What has Zoey been up to?

Insight into her first few weeks of life...

Three days old and all dressed up for her cousin's baptism.
Defending herself against her very helpful big brother.First mani pedi party with mom. She really is yawning and not crying.First bath with daddy. She seems to be a fan so far.All clean and warm in her pretty pink princess robe.Of course there has been sleeping but it seems to be getting less and less these days. I forgot how nice the first few days are when they sleep a lot!
Lots of quality daddy time a night.Zoey at 2 weeks old. Already up to 7 lbs 7 oz.

Lil Princess' Arrival

So I am finally getting around to posting Zoey's first day even

though I should be doing laundry.

Good Times with big brother

Those of you that frequent this blog have heard this song loads of times. Apparently, so has Kyler.

I am still laughing. For those who want a refresher of what it is click here: Mahna Mahna.

The Baby is here and has a name....

She arrived naked and nameless, but her parents finally got around to fixing both.

Zoey Sophia was born 6lbs 11 oz, she was 19.5 inches long. Monica went in around 12:30 and delivered at 7:27 p.m. officially. It was an amazing delivery. Monica made it look so easy. She was up and walking around the next morning.

Here are some pictures, but many more pictures are coming!

Tummy Shots

With less than 2 weeks to go I am giving everyone a glimpse at my current condition.
This baby definitely looks DONE to me. Given that Kyler was a surprise 3 weeks early I'm not used to these last few weeks of the waiting game.

Kyler's First Snow (he remembers)

I'm sure like every other mom, I couldn't resist bundling up Kyler and letting him go play in the snow last Sunday. He tried to throw snowballs at the neighbors dogs (which I'm pretty sure Blake started) and pushed his lawnmower around on the deck.
The next day he was able to jump on the wet trampoline in what little snow was left. He absolutely loved it. I'm excited for more storms to watch him play in!

Bethany Wedding Reception (photos to come)

Yes another Bethany post. It is official, Bethany is no longer part of the dating scene. It was so wonderful to see her so happy all beautiful in her wedding dress.

Kyler had a great time with the buffet taking eclairs from Grandma.

I was so excited to catch up with some of the girls as well. Sara was in town from Oregon and Nellie seems as fabulous as ever.

Pampering Myself

As part of my birthday present, Blake gave me a gift card for a maternity massage at the Sego Lily Day Spa. IT WAS FANTASTIC!! I told him we might have to add that to our budget as a monthly expense. Thank you so much babe!

Monica's Birthday Part 2

So after rescheduling 2 or 3 times we finally went out to Tepanyaki for my birthday dinner back on the 22nd. Kyler was sick the week after my birthday when we were originally going to go and then he pasted it on to everyone else in the family. It is one of those places where they cook up your food on a big grill in front of you with all the spatula waving, smoke and fire.

Cody trying to catch the shrimp. He actually was a lot closer than it looks. This shot was after it bounced of his nose. Hee Hee I think Blake was the only one to catch it.
I thought Kyler might enjoy the show but holding chopsticks was about as animated as he got. Little did we know he would wake up at 2 am the next morning with a 103 temperature and be miserable for the next week with hand foot and mouth disease. For those of you who don't know what that is or your kids have never had it, be very very grateful!! The poor kid couldn't eat for a week because the inside of his mouth was covered in open sores. He also wouldn't take naps and never slept longer than 2 hours at a time at night, which means mom and dad didn't sleep either. I'll just say that week wasn't the best at our house.

My Bethany is getting married!!

I am so excited for Bethany!! We have been friends since about the third grade and she is such an amazing person. I am so happy she found such a great guy that supports her in all her adventures.
