A Perfect '10'

Our tenth grandchild, Gabriella Lea Nelson made her appearance tonight at 10:48 pm. She weighs 7 lbs. 7 oz. and is 19 inches long. She is going to be called 'Ellie'. I think she looks like Abby, but her dad thinks she looks like Matt. And Kristl thinks she just has a look of her own. Anyway, she is beautiful! I cannot wait to hold her tomorrow. And I am just itching to go upstairs and wake up her brother and sister! But, I don't think I will, it is almost midnight and I would like to get some sleep tonight. More pictures to come.

Celebrating 36!!

Yesterday was our 36th wedding anniversary. We had a wonderful weekend celebrating! Saturday morning, we took off for Cane Beds. We rode the 4 wheeler from there to Mount Carmel, about 42 miles round trip. The weather was beautiful and the leaves looked like they were on fire.

We had such a fun ride!!

We even explored a haunted cave! Okay, it was just a water tunnel under the highway, but how interesting does that sound??

That night we had a delicious dinner at Wild Willie's Grill in Springdale. We spent the night at the Cliff Rose Lodge, thanks to a former classmate and friend of Robert's. Thanks Dale, your place is fabulous! We will tell everyone to go there.

Happy Halloween!

Is there anyone else out there that is as glad it's over, as I am? We took Logan to church yesterday and I thought we had mistakenly taken a baby kangaroo. He was everywhere! And he could not shut up for more than 3 or 4 seconds. Robert was about to take him home several times, but I kept thinking, "If we can just make it through Sacrament Meeting, then we can let the Primary deal with him." I did give them fair warning though. Anyway, you cannot beat these fun pictures.My friend Kristen rescued me and made these adorable costumes for my little grandsons. This is about the cutest elephant I have ever seen! And where would an elephant be without a..........

PEANUT!

This is our little Kolton. Kristen made up this pattern herself. Oh, and she had so much fun making these two costumes, she said that if anyone else would like, she would make them again. Hahaha! No way! Just kidding!

After our Trunk or Treat, we headed on over to Kelton and Amber's neighborhood for more candy.

Amber made both of her kids' costumes. This is Natalie and she is "Princess Peach" from Mario Kart. I wish I had gotten a better picture of her, she was sooooo cute!

Now, Drake, well it's obvious what he is, but this little boy marches to the beat of his own drum. Get the hat, lanyard and rubber fireman boots. He is such a corker!

And here is Dr. Kelton Hansen. Turn your head and cough?????

So, Happy Halloween everyone!!! We hope you all had as much fun as we did. And now, let's all start getting ready for Christmas. WooHoo!

NICU

Well this is not what we were expecting. Saturday morning, Kolton was put under bili lights for a high bilirubin. Very soon after, he was moved to the NICU because they discovered that he had an unknown infection. Kaley came home yesterday afternoon without her little son. Here are some pictures.

Binary Baby 10 01 10 11 11

He's here!! Kolton Kody Buhler made his appearance on Friday, Oct. 1, 2010 at 11:11 am. Weighing in at 8 lbs. 2 oz., he is 21 1/4 inches long. He is so cute! Of course he gets his looks from his mom's side of the family. Kaley had a pretty hard time bringing him into this world. They were considering doing a C-section but she was such a trooper. And after 16 hours of labor and 2 1/2 hours pushing, he finally arrived. We are so happy to have him, but we are sad that he can't come home today. He is in the nursery under the bili lights. So, hopefully, tomorrow. Isn't he adorable!?!?!
