Saturday Night at Joe's Crabshack!

Saturday we went to Joe's Crabshack in Old Sac with Silke and Robert!
We had lots of laughs and lots of fun!
This dude loves crab! He's gettin into this!
He's oblivious to the world around him!!!
Notice the bib!? They knew he would need it!
Nick are you still eating? Lets get crackin!
We know you can eat a pound of crab easy!
Two crazy chicks! What fun!
No! We did not have too much to drink!
We're like this all the time !!!
Are you STILL eating?
We've all been done for at least an hour!
We know you can eat the whole thing!!!
Robert! You didn't know there were people
as crazy as you and Silke! Did ya?


What is this? Silke? You have any ideas?
At least it's not crawling? Where did Nick go? He's supposed
to finish eating!!

Ashley and Clint's Wedding (It Really Happened!!!!)

Getting ready for the wedding! Will the groom show up?

The wedding ceremony.
This arrangement was about 4 feet high.
The Wedding decorations were black, white and red.
Everyone's taking pictures!

Clint and I dancing to Because you Loved Me by Celine Dion!
Everyone getting ready for Brock to take pictures!
Hayden loved the chocolate covered pretzels that my friend Heather made!
Hayden is enjoying food while mom and dad dance and cut cake!
Kyle, Ashley's brother who caught the garter!
Clint get your hands out from under Ashley's dress!
They didn't shove cake in each others faces!
That is a good sign according to the experts!

Brock is doing his thing!

We had chocolate dipped strawberries, pretzels and cookies! Yum! Yum!
Ashley and Baby Chloe are sleeping while standing up.

Hayden was in his own world! He looks like he had a few!
Do you think his shirt was a little big?
Cutting the Cake! A lady in our ward made this cake for only $100
Where was she when Ashley Gilbert got married! ?
The wedding was a little hectic, but it turned out nice. There is nothing like planning a wedding in a week. The upside is we spent a lot less money than we did on Ashley's. My friend Heather was here from Huntington Beach and she helped me with all the food. I don't know what I would have done without her. I could never have got it all done. I will update this week with more pictures when I get them from Brock. We wished all of our family could have been here, but it was short notice and we didn't have a lot of time. It turned out nice and I think Ashley and Clint were happy with it!.

Grandma Suzie is like a big fat pillow and I love to sleep on her!

I'm so beautiful!
Great Grandma Alice bought me this dress for my blessing!
I didn't even spit up on it!
I've had a long day!
I got blessed today and I had to be in the spotlight!
It was a lot of work!
Would someone please pick me up?!
You know I'm too cute to resist!
Hayden loves chewing ice and eating chocolate like his grandma!

On my way to rock and roll stardom!
I just need to find my great uncle Jeff so he can make me famous!
Will vaccuum to support my parents!
Baby Vampire! Coming up in the next Sequel of Twilight if my
Rock and Roll doesn't work out!

Hayden loves to pet Chloe like he does Frenchie the dog!
Uncle Nathan please I just want to check your teeth!
I promise it won't hurt!

Baby Chloe Update

This was Wednesday she is now off feeding tubes etc.
They are still monitoring vitals, but she's doing well.
Dee, Chloe's Grandma or Nanah
Don't know if I spelled Nanah right

Baby Chloe on Tuesday

Two very tired parents

Suzie, Chloe's other grandma
A very elated one! Got to hold her for the first time on Thursday!

Aaron the proud dad holding his baby daughter!
He's not bad at changing a diaper either which he is very excited about!

Nathan and Jarrett at the hospital!
They were just excited not to go to school for a few days
and have no homework!
They haven't seen baby yet because she's in ICU still,
but they are excited to be uncles again!

One of the fabulous nurses that have been taking care of Chloe!

Elated parents!

Baby Chloe is now off all feeding tubes and antibiotics! She likes being wrapped up like a burrito!

This is her little penguin friend that hangs out with her.
She likes binkies!


So yesterday, or Thursday Chloe looked even better. Every day she has continued to improve dramatically. She has a bit of jaundice now so they are watching that and making sure she is eating enough. They came in and did an x ray of her head yesterday (Thursday), but we haven't heard anything from the doctor yet. They also did an ultrasound. The preliminary results were that she looked okay. So hopefully everything will be okay. Her head is looking 100 % better from when she was born. She is eating good and doing all of that stuff well now. The main thing they are watching is the jaundice now. Ashley and Aaron are staying in a hotel close to the hospital so they can be up there by her. Hopefully she won't be in there too much longer. We appreciate all the prayers and all the concern that you all have shown! It's nice to have family and friends!

Baby Chloe 1 day old!

Here is the proud dad whom is doing well now that the labor is over!
He had a hard time watching Ashley and Chloe have such a hard time!
He did his coaching job well. The nurses and doctors were amazed with them both.


She's looking a lot better today!
Lots more color and more alert.
She was able to breathe on her own.

Cute isn't she?
Ashley and Chloe!
She got to feed and hold her today! Yea!
Thanks for all the prayers and trips to the temple!
She is doing better but still in ICU.

Baby Chloe









Baby Chloe has come into the world after 17 hours of labor. Ashley was awesome! She did the whole thing natural, and was pushing for 3 1/2 hours. Ashley is doing fine and baby Chloe will hopefully be fine too! She had some fetal stress and has blood up around her brain. The doctor said that they will watch her tonight. They said her color is looking better and they seem optomistic about it. Pray for her anyway. She weighed 7lbs. and 8oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long.She has lots of dark hair and she is very precious. Aaron was wonderful and he was the perfect coach and very supportive which he always is. Here are a few pictures
