OH BABY BABY! 20 TOES & 20 FINGERS

We are so grateful that these 2 little boys are here and they are beautiful and healthy. After many tears, dozens of pregnancy tests and lots and lots of faith and prayers & through many miracles Taylor and Braxton have been sent to us by a LOVING Heavenly Father. We will never take their little lifes for granted. We have loved them since day 1 in a petree dish. Thank you for doctors who have found a way for our little girl Ashley, and loving Daniel to bring these 2 boys into this world. They are Ready to be the BEST they can be as Parents. Heavenly Father can trust them to take care of two of his Heavenly Boys.
This is Braxton weighing in at 6 lbs. 4 oz. His cheeks are a little chubby, but he has the long toes and fingers also. He is already nursing well too.

This little guy is Taylor weighing in at 5lbs.3 oz. Justin was not sure on length but about 18-19 inches long. His fingers and toes are definately Hatch's. Long and skinny. Enough to reach around a basketball. He kept his eyes open for quite awhile just looking around. He was checking out his daddy and mommy.






Taylor Daniel Hatch and Braxton Michael Hatch have arrived!!! May 30th, 7:55 am within seconds of each other. Dad is flying high and mom is recovering very nicely.

Elder Justin Merrill

We took Justin to the MTC on Wednesday. What a wonderful place for a mom and dad to leave their son. Heavenly Father's Spirit is so strong there. It was not too hard for me to leave him at all. A few tears and good byes and he was off. He didn't even look back. Good for him. I was so proud of him. He will be leaving for the Ukraine on July 24th. I can't wait to get his first letter.

Happy Planting To You!

Kamdon love the dirt. He loves to eat it too.

Justin running the bob cat with his broken wrist. Chad using Todds big old tractor.

As most of you know I love to garden or more like it just play in the dirt. There is nothing more relaxing to me than to dig in the dirt and be out in the sunshine and the fresh air. Our home is on 2 acres and it is more than one city girl can handle. Mike bought me my own little Rototiller last week and it is A Little Bit of Heaven. I love that thing. I can dig up dirt so Fast. The boys are working very hard on moving dirt in and around so I can add onto the back end of our yard. I need more flowers and more garden area. I have not tried to drive the front end loaders because I am scared I would Love It and Want One of my Own. For now I can handle the boys using the Big Toys. I can not wait to Plant My Favorite Zennia's and as Always my Loving Marigolds and Petunias. Last year my Food Garden was a great Success so I'm going to Follow the Prophet and Plant Another Garden (that we actually can eat). I'm on my way to get more flowers and some Good Old Stinky Fertilizer. Have a Happy Day Planting To You!
