Courtney’s birth story

29 Dec 2009 by Emily

birthCourtney Ann made a grand entrance on 12/24 @ 7pm weighing 7.12 and 20in. When I went to the Dr on Wed, 12/23, and he said I wasn’t dialated at all so I decided we should go to Walnut Creek to spend Christmas Eve with Scotts family….bad idea! I started having mild contractions at 3pm, left the Creek about 4:45. We made it as far as Vacaville when we hit traffic and decided we better find a hospital because I might not make it to Woodland. We then quickly drove to the first hospital we could find only to be sent back to Fairfield since Vacaville doesn’t have a hospital with labor and delivery. I was checked in to Fairfield at 6pm, here I delivered our little Christmas baby at 7pm, ALL NATURAL since there wasn’t time for the epidural. It was a crazy delivery but we are all doing great! I did scare the crap out of Scott though, if he wasn’t sure about this being our last I think he is now!

Happy Christmas Eve

26 Dec 2009 by Scott

P1000043Welcome Courtney!  Baby Courtney was born at 7pm on Christmas Eve weighing 7lbs 12oz and was 20inch long.  We have quite a story to tell about her birth.  For example why was she not born in Woodland like we planned.  Why were we turn away from a hospital?  Maybe we’ll post that story.

8335 LED Lights on One House

20 Dec 2009 by Scott

IMG_5172Thats right the total for this year is more than double last year.  We added 30 boxes of twinkling net lights to the lawn bringing the new total 8335 lights.  The great thing about these lights are they only use a total 425 watts which comes out to about 11 cents ever 2 hours.  To put things into perspective our Christmas tree with 300 standard lights uses 305 watts.

Santa Clause is coming to Rocklin?

15 Dec 2009 by Scott

LucasSanta visits Rocklin again.  He is greeted with three more kids this year.  The triplets to be exact.  Like last year Austin got up there and showed everyone how it was done.  Kaitlyn followed soon after and wanted nothing to do with the man in red.  Sydney and Lucas also wanted nothing to do with him while the triplets who didn’t know better sat and pulled at his beard.  All of them got a present from Santa so they were happy.  We snapped a handful of good pictures.  Sadly everyone had a camera so each kid was looking at a different one for the group shots.  Maybe next year we will be more organized.
