Ryan turns 9!!

My little girl has turned 9. Hard for me to believe how fast my kids are growing up. Ryan is so special. She is mature beyond her years and I sometimes look at her and want time to slow down so I can have more time with her. She loves her family and all her cousins. She loves helping and be productive. She is always asking what she can do to help. That is music to my ears. She is great with her younger siblings. She has been super helpful with Jack. She is my mini me and I love her so much. She is a wonderful example to those around her and is always trying to choose the right. She enjoys activity days at church with all her friends. I am so grateful Heavenly Father sent her to our family. She is needed here, we love her so much. Happy birthday my little lady!!!

Jack Rory McCann





We are so excited for our new addition to our family. On Thursday July 8 we were playing at the lake having a great time. When I started feeling weird and I knew something wasn't right. Alex had been telling me for days before that I really need
to get my bag ready, did I? no!!! So Alex and I left from the lake and drove straight to the hospital. I was contracting every 3-5 minutes. When we got to the hospital and got hooked up to all the monitors the contractions of course slowed down. I was dilated to a 3 and 60% effaced. So the nurse said I had to walk for 2 hours. So I walked from 10:30 to 12:30 contracting like crazy. I had to make some progress in order to stay. I of course made no progress and the nurse was sending me home. But before she sent me on my way she called the doc to let him know what was going on. I love my doctor because he told her I was to stay!! So happy for me. This was it. So I was up all night trying to have this baby. At 3:36 pm he finally made is grand appreance. He was a big boy for me. I had a hard time pushing his shoulders out. But he is here and we love him. So thankful for a healthy baby boy.
