Well, unfortunately we do not yet have pictures of Adam and Kerri Kimball's latest addition but here is his information:
October 28, 2007 (Shannon aka Niecy turned 3 on October 27!)
Frederick Brian Adam Kimball
Almost 20 inches
6 1/2 lbs. according to Adam
He was named after his grandfathers and father.
He will be called Derick (as in FreDERICK).
A Quote-
Sierra: Does he have hair?
Adam: He has more hair than me.
He wasn't due until November 18th- his aunt Lexi's birthday- but Kerri was induced early because of preclampsia. She was able to have a VBAC but was unable to have an epidural due to the preclampsia. I think I got that right...She was given Nubane but by the time she had to push it had all but worn off. Go Kerri!!
Congratulations to Adam, Kerri, and Shannon Kimball :-)
As soon as pictures are available we shall post.
It may be a while.
They still do not have a computer.
Until then...or next time!

The Clan is Complete and More
Well...we haven't updated in a very long time. Since then a LOT has happened. Here's a quick sum up of everything. So after Kerri went to Germany she found out very quickly afterwards that she was pregnant. Kristen was about a month pregnant when she left. Very Father-of-the Bride only not in the same house- thank goodness! Kristen found out that she was having another girl and Kerri and Adam found out that they are expecting a baby boy. Kerri and Adam also went to the temple for the first time with Shannon to be sealed as a family on September 1, 2007. Very exciting and we are all SO happy for them. On October 11 Kristen gave birth to Dani Kaye Clayton. She is the seventh and final Clayton baby to be born to Rick and Kristen. Kerri is due in November and would like any possible advice on how to relieve itching during pregnancy.
There's the last few months in a nutshell. Now on to Dani!
As stated, she was born October 11, 2007 at Orem Community Hospital. She weighed 7 lbs 2 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long.

After Kristen uploads the millions of pictures that she has taken this last week we will try to post them. The older kids are so funny with her though! Lexi loves her and tries to hold her every chance she gets and will lean over and kiss her as she holds her. Michael is either indifferent, unhappy, or very confused. He never wants to hold her except for that one picture at the hospital. He will occasionally go over and look at her though. Oh well...guess he needs more time to adjust.
As for the name....
Obviously it was the seventh baby and the sixth girl for us and we were having trouble thinking of a name that we like, hadn't already used, and was in no way a family name. Kristen has this thing about never re-using family names even if it's like your second cousin's great uncle or something unless you are actually naming the baby after that person. One night (before we knew if it was a boy or girl) she woke up and just thought "Danny/Dani" and immediately liked the idea because our home teacher's name is Danny and he has been the most awesome and best home teacher we've ever had and we love him and his family so much. We all agreed. So Dani ended up being named after Danny and he couldn't be any more proud about it as you can hear from their blog here: http://www.gunnellfam.blogspot.com/
After Dani had been established as the first name Kristen thought about the actor Danny Kaye because he had been one of hers and her father's favorite actors.
Hence Dani Kaye Clayton.
Here is a picture of Danny and Dani.
