How could anyone think of school and working when you can be up here!

Our family got quite a surprise Sunday afternoon while at Grandpa Wheelwright's Birthday party. Jana's water broke and just as we were about to eat dinner. So while the kids enjoyed the party at Grandma and Grandpa's, Jana and I were admitted into Labor and Delivery at Logan Regional Hospital. We checked in around 5:15 pm and the baby was born just over two hours later. The baby was not due till February 22nd but this is the second time we've jumped the gun. Lexie Jo was six weeks early. This time, Baby #4 was five weeks early. Since Mom and 
Dad thought we still had some time to pick out a name, right now Baby #4 is being called Baby Wheelwright. She was born at 7:33 pm, January 24th. She weighed 5 lbs. 13 oz. and measured 18 inches. Both Mom and Baby are doing great. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
Friday night, January 1st, Riley and Dad decided to sleep outside in the loft of our shed. We'd never tested out our newer sleeping bags that are rated to -20 degrees. They tried to convince the girls to join them but with no success. The sleeping bags worked great even with temperatures in the lower teens overnight. Their already planning when to sleep out there again.
Christmas 2009 was so much fun for us as a family. Some of the highlights included riding the train to Salt Lake to see the lights on Temple Square. With UTA's Front Runner now going as far as Ogden, we were able to board there and ride it all the way into the Salt Lake train depot. From there it was a short ride on Trax's to Temple Square. It was the kids first time riding a train and they loved it. Temple Square was cold that night. Lexie loved seeing the statue of Christ for the first time. When she turned the corner and saw how big it was she just stopped and starred. She then tried to scoot down the walking ramp like a slide while we were leaving.
Wednesday November 25, we went to Salt Lake for the afternoon. We attended the Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert at the Energy Solutions Arena. If you've never see a Trans-Siberian Orchestra concert, you've gotta go. All week we had been telling the girls what the concert would be like. Ariana was excited, while Lexie was a little worried about the fire and pyro-technics. We shopped around the Gateway for an hour before the show. The kids insisted on walking through the water fountains, even though it was only 30 degrees. The concert 
was incredible! It was the first rock concert Lexie and Ariana had ever seen. Ariana said her favorite part was the rainbow colored lasers and when it snowed during the song First Snow. Lexie loved the final song, Requiem (The Fifth), when two of the musicians were lifted into the air on part of the stage. Riley who went for his second time, said his favorite part was when they set parts of the stage on fire. Mom and Dad's favorite is still the story from the song "Old City Bar." Some of the bands new songs were pretty good also. Hope they come back next year.
