Stampcrete Patio!

Finally our patio is finished!!  They started the week before Allison was born, and it only took them a week.  Considering all the rain we had, they did a great job!!  We are really enjoying having a place to hang out outside!  Patio party soon to come!

New Swingset!

Cole needed something else to play on in our yard, so we bought him a swingset!  He loves to swing, he could stay in there for hours!  It only took Rob and Matt 6 hours to put together - and many beers!  Thank you Matt for helping out!

Allison Jane Newson has arrived!

I am so happy that she is finally here!  Only 2 days past her due date, and born on the 4th of July!  Our little firecracker!  I went into labor at 145am, contractions every 10 monutes that woke me up.  We waited to call the doc until they had gone on for 2 hours, and by that point they were getting closer!  The ride to the hospital was a little uncomfortable - they were about every 4 minutes then!  We got there around 4 am and I was 6 cm.  The doc got there at 5am and I was 8cm!  I pushed 3 times and she was out at 6am on the dot!  The doc said that I must have really wanted her out - there was no stopping me once I got started!  My mom and sister were here to visit, they came the afternoon before, so I think she was just waiting for her aunt to be here!  Allison came so fast that it was only Rob and I in the delivery room this time!  Cole is getting used to his new sister, he loves to give her hugs and kisses.  We are so blessed to have a healthy baby girl!  I think she looks just like Cole did, and she has one of Rob's dimples on her right cheek!  So cute!
