Cole had his baby blessing!

Just after Nate gave Cole a beautiful blessing at the Tabernacle.

Sadie and Miriam Clift happened to be visiting Honolulu from Idaho and were able to make it to his blessing. It was so nice having them there!

Some of my girl friends: Kellie, Olya, me, Lieren, Sadie. All these girls are wearing heels and I'm wearing flats...that's why I look so short!

Daddy and Cole outside the Tab after the blessing! It was a little bright outside so Cole was having a hard time opening his eyes.

Some of the men who helped with the blessing: Heber, Eli, Lame, and Chandler. Heber actually was a little late and wasn't able to help, but he was there (right outside the doors!). Uncle Steele helped with the blessing but left before we could get the picture. The bishopric was also there helping. Lame served in Samoa with Nate and is from Tonga but is just in Hawaii visiting.

A day with the dinosaurs!

A dinosaur exhibit came to the Bishop Museum here in Honolulu and I was so excited to take Zak to see it!! We went with my friend Becca and her sons Bentley and Jackson. Zak and Bentley loved checking out the dinosaurs and REALLY loved digging for dinosaur bones and checking out the gift shop. The dinosaurs looked awesome, but there weren't quite as many as Becca and I thought there would be. The boys didn't seem disappointed though..so I was happy. While we were there they also got to check out a show in the planeterium....I had to duck out early to nurse Cole, but Becca was kind enough to stay in their with her boys and Zak. The part I saw was pretty boring, but Becca said it got a lot more exciting after I left.

My boys!!!

Day of Delivery!...swollen feet

He's here!

He apparently got up to go the bathroom and was too tired to finish pulling up his pants.

Bedtime is party time apparently for Zak.

1st bath!

I may have lit his candles a little too early. They were pretty much melted all the way down by the time we got to singing for Nate's birthday. He's the big 2-8. AND was accepted to medical school!!! We are so proud of him!!!

Zak turned 3!!!

Our Z-man turned 3 Jan. 6th! Poor kid got slightly jipped because I was so MISERABLY pregnant and Nate was super busy with his masters thesis presentation. But we managed to get him the 2 things he REALLY wanted which were chocolate cake and green ice cream (mint chocolate chip). Grandparents on both sides sent him super fun gifts and he also loved his balloons. At 3 years old Zak is loving dinosaurs, cars, trains, and is potty trained! He loves playing basketball and tackling with his dad and is an awesome helper when it comes to baking with me or setting the table for dinner. We sure do love him!

Our new baby boy is here!!!

This post is WAY overdue...like most of them have been. BUT, on January 19, 2011 we welcomed our baby boy Cole Steven Hogg to the world and our family. He came at 5:29 p.m. and weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces and was 21 inches long. Labor was quick and easy and we just love him to pieces! Here's a video of Zak meeting him.
