These where taken by Aly Williams Cook. She is so talented. These are just a few of my favorite. She gave me a CD with about 250 shots on it and I love pretty much all of them. Thanks Aly.

This one is edited for the internet but in some of the others it is a full body shot and my very favorite.
My very very wonderful friend Aly edited these for me and I am so thankful to her. She is going to take our family pictures when we go home to Orem. I am going to post some pictures she took of Eliza so you can all see how wonderful she is. If you want to use her I will put you in touch. She is a steal to.
Dallin with his buddies at the swim/miniature golf birthday party.
Dallin's birthday cake. I accomplished my goal at least for that day I was the best mom, and according to my kids the worlds best cake maker ever. 
BEFORE This is the day I checked into the hospital to be induced. Above are the things that I will defiantly not miss, but this is what I get for the sacrifice. Well worth it and I would do it all over again. (just not soon.) He has been a long time coming and our whole family is so excited to finally have him here. He was worth the wait. AFTER!!
Spencer Reid Codner born on August 28th at 4:11. He weighed 7lbs 5 oz., and was 20 inches long.As moms know we all go in with a birth plan. Mine is I know I am tough I have nothing to prove we all go home with the same prize in the end so I like to do mine comfortably. Lets just say I had an epidural for a total of 33 minutes. It was pointless and it was not my birth plan. At least I can laugh about it now. 
Big brother and couldn't be a bigger help. 
Eliza is finally a Big sister. She loves him as long as she doesn't have to change a diaper and he doesn't puke on her.
Dallin has had his hair long and shaggy since his first birthday. Everybody always asked (especially some grandmas :) when he is going to get a real boy hair cut. Well I kept my word. I have always said that it would stay how I wanted until Dallin wanted something different. Well he finally voiced an opinion he wanted a mohawk and we compromised on a short one. A fauhawk. He looks very handsome. I pretended to cry through the whole thing, he kept telling me hair grows and that I had to be strong, that he was tiered of the same thing for 8 years. All while rolling his eyes at me. The first time he looked in the mirror he laughed. It was a big shock. However he loves his hair. We couldn't even get him to go swimming the next day because he didn't want to mess it up. Hats off to Aunt Rach for a job well done and making Dallin very happy.
