Welcoming a princess!!

Everything really started on the 4th of july. It was a fun day. We started with some fun with the kids in the little backyard pool to start the day off. Greg barbecued up some food and we all hung out and had some fun. After that we headed out to the Hernandez half of the family for some Carneasada. It really was a fun day being with everyone. That night we went out to upland with Lizeths family to watch the fireworks. We found a nice patch of grass to watch the fireworks from and relaxed. It was not long after the fireworks started that Lizeth started feeling contractions. We watched the rest of the show and then went home. We started timing the contractions to see when if it was time to go in. About 2:30 in the morning we decided it was time.  The baby was finally born at 8:08pm. It was a long and hard day but the outcome was really awesome. 

Here are a few shots from the days:
