Party, Party Everywhere!

Having Halloween on a Sunday certainly stretched out the festivities and parties. We began the celebrations on Friday with Sarah's preschool class carnival. Sarah was a pretty princess and had a great time during her carnival
Ashlyn was the baby of many costumes this year. She began as our "Princess in training" with pink leggings, a pink shirt with jeweled crown and a tutu. But being a baby she had a blow out, go figure. So for Colton's school Fall Festival Ashlyn was a cute Halloween bundle. It was all about being warm and dry.

The next night we went to the karate Trunk or Treat. Of course our little Ninja was joined by many other Ninjas. Colton was in the finals for the best costume contest too. But the kids thought the best part of the night was the amount of candy they got. It was unbelievable!

Here are our two trick or treaters! Our Ninja always there to protect our little Princess!

We always have lots of Fun with our friends at Cutting Edge Martial Arts! We hope everyone had as much fun on Halloween as we did going to all our Parties!

Fall Fun at the Pumpkin Patch

Going to the Pumpkin Patch is an annual event the whole family enjoys! The end of the night is not the ideal time to get all the kids together for that precious ideal picture instead we have a truly candid shot.

She is growing up so fast but still remains too cut for words!
He is such a character! Thumbs - up expereince at the pumpkin patch.

High on top of a huge stack of monster tires there is sibling LOVE!

Sarah WON the race! She was so proud of herself and just laughing as Colton kept trying to keep up with her on the tricycles.

Colton was aiming to ring the bell on the huge pumpkin as he shot mini pumpkins out of the air pressured pumpkin shooters.

Sarah showed off her great sense of balance as she rode the pony. She is a natural!

Ashlyn was the happy spectator as her brother and sister were crazy kids at the pumpkin patch.

It was a great Monday night activity for our family with fall and halloween fun. We rode a train, shot pumpkins, petted animals, and the kids bounced and panned for Gold(we are in California after all). Jay and I had a great time watching the kids enjoy themselves so much!

Our Family is Back!

I have not been very good with updates since Ashlyn came along but I am going to really try to stay more recent, especially for our dear Nana and Granddaddy and Grandma and Grandpa. The kids are ready for church and they look so cute. I love coordinating the kids outfits on Sunday. Ashlyn is about 4mos. old in this picture.
Lately, Colton and Sarah love to be close with Jay and/or I when we are hanging out as a family.

Here is the most recent picture of Ashlyn, now just shy of 6mos. old. I took this picture this afternoon, she was so happy after she had a good nap in Jay's arms at Stake Conference.

It is the Oman girls! Colton was our photographer. He is still working on the art of taking a good picture. But he and Sarah love taking pictures non-the less.

Everyone say CHEESE!

Aren't they SO Cute!

Here are just a few recent pictures of the kids and baby Ashlyn. Ashlyn has grown so quickly! Sarah is sporting her adorable pettiskirt with Halloween spirit. She is our little Diva!
Colton is growing up so fast too. He is a big helper with Ashlyn, especially sice he has figured out that he is strong enough to hold her.

Ashlyn is all buddled on a rainy Saturday morning at the soccer fields!

Feet are surely her favorite toy.

Such a precious angel baby! She brings great joy to the house with her contagious giggles. Colton and Sarah both love taking turns to make her laugh. Laughter is so good for the Soul!

Sweet Angel Girl!

Ashlyn Marie asleep again, thank goodness because then Mom could rest too.

One of the very few moments when Ashlyn has her eyes open and it is 11, almost 12 o'clock at night. Her days and nights are definitely a bit mixed up.

Oh, the first bath is never as calming and smooth as you may think it would be or as it goes on the Johnson commercials.

Sweet Angel Girl asleep again. Truly precious and innocent.

The kids are very excited to have Ashlyn home and enjoy holding her when ever they can or whenever she isn't sleeping.

Precious Moments

The Lord has certainly blessed us in such a wonderful way with another child in our family. Children are so precious and certainly the greatest gifts life could bring.

Mommy and her three munchkins!

Proud New Parents!!

Ashlyn is ready to go to her new home and there was great anticipation and excitement for her to come home.

Baby Oman is Here!!

Well the long awaited time has come and we are proud to announce the delivery of ...

BOY or GIRL?

Sweet Angel Girl - Ashlyn Marie at 9lbs. 8oz. and 21 3/4 ins

on April 28th at 11:24am

She was delivered by scheduled c-section with no complications. Both baby and mom are doing well and recovering hoping to be healthy and back to life within a few weeks.

Both Colton and Sarah are so excited for the arrival of a little sister! We can already see what fantastic siblings they will be to their new sister.

As we have more pictures and life gets back to normal I will hopefully keep the blog more up to date. We are excited to share our growing family with each of you.

The miracle of bringing another child into this world is such a great blessing and we appreciate everyone's love, support and excitement for us.
