Meet Kate

Our little sweetie arrived June 18th. She was 6 lbs 5 oz and 19". She wasn't growing anymore and my placenta was starting to "poop out" as the Dr said, so no more waiting. She is perfect and petite with a good amount of dark hair on her little head. Ava loves having a real dolly to play with, but she is a little rough, she likes to go for the eyes. Gage is having a hard time adjusting with another sibling in the house. He has been a little stinker this past week. Mom is doing good, just trying to keep up. I love getting the little baby smiles while she sleeps and how
she just snuggles up perfectly on my chest. Just makes you want to hold her all day.

Guessing Game

What do you think?
It would be fun to hear from everyone as to what you think will happen hopefully sometime soon. But after Saturday - Lance comes home from scout camp then.

I am due June 17.

WHEN WILL THE BABY COME?
Day
Size of baby

Gage was 5 days late 7lbs and Ava was 5 days early and 8lbs. So who knows?

I washed a window and some blinds today, I am trying to decide if that is nesting or bored.

Fishing

We took the kids fishing to the Lower Stillwater Ponds. I really had to talk Lance into going, but he was the one that had the most fun fishing.

Hogle Zoo

Kira and Jackson (cousins) came up to SLC from SG so we decided to join them at the zoo. The kids all love playing together. Ava enjoyed the animals more than Gage did - Gage would rather climb rocks, run and play on the playground.

David came with to help out - he is a great bbsitter, Thanks!

MOVE!

Gage caught on camera being a bossy big brother.






Aren't I a good sport

Painting... Again

Gage likes to paint pictures, Ava likes to paint her body.

Driving Silverado

First Trip to Sandwash this year! Lance was excited to ski although the water was really cold the air was hot. David and Kristi went with us. David skied and Gage and Ava both went for a swim too.

Mini Vacation

Gage and Ava got an overnight vacation in PG with my family while Lance and I stayed in Midway for our 8yr anniversary. They always love staying there and Gage wanted to stay for 8 days, sorry bud. I am lucky they have somewhere to go.

Kristi loaded up this mermaid pinata for their birthdays. Now Gage is asking me to make him a monster truck pinata, I haven't done it yet.

I like to move it-move it!

Horse rides with Grandpa and Oreo. Gage went on a long ride up the mountain. He is our little cowboy and likes to call himself Jessie James.

Big Babies

This picture came up on my screen saver slide show the other day and I said "Wow! Ava was a big baby!" I know she was big, but you forget what newborns look like. This was the day she was born. Look at that chin and cheeks! It is amazing to me that babies ride around all squished up in your belly. Some say I don't get very big, but there was enough room in there for a 8 lb 10 oz baby. I felt like I was carring around a big full water balloon about to pop. I am hoping #3 isn't bigger than she was.
