meeting big brother and sis

Our new family. So crazy to think I have 3 kids now! Am I ready for this?


It was so fun to have the kids come meet Mckinley. They immediately fell in love and have been fighting over holding her ever since. Brennon will sit and hold her for 20 minutes and I was sure he would get sick of it after 1 or 2 minutes. It makes them look so big and I can't believe how fast it goes. I just feel blessed to have another little one to cuddle again.

Our ray of sunshine on a snowy day in Texas












We are so excited that Mckinley Grace Alva is finally here. We came to the hospital to be induced at 5am this morning and started the pitocin at 6am. After about 6 1/2 hours of labor, she almost came shooting out and I didn't even really have to push. She was born at 12:45pm and She weighed in at 7 lbs exactly and is 19 1/2 inches long (Matt guessed 19 and I guessed 20 inches). Mom and baby are feeling fabulous and we are so excited for her to meet her siblings. Right now it is snowing like crazy and it is fun that she was born in a snowstorm in Texas. We will keep you all updated and are happy to add a beautiful girl to our family!
Our family is always up for a great adventure and we are all kids at heart, so we wanted to share our adventures and moments with you! Enjoy!
