Nevi Is Here

Marky & Dan's baby Nevi was born tonight around 9pm. She is a perfect baby girl. 8lbs 1oz, 20.5" and cute as can be. It was so cute to see Dan talk to her and see how she looked at him. Marky looked so good after, I hope I look good after delivering a baby. I'm so happy for them and I'm thankful they are both healthy and well. It's so cool that she was born on her actual due date, that never happens. I'm excited to go to the hospital tomorrow so that I can actually hold her.
Tomorrow I have local anesthetic boards, hopefully I pass. We'll see tomorrow. I feel good and prepared, hopefully all that studying pays off.

Bowling Bonanza

We went out to dinner at Eastern Winds to celebrate everyone's birthdays: Nick in January, Joni, Dave, Dan, and Marky in February, and Brittany and Becky in March. Then we went bowling at Hill Top. We had so much fun just hanging out with the fam. We need to do more fun family activities like this. My favorite part about bowling was hanging out with my cute little nephew Owen. He kept saying, "I'm a winner," as he watched people bowl. I let him help me bowl and after he bowled he would jump up and down with his arms in the air just like he had seen his aunts and uncles do. He is so cute. Thanks Kirk and Becky for the good times!! This picture of Owen and I was taken at Sea World in August 2007.

Our Cute New Nephew

Charlie is so so cute!! I've never even met the kid, but I already love him so much! The 1st pic I saw looked like a James, but now he definitely looks like an Erekson with those cute dark eyes. I can't wait to go to San Fran to see him.
I should be studying for Local Anesthetic boards right now since they are in 3 days, but I feel pretty ready for the test, so I'm going to try and enjoy my last spring break ever. Thank goodness for graduation!

Happy Leap Day!!

Dave's in Mesquite on the annual guys only golf trip, so needless to say, I miss the guy. I had fun today hanging out with Christy, Tesha, and Masen. Masen is so cute, I love him so much. He told us about how he slammed his finger in the car door and then he showed us how he cried (he totally acted it out), then he started laughing his head off. It was so cute.
Charlie is due today which would have been awesome since it is Leap Day, but as Christy puts it "He's still cooking." I'm excited to have a new nephew.

Dave's 26th B-day Party!!
