Sarah Julia Thatcher

During one of my doctor's appointments the girls got to go to Zac's work and eat breakfast and look around UVU.  They were especially intriuged by the dance classes.
 Shopping.
 Zac's drive to work.

 At a BYU basketball game.



 What sick looks like. We've had quite the bout with sickies this winter.
 Those are my girls :) Fun outing to Cabellas.


 Using the fruits of our shopping trip to Cabella's.  My favorite gun in the whole world.(.44 Mag)
 My brother Loren came to visit!
 In the waiting room at the hospital waiting to go in and be induced.
 What my labors look like.  I am still working on writing up the whole story.  But the short version was that it took about 9 hours and over an hour of pushing.  Sarah's heart rate wasn't doing well with the contractions so I had to be on my right side pretty much all 9 hours so the epideral only worked on one side.  Needless to say, lots of pain, throwing up, and worrying.  And when she was born she was having a little trouble breathing but she shortly got the hang of it and was perfectly healthy! 7.4 pounds and 19 inches long, the smallest of the bunch.  What relief and joy to finally have our new baby girl in this world! We love our little Sarah Julia (named after Zac's 2nd-great-grandma) and are excited to get to know her!



 Proud Daddy.
 Such chubby cheeks.  She has lost those already, but we're working on getting them back :)







 Sarah's coming home outfit (picked out by Daddy, he always does such a good job :)
 The girls looooove having a new baby sister.  They are very gentle and try to help whenever they can.


 Wearing Daddy's pants.

 This is from a while ago.  We got a new ride! We sold our Sentra 5-seater for this 7-seater Chevy Uplander.  I love the automatic opening doors and the girls love the dvd player.  It's weird to think we are now minivan owners :)

At a BYU volleyball game.  We've had a blast going to a few of these games seeing the #1 in the country Men's team.  The girls love singing the fight song and seeing cosmo.



It's starting to warm up and we're taking full advantage of it.  We've missed the sun this winter :(


I love this picture.  Uncle Loren having a staredown with a fish at Cabellas.


I love that flourescent colors are in style again.  They remind me of my childhood.



Another couple of my organizing projects before Sarah was born.





The girls loooove to run.  I'm excited to be able to go run outside again.  But for now, green light red light in the front room will have to do.

Rachel has shown a lot of interest in block building recently.  It's cool to see how she organizes them by color and lines them up.  Very organized and particular little one.  She doesn't like me to help cause apparently I build them wrong.
One of our many art projects this winter.



Pretty girls all ready for Church.

Mmmm.  Oreo crust, baked cheesecake with raspberry spread on the top.
Valentine's Day



I love their expressions, haha.


I let Anne pick out her clothes.  Remind you of someone?
Rockband with Uncle Loren.

I am horrible and didn't take many pictures, but my Mom was awesome and came to watch the girls while we had Sarah.  I don't know what I would've done without her.  I love you Mom! Thank you, thank you.



Rachel giving Anne a kiss. Sisterly love, there's nothing like it.








Beautiful little Sarah.
