Easton James Black

Well as most of you know, Easton James Black has arrived! He was born on April 10th, at 5:33pm, weighed in at 9lb 2oz, 20 1/2 inches long and was very healthy! The labor was great although the delivery was a different story. Our little man decided that he was going to be "sunny side up" no matter what the doctor did and ended up getting stuck because of that and his large side. I pushed for over 2 hours and wasn't able to have my epidural for about half of that time. It was tiring, extremely painful, (had a LOT of stitches) but 100% worth it.

Easton will be 2 weeks old tomorrow and is an amazing little guy. He has a sweet, sweet disposition and is already sleeping very well for a 2 week old and is truly a blessing. I has said all the way through the pregnancy that I "just knew" he was going to be a really great baby and there was just something special about him. But to see that come to fruition is really an incredible feeling. I am so thankful to God for always knowing what we need and when we need it. I don't know that I coculd do the whole mom of three thing if he wasn't the way he is.

Here are some pitures of Eston. We hope that you all can meet him soon!

Love to you all!

Lemon Lady

April 4th marked the National Convention for Lemongrass Spa Products. The weather men were predicting a huge blizzard for that weekend, but I ventured on anyway. As it turned out, the weather ended up being fine and I was so happy that I went as I had worked incredibly hard the past year. At convention I was recognized for being one of the 4 women who had acheived the Spa Destination trip for 2009! I had over $15,000 in sales and recruited 9 women in 6 months to receive the trip. It will be an all expense paid trip for Jesse and I to San Diego, CA this June! We also get $150 to the resort spa for the treatments and then another $100 for spending on whatever we so desire. I am VERY excited! While at convention, I was recognized for being the top recruiter of the year for the nation and 4th in the nation for sales. Pretty cool. I am truly blessed to be able to work with such wonderful company and to be able to set my own hours, be creative and have a TON of fun while doing it.

Our first baby is 9 today, no joke!

Today is our dog, Zoe's 9th birthday! She is the first dog that was ever my very own. We got her while we were in Grand Junction visiting my grandma back in 2000. She is such a good dog and we love her lots! Carter really wanted to give Zoe a birthday party tonight. I think it was because he wanted to eat cake, but we indulged his request and gave her a little birthday party.

Carter's First Date

For most of you, you know that Carter's absolute best friend is Clahra. They have been best friends literally since they were babies. I have never seen two little kids play so well together and they really are like Forest Gump said, "Peas and Carrots."

Sadly for us, Clahra and her family are moving very soon to North Carolina to be with Roger as he is in the army and has been away for the last 8 months. Clahra will most likely not be here for Carter's birthday coming up on the 13th so she took him to Lil Mr. Bigg's for a birthday date. The two of them had a great time and played for 4 solid hours. Here are some pictures from there outing...I think they're just too cute!
