Easter


The easter bunny always leaves a trail at our house from our bedroom to a present. Robert and I each got a new book. And Pepper got her first doll. And we got a jogging stroller to share! Easter was Peppers first time going to church. We only stayed for sacrament meeting (she is only 4 weeks). But it was nice to go.

BROK


My cousin Brok was visiting Utah, from Auburn Washington. We spent the afternoon visiting with him. Probably bored him to death with all of our talking... but hey Heather and I enjoyed it!

While the family was in town...




While the family was in town we (Pic. #1) watched conference (Pic. #2) relaxed (Pic. #3) went swimming at the orem rec center (Pic. #4) hiked the Y. Robert carried Pepper. I carried myself, which was strenous enough for me.

Jump On It


It is Tanner's spring break, so my family decided to visit us here in Utah. Autumn also joined us from Rexburg. For family home evening monday night we went to a trampoline place called "Jump On It". P.S. bouncing may not be the best idea for those who had a baby 2 weeks ago. Your pants might not be dry at the end of the night.

COUSINS


Heather, Korver, Pepper & I spend a lot of time together, now that we are all home during the day.

Grandma Left

My mom came down for Pepper's birth. Unfortunatly Pepper came 9 days late so my mom spent her first week here deep cleaning the house and organizing. She also did the grocery shopping and cooking. She was so much help! Once Pepper was born she stayed up with her at night... while I slept peacefully (except when she needed fed). We will have to try and survive without her now because she headed back to Washington this morning.

This Week...

Pepper peacefully sleeping. Pretty in pink.
Peppers Grandpa & Grandma Paxman and Great Grandpa & Grandma Paxman were able to visit. This is a 4 generation picture. I am sad Robert was at work when we took it.

Playing games with the Paxman side of the family.

More at the hospital...


I just wanted to add a couple pictures I got from my mom's camera. First with my two sisters. And then Autumn with her niece and nephew.

Pepper Lyn

It's a girl! Pepper was born at 3:34am Monday, March 16th 2009. Pepper was posterior and had some problems keeping a strong heartbeat (the doctor thought she may have the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck), but as soon as the doctor was able to turn her with the forceps, she came out alright.
8 pounds 7 ounces. 21 inches long. And adorable.

Grandma Vicki's first two grandchildren. She is here as well. I need to borrow her camera to get her pictures off of it.
Sarah & David came to visit us in the hospital. Heather was there as well. So they held both Korver and Pepper.
Sarah made Pepper's "Birth Day Cake". It says her PLS on top, for Pepper Lyn Salmon.

Both Kayden and Hailey seemed unsure about the new baby. Spencer had to hold them in the picture, they were trying to get away.
Robert stayed with me through both nights in the hospital. He was so much help! Although we both had a hard time keeping our eyes open by the end of day 2.
Pepper wore green pants on her way home from the hospital, for St. Patrick's day.

Walking Does Not Work...




My mother came in town on March 7th. Which yes... was my due date. It is now March 14th and I still have no signs of labor pains. Mother and Heather have been making me walk all week. I was getting tierd of walking without progress, so they had to think of creative ways to get me out and about. So we went to the zoo. The elephant in the middle picture is pregnant and due this summer. Elephants are pregnant 22-24 months so I wanted to get a picture by her because she knows how I feel. Although I will clarify... I am very happy that I am able to be pregnant.
