Baby Bean

Our sweet little boy was born yesterday afternoon.  He weighed 7 lbs 11 oz and is 19 inches long.  He is such a sweet baby.  He actually decided he wanted to come on his own rather than be induced, so we went in to the hospital a couple hours ahead of schedule.  We certainly love our newest little Rockwood!

Summer Update

Meg and Brinn just finished up swimming lessons this last week, and had a ball.  They are both little fish who would love to be in the water everyday.  Dave has started running with his cross country team for summer training.  We took them on a trail run to the hot pots in Diamond Fork.  I did get to go with them, I just hiked instead of ran.  It was a lot of fun.  A couple of days after that we took the YM and YW from our ward on the same hike.  I love being out in the mountains.  Everyone kept saying that the hiking was a bad idea and would put me in to labor.  I thought that was a great idea, but it didn't work either time.  But, tomorrow is the day.  The doctor decided to induce me, so we are going in bright and early tomorrow to have a baby!  We are excited to meet our little guy. :)

The Finished Product!

Becky came over this afternoon and we finished the float!  We are very excited to see it in the parade on Friday, even though we probably went way over the top for what usually happens at this parade. :)

Summer Update

Since school has been out, I haven't had as much free time, so here is a brief update.  May 27th I walked out of Timpview never to return...as a teacher at least.  I might go back to visit my wonderful co-workers. It was harder than I anticipated it being.  I had a great 4 years there and learned a lot.  Now onto a different occupation, trying to be a mom.

Four days after school got out, Dave left for 5 days for a the Great Southwest Track meet, where he is the head coach for Team Utah.  This had consumed our lives for the weeks preceding.  As his secretary, I had been emailing/calling about a hundred different athletes, getting everyone registered, and dealing with the finances for the bus, hotels, etc.  It was crazy, but in the end it all came together and we had enough money to pay the bills.  The athletes had a great time, and the boys team even placed 3rd overall.  I had to stay home, though... :( Too close to my due date, and too far to drive in a bus at 8 months pregnant.  The girls and I had a good time, though.  We started building our float for the upcoming parade and then took a short trip to St. George to watch Tuacahns production of The Little Mermaid.  It was AMAZING!  Anyone who has the chance, should go and see it.  We loved it!

We have also had a lot of performances in our family.  Brinn had her dance recital (Dave had the camera in New Mexico, so no pics), and then Meg had her piano recital.  They both did a fantastic job.

Yesterday, the one day Dave was home before he had to leave again for a scout trip, we got our cupboards built downstairs.  This meant that this morning the girls and I could move the last of the toys from what was the playroom, downstairs.  Then we got to put everything up in what is now the nursery.  We had a great time going through all of the cute things we have for Bean.  The girls played with his toys for a good 45 minutes.  At least we know they will successfully entertain someone.

Life is good.

Kindergarten Graduation

Last night Brinn graduated from kindergarten at Cherry Creek Elementary.  They performed a cute little program.  Each child had a little speaking part and then the class sang a bunch of the little songs they learned throughout the year.  They even played "Pomp and Circumstance" as they walked onto the stage.  Cute performance...even if graduating from kindergarten is a silly idea.
