baby!!!!  Baby Hoover should arrive around August 29, 2013...it's so exciting and everyone is so happy for them.  Now all the fun planning begins!!!

Happy Baptism Day!

Welcome Claire Elizabeth

Welcome Claire Elizabeth Stultz!

Claire was born on December 21, 2012 at 5:41pm and was 6lbs 12oz and 19 7/8 inches.

I cannot believe how quick this pregnancy went by and we are really glad that she is finally here and part of our family.  The day was so exciting as Nick & I were getting ready for her to come.  We didn't have much planned but somehow we managed to fill up the time waiting to make our way to the hospital.  We of course had to wait a little while for Dr. Sue to show up, but once she did things happened pretty quickly.

The csection was not that much fun and truthfully I wouldn't want another one, but once Claire was pulled out and I heard her cry it was all worth it.  Nothing like seeing Nick hold his new little daughter!  He & I enjoyed our time with her and were anxious for the kids to come up and meet her the next day.  Jeff & Emma LOVED meeting Claire, Jeff did a great job holding her and you can see the love on his face whenever he talks to her...melts my heart!

The Stuff Comes Out...

These are some of my favorite pictures!  I LOVE them...

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

As much as we all love going up to the lake every weekend during the summer, it feels great to be home enjoying the fall weather.  It was so nice over the weekend that we decided to take the kids to the pumpkin patch!!!  Love the pumpkin farm up in Erie, MI...it's the perfect place for the family to go.  We enjoyed walking aorund, then took a tractor ride out into the field to pick our pumpkins and when we got back we had the best apple cider and sugar donut!  Can't wait to go back up there next year.



First Michigan Football Game!!!

We got to take the kids to their first Michigan Game over the weekend and we had such a great time!  We went with a bunch of people so we ended up driving 2 different cars.  The kids lasted until mid 2nd Quarter...not long at all and so glad we didn't have to pay for the tickets, but very happy that we got to take them!!!!



It's a Girl!!!

Hard to believe how quickly this pregnancy is going...I'm already 25 weeks and Little Miss will make her appearance no later than December 21.  Everything is going well so far and there are no complaints, right now I'm wanting to organize the house and get rid of as much as possible!
