BOONDOCKS!

We had the privilege of having Brocks parents stay with us last weekend and so we decided to take the family to Boondocks, a fun center with tons of arcades, golf, go-carting, and much more. We've been before but the kids weren't old enough to really enjoy it. Our good friends, Jeff and Jamie, also came and we had a blast!

Can you tell who scored???

This is Grandma and Kiera waiting for lunch, which was quite the wait. We had put in our order and then waited and waited and waited and after 45min. I went to see what was taking so long. They gave our order to one of the party groups and forgot all about us! With 7 hungry kids all 4yrs. and under this was just not acceptable so grandpa made sure we got some extra fry baskets (Thanks grandpa). Another 10min. later we got our yummy pizza. Luckily the guys were able to keep the kids occupied with games for most of the wait.



Matthew and Kayla racing on the go-carts. My camera died right before Kiera and Ashley had their turn so I can't post any pictures of them. We also enjoyed the fast track on the big go-carts and the bumper boats, me and Kiera got soaked but it was so much fun! Thank you Grandma, Grandpa, Jeff, and Jamie for a fun day!

The Girls


I thought I'd add a photo of our girls. Ella is first on the left, then Kiera is in the middle, and Kayla on the right end. Sadly we don't have a family picture so as soon as we get one I'll be sure to post it!

It's a BOY!


We did it! On July 25, 2008 we had a baby boy. His name is Joshua Park Brockbank. He weighed in at 8lbs 8oz and 20 inches long. Having had 3 girls previous to this event I was not quite prepared to see boy, despite the many warnings we had recieved from friends and family. I am absolutely in love with him and I admire all the differences he brings apart from my girls. I always made fun of the "mamas boy" and now I have one and I never want it to change. Our girls are adjusting suprisingly well. My only fear is that they will love him to death....literally!

FINALLY!!!

After a long and gruelling 4 1/2 years of pregnancy and postpartum I have finally managed to set up a blog. I'm sure it will be a slow start but hopefully once I figure it out you will all be able to enjoy our posts and pics.
