We went to our Ward Bike Parade/Breakfast in the morning. Peyton rode her big girl bike this year. Even though she says "its hard to pedal with chicky legs." Next came the annual Leak Family 5k. Or as I like to call it "a huge reminder how out of shape I am." Then we had a BBQ and Kevin and Jeanne's. I didn't even get to see any fireworks. Zach stayed up with the kids to watch them and I came home to put Weston to bed. Oh well, there's always next year.

4th of July
Weston's Blessing
We blessed Weston on July 3rd. Surprisingly he was calm and quiet throughout his blessing and he didn't spit up on anyone! Jameson, Spring and Atticus, Alisa, Mark and Maela and Grandpa and Grandma and Allene were all in attendance. Alisa was able to write down the highlights of what Zach said in the blessing so we can remember.

Peyton's 4th Birthday
The day began with her favorite breakfast of mini blueberry muffins and the present from Mason, Baby All Gone. Then she wanted to get her ears pierced. She was really brave and only cried for a little while. Then we had a pizza/pool party, then cake, ice cream and presents with family later at the house. She is such a big girl!
Mason's Kindergarten Continuation
Mason is now a first grader! The kids were supposed to dress up like what they wanted to be when they grow up. His first choice was a monster truck driver but there wasn't enough time to grow a mullet so we went with choice number two...basketball player. (the kid behind him wants to be a Red Robin waiter when he grows up...so funny) I can't believe how fast he is growing up!

One Month Old
At one month old Weston weighs over 10 lbs. He loves his bath time and any naked time. He hates getting out of the bath, lotion rubs and his car seat. He is sleeping for a five hour stretch at night and is spitting up as much as Mason did, which is a ton!

The Newest Little Leak
I never know how many people really want to know all the details of the birth story. But I don't want to forget and this blog is mostly a kind of journal/scrapbook for family so here goes.
Here is the low down on the arrival of the newest Leak.
My labor was scheduled to be induced at 6:30 am on April 21st. We show up at the hospital and apparently there had been a baby boom overnight and there were no labor and delivery beds available. So they put me in a triage room until a L & D room became available. We thought this might take a few hours. It ended up taking about eight hours. They started my pitocin around 9 am but did so at a very low level because they didn't want me to end up delivering in the triage room. So even though I was having contractions, they are not all that painful yet. A little side note, the beds in the triage room are not meant to spend eight hours in. They are the most uncomfortable creations ever spawned from the devil. They finally moved me to a real room at 2:30 in the afternoon. Right away they gave me the epidural and broke my water. Breaking my water was quite a production because during the last trimester of my pregnancy I had developed polyhydramnios, which is an excessive build up of amniotic fluid in the uterus. At about 5 pm, they checked me and I was dilated to a five. I told Zach that this might be a good opportunity to run down to the cafeteria to get himself some dinner. Since I still had five centimeters to go, I figured I had a little while. Luckily he decided not to because about 15 minutes later, the nurse noticed on the monitor that the baby's heart rate was acting funny and came back to check me and I was at a ten and it was time to push! I pushed for about 15 minutes and even though the cord was around his neck, he came out pretty easily. Weston Aaron Leak was born at 5:43 pm and weighed 8 lb, 11 oz and was 21 inches long. Overall this was the easiest labor out of the three with the hardest and most uncomfortable part being that horrible triage bed. We are so excited to welcome this newest addition to our family.
