Cash Nikolaus Hamblin

Just a quick blog to let you know that the Shane & Jessica Hamblin family just grew a little bigger! Cash Nikolaus Hamblin arrived at 10:53 am on September 5, 2009. He was 7 lb. 2 oz. 19 1/2 ". He is just a little peanut and we are totally and madly in love with him!

Jessica (of course) is the best little mom! She was born to be a mommy!

Shane is the cutest little dad...............

One Happy Little Family.
We love you Cash! Thanks for coming into our family!

Jaxen prepares for his modeling career!

What are you guys looking at?

Haven't you ever seen a stud like me before?

This is the cutest little guy ever!
He has learned to "scoot" and he ends up all over the place!

This is his favorite pose though! After he scoots for awhile,

he takes a break, puts his little hand on his leg and looks around........!

It's priceless!

How do you like my profile pose?

Trip to Wyoming

Here are some pictures of our trip to Wyoming in July........ They are in no particular order, pretty much because I have not taken "Blogging for Dumbies" yet!

This is Grannie Platts being carried out to the boat (She is DEATHLY afraid of the water!!)

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT SHE WALKED BACK INTO THE SHORE HERSELF!

SHE IS VERY PROUD OF THAT FACT! GO GRANNIE!

I had commented that I was too old to be pulled behind the boat in a tube. "I might break something"............... I think those were my exact words. THEN, Barry's 82 year old dad decides that he'd like to give a try!! Well, there went my excuse...............right down the drain! So here we are!! From left to right - Jen (Kip's wife), Barry's dad, Misty, me and Barry!

It was truly the funnest thing I've done in a LONG time!!

Left to right - Kip & Conner, Jen, Grandpa, Hannah (6) and Raegin
