Zay-Zay

Mr. Isaiah is 1 week old now. After a couple of rough nights, little Zaya is finally enjoying his stay at his new home. Rachel likes to call him "little piglet" and Casey likes to call him "Zaya the Playa". At his recent doctor visit, Isaiah weighed in at 6 pounds. He feeds like a little pig and makes big messes for mommy and daddy to clean up. His cheeks are getting bigger and bigger every day. Every once in awhile we will catch Zaya with a great big smile. Zaya is full of surprises, and has already peed on Rachel, Casey, and the diaper bag. "Lil Zay Zay" loves to travel and never fusses in his car seat and stroller. He's looking forward to meeting his grandparents from California who will be visiting next week.

Isaiah Update

Baby Isaiah was brought home from the hospital on Monday. Isaiah and Mama were very glad to get out of the hospital and get some fresh air! Casey and Rachel were both very excited to bring him home. We weren't quite ready for Isaiah's first night home. Fortunately, Grandma Pieper came and stayed the night. After a belly ache from eating too much, he finally settled down around 4 in the morning so everyone could get some rest. He is a very well tempered baby and loves to be held and coddled. Mama and Isaiah are recovering quickly and are glad to be back home. Isaiah in his bassinet

Quick Update

He's finally here! Isaiah or "lil Zay Zay" was born Saturday night at 7 pm. Mom and baby are both doing great after 10 hours of labor. Isaiah was born 6 pounds 2 oz. and stands tall at 19.5 inches. He was born on his due date, May 16. We feel so blessed to bring such a little miracle into this world! More pictures to come of mom and baby. Check back soon!

Rachels B-Day Party

Rachel is now one year older, and one year wiser too. The photos that you see here are provided by Rachel's birthday gift, a brand new Canon camera! We celebrated Rachel's birthday at the Pieper home. We had Rachel's favorite meal and some good desserts and Casey even made a cake with his own hands.... Talk about progress. No store bought desserts on this special occassion. Rachel had an enjoyable birthday and lot of fun on her "Easter" birthday.

I call this picture, ..."Yin and Yang"...

Out on the Town

Sad, that some of our friends were leaving Rexburg, we decided to have a final party at Craigos Pizza. If you click on this picture, you can see Rachel's tummy...
Sad that his friends moved away, Casey decided to play some video games. If you click on this picture, you will see a handsome man... :)
