Introducing Katelyn!!

Well she is finally here! Katelyn Brooke Gunnell was born November 13th at 1:00 AM. She was 6 pounds and 15 1/2 oz and 20 inches long.
We went to the hospital to be induced around 12:45 am on November 12th. I got an epidural around 10 AM, but my contractions never normalized and it was slow going. I thought the baby would never get here. Finally, a full 24 hours after I got to the hospital, she made her appearance. I guess inducement doesnt always go so fast or smooth. She is my smallest baby, but my longest labor. But she is here! Whew. It feels so great to not be pregnant anymore!
So far she has been a pretty good baby. Its always a little rough in the beginning, but she is just so precious and cute. We are just loving her. Elizabeth just cant keep her hands off of her. Nathan will come about 10 inches away from here and blow her a kiss, but wont touch her or anything. He is still not sure about this baby girl. Tanner is just interested in everything she does and just watches her.
So here are some pics!

Long time no write.....

Well it has been a couple of months since I have written. Sorry about that. Things are going good! The kids love school. Tanner is doing well in his speech therapy and really likes his class. I just wish he could be a little more sure of himself and assertive. I know I know.... he's only 4. :)
Elizabeth loves her teacher, first grade was an adjustment. She kept saying they just work all day long. But I think she is finally into the swing of things.
Nathan is doing good and starting to be a real handful. He is tall enough now to climb onto kitchen chairs and then onto the kitchen table. He loves getting into the toilet and splashing as much as possible. Typical 18 month old I guess. He is still cute though. He just started nursery as well and I am so excited!!!
We have a new ward. Our wards split from 2 to 3! We are excited about it. Glen is still the Elders Quorum president and I was just called to be enrichment leader (although I wont be doing much for the rest of this year!!)
We are on countdown for #4. So hopefully in a few weeks I will have new pictures to post and more to write about!!
Till then!.............

AZ trip

Our next stop was Grandma and Grandpa Johnsons! They just got off their mission from Hawaii! My dad was serving as head maintenance for the Polynesian Cultural Center and my mom served at BYU-Hawaii. My mom came home on the 15th and my dad followed a week later. The kids had a blast!
There were slumber parties, hula dancing (with the clothes that grandma made!), learning how to play with poi poi balls, making a playhouse, swimming and gardening with grandpa. Tons of fun for everyone! We miss all of our family in AZ!

AZ trip 2

4th of July was a lot of fun with fireworks, homeade ice cream and fun games with granny! Granny made the pinata! The kids had a blast!

AZ trip -

Well we are back after a month in AZ! It was a lot of fun! Our first stop was the ranch in Pinedale. We spent almost 2 full weeks playing at the cabin, riding atv's, playing games and having fun. The kids especially loved playing with their cousins and loved exploring. There were days that Tanner and Elizabeth didnt come home for hours! Basically they showed up when they were hungry!:) They made forts and had tons of fun. We also went to the look-out tower, but it was closed. But we caught a lizard and horny toad! There was no shortage of catching those at the ranch!

Its..going....to......be.....a..........

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everything looked great! I am 19 weeks along and the baby looks good. :) We are very excited!!

Busy Week!

Well this is going to be a busy and exciting week!
Tuesday we are finding out what we are having so we are praying the baby will cooperate! Will it be a boy or girl???
Thursday I have a doctors appointment, packing, and having a girls nite out to say goodbye to one of my dearest friends Natalie Messick. I am so sad you are leaving but I know you will do great in Singapore!! Thank goodness for email and phones. I will miss you!
Friday we go to AZ!! The kids just cant talk about it enough. They are counting down the days. We are going to the ranch on Saturday for a week and a half. My parents get home from their mission from Hawaii July 15th, and we cant wait! So this will be an extended trip for me. Not for Glen. Somehow he timed it so he would be home just before he got to see the inlaws. Just kidding. He didnt really plan it to be that way, he just needs to save vacation time for when the baby comes!
Congrats to Shallan and Randy on their new addition to their family! She is so adorable! I am excited for you guys! You will have to let me know what its like to have 4 kids!! ;) Will I survive??
Anyway, thats it for now!! I will write on Tuesday and let you know which it will be!!
