My Three Sons!! Liam Marshall Hawkes arrived here on Tuesday March 16th at 3:30pm. He is a chubby little guy with great big, kissable cheeks! He weighed 9 lbs. 9oz and was 20.5 inches long. We are so happy to have him here.

My Mother...

Karen E. Smithson Lambert

Me and My Mom at my Wedding

Mom and Dad 1977

For those of you who don't know... My sweet mother, Karen Lambert passed away on Dec. 19Th 2009. It has been hard. I will miss her so very much. She was a great person, and a wonderful mom. I have so many happy and fun memories of her as a mother and a friend. Even though I live far away, she and I were very close. We talked almost every day. That has been the hardest thing for me to accept, that she is no longer a phone call away.

She had some health problems, that became too much for her and she was released from her body. She died of a Pulmonary Embolism to her lungs that stopped her breathing and her heart. I know that she is in a better place, and out of pain.

I love you, mom.

Someday I will Catch up...

I have so much blogging to catch up on. The least of which is that we are expecting our 3rd little baby boy on March 21st. I will do more later...maybe. :)

Jackies Graduation May 2009

Go Utah State Grads!! Jackie got her degree in teaching: Secondary Education--History and English. Way to go girl!

We had graduation dinner at the Bluebird Cafe. Where they had some seriously good grub, and fine chocolates for desert!


We met at Dana's appt afterwards for some questionably looking "mud mash" desert thing.

Trip to Idaho May 2009

We started out our Spring Vacation with a trip to Mesa Falls on the four wheelers with Marshall's Dad, Jeff. It was lots of fun. Cohen couldn't get enough of the four wheelers and the goggles.

Cody's horse had just had a baby shortly before we arrived. Cohen and Eli got to ride the Mommy horse around the yard.

Cohen and his cousins discovered a new fun game at the haystack. Actually as you can see from the photos...they had some older boy encouragement!!


Lynda gave all the boy cousins shirts that said, "What happens at Grandmas, stays at Grandmas!" They were so cute for their photo shoot.

Saying Goodbye to our Friends...

We all knew this day was going to come. The day when all of our dental student friends leave KY to move on to bigger and better things. We miss you all and hope thing are going well for you guys! Keep in touch.
