A Quick One

Olivia James Faulkner

Momma bear the day before.


The lovely May weather in Logan


This was just before all hell broke loose. She was a champ and made it to 6+ cm and then had some back labor and tapped out. She got an amazing epidural that let her still feel contractions and push, but not be in a death spiral of pain.


She came out and just chilled. She has been really mellow.


Momma was real excited.




She fussed and moaned when the nurses were poking around and probing, other than that she has been mellow.


I am digging this little baby thing.


I got to give her the first bath. It was really neat. Babies are reesty, until the are lathered rinsed and repeated.


Again with the nurses poking around.


Big ol purple paws.


She was trying to suck her finger clean off of her hand. To her dismay, it didn't work.


Ollie dropped about a month and a half ago and was posterior, so her head was all bruised up and nose got smooshed up. Doctors say it'll pop out and it already is. She looks like a retired heavy weight boxer. Too cute.


Me and Ollie trying to sleep. Emphasis on trying. Baby rocks at sleeping. I am not so good.

The Baby Made It.

Ok. Tay's water broke at 12:15pm. I raced home loaded up, forgot half of the crap that we needed and booked it to the hospital. So that we could wait until 3:45am for the little bugger to hit the deck. Everyone is happy, healthy and tired. The baby rules. She was posterior so her head is ultra aerodynamic, to put it gently, and her nose is smooshed like a retired heavyweight boxer. She is super alert and is looking around at everything. She was no Tongi baby, typically in the 12-18lb range, she was 6lbs 15oz and was 19.5 inches long. So cool to be parents. Scary as all hell, but cool.

I have to take a final and then I will post some pictures.

Thursday Ho Hum

This is Bailey Betty Brown. She is so precious.


Grandma Lyn-E and Triple B



I got a new helmet and want to show it off. It's nice.....and clean.


Jack learns a valueable lesson in beauty.

He didn't like getting his haircut at all.


Then after he was like "Damn I look good" and appreciated the pain to get the gain.


John Boy and Jack. He picked up a sweet shiner. He looks like a little hooligan.


Jack and Fishing

Getting ready to go fishing. I put my hat on him and he loved it. He's so much fun.



Johnny training Jack. Note the concentration....on both of their parts.


Ethan bought Jack a new rod at Sportsmans. It's unbreakable and Jack tried to prove that it wasn't.


It looks cold and windy.


And it was. Look at the little dudes hair. It was howlin.



The House Preview
So here are a few pictures to entice you to come back and look at more.

Here are the wood floors that I put in.


Here is the baby's crib.


Another shot of the crib


Here is the rug I picked out for the baby's room


This is the story of my life. No, not on my knees showin my crack off, but working on the house and getting things ready.



The Wifey
Here is my beautiful wife carrying the munchkin. The baby is less than 3 weeks away. Pretty rad.

India, UK, Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain

So I found that the fastest and easiest way to post photos from my trip was to put them on my website. www.JFaulkner.us. I hope you enjoy if you care enough to look.

As far as stories go........ The one thing that I will say is that the Middle Eastern countries that I visited are awesome places. They were clean, friendly and the food was good. If you ever need more info let me know.

More of the pregnant wife on the next post. Mostly to appease my dear friend Rachel Waite, but also cause Tay is cute. And for the record Rach.... The dogs don't need to screen pictures before I post them. Tay does.
