This was taken when Grandma Nikki flew down from Utah to help mom out and visit with the grandkids (week of Sept. 23, 2008).

Here are some pics of the kids from a month ago.

Indy recently learned the best way to get everyone's attention is to use the "shock & awe" maneuver. So, here it is! He inserts both fingers into his nose. Typical boy thing to do.

I have added a few candid pictures of the kids here. One is of Ren enjoying his 14 yr. birthday cake. Another is of Indy proudly posing with his little brother, Bear.

A new addition to the family

There is no time like the present to get my blog up to date, right? There couldn't be a better reason to start either with the new addition to our family. For all those who haven't heard yet, our latest and LAST baby was born on August 15, 2008 via c-section. We named him Bear Hobbs. He weighed in at 8 lbs 4 oz and 21 3/4" long. Here I have posted a picture of Bear a day old.

We are currently waiting for our family Christmas pictures to come in then I plan to post them. Bear is three months old in these Christmas pictures taken this past Friday (11-14-2008). Stay tuned for more pictures. Maybe one day I'll be as good about blogging as my sisters Jenn and Alicia are.
