Hailey is One Month Old!! Hailey and her Babbagepatch Christmas baby. Sleepy girl. Emma and Hailey. Sweet Little Emma is 2. Emma and her black ladybug cupcake. Emma opening her presents. Emma at her birthday party. So I have been getting a lot of people telling that they want pictures of the girls so here they are. Matt, Emma, and I all have been fighting a cold and trying to stay away from Hailey. Hailey is doing great, growing a lot, and almost sleeping through the night. We are finally able to be home for a little bit, all of us together. I am really excited about this. We are getting ready for Christmas, all that, that brings. Hope all is going well for everyone. The pictures of Emma and Emma's birthday were taken by: Sara Bedient. Love, Anna

Hello Everyone, We are all doing great. Emma had her 2nd birthday at Auntie Leanne and Uncle Tom's house this past Saturday. Thank you to everyone that came to share in the celebration of our daughters birthday. Hailey is doing great as well. She had her 2 week check up not too long ago and at that point she had gone from 6lbs 10oz at the week visit to 7lbs 11oz and went from 19in to 20 1/4 in. Grow baby grow. Matt just called me to tell me that he passed his end of step, this is a big deal and we are very proud of him. And very thankful for all that he does for our family. As for myself I am doing well. I feel great and seem to be healing nicely. I am enjoying our time home as a family. Matt should be home for a little while now and we are going to soak up every minute of it. Hope all is going well with everyone. Much Love, Anna P.S. I will be putting up new pictures soon, sorry that there are none right now.

Hailey Marie Harvey Daddy, Hailey, and Mommy Sisterly Love (Emma and Hailey) Smiley Little She is here, and we are in love. She arrived at 3:40pm on Monday October 19,2009, by c-section. It when great Matt got to be apart of the whole thing. It was so awesome to hear her take that first cry. Matt was able to watch the whole surgery and then got to cut the umbilical cord. We did so well we even got to go home a day early. The worst part of the whole thing was that we couldn't have visitors given the H1N1 (piggy flu) is ever so prominent, and the day that we left was difficult because Emma could not come close to the mommy baby section of the hospital given her age, so we had to juggle to get the kid, myself, and all of our stuff t...

Well we are home again, yet to take a breath though. Grandpa's memorial service went really well, I think he would have liked it. A lot of friends, family, and food. Just a few tears, mostly laughter. He will be missed but how blessed we are to of had him in our lives. We got home late Sunday night, and did a crash right into bed. Monday we got busy getting some last minute things done while I had Matt home to help. We got the shower completed down stairs, just in case I can't make it up stairs after baby comes, and it is nice for guest that way. We got the truck and trailer cleaned out, as well as winterizing the trailer. Winter is fast approaching here, Sunday night on our way home it said that it was 24 degrees. Matt left for Vancouver, WA today he will be back this Friday, just in time. He will be taking the week of the 19th off and then leaves again for Vancouver, WA come Sunday the 25th, for two weeks. Fallowed by Saturday school in Pasco, WA the 7th. Yes this ...

Yes I meant to say clam not calm. My grandfather always told us this, and right now I need to. Last Wednesday my grandpa past away. He had terminal prostate cancer, and it took him fast. He really wanted to meet Hailey before he had to go home, but she wasn't ready to come out yet, and he could hold on any longer. It is a sad thing for our family and so many others who's life's he touched. He was wonderful husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, not just to our family but to so many more. He will be missed and held in our hearts forever. I love you grandpa, I just wanted you to hear that one last time, and I am sorry that I could get there to tell you that.

Emma our little handy helper. Matt's parents and grandmother just left this morning. They helped us with a lot of odds and ends. They got our bath tub put in our downstairs bathroom, the utility sink hooked up, and a new door put in. Along with helping me get Emma's room and our room put together. Thank you so much for all of your help. Well little Miss Hailey will not be here on the 16th of Oct. unless God has other plans and would like her here then. She will be here on the 19th, the hospital was booked for the 16th. So the 19th it is. Everything is going well. I went to the hospital for a little check, I thought that my water had broke, but no such luck. Although she has a little more cooking to do. Emma is doing well. Still adjusting to the new house and room. Her sleeping pattern is all messed up so about 1:30 am every night she is waking up. I am looking forward to Matt getting home so that I might get a solid nights sleep. Matt will be home Tuesday the 29th and I am look...

Well we are moved into our new house, I love it. Thanks to all the help that we got from our family and friends. Dan and Connie came up on Sep. 4th and helped us finish packing and helped with the big move. Like I said before Matt took off the entire week do to the flood in our rental basement and still there was so much to do once he left. He left for work first thing Saturday morning. My dad stayed behind and helped me to finish up everything, the basement mostly. He didn't get home until 11:00 pm Sunday night, he is awesome. Then Tuesday Dan came and helped me to get the furniture in place and put all the boxes is the rooms that they go in, so that way I could just get to unpacking. Thank you, Dad and Dan so much for your help, I really could not have gotten as far with out your help. I had a Dr. appointment this past Friday the 11th and we have a day set for little Miss Hailey to come. Oct. 16th, 2009. I will have an appointment with the head ob Dr. at Deaconess Hospi...

Emma playing in the sand. Nicolle and I. The Harvey's The Gatson's and The Harvey's. Me and my belly at 32 weeks. Hello to Everyone, A lot has happened since I wrote last. I left off with us arriving in Kalama, WA it was a good two weeks there. We had a nice time with Steve and Kathy, we felt very blessed to be able to stay with them. The weekend that we had in between we spent with our friends Shad and Nicolle Gatson at the Oregon Coast. Although we all came home very tiered we had a fun filled weekend. We spent part of Saturday in Sea Side going to all the shoppes, then Nicolle and I got to got to a scrap booking store, we then finished the day at the beach. Emma loves the water tickling her toes and playing in the sand. Sunday Nicolle and Shad watched Emma for us and Matt and I were able to have a little mommy daddy time. We went to the Maritime Museum in Astoria, OR. Matt had really been wanting to go and see it. It had all the old boats and Coast Guard stuff. We enj...

Emma at Pam and Paul's house, loving being outside. At 21 months old. Me and my belly at 30 weeks. Emma and Uncle Chris at the park. So we are on our third week of our month away from Grand Coulee. We stayed the weekend at Paul and Pam's house, it was very nice Matt was able to get rested up. We just arrived in Kalama, WA, we are staying with our friends that live here while Matt has training in Vancouver. We have spent two weeks with my brother and his partner in Tacoma while Matt was working in Olympia. Emma is doing good, but it has been a little harder for her this trip with being in all new places but I think we will make it. Little Hailey is moving like mad and not letting mommy sleep very much but I just think of it as preparation for the lack of sleep to come. I personally am looking forward to not be traveling but all in good time. Well that is it for now, I will up date more latter this week. I thought that I had some pictures of Emma and Uncle Kyle but I must no...

So much has happened the last two weeks. Time is just flying by. I am already in my 27th week, soon to be 28th. Hailey is moving lots and growing just as much. We were in Wenatchee for a week with Matt while he was working. It was fun, we got to go and visit Matt on the job site and see what, "Daddy does". Their job was to change out the balls that hang on the lines so that airplanes can see them. They may look small when you are driving under them but let that be a reminder of how high they really are. They are very big. That day the crew was getting the basket and the new balls ready for the next day. Were they would hang them. They ride this little basket out to were the new one needs to go and get to work. It is kind of like a really really high gondola ride with the wind blowing in your hair. I have a lot more pictures of the job so if you would like to see them let me know and I will show you them. Matt climbing down. Matt tying a rope. Matt climbing to the top of th...

Sweet Baby Girl! Cherries are good, mom. Miss America!! Well right now we are in Wenatchee, WA. Matt will be working up here for the week. Next week Emma and I will be going to Mattawa to spend the week there at my parents house. Our niece Elle will be up from Texas and we are looking forward to seeing her. After that there is a chance that we will be back in Colville again. So for now there is hardly a free moment in our lives. I have a lot of projects going and I am trying my best to get them done but I am finding it hard to, not being home. Oh well do what you can I guess. Hope all is going well for everyone. The pictures were taken be Sara Bedient, I love them, thanks Sara!! Love to all, Anna

Great Grandpa Weberling "G.G" and Emma. She fell asleep, and he loved it. Emma and Daddy swimming. Emma and Mommy swimming in Gramy and Grandpa Weberling's big pool. All ready for the swim. Emma found some rocks that she thought to be keepers. The view from our spot. Me and my belly at 23 weeks. Grow Hailey grow. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Matt left this afternoon for his bike trip to Glacier National Park, in MT. He has really been looking forward to this trip and I am happy that he gets to go and have some well deserved fun. Emma and I have had a couple of offers to go and do things but right now we are going to hold down the fort. This month is going to get and has already had some buys times. So we thought that we would just stay home and have a mellow 4th. Although doing errands has been a little more time consuming given the holiday weekend and we live in a tourist town. We had a good time in Colville, we actually stayed at a camp ground in Kettle...

Here I was thinking that the end of June and into July wasn't going too busy, well let me tell you, I was wrong. We leave for Colville Sunday for four days, then we are going back down to Mattawa to take care of some family things. Then Matt has his bike trip, and Emma and I may or may not be going on a little trip ourselves, we will see how we are holding up. After that we could have a normal week but we are hoping to have a yard sale that weekend. Then Emma and I will be going to spend a week at my mom and dad's so that we can spend time with Elle, my brothers daughter. She will be up from TX to go to Jr. Golf Camp, that my dad is helping out with. There are various other appointments that we will be needing to go to in and amongst all of this. In August we will be in Vancouver for two weeks and we are hoping to take one weekend and go camping with our friends on the Oregon coast. Then before we know it Hailey will be here, and it wont slow down there. October and No...

Emma ready for the pool. Hailey Marie Harvey, 19 weeks, 5 days. My belly at 20 weeks, 6 days. Well one week ago today we found out that we are having a little girl. Her name will be Hailey Marie Harvey. Emma did great during the ultrasound, it took an hour and a 1/2, only because we couldn't see the sex. They had me walk around and flip flop back and forth. We got to see her swallow, that was really neat to see. She also was grabbing her toes and she yawned for us too. What a treat. It has been very hot here 90's mostly but Emma and I have been playing in her little pool a lot. She loves being outside, she would stay out there all day if I let her. She is also doing very well with letting go of her pacifier. She only has it now if we are in the car or bedtime. When she wakes up she runs to the drawer and puts it away. Well that is it for now, I will try to get those pictures up by the end of this weekend. Take care, Anna

Starting to show, 16 weeks 1 day. Emma at Grammy and Grandpa Weberling's house, in her little chair. My dad and Matt shooting. First off, Happy Mothers Day to all of those mothers out there. We had a great weekend. Even though Matt had Saturday school. Friday we went and got Emma her big girl bed, it is just a toddler bed but I told Matt that I wont be able to get her in and out of her crib towards the end of the pregnancy as well as after the baby comes. I will get a picture soon, it is so cute seeing Emma in it. After we got back from getting the bed Matt, my dad, and I all went shooting. It was a lot of fun. My dad just got a new gun and was like a kid on Christmas morning. On Saturday we had a late lunch early dinner and went home, so that we could be home on Sunday. Matt surprised me with a bracelet that I love very much. Sunday Matt got...

This is Emma on the caricell, she loved it. When it was all done, she stood at the fence and kept pointing. And lets just say not too happy when we left. These are the Elk that we saw on the way back from the beach, Emma missed them, she was fast asleep. Emma and Mommy at the beach. BRRRRR! She loved the flowers, and amazingly didn't rip it off it's stem. Emma smelling the flowers, she had this face beacuse this was the 5th time I had asked her to smell it so I could get the picture. What a trooper! This last weekend Matt had Saturday school in Pasco. We are in Vancouver and he thought that he would be able to go to the one in Portland, but instead he got to drive all the way back to Pasco for a 1/2 day class, woo hoo. So Matt dropped Emma and I off with our good family friend Pam Pedersen, who lives in Cathlamet. About 20Min's from Long View. We spent Friday afternoon second hand shopping, it was a blast. Emma got to see some puppies, that made her day. We stayed the n...
