The sweet part came later as Kimberly gave us our 9th grandchild, a sweet baby girl with the name Kamri Leigh Carroll. Born on May 15th at 10:50 p.m. She weighed in at 7 lb. 6 oz. and was 22 3/4 inches long. Wow! Where did that height come from? The nurses were all saying that she would be a super model and Jason is banking on that! She was posterior so her face got a little banged up on the way out but she is darling anyway. Here are some cute pics to enjoy:
Kimberly still working hard after 12 hours of labor.
The finished product!
Mama and her new baby.
Another daddy's girl.
Natalie witnessed her first birth and she's thinking adoption sounds pretty good now!
The proud grandma.
Papa with his princess.
The cute family of four now!
Isn't she sweet?!
A day of deep sadness, a day of pure joy. A death, a birth, and the circle of life continues according to our Heavenly Father's plan. I'd like to think that Joey and Kamri passed eachother on their way in/out of heaven and he was able to give her some tips on how to keep her papa and grandma in line. We're gonna need it so we can all be together again someday. Until then we say goodbye. Gone but not forgotten. We love you Joey and we love you Kamri and welcome you to the family!

Congrats on the new little grand daughter. She is beautiful. Ditto on Joey we truly will miss him. Sterling as he was getting ready for meetings this morning said "I just can't believe Joey is gone" man it hurts but thank goodness we have the Gospel and the Atonement. We love you guys!
What a beautiful post, Paula. Okay, so I am sitting here crying! So happy for your family with that darling Kamri arriving, and so sad for the death of your good friend. Life just keeps on giving us ups and downs, and yes thank goodness for the gospel and knowing we can all be together again someday. Love your guts!!
That was a neat post. How crazy that both of those things happened the same day! Our heart goes out to you guys and the loss of your good friend. I'm glad I got to know him and you are right, he was a very neat man! I'm glad Kim finally gets to have her baby here on earth! Can't wait to meet my newest niece! She was almost the same as Annie! Annie was that exact height, but 7'4" instead of 7'6", how funny! She's gonna tower over Kins! Congrats on #9! We're so excited we're #10!!!
I'm so sorry about your loss. Kimmy's baby is adorable. Congrats on 9 grandkids! You'll be one busy grandma!

thank you paula,for your love and support. it is going to be a hard journey. I am dreading the day I finally realize my daddy is really gone. It still feels like he is just on vacation. I cant wait for the day I can see him again. Congradulations on your new beauty. I pray she walks steadfast with Christ in her new life and holds tight to the rod. Much love
