Family is not an important thing ~ it is everything
New Years Eve was great. We went to a movie at the theater. After we partied with all the Orme side- eating dinner, making crafts, playing games and sleeping over.
Fondue dessert is so yummy and so messy. Chocolate, carmel, fruit, candy, donuts. What could be better? At least that's what all these folks think.
This is the first time Taylor was held by anyone except the nurses and us. Everyone is excited for Taylor to get big and come home.
This was taken December 26th. She is looking big and healthy- at least her Mom thinks that she is geting big. She is 4lbs 2 oz. today. She is taking a bottle but doesn't always finish her 1 oz. of milk. In that case, they put the leftovers through her tube. Taylor still breathes quickly and will most likely come home on oxygen. We are anxiously waiting her arrival.
Taylor's three fingers fit around the small part of Chris' pinky.
This has been are second home for the last two months.
While on bedrest I started cramping. The doctor was called. We waited for Chris to arrive and then I was taken to the OR. This is the delivery via C-Section. Taylor was breach so there was no other choice. When she came out there was no amniotic fluid at all. She was literally folded in half. She had bruises all over her from being so tight in my uterus. My placenta came out in shreds. The Neonatologist said that it was really good that she came out when she did.
Chris and I, on the other hand, need some help. This is the only move we remember from our "dancing days".
McKenzie is a flower.
Braden is Pooh and his cousin Brick is Tigger.
Aubrielle was "Fancy Nancy" and Paige was a bee. They are with their Grandma Orme.
Every year we have a Halloween Party at Grandma Orme's house. She has her house all decorated, a halloween dinner, a "witches brew" (homemade root beer) and halloween games and prizes. This is one of the highlights of our year!
This video clip is of the beach that was next to the condo in Huntington Beach. Watch to see our surprise while we were there. I love the beach.
Dora is the BEST show in Paige's world so think how elated she was to give Dora a big hug!!
You can't go wrong with Shrek!
Now, Sponge Bob tops the chart for ALL of my other four kids.
Curious George... yea we know that monkey too!
The only time I have ever got teary-eyed at the Shamu show. Braden is the luckiest kid around.
The Carousel- who would of thought that you could ride the carousel so many times and never get tired of it.

If you ever need Braden at Lake Powell check the top of the houseboat and you will find him catching all the fish in the lake!
All my kids love the slide! Even Paige went off it with Uncle Adam. (Sorry kids I only videoed McKenzie.)
The Hintze's had a family reunion up in Midway, UT at a cabin. I think there were about nineteen kids under the age of 10yrs. We had fun shopping, golfing and having a "Tea Party" with Grandma. Here is a peek of the girl party.
Paige was jumping on the tramp with her older brother Braden on Saturday, July 3rd when "snap". Down she went and off to the doctor Chris went. While we celebrated the Fourth with a BBQ and fireworks, Paige was getting x-rays and a splint. (The next Wednesday she got her cast put on at Primary Children's.)
Three days later, Tuesday night, Braden was swinging on the swings and decided to try a fancy trick to impress his friends and "snap" a buckle fracture on his wrist. We took him to get a cast on Wednesday morning and then took Paige to get her cast Wednesday afternoon.
