Oliver Called Grandpa G

Soon after Oliver was born, He got to talk with Grandpa Glassford. As Grandpa was talking to him over the phone, Oliver started trying to grab the phone and making cute little baby noises. I am so glad that Rich got to at least hear this darling little boy's voice.


The Blaser Family are all doing well!

Oliver Eric Blaser Is Here!

Wow! One more little miracle is here.
Time 9:08 am on June 27,2011 Little Oliver arrived happy and healthy.


Baby Oliver is here, safe and sound...
Happy Birthday Oliver and Chad!


He weighs 8 lbs 4 oz.
He is 20 inches long, and has 10 toes and fingers!
His head is 15 inches diameter. Normal heads are only 10 inches. Big headed baby!

Just a little bit of hair (more like fuzz), but if he is any thing like his Dad, he will have a full head of hair and beard in no time at all!

He does have good lungs and knows that if he cries, Dad and Mom will come running.

Mom is doing very well and felt no pain! She is trying to be patient with the nurses, but she wants to hold her baby but the nurses want to take care of her first.


Once she was able to hold her sweet little gift, the Doctor came back in and played the guitar and sang to the happy new family. This is a new tradition, really made it a special, relaxing time with mother and child.

Congratulations Angie and Chad, We love you!

Angie is Headed to the Operating Room

The baby is coming!!!

Chad and Angie got to the hospital at 5:45. Got all hooked up and ready for the arrival of baby Oliver when set back #1 came. Other patients needing emergency C-sections. They got put on hold. They starting prepping them again when set back #2 came, The Doctor's assistant was unable to make it to the hospital--possibly delaying surgery til they could find new assistant--lunch time or after hours. Luckily the Doctor found another Doctor leaving for the day and she offered to assist in the operation...

They quickly finished prepped her,

Got Chad dressed...

and off they went to the operating room.

Heather and I are now along in her room, with an empty bed....waiting to meet our newest family member!

First Fishing Trip

We headed to Strawberry Lake to experience our first fishing trip. We planned ahead and checked with the weatherman, but he was wrong... go figure. It was FREEZING! The fish bit a little bit, but I am sad to say, we didn't bring any fish home to eat.

Mom was Derek's best buddy on this trip, she entertained him with Cheetos and donuts. (Not the healthiest but very effective)


Jacob is a little camera shy... so when he finally looked at me, his facial expression was sure interesting!


Jacob kept his pole very tight and had the pole at a good angle!


Grandma and Grandpa tried to stay warm with blankets.



Daddy still has a great cast!!!


The fishing trip was lots of fun, I cant wait until it gets warmer and we might actually catch a fish!!

Summer Begins...

We made it through another year of school! Rich did an amazing job teaching the kids, the students did an amazing job learning, and I just kept on cooking in the kitchen.
All in all, it was all good.
Now is time for summer. We are knee deep in preparing the gardens and planting all our vegetables for this year. We have a good head start on our tomatoes with the green house. Our peas, onions, Brussel sprouts and beets are coming along well, and are looking forward to some fresh vegetables soon. We just planted our beans, cucumbers and peppers.
Now it is time to weed, and water...
The boys are having fun with their pumpkins and gourds. We will be posting images soon so you can see their great growth!
We hope you are all enjoying the first taste of summer as well.
