Without Z, Ike would not be here.
Our little Zadok had a big hand in bringing his baby brother to us.
When I first met Hannah, Z and I were at a the Birth Parent Pamper Night*. I was there not looking to find our next potential birth mom but just so that Norma could have Zadok there and for him to meet/flirt with all the other birth moms there (scary how good he already is at this). ;)
Zadok was there putting the moves on all the girls; making eyes, smiling with all his teeth, and then there was Hannah. He went straight up to her and gave her the biggest grin he has. Amazing the skills he has to get noticed and cause a stir, he was not even 11 months old on this night.
She was a goner and that is how I met Hannah.
I learned that she was due in June and that she had already chosen a couple but they had recently become pregnant with twins and so she was looking again. She didn't waste any time and started asking me questions right away about Steve and Zadok. And the rest I guess, they say is history....and here we are!
Zad and Ike with my mom. She was here for a week and got to stay and play with Z while we were in the hospital; she was such a huge help.
Ike meeting his Mesa Dutton cousins. We are so glad to have them so close to us. Aunt Jenny has become one of Z's favorite people and every time he sees her he wants her to hold and cuddle him.
Elizabeth and Kayla are great babysitters and Blake and Zadok have recently been great wrestling buddies. Soon we will have 4 little wrestling boys between us! Four wrestling boys....hmmmm, somehow that seems very familiar. I love it.
We were so happy to have my dad and my brother Mac down for the weekend and the signing. This looks good on Mac, huh?
He is newly engaged and will be married to the beautiful Carissa in August (good month to be married, I must say). Let's see, if he gets married in August....
Aunt Laurie, what would we have done without her this last week? She played with Zadok, hung out with Steve while I was in the OR with Hannah, stayed and helped all through the signing. Of course loving on my two boys the whole weekend too.
Two boys! I love saying that!

AHHH! I loved reading this. We are so, so, so happy for you guys! Thank you, Hannah, for making it possible! And I love that Z gave her his super flirty grin. He is such a little stud. His brother, Ike, will follow in his footsteps I'm sure! Little charmers. When things slow down, we'd love to come over and see you guys! I am definitely bringing dinner and anything else you need. Allen's great at cleaning if you need that. :) Haha! Love you guys!!
Ang, I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. I am so happy for you! You look so happy! I wish I could be there to experienc all of it!
I know this is totally personal to share on this venue, but I just wanted to say my one thought while reading this is that it is worth the wait. Everything Heavenly Father has in store for us is worth the patience and waiting.
Thank you for your example and all the love. I can't wait to see you in July. Love you!
Absolutely precious! This is so exciting! I love the updates on your two boys!
The path you are on is mighty beautiful. I am happy for you.
Congratulations, I think it is so great that Zadok has a brother to play with and grow up with. I am a little bias but boys are the best. I can't wait to come down and meet him when i get the chance.
Hooray! I love that Z is a big brother. The pictures are absolutely priceless. I am so happy for you. Wow, wow, wow. So much love!
Congratulations on your new little one! The pictures are absolutely beautiful. MMM I can't wait to meet them! Will you be coming to the family reunion in July?? If not, I think a pit stop to the valley is in order!
