Deeken Is TWO!

Deeken's birth was amazing! It is my favorite of all my birth's. It was 11 o'clock at night, the hospital was so quiet. I only had to push a few times, and he was here. It was awesome and amazing, and he was beautiful. My doctor, Drea Olmstead was awesome. She always prays with her patient's after. We thought it might be a little weird, but it was awesome. She understands that in our religion it is usually the male who leads these kind of things, so she asked John if he wanted to pray, and John told her to go ahead. She was sweet, and humble. It was amazing! I love these pictures of the kids above. Especially the one just above. It is so a "Welcome to the family" picture. They loved him immediately and obviously got jealous when they couldn't be the one holding him. He was a Great baby and is such a wonderful BIG Boy now.

If you don't know Deeken personally, you are missing out on one of thee most adorable, awesome, amazing kids in the whole world. He has more facial expressions than anyone I have ever met. He is a very expressive kid. Emotion seeps from every facet of his body. When he gets excited, every muscle in his body tightens and shows his excitement. When he laughs his whole body shakes, and when he is sad he is like a weeping willow. He makes my day, when he states the obvious. He will point to you, "SAD," or "HAPPY," depending on your emotion. His sentences are very choppy and yet poignant. He makes everyone smile when he talks, when he laughs, when he is just in the room.

I love you Deeken!

Happy 2nd Birthday Slim!
