Another New one for us

We had another baby.  A boy this time.  He was born Sunday, August 25th.

He is a long and skinny boy, and he is always looking around.  He is a good sleeper though.

Baby #7

We welcomed a new baby girl into our home last Sunday Nov. 20th. Her name is Shelby Leona Zirker. She was 6 lbs 9 oz 20 inches. The kids are excited to have a new baby sister-especially Maura. She adores her.

Zirker Family reunion 2011

Just thought you might want to check out some of the reunion pics.....it was lots of fun. I have tons more on my blog.......

Our Addition to the Zirker Name

Riley Susan Zirker showed up on June 21st at 11:12 p.m. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 21" long.

Kimbre and I are enjoying some time off and are learning to function on 2 hour increments of sleep.

For the 4th of July we were lucky enough to have the day off together. We spent the day at the Richards' family lake cabin. Grandma Zirker put together this lovely little outfit, which Riley wore all day until a blowout up the back necessitated a wardrobe change.

Eve Leona Greer

4 days old

8 weeks old

Eve Leona Greer was born on May 4, 2011 in Turkey.  She weighed in at 7 pounds 15 1/2 ounces and was 20 onches long.  Jamieson made me wait in the car in the hospital parking lot for 20 minutes to make sure this was really it.  She was born 40 minuts after I walked into the hospital.  Yes Jamieson, that was really it.  To his credit we did go in the weekend before for false labor, so I wanted to wait as well.  The girls are loving on her and we are having a blast.  Come visit!

Baptism Photos

Bailey Shay Hambrick is now 8 and ready to be baptized.

TWO NEW GRANDBABIES

Thought it might be nice to include a picture of our two new grandchildren. Samuel Kenneth Limburg on the left and Teagan Elizabeth Richards on the right. We have enjoyed them so much and will have another one in May. We love you all!!

Alyssa Marie Zirker

Alyssa was born on Jan 27 - Another girl for the Brant Zirker clan.

She Made It! (And so did we!)

Teagan Elizabeth Richards added to the Zirker clan via one-step-down-from-emergency C-section on October 25th and we couldn't be happier...although more than 3 hours sleep at a time couldn't hurt things :)
That picture doesn't really do The Cheeks justice, so here's a bonus glimpse:At 10 days she was already a little chub. She's ours, allright!
We've survived our first 3 1/2 weeks (knock on wood) and are looking forward to the coming weeks, months and years. Wish us luck - we're new at this!

More Pics

Here are some pictures I found on my camera today from Grandpa's funeral.

Grandpa's Funeral

Just thought you might like a couple of pictures of Grandpa's funeral. At Brant's suggestion, we flew Grandpa's flag at 1/2 mast while we were all here. Many of the neighbors and ward members commented about it. There were some touching feelings as they drove by and saw it for the first time. They new that Grandpa's was gone.

I love this picture of the pall bearers. They are (left side) Erik, Seth (Lacey's husband), Matt, Kevin, Lacey, (Right side) Brant, (Travis - way in the back, I think Ty was back there too), Tara, Tiffany, Brandon, and Shawn. That's Eugene in the edge of the picture.

Another one for the Zirker clan.

We had a wonderful time at Disneyland a few weekends ago, but ride-wise, this trip was a little more mellow than most, since there a lot of rides that:

That's right, after three and a half years of marriage and a year and a half of fruitless attempts, we finally figured it out.

I'm going to have a baby, folks!

I'm not quite ready to display the inside of my uterus on the world wide web just yet, but to satisfy your curiosity, Little Richards will debut in late October and looks a lot like a peanut at this point in time. When there's more to see, I'll let you know.

I will, however, give you a belly shot at nearly 12 weeks:
Did I fool you? Okay, nor am I ready to show you the belly that's just about the same size it has been since wedded bliss expanded my horizons (and measurements). When there's something to see, you'll see it. Until then, Buddy makes a great surrogate.

Buckle your seatbelts for a whole lot of chubby:

and even more cute:

This will be grandchild #13 on the Richards side, but wonderfully Grandma & Grandpa are just as excited as if it were the first... which is true for the Haw side of things. We're SO excited to make grandparents out of my parents (although - and my dad will confirm - they are too young to have grandchildren), aunts and uncle out of my siblings, and great-grandparents on both sides of my family! Talk about spoilage!

Thank you for all of your love and support. We couldn't be more excited!

Derby Cars

I'm tired of looking at Kevin's family, so I thought I would throw these up for fun. Feel free to add shots of your own cars.

Here we are trying to look like we get along. Another year has come and gone and we've grown older and wiser...and here are the pictures to prove it!

Our Recent Summer Vacation

We recently went on a summer vacation through seven states (CO, WY, UT, ID, MT, WA & OR). Our trip brought us into contact with a lot of family members, some unexpectedly (see the picture of us with Clint and Jen on the BYU-Idaho campus). We also stopped at eight temples, including the Oquirrh Mountain open house. It was a great trip. Thanks to all who allowed us to visit with them. Kevin, Tiffany, Tara and Lacey's kids at Robinson Lake Park, outside of Moscow. I won't try to name them all. I remember seeing similar pictures about 25 years ago.

Summer fun. Braxton, Raya (crying), Koper, Weston and Kanyon. (Braxton and Kanyon get their muscular build and dark complexion from their dad).

BYU-Idaho campus: totally deserted on this weekend except for Clint and Jen.

You can see how excited our kids were to visit each temple.
