Back in Time II

Here are some Pics of Ben and Amanda when they came to visit after Declan and Aiden were born. Declan and Aiden are only ten days apart. We hoped that would make them built in friends and it has, they are best friends :)

In this pic I am holding Aiden and Kels has Declan proud Aunts

I love how both of them are straining not to lose sight of their mothers

We went to Spaghetti Factory that night so we could visit Dan while he was working

Declan loved to swing and rock (still does)

The things we do for Randy Jones. When the boys were still only months old they took their first flight to Sacramento so my Dad could get some generational photos. Grandma Ruth is no longer with us and it turned out to be lots of fun showing these guys off to all the family but I remember Kels and I were pretty nervous.

Passed out on Liz's leopard bed, love it

Here are just some sweet pics of Declan...

Back in Time

I did not start this blog until 2009 and Declan asked me where his baby pictures were and I had to go bust out the DVD's for him. I decided I would do a couple of back in time posts so that Declan's beginnings are also blogged. I decided to start with my shower my mom threw it and she did an amazing job. 

I was 8 months pregnant when Ben got married and had false labor contractions while I was there. We were all a little panicked but we kept it under wraps until after the wedding.

Declan was breech and all the ultrasounds I had made it look like he was going to be huge so they advised me to not to try and turn him. Declan Reilly Goodale was born via c-section on June 23, 2006 at 8:09am 7lbs 9oz and 19 inches not huge but perfectly healthy. 

I love when they do the running in circles. Adalae always ends up in the front even though her little legs are going as fast as they can. So cute :)

Moving up

Declan tested early since we were going to miss the testing but here is the ceremony were they all got their new belts...

Then they worked on their skills usually we are watching from outside the room (so we don't distract the kids) so it was fun to get some pics inside.
