Our New Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We decided to name our baby Adam, Ashlyn calls him apple, because of "Adam's Apple." He is such a blessing to our family and very, very very, very cute. :) We LOVE him so much. He ended up being a HUGE blond like Carly and has a lot of hair. We all can't wait for Adam and Mom to come home.

Blondy!!!

We had a new addition to our family today at 1:49 PM MST. He weighed 7 lbs 9 oz and was 20.5 inches long. He is the smallest of the Henderson kids. He also has lots of bleach blond hair. We'll have to add photos of his hair later, so check back for updates. For now we just want to hurry and get photos on the web for everyone to see. And, no, we haven't chosen a name yet but I think we'll have that figured out before the end of the day.

Spelling Bee Winner

First, I have to apologize about the quality of the photograph. This is what happens when you forget to take your camera to an important event and are forced to take pictures with your cell phone. But who cares? Ashlyn won her school spelling bee this January as a 4th grader. This was the most nervous and scared I have ever seen her. She told me later she thought she was going to puke. Her face was pale, but she performed under pressure. She was competing against 5th and 6th graders. She beat them all--which only supports the theory she has her mother's intelligence. She was smiling and her mother was wiping away the tears. Next month she will be competing against 7th and 8th graders to see who will qualify for the county and then the national spelling bee. We are all really happy that she did well, and we hope she does well in the next round.

Princess Stinky Pants

Seriously, Carly can get upset when you call her "Princess Stinky Pants." Carly likes to model and do pretty poses. She shows lots of emotions, (crying, laughing etc.). She LOVES Polly Pockets and Dress-Up. She is an important member of this family and can make people happy when they're sad. She has her ups and downs sometimes, but still she is a Sweetie Pie.

Rock Climbing Fool!!!!!!

Megan isn't afraid of anything--not even a rock climbing wall when she is wearing a skirt and no shoes! In this picture at the school carnival last Fall, Megan is climbing the wall and is about three quarters of the way up. It's tough to tell in the photo, but she is wearing a skirt and she has no shoes on. We tried to talk her out of climbing, but there was no chance of convincing her to visit the face painting booth with all the other girls. No, she was going to the top! Go Megan!!!!

Easter Egg Hunting is a Sport! :)

Stay out of this girl's way. She'll run you over for a silly little Easter egg. Look at the serious face she is making. We had a great Easter egg hunt in '07, and Ashlyn won with the most Easter eggs in her basket. She may have run her little sisters and cousins over, but at least she didn't steal the eggs from their baskets after they spilled them all over the lawn. We love Ashlyn!
