CABOOM

so the ethanol barrels caught on fire at the American Falls airport tonight; And if you live in a small town everyone can hear the explosions. Travis and Mom were both on the ambulance and had to go make sure that none of the firemen got hurt, so of course Lynne and I knew exactly what was going on! We got a phone call telling us to go look at the "mushroom clouds." I do have to say that it is a great way to get to know the neighbors!
We were standing out side watching the fire and the psycho neighbor came running out side with his shotgun yelling that "someone was in his **** house" we tried to tell him what was going on and he went off about someone being in his attic; Then the psycho saw an explosion ran in his house got his wife jumped in his car and took off. None of us could stop laughing at him. it was great!
We also got to meet a kid that lives down the street. I've learned all it takes is to move out of the neighborhood to get to meet the neighbors!

IT'S A GIRL!!!


Well, our baby girl has arrived. Addysn Marie Ward was born 6 lbs 7 oz and was 20 inches long. She arrived after 15 hours of labor, at 8:17 PM on her Mommy's birthday, Monday May 4th. (It was about that time that she captured her Daddy's heart forever.) Misty was induced at 5:00 AM that morning. She started feeling having contractions about 15 minutes after the first dose of medication and they stayed pretty steady every 2-3 mins. At about 12:30 Misty decided she did not want to brave it anymore and asked for her first dose of pain meds. That dose worked for about an hour and then wore off. At about 3:00 in the afternoon Misty decided she wanted an epidural. The epidural was wonderful. Misty slept off and on for a couple of hours. Addysn was delivered by her Daddy and Dr. Paul Beckett. Both Addy and Mom are healthy and recovering nicely. They are expected to be coming home sometime Wednesday evening.1 hour old Addy with Mom, Dad and Grandma
