The Arrival of Baby Zachary

Zachary William Snelders was born Monday morning at 2:34 am. He weighed in at 6 lb 14 oz and has dark hair. Everyone is doing very well. Thanks to our great nurse & cousin -- Wendy for helping us get submitted, getting things moved along, and making sure we were taken care of. I'm sure Natalie will want to tell the story of the evening/morning so I'll leave that post to her for another day. We are so happy and thankful to get baby Z here!

Nate and Britt passed out after a very busy vacation.

Look at that smile! Life is pretty good I think.

Wow, thats all I have to say!

While we are waiting....

While we are waiting for Baby Snelders to arrive here are a few pictures of what we have done this summer. 2 weeks ago Scott took the kids on a trip to Cour d'lene for a family reunion with all this brothers and sisters. I was a chicken and didn't want to get that far away from my doctor/hospital/ and most important my epidural! I was 35-36 weeks along while they were on their trip. I was so bummed to not get to go but it was the decision I felt most comfortable with. They had a great time. As you can see Britt got to do her own hair! She was very proud of this style and I'm not sure what to call it but I know this toothless picture is going in her wedding video! The bed and breakfast they stayed at had a great tire swing and I love to see the smiles on their faces. I know our kids had a BLAST! I am thankful that the kids did miss me a little. Nate asked me the other day, "Mom when you're not fat anymore, do you want to go on the fast ride at Silverwood?" I feel so loved!

Earlier this summer we were able to take the kids to one of their favorite places in the valley...Roaring Springs! They had such a blast going on the slides and playing in the wave pool. Still their favorite ride this year was the racing slide! It was a great way to spend a hot summer day in Boise.
