Matt and Angie went to feed the baby tonight and here is the latest picture! I love these two boys! Lucky me!

More of our Miracle Max!

Max has been surprising everyone at the NICU! He is up to 54cc's in 20 minutes! So they have upped him to 4 mom feedings a day! What a little champ! They hope he will be able to come home by the weekend! We are so grateful for all the prayers and thoughts in his behalf! What a miracle baby he is! Right from the very start!

Looking around and checking everything out!

Maxwell Hal Marchbanks Arrives!

Maxwell Hal Marchbanks arrived on Tuesday January 4th at 10:13 AM! He weighed 5lbs 4 oz and was 18 1/2" long! Matt and Angie and all of us have been waiting for him for 9 long years! What a blessing he is!
This beautiful baby boy arrived 3 weeks early by C-section and he was breech! He had a bit of problem breathing at first but he is doing great now! His body temp is staying up! He is having a bit of a time learning to eat and the doctor thinks it will take about a week to get him ready to go home! Our Angie is such a champ! She arrived at the hospital not sure she was in labor..dialated to an 8. They had to really rush to get him delivered! Way to go Ang! We love you!

Sadie is a proud sister!

Baby Maxwell!

Something I LOVE!

We are a "shoeless" home... when the kids come over the first thing they do is kick off their shoes and throw them in the basket in the front hall! This mess makes me so happy because it means my kids and grandkids are HOME! Sometimes there are so many shoes that you can hardly walk through the front hall! All the better for ME!

New Year's Eve 2010

New Year's Eve was so fun! We spent it at Nate and Jenny's with almost all of our family and some of Nate's! It was a fun night with lots of yummy food ~ Good company and fun games! We all welcomed the New Year in loudly and with lots of excitement! The little kids loved it and it was really fun!

Jenny's beautiful yummy table ...

The Chocolate Fountain is always a HIT!

I loved watching the kids try to reach! They all found a way!

Ryan and Millie

That fountain had some problems... flowing really crooked and slow! But it was still tasty!

Pirate Island Pizza

Pirate Island Pizza opened in Orem a while ago and we finally made it there. It was decent food...but such a fun atmosphere. Matt sang Karoke and smoked everyone! It was pretty fun to watch the little girls up there watching him! They were so cute! His little groupies! We had alot of fun in the game room and won a ton of tickets! It was a fun family evening! We loved it!
