Kloe's Little Friend

My friend Jessica came over yesterday with her new little girl. She was born only four hours after Kloe weighing 7 lbs 9 0z. a very normal size but look at how much smaller she is than Kloe. She has such a cute little head. I hope Kloe slows down soon, I want her to stay little for as long as possible.

Aren't they sweet!

Kloe's new trick

I decided to try out our Bumbo chair that Aunt Lisa gave us. It was so funny to see Kloe sit in it. She didn't like it too much, hopefully soon she will. Also, take a look at that hat that Adam made her (I had to finish). It's a little small so I'm working on another one. Got to love the big head.

I had to throw this one in for Adam. We love you daddy!

Some Pics From Kloe's Photo Shoot

Here are some pictures of Kloe at one week. My cousin Cassey took them. Thanks again for doing that for us. It's crazy how much they change in just a few weeks. We are planning on taking some more this weekend, hopefully she will cooperate more this time.

A Thanksgiving to Remember

I hate having to have you child hooked up to all kinds of monitors. It's sad.

Kloe had her own little crib but liked being in the other bed. Imagine that!

All the little helpers concerned for their little sister.

She still looks cute even in a hospital gown.

Many of you know that we got to spend thanksgiving at the hospital this year. On Tuesday we took Kloe into the doctor because she had a fever and wouldn't eat anything for 24 hours. I was expecting them to tell me it was a virus or something and be on my way. No instead they ran a bunch of test, including a spinal tap, and admitted us to the hospital. Luckly all the tests came back normal and we were able to come home on thanksgiving. It was not the way we planned to spend our thanksgiving, but I'm grateful that we are all healthy. Thanks for all your help, prayers, and love for our family during this time. We know we can always count on family. Also, when we weighed her on Friday (just 3 weeks old) she weighed 11 lbs 3 oz. She has moved into 3-6 month clothing. Only Kloe would gain a pound in a few days even being sick.

Kloe's two weeks

I took Kloe to her two week check up and she is now a big 10 lbs 2 oz and almost 23 inches long. That puts her at 90% for her weight and 97% for height. I hope she slows down. She doesn't seem like a newborn at all. I don't want a toddler before I have to.

Kloe's first Sunday at church. We just went to sacrament.

Here are some pictures of our life in the last week. It has been fun having kloe a part of our family.

Happy 5th Birthday Kaden!

Look at that handsome five year old. He is so big now.

We just had a family party. We went to Chuck E Cheese and out to dinner. We also went to the store to let him pick out his birthday present. It was simple but he loved it.

Kaden wanted a Batman cake so this is as good as it was going to get.

This was the toy he picked out. It's a play dough ice cream shop. I remember playing with this when I was little. The boys think it's the coolest, just as I did years ago.

I can't believe my little boy is five already. He has grown up so fast. Before I know it he will be in kindergarten. I'm so proud of the child he has become. He is sweet(most of the time) and kind to those around him. He always is willing to share and help others. He is obedient and tries to do what is right. He is a great big brother to Kyle and Kloe. We love him and are thankful that he is a part of our family.

Kaden's birthday chaos

Kaden was jumping on the couch with a friend and this was the result. Of course the day before pictures. What can I say he is a typical five year old.

kloe is one week old

Kaden just can't get enough of his little sister. we all eat sleep and drink Kloe. She is definently the little princess.

We have been having so much fun with a little girl.

Kloe's photo shoot

My cousin Cassey takes great baby pictures so we had her take some of Kloe. You can view some of them on her blog. Just go to her link under our friends (Cassey and Jared) and then under her friends click on my photo blog. Thanks again Cassey for taking the pictures.

More Pictures of Kloe

Here are some pictures of the first week of Kloe's little life. It has been a good week. I love having her be a part of our family. It feels like she has been a part of our family forever. Thank you to everyone who helped this last week. Thank you mom and Diane for coming from California to help for the week. I know I would have lost it by now without your help. Also thanks to Uncle Jim and Aunt Caryl for watching the boys while I was in labor. The boys still talk about going to the Dinosaur Museum.
