Taylar Kay Richards

Here we are, sitting at the hospital on December 23, 2010 with our Brand New Baby Girl. We came to the hospital for an induction on Tuesday night at 8:00. After 30 hours of laboring, the baby was just not making any progress so the Doc opted to do a C-Section. Taylar Kay was born at 7:05 A.M. on December 23, 2010 weighing in at 6 lbs. 2 oz. and 20 inches long. Here are some pictures. Matt got to be in the Operating Room during the C-Section, but had to scrub up... Here is his picture.

It's the BIG Day!

Well, tonight at 8:00 PM, we go to the hospital for induction!!! Baby will be here within the next couple of nights! Will have pictures up soon

Christmas 2010

We love Christmas season. We love it a little bit more this year, because our baby will be here just in time to celebrate with us. Matt put up our Christmas lights today, and tonight, we are decorating our Christmas Tree. We just need to go get our "Babies First Christmas" ornament and a cute little Newborn Christmas Dress for her to wear. We are so excited for our little bundle of joy to be here, and just in time to meet her Aunts Becca and Lori, her Uncles Jerry and Brian, her cousins Avery, Will, Lucy, Ethan, Vaughn, Faith, and Emilie, and her second cousin Bobby and his family. We are also so excited to see Becca in a few days and get to spend Christmas with her... We can't wait to see her new little girl sometime around March! It's such a joyous time of year, and we are so lucky to be able to spend this time of year with our wonderful families!

Beautiful 36 Weeks

Well, we are 4 weeks from the Big Day.. At least the Big "Due" Date. Here is Julia's 36 week picture! Our friend is going to do Belly Pictures in a couple weeks so that both Matt and Julia can be in the pictures. Here are some pictures. She is so beautiful.

24 1/2 Weeks

So, Julia's belly is starting to show that she has a baby in it. We are going to start taking a picture per week to show our family the updates. Here is the picture taken from Friday Night.

Julia's 20 Week Ultrasound

Here are some pictures of Julia's 20 Week Ultrasound.... It's A Girl!!!!

We are so excited to meet her and then to introduce her to all of you!!!!

Introducing....

Well, for you loyal blog readers, (most of you are family and already know) but we are expecing a baby. We finally have a real reason to have a blog. We can start being like the rest of you that blog from the moment you get your first ultrasound to every cute little thing your baby does. So, our first Ultrasound was about a month ago and here are some pictures for you all.

Crazy Colorado Weather

So, I thought I had seen it all, but I do believe that Mother Nature has had a severe case of PMS over the past couple of weeks in Colorado. We have gone from 65 degree weather to 8 inches of snow the next day, then back to 70 degree weather and within 3 days, we had another foot and a half of snow on the ground. Crazy to think of this wonderful Colorado Weather. Luckily, I think we are done for a little bit. We are expecting rain at the end of this week, but we were above 80 degrees today so that was cool.... And Julia's new bike will really come in handy.

Love,
Matt and Jewels

Julia's Birthday

Well, Julia is now 22 years old. Gosh how time flies...It feels like just yesterday Matt was attempting to have a Surprise Birthday Party for her. This year, Matt let her assist in the party planning, but she was not included in her birthday present. Matt got her a bike this year. We are so excited to ride our bikes all summer long. We love all of our friends and family that spent Julia's birthday with us. We love you all.

New Family Member

Wow -- It has been forever since we posted... however, not a lot to talk about. The biggest thing in our lives right now is that we went from having no kids to having an 18 year old living with us. Stephanie, Matt's Neice, has been living with us for about a month now and we love it. Stephanie decided to come live with us due to some issues between her and her dad. She is attending Standley Lake High School. It is very fun.

Matt's sister Lori was due to have a new baby boy, Andrew Scott Teeters, this past Tuesday, but no labor yet. If she does not go into labor by this coming Tuesday, one week late, they are going to induce to get the baby out of there. Seems the babies in that family like to stay in there where it is nice and warm. Matt's neice Emilie was about a week late too!!!!

Anyways, just wanted to stop by to chat. Julia's Birthday is coming up along with our family trip to California in July, so be expecting some VERY fun posts coming up soon.
