Meet the newest member of the family

Here are some pictures! Details of labor and delivery will follow later, because I'm tired!! I love you all and we can't wait for you all to meet Tyler Robert Backus.

Rexburg Babies

Here is Nicole at 23 weeks. Yes. I wrote 23 weeks, it was no typo.

Here is rounded me at 17 weeks (almost) and Nickle. Don't worry folks, I don't feel bad about it. We just have very different bodies and my body is spring loaded after already having 2 babies! But I did make the picture smaller, so just don't zoom in or anything!

Here are your Rexburg cousins and grandchildren! They can't wait to meet you next year!

We love you!

Home Sick

Hey guys! I have been feeling a little home sick lately and its been a bummer. But then today I was looking through my camera and found this video. Hearing everyone in the background and seeing Carter made me feel closer to home! Love you all so much and miss you tons!!!

I wanted to let you guys know that tickets on Delta are $69 from PHX to SLC... come on, who's going to be here with us ata the airport when Elder B gets home. PLEASE COME!!!! (No, Mom did NOT put me up to this... it's purely selfish.) Any takers?
***Mom, can you post the Christmas names please?***

Ode to Nicole

Here's to Nicole who was solita this trip. We're so glad she was able to come! We missed ya Jon!
I was going through my pics and have so many fun shots of NeeKole.

This makes me laugh so much. Sorry it's a bit blurry.

Nicole watching the swimmers with her big bro Bryan.

Poor Nicole, no one wanted to go swimming at the time she did, so it was just her and Shamu out there for a while. I think everyone decided to go just as she was ready to get out. :(

Nicole not feeling so well.

Bonding with the Blakester at the dolphin show.

Nicole, the beauty of the sea!

You sure know how to spice up a trip Nicole! We love you!

We love you guys!!!

Hey all, We just wanted to tell you all how much fun we had in Texas. It was SO much fun being together as a family (minus Bradley and Jon who were SORELY missed!!!). I must say my favorite part of the weekend was the late nights we spent chatting. (that and getting splashed by dolphin water.) I can't wait until everyone moves back (that includes you, Ben and Jess!!) Christmas is going to be SO much fun!!!!
That brings me to my next order of business. I got the Delta thing this week with the specials and tickets from SLC to PHX are only $79 (each direction) so get yer tickets, ya'll!!! B-Rad's getting home on September 25th and we all need to be there for it. If you REALLY loved him... :) Just kidding but I thought I would tell everyone who is thinking about traveling to and from any time soon to check into the Delta tickets. They are on sale between Aug 9-12.
PEACE!
