The Day we Welcomed Shelbi Elizabeth...


Now, we are a family of six! Love our sweet children! :)

On 1/31/11, We welcomed another precious daugther~Shelbi Elizabeth!
She weighed 7lbs. 4 oz. 19 1/2 inches long; the morning started out at 6:30am, water broke at around 8:30 am, was in labor for about 1 1/2, epidural, right side numb and left side could feel everything. Not fun at all, but Shelbi was ready and with one push she was born a little after noon! I was so drugged and shocked at how fast she came that I can hardly remember everything after that. All I can remember is seeing her be put on my chest and looking at her for the very first time and feeling so completely in love and overwhelmed at the same time.


Moments after you were born!


Me and my sweetheart welcoming another daughter into this world!


Dr. Waterman has delivered three out of the 4 Biggs children and all my sisters kids, proud moment for our very special doctor needless to say she is a part of our family! Love her!


My two very precious daugthers! Love my girls!


My little sister Mindy is an amazing seamstress and covered my entire car seat with this amazing fabric! I absolutely love it, Thanks Jo so very much!

Needless to say, after the drugs wore off I truly was filled with so much joy, love and an overwhelming sense of peace that I have my family here on this earth. I will never forget the moment they wheeled my bed to the third floor and I saw my other three kiddos~Brayden, Sharlee and Luke and them running to my bedside and yelling "MOMMY" MoMMY" my eyes filled with tears. It was a beautiful moment and then being able to see them hold Shelbi for the first time was so precious and dear to my heart. I have my precious children here and I'm so thankful for my Heavenly Father for blessing our family with another sweet and healthy baby girl!


She is now a little over a week old and I am relishing in all the special moments that I know will go by so quickly, Here are some pictures of our baby girl Shel Bel!


Precious little girl!


Shelbi~ Pretty in pink!

Shelbi didn't like her bow too much! :) The day we went home!

I'm so very thankful for my sweet friends, my parents, my family, my loving and supportive husband, my sweet children who have been so helpful, an amazing doctor, and my amazing sisters! You have been there for me through the entire process and continue to show your love and support to me! I don't know what I would do without you in my life! Until next time...

"WE BELIEVE"

13th Article of Faith: 2011 Youth Mutual Theme

We believe in being honest, true, chaste, benevolent, virtuous, and in doing good to all men; indeed, we may say that we follow the admonition of Paul—We believe all things, we hope all things, we have endured many things, and hope to be able to endure all things. If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things.

I absolutely love this year's mutual theme, it is encouraging, uplifting, gives you spiritual strength, and it truly is a testimony of what we believe as members of the church. This week we had our YW New Beginnings and decided that the theme of the evening was going to be centered around "We Believe" taken from the 13th Articles of faith. We made it so simple this year in which allowed the spirit to be there during our meeting, I have realized that to simplify is the best way!

We have a total of 10 active YW and are gaining 5 new Beehives by June of this year. So exciting, I started out with 6 active and that was over two years ago. Our ward and the YW's program is truly being blessed and we are so happy for our little YW family. These are the little gifts that we made for our YW this year:


These are called domino necklaces;

Materials used:
1 Domino
Zebra ribbon (Hob Lob)
Metal bead (Hob Lob)
Guerilla glue
Diamond glass
Turquoise jewel (Hob Lob)
Adobe Photoshop elements 6.0 image made by my sis Mindy Jo! She rocks!


Up close image of the necklace!

I truly love being a part of the Young Women's Organization and it has blessed my life tremendously! I have grown closer to my Savior and to the scriptures! I hope that throughout 2011 that share what "We Believe."

13 days and counting....

I'm so impatient lately, counting down the days, organizing, more organizing, planning meals for the next few weeks, planning, getting ready for New Beginnings next week, organizing the next six weeks for my counselors while I'm out on maternity, cleaning clothes, folding clothes, putting them away and organizing some more. Not to mention I still need to clean toliets, bathrooms, etc. Ugh, worst favorite things to do. It is totally crazy, but I'm loving it because it keeps my mind off of constantly thinking that I have less than a few weeks left.

Honestly, I'm so ready! I'm ready to meet this precious little baby, I'm ready to not worry anymore about the next day or the next, I'm ready to be a mommy of a newborn, I'm ready for my three kids to see and meet their sister, I'm ready to see what a family of six is going to be and feel like. I'm so ready!

I'm so happy that I have less than two weeks left! This will be a bittersweet feeling because we will be complete and the babymaking will be done and we will be a family of six! Wow! That just sounds crazy to me, but I'm so excited!

13 days and counting... Yay! :)

I'm so late with the Halloween pics....

Halloween is such a fun time of the year in our family. We all love to dress up and it was so fun this year. We made the very most of it since Halloween was on Sunday this year and celebrated with all our family minus Spence, Mom and Dad.

It's Been Way to Long.... BYU Weekend

I can't believe I haven't blogged since July, I apologize for not keeping up to date with all the Biggs happenings. I promise to do better, I hope that this is a good start. Yes, Football season has begun which means our household every Saturday is sporting the BYU and OU gear. I change my clothes twice every Saturday just to support both teams, haha! We love it and its fun to pass on the tradition to our kids! Luke is already saying Football and touchdown, its hilarious!

We spent a weekend in Texas with my sister and her family and was able to go to the BYU/TCU game. We had a great weekend and the kids had so much fun! Eventhough BYU lost, we made the most of it! Enjoy the fun pictures! Much love, From TK

Jon and I at the BYU/TCU game! So hot but so fun!

BYU is #1, except for that day! Jon loved being there though!

We Love BYU Football, GO Cougars!

Sharlee Kay Dance Recital 2010

Last fall we decided to enroll Sharlee in ballet dance class with all of her girlfriends from church. It was the perfect thing to start the adventure of extracirrcular activities. She had a bawl and ballet fit her naturally, she always looked forward to going. A few months ago was her first ballet recital and it was the cutest thing ever. The girls were called "Beautiful Blossoms" and looked like little fairies! Sharlee loved it so much! Here are a few pictures from her recital:

My Beautiful Blossom!


Me and Sharlee after her dance recital performance, so proud of her!
