Grandchild #19.....Grandma Mary with baby Nixon and Daddy.
Nixon Banks Shumway was born on November 4, 2009 at 4:56pm. We delivered at Banner Gateway and of course our OB was our favorite Dr. Guzman who has delivered all three of our boys. My mother was watching the boys while Alan, my mother in-law Mary, and my sister Bekah were in the delivery room. The delivery was picture perfect and Nixon was a healthy 8 lbs 7 oz and was about 20.5 inches. He looks just like his brothers and it is amazing to a family of five already. We are so grateful for such a healthy beautiful boy and thankful full for all the amazing help that we received from our family and friends!

Kadens 3rd Birthday party.
Last Saturday we celebrated Kaden's 3rd birthday at the Mothers Nature Farm in Mesa. Grandpa and Grandma Shumway were in town, several families from our Cooper Ward, and a few friends from our gym and of course the Parker family. We had so much fun riding on a tractor, decorating pumpkins, and best over watching Kaden open his Bumble Bee Transformer. Our little Kaden is getting so big and so over joyed that he is apart of our growing family.

What our days are like in the Shumway house.....
After breakfast we head to the gym for the boys to interact with lots of other kids and mommy gets to make her spinning class. Continuing to work out while pregnant has given me the energy I need to keep up with the boys, thats for sure!!
We wake up and start immediately to play.
When it isnt 115 degrees we like to be outside and eat our lunches.
Puzzles are always fun for Kaden especially when Jack isnt hiding the pieces.
We get to build a castle at least a couple times a day.
Going swimming is the thing to do I just cant keep thier suits on!!
The boys eating a bannana after naps.
After dinner we then have to patiently wait for a our favorite daddy in the whole world to come home from work. Tomorrow we will do it all over again!!
