IT'S A GIRL
So we went to the doctor last week and found out that our baby #2 is a girl!!! We are so excited. We were a little confused when my doctor was referring to the baby as a split tail. Surprising cause Shawn has a pretty dirty mind, and I my doctor does too. Any who we are so ecstatic that it's a girl. I can't wait to see her! I wanted to put the pic of the ultra sound on here but it wasn't the best picture of her. So I will next time. Now we need to start thinking of names! Ü

Warner in the snow

I took Warner outside to play in the snow the other day. For some reason he wasn't diggin it. He would cry if I put his hat on and if he fell in the snow. He didn't like his gloves to have snow on them. I'm sure he will like it the next time we have snow, hopefully there will be a lot more then there was here.

Grandpa Davis: 11/17/19 - 11/17/09

The day that the Kirkham twins were born was Shawn's grandpa's 90th birthday. But it just so happened that he died that same night. He had been in a rest home for a few months and going down hill so we knew this day was coming we just didn't think he would die on his birthday. He served in the army so he got a full military burial, it was pretty neat to see. They did the three gun salutes and played Taps. It was so special but made me cry even harder. Laurence was such a great man and grandpa. He is going to be missed very much.
Grandpa was a great farmer and took pride in working his land with his only son Larry. This was his tractor that one of his step grand kids rebuilt. He had it outside the church for everyone to see. He also drove it behind the hearse all the way to the graveside. It was really neat.

Ryker and Reed Kirkham 11/21/09

Kari and Randy had their twins on November 21st. She was only 35 weeks along so they were a little early. Ryker Scout Kirkham was born 1st and weighed 3lbs 14oz. Reed Stryker Kirkham was born 2nd at 4lbs 2oz. Ryker did ok but he couldn't keep his temp up due to him being so small so they had to keep him in the nursery in an incubator for a while. Reed wasn't doing as well, he had some air by his heart so he's in NICU so they can watch him more closely. I can't stand to see them hooked up to so many things. It makes me cry! I can't even imagine how hard this is on Kari and Randy. We only got to see them at certain times so I didn't get very many pics at the hospital.
Reed

They got to take Ryker home last night because he gained some weight and was able to keep his temp up. Hopefully they will get to bring Reed home soon. He now has an infection in his lower intestines that they are concerned about but I know that he will be healthy soon and get to be with his twin brother and family at home.

Ryker looked so tiny in his crib.

Shawn David Jackson

So this Halloween was the 10 year anniversary for our friend Shawn Jackson's death. I can't believe that it has already been 10 years that he has been gone. We sure do miss him. Jamie and I were able to sneak away for a bit to go up and visit his grave and bring him a little pumpkin on Halloween. My husband Shawn and Shawn Jackson were best friends since they were about 2 years old. They lived a few houses down from each other and they were inseparable all through Elm, Jr. High & High School. Jamie and Shawn Jackson dated during our Jr year in High School too. So we all had been close for a very long time. We just want Shawn to know how much we love and miss him!
