Who's who???

Baby #1
Baby #2

No one believes us when we tell them that Ash and Madison look quite a bit similar...those of you who know Ash well should be able to make a good guess which baby she is. Needless to say both girls are completely adorable:)

Sweet Cheeks:)

A few days ago I went to check on Ashley during her nap. I found a very wet diaper on the dresser, her pants on the bed and her sweet cheeks sleeping peacefully. She hadn't even wet the bed during her nap. when we woke her up she told us "diaper was soggy" so she just took it off! How do we get this idea to go forward into the princess potty??

Welcome Madison Avery!

What a chunk compared to Ashley!

Hello world

Right before the c-section

Well our sweet baby girl has arrived! Born March 24th at 8:10am. she weighed 7lbs and 11oz and is 21 inches. She is 2lbs heavier and 2 inches longer than Ashley was! No wonder this child could push on my insides so hard:) Deb has a tough time recovering from the surgery..she was sick to her stomach almost all day Tuesday. By Wednesday Deb was doing much better. We came home Saturday morning and we had a nice quiet weekend with Madison while Nana and Papa took care of Ashley. Poor Dave has to go back to work tomorrow...we will miss him terribly!

Funny Ashley

Tonight at dinner I said to Ash..."What would you like to drink?" Beer. " No Ash (chuckle, chuckle) what would you like to drink?" Coke. "No Ash...(third time's a charm) you can have milk, water or juice," Ashley, "Ok, water...nooooooo juice!"
What do you think Daddy has to drink at dinner???

Welcome baby Jax!

New Holt Family


Uncle Dakota, Mandy's brother

Aunt Raechel, Mandy's sister

This is the newest Augason family member. Jax Kyle Holt. 7 lbs 13 oz and 21 inches. He is the son of Mandy and Kyle Holt, Dave's niece and her husband. Jax will technically be a second cousin to Ashley...but more like a first since they will be so close in age:) Mandy went in Friday morning the 27th to be induced, had an epidural by 2pm and had the baby by 7pm after only pushing for 30 minutes! What a great experience for a first time Mommy! When we went to visit on Saturday she wasn't even taking any pain killers...just ibuprofen. Ashley was very gentle as she helped hold the "tiny baby" as she called him. She stroked his soft little head and was very careful not to touch his face except to give him a quick kiss. I think she'll be a great big sister:)

Baby News!

We are excited to finally have date scheduled for Deb's C-section. We will be having our second baby girl Tuesday March 24th at 7:30am. That way Deb can just wake up early and just go right in without starving for too long. We will be in the hospital until Saturday morning. We anticipate this delivery to go much smoother than the one with Ash, and we are very excited to meet our new little one:)

Disneyland

We had a fun week last week going to Disneyland for Papa's birthday. As you know Disney's promotion this year is getting in free on your birthday...and we took full advantage. Nana and Papa flew down with Ashley Tuesday morning and allowed Deb to fly alone in bliss by herself later that day after her Dr.'s appointment. We went to the park on Wednesday and couldn't have had more fun! The weather was 72 degrees and sunny! It was the middle of the week so there were virtually no lines...we rode everything we wanted to. Deb basically served as photographer for Nana and Papa so they could enjoy the rides with Ashley. While Ashley rested Nana and Papa rode the big kid rides....Thunder Mountain, Indiana Jones etc. My parents had a wonderful first visit to Disneyland with their first grandchild. Papa bought Ashley a cute Minnie Mouse backpack that she absolutely adores...we can't get it off her back! We look forward to a family trip we are planning to WDW in September 2009 during the free dining promo they run every year. During that trip we hope to have Dave, Craig ( Deb's Brother) and Ian ( Craig's boyfriend) join us:)
