The Starks Family

Welcome Baby Leila Grace!

Last saturday I threw April a big baby shower in anticipation for her little girl to join our family at the end of the month. 2 hours before it started she called me to tell me her water broke and she was in labor 3 weeks early! Oh boy! She came to the shower, which came to a halt every 5 min for each contraction. Leila was just too anxious to meet her mommy to wait any longer. Leila was born at 12:25 am weighing 6lbs 7oz and 19 inches long. Thanks April for letting me hold your leg and be a part of her birth!

I was worried about her being so early, but she was perfect minus a bit of jaundice. She only stayed one extra day after mom. Welcome to our huge family Leila Grace Foutz!

I love pictures of baby and Daddy together! She curled up into a little ball and started snoring! She is so cute!

We did family pictures with all of Scott's family a couple weeks ago. We didn't really get any good ones of the 4 of us because Jackson chose that time to throw a fit. It was hard to pick a few of my favorites, so here's a ton of my favorites.

I bet you didn't know he could fly?!

I just love her little teeth.

This was 30 seconds before he pushed her off the bench.

So I found this geek quiz and here's my results:

57% Geek

And then I thought, before Scott I wasn't nearly as nerdy. So I took the quiz from what I knew before we were together and I thought the results were hilarious.

So I hear it all the time how I look so young. I got so many dirty looks when I was prego, like some slutty knocked up teenager. I saw these pics taken right after each kid was born and laughed. I looked like a 12 year old! So I can barely pass for 18 right now. People tell me I'll love it when I'm older.

Me and Jackson

Me and Lily

2 years difference, yet I look like I hardly aged at all.

Boys will be boys!

Last night Jackson stuck his finger up his nose and then shoved it in my face and says "Eww booger!" Boy am I glad nothing was there, but I laughed so hard! I didn't even know he knew that word. That kid cracks me up with the things he says.

We're going to see Mickey!

Disneyland here we come! We're going to Disneyland in 3 days and I can't wait. I haven't been in 12 years so I haven't seen Downtown Disney or California Adventure. Thank goodness for grandparents that don't like rides! They will help watch the kids while we go on the rides. Jackson is going to have so much fun, he's never been on a kids ride so it will be interesting. We're gonna be able to visit with Rob and Ann for a little while too so that will be fun.

I heart Twilight!

So I found out that Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince movie got moved to July 17 2009 instead of November and I was really bummed. Then I found out this morning that Twilight has swept in for the November 21st time slot! That's 3 weeks earlier! I'm sooo excited! We're totally going to the midnight release. Here's a video of the trailer. Enjoy!

So I decided my family is pretty boring. I just wanted to have an easy way to post pics to people. I thought I'd start with some of my favorite old pictures to show you what's happened in the 4.5 years we've been married.

I love this man!

Sadly I still had 2 months to go! I was so huge!

Jackson a few hours old. I love how gangster he looks.

It's amazing how messy a baby cookie can be!

Don't touch! Jackson's first slide. I was so scared to touch him and hurt him. I went for the knee since that seemed less painful than his arm.

This is my favorite picture of the two boys. Jackson loves music, especially the guitar. The other night I heard him in the other room strumming the guitar and singing a song. So cute!

Thanks to my friend Julie we found a good place to do the 3D/4D ultrasound for Lily. The dr was only 85% sure she was a girl and I needed to know for sure. The pictures were so cool. I love how you can see every detail of her face and hands. I totally recommend the 3D for anyone who has a little extra cash.

Despite doctor's prediction Lily was born much smaller than we thought. She was only 6 lbs 5 oz where as Jackson came at 7 lbs 15 oz. You can see how tiny she was compared to April's hand.

Lily already giving a little attitude. I wonder where she gets that from?

That's it for pictures for now. We have a trip to Disneyland coming up and we'll be doing family pictures soon so I will post those too.
