One Day Old

LDS Hospital has a professional photograher come around and take pics of your family. Todd was less than 30hrs old when he posed for these, and so precious!

Introducing Todd King Hawkes

Todd was due the 10th of July but he had everyone wondering if he would be a fourth of July baby like his Mom and sister. We checked into the hospital at 7pm on the 4th but Todd really wanted a day all his own, so he waited until 1:30am on the 5th. He weighed 7lbs 4 oz and was 19in long.

We really love Todd, especially Josie. Everyday she has her moments of loving and holding him. She tells him all the things she wants to teach him like how to talk and ride a bike. She also loves to tell him stories about Josie and Todd and their adventures. he has fit right into our little family perfectly.

4th of July

We did almost all of our Independence Day and Birthday celebrating early.

But we did save Josie one present to give her on her actual birthday and she was so excited about it.

Here she is closing her eyes while Joe brings it in

And her squeal of delight when she saw her new bike

She had lots of love to give while she and Dad put her bike together.

She couldn't wait so we all went out for a while. This was just hours before Joe and I headed to the hospital!

I also got a few presents that day from Joe, a ruby necklace, racketball equipment and of course baby Todd!

This picture is actually from the day before, the 3rd. Josie fell asleep on my belly, it was super cute!
