Fun times...

We had some fun and exciting things happen while we were in California......

Probably the most exciting was that we added another cousin to the fam. Cassidy Ann Jones was born on May 31!!! It was so great to be able to be there (not in the room) at the hospital when she was born. She is adorable and Claire already loves her....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHLOE!!!!
Cassidy decided to make life crazy for us by coming on the same day of Chloe's birthday party! Lindsey basicaly had 2 due dates....Either May 25th or June 2nd. We hung around all week waiting, expecting her to go into labor, but nothing! Finally on Saturday, the 31st, Lindsey called just before 8:00 am and said she thought she was in labor...of all days, she had to wait til Chloe's party day! I planned the party for 2pm so I'd have all morning to get things ready and not stress, but Cassidy had another plan I guess. I did some things, the went to the hospital around 11:15 or so and within 15 minutes of when I got there, she was ready to push. I can't remember the exact time she was born, I think just after noon. So I got to see her, then rush to Costco to pick up the cake (yeah, I got lazy again!) and to Walmart for forks and Sherbet for the punch. I made it back just in time and thanks to Allyson, Grandma, Jeff (he did a great job decorating while I was gone!), and Tim for helping everything went great and we had lots of fun swimming and chatting with friends and family!!!

Some other exciting news is that Chloe lost her first tooth!! It was just barely loose a couple days before that, but her sweet little brother helped her out by bonking the back of his head into her tooth and then it was really loose. She was playing with it and pushed it back and couldn't get it back into place. Then we were eating tacos for her birthday dinner and it fell out and luckily she didn't swallow it. Pretty cool that she lost her first tooth on her 6th birthday!

More pictures to come...I know it's a lot but we just had so much fun!!!
