Mom's turn at Bow Zone

Our favorite Archery shop let's us try out the new Mathews bows. This baby here is the new "Jewel" priced right for serious archers at $1,000.00, and it shoots like it's worth. Dale and the kids were so proud of me. I won't be so hard on Gavin now, it's not as easy as it seems.


This was my 1st try ever at 20 yards, believe me, I was proud I even hit the paper!

Cannery Truck Tales



Pictures for Gavin of his dad driving the church welfare truck [he always wants to go along, so I took this picture from the passanger seat when I went]. 
 and Gavin's "dream car", green/lifted/monster tires/truck/muddy.... just about everything he would want in a vehicle.

Go cart racing


They came in 2nd, only because Dale taught Gavin to be courteous by not ramming the guy in the wall that wouldn't move over. ; )

The boys put on their cowboy face and the girls just looked pretty all dressed up.
We do this in San Antonio, across the street from the Alamo every time we visit there. It's good ol' fasion fun for everyone.

8 weeks old today - 12/6/12





My sweet good baby Duncan. I don't know exactly how much he weighs now, but he stretches out 0-3m clothes, and has been fitting comfortably in 3-6m size for a week, and exchanged all size 1 diapers for size 2 to fit his cute bum, so I guess he's about 12 lbs. Still loves to eat and smile wide open toothless grins at us, and always happy when I'm holding him, which is nice to be wanted to cuddle.

Our New Baby Boy - 10/11/12


Duncan Hyrum Berg
-
 Thursday 10/11/12  @ 1:49 a.m.
7 lbs. 8.6 oz  -  20" long
-
 He was crying "hungry" from second 3, and once he got Dale's finger he would NOT let go!
 One of his few times sleeping alone. He wanted to eat almost every hour from time of birth, so he and I had lots of close snuggle time from the very start.
 Gavin was too excited to go to sleep the night before, and is so happy to finally get his prayer answered of having his baby brother come out of mommy's tummy soon. He keeps saying "Duncan is so tiny and so cute!". He wants him to sleep in his bed with him, but I said he'll have to wait to share a room for 1 1/2 - 2yrs.
 The first thing Linnaea said was "I want to hold my baby".
Every Dr. apt. we went to she'd ask "baby come out your pummy? I hold baby?". I'd tell her "Not yet". She always says "I love you baby. Nosies" and rubs noses. Today she was singing "Jesus looooves you". So sweet.
Having babies is the best thing in the world. I love all three of mine so much, I want to keep them forever.
I'm so grateful I have a chance to because of the temple. I feel so blessed and happy, that's a good feeling.
