He's Here!!!

Our little boy is finally here. Caleb Berry Ewell was born on April 6th at 7:50am, he was 18.5 inches and 7lbs. Everything went really well, even though my doctor about passed out during the c-section. Don't worry Brent caught him and helped him sit down before he hit the floor. He was able to recover and close. Through all the wiggling around during the last 9 months Caleb managed to wrap the cord around his neck a few times, so we where very glad that we were having a planned c-section. Everything was going well until the day before we were going to go home and his heart rate dropped for a minute and everyone panicked and almost rushed him to the NICU, but they all calmed down and they just put him on some antibiotics for a few days. I forgot to mention that He did spend and few hours in the NICU right after he was born for some breathing treatments that he didn't even need. (we're still not happy about that!) He was able to come home happy and healthy as can be on Saturday afternoon. A few days later we got a call from our pediatrician and Caleb's PKU test came back abnormal on his thyroid levels. So we had to get more blood work done, but all the results came back good. Everything is good now.

The Big Brothers!!

(Kyler didn't want to share his new little brother with anyone)

I am so glad that my parents and Brent's parents were there to take care of my kids while we were at the hospital. My mom even came and helped me out the next week when I came home. I am so glad she was there to help me out with the kids.

Ice Fishing

With the snow falling here in April I thought I would get around to posting pictures of my boys going ice fishing. My oldest had a blast when him and his dad and a friend entered a hunting and fishing contest. They made a long trek to the ice covered pond to fish and shot bunnies of the ice. They had a great time, gone all day, and catching some pretty big fish. When the day was over they packed up to head in for check-in. But instead of making it in on time to weigh in their fish, they got stuck for about 3 hours with no cell service. But through Prayer and Faith, their old toothless angle came and pulled them out. They missed check-in and was a little disappointed because Carter would have won the biggest fish of the day!

Well that didn't damper their spirits because the next week they went out again, different spot this time, and they even took my youngest. They all had a ball. And yes my biggest fear came true, my youngest fell into an ice fishing hole. Only one foot made it in the water, but it scared him pretty good. (Yes, my husband did leave the two boys alone at the time, the 7 year old in charge while he went to take care of something in the trees.) But in his defence his cousin (an adult) was right there to keep an eye on the two. Everyone seem to have a great time.
