Our New Baby is Born

We welcomed our fourth child into our family on October 20, 2008. We named him Taylor Frazier Newby. He was born at 1:56pm, weighed 8lbs 3oz, and was 21" long. He is a very sweet baby boy who has already got everyone in the family by the heartstrings.

Hyrum's Broken Arm

Last Sunday, November 2nd, Hyrum fell from the top bunk (Jonathan's bed) and broke his arm. He and Jonathan were suppose to be making their beds and getting their church clothes on to be ready for church. But, boys will be boys, and they got to horsing around and Hyrum chased Jonathan up to his bed. The story goes that Jonathan nudged Hyrum off the bed in just such a way that Hyrum fell, landing in such a way so as to break his left arm. I was just across the hall in my room and was to him just as he landed. He managed to break both bones, the radius all the way in half. Hyrum got to spend the rest of Sunday in the Emergency room with Dad and Grandma. The Dr. concluded that he needed to have surgery in order to completely break the ulna apart, enabling both arm bones to be re-aligned properly. Monday morning surgery was complete, and Hyrum is finally on the mend. Check out this little video we took Sunday night when he got home from the Emergency Room...

Halloween

We celebrated Halloween with lots of style this year! We took the kids to Grandma Su's ward trunk-r-treat party on the Saturday before Halloween, which kicked off a crazy sugar filled week! Friday, Halloween finally came and the boys were ecstatic to get to go trick-or-treating. We let them get into their costumes late that afternoon and we got some pretty fun pictures of them. At 6:00 we were off to our own ward chili feed and Trunk-r-treating party. They each filled their buckets half full there alone! Then we took them around the neighborhoods for traditional door knocking. By 8:30 we were on our way over to the "Pumpkin House", one of Grandma's friends who carves 50-60 pumpkins the day before Halloween. We had fun looking at all the different pumpkin faces. We ended the night by stopping by Grandma's for homemade cinnamon rolls. It was just a perfect holiday for our family!
