Isabella Felice joins the Wilcox Clan

Nathan and Tammy are the proud parents of a new baby girl, Isabella Felice who was born May 9, on Jens' birthday.  She weighed 9 lb 1 oz, and was 21 inches long.  She looks so content and happy to be here with her family.  Brendan and Laurie are being such good helpers with her.   Autumn and I, and her kids took a quick trip out to Tooele after Anthony's Swearing in Ceremony to "Ooo" and "Aaaah" at the newest little Wilcox grandchild!

We're so glad she's here.  Two of her grandmas got to share the joy together. Tammy did a lot of pre-prep classes in child birth, and hypno therapy so she could have a totally natural birth.  She did so well, and was only at the Birthing Center two hours before having this wonderful new addition.  Congratulations to the Tooele Tribe!

Gingerbread houses 2011 style

While we were at Autumn's we kept the energy of Christmas alive, by making Gingerbread houses from scratch.  Autumn made the houses using the pattern she gave all of us all last year, then we helped the kids make the houses.







The next week when Anthony and Ashley's family came to visit we repeated the activity, and had a lot of fun trying it on our own.  If I'd known how easy it really was, I would have done it with my own kids years ago.

 Since they were in transit going and coming to and from Mesa, we ended up giving their houses to our neighbor's children.  So nothing went to waste, I'm sure. 

We found out that Anthony and Ashley are also expecting a baby in 2012, and in February found out that it too, will be a little girl.
