Ammon



Here are a few pictures of our latest addition. He is getting big too fast!!!

Visitors Center










Well... we actually made it out of the house to do something as a family for once! We went to the Visitors Center in Independence. It was a warm sunny day so we sat in the grass and had a picnic. Gabe played in a tree and the girls soaked up the sunshine. We enjoyed the information and the pictorial depiction of the Saviors life. Then the kids had a good time playing around in the mini pioneer village. It was nice to get out of the house and go somewhere. I hope as Ammon gets bigger 'outtings' will be more frequent. I tried taking the kids to the park in Galliton a little while ago but Ammon was not having it. So here we sit. Ah well- here are some pictures.

A few more pictures of our little one!

Our new little one!

Ammon Richard Wilcox has joined our family!!!
Ammon was born on Friday- June 19, 2009 at 3:18pm. He weighed 6 pounds 9 ounces and was 19 inches long. We had few complications and thanks to a GREAT Dr. who listened to his 'gut feeling' we were able to be induced and get Ammon here safely. He is a sweet little guy- long and skinny like his dad- with the longest skinniest toes I have ever seen! We are so glad that he has joined our little 'brood'. Mommy is especially happy that he is here and that she is not sick all of the time anymore! The kids love having him around- Gabe tells everyone that he loves 'baby Ammon- hims my best friend'. The girls spend a good deal of their time arguing over who gets to hold him next. come to think of it- some days Daddy has to put his foot down and insist on getting a turn. Thank goodness for older helpful daughters- I swear they are the only reason that I get a shower some days!!! Anyway... our little one is here and we are all doing great! I will try and get on a schedule and update more often.
