First Day of Life

Here she is on her first day of life. Olivia Claire arrived December 12th at 11:16pm. Weighing in at 7lbs 13oz and 21 in long she is officially our runt, and we couldn't be happier about it. She is an amazing baby. She is super mellow and a beautiful baby. We can't stop staring at her. She rarely cries and her brothers are so in love with her. Dylan of course is a good help, he wants to hold her and then he's done after about 30 seconds. But he needs to know where she is all the time. If he can't see that I'm holding her he asks where she is. Connor on the other hand could hold her all day. He can't walk by her without stopping to kiss her head and say "Hi baby girl". He's always telling me "our baby girl is so cute". And I have to agree. She is lucky to have these big brothers, for now anyway. :) We are all doing well, just trying to adjust to a life with another member among us. I must say everyone is doing a remarkable job. Kenny is the best help EVER. Cooking, Laundry, I did nothing but hold my new baby for the first week of her life. Kenny gets up with the boys, gets them ready and off to school, feeds them and plays with them. He's the best, I consider myself a lucky woman to have him.

Capitol Reef

I don't even know how many different posts I just did. I had over 500 pictures so I just picked a few and here it is. The last of our time in Kansas City, (we're home YAY!! Kenny doesn't get to come home for another 9 days though)and some stuff when we got home. We had a Rees family reunion in Loa that most of my family made it to. We had a good time swimming and parading and just hanging out.Then we went to Capitol Reef and let the kiddos run around a bit. It was too hot and I'm too prego to do much hiking but it was really beautiful there and the kids had a good time chasing lizards around anyway. Good times.

Summer Time

We got to spend the last part of our time in Kansas City with Janae and Kolbie. Connor is OBSESSED with Kolbie, thinks she's the best thing ever. Hopefully that will carry over to his own baby sister. But I'm pretty sure I am Kolbie's favorite person. (ok I'll exclude her parents for courtesy :))

Summer Time

The boys favorite thing was the pool in KC. It was an awesome pool too. Especially on sundays when Kenny could go too. The boys are sporting their Euro swim trunks from aunt Sarah. They love them, and they're super cute in them too.

Summer Time

Dylan and Connor both had birthdays in July. For Dylans we were home and he had a few friends over to party. They decorated cupcakes and played on the slippin slide. For Connors we were in Kansas City and we had a party with Kenny then went to the petting zoo later on. We also got together with most of the Cox cousins (Kolbie was missing) for a picture, wow it even turned out. Connor got the cowboy digs for his birthday, best gift ever.

A Girl??!!!!!!


So I totally prepared myself for a boy. Three boys, I was going to go gray very early. Then she says I think this is a girl. A Girl?!! Really? Then I see it, her little girl parts, and they're AWESOME,just like the rest of her. YAY!!!! A girl. We are SOOO totally psyched. I can not wait to meet this little person growing inside of me. I wonder what she'll be like and what she'll look like. (she better have at least one of my features) I have a feeling she will rock our little boy world to its core and I can't wait. I have never been so excited to shop in the girl section and make little pink (maybe purple :) )blankets to wrap her up in. I can't believe it!!

Kansas city

We have Arrived!! ok it was a while ago but now I am finally documenting it. I even remembered to do it backward so the newest pictures are last. Yay for me. Anyway this is the boy's summer room and outside our apartment flying kites, they were awesome. And playing in the sand volleyball court. Love sand playing, HATE cleaning up after it. I don't understnd why little boys have to pack it into every crack, crevis, and pocket before they're done.I had a sand box in the tub when they were done and I'm still washing it out of their hair. Punks. Anyway it's nice here, tons to do and now it's getting hot, and humid so we're glad the pool is finally open.

Science City

This museum was awesome. Everything inside is to teach kids about science. These places are the best part about leaving for the summer. The kids had a BLAST and Kristen and I were entertained as well. Good times.

Park

We trecked through a jungle to find this place. Then discovered there was a much easier route. Huge park with an awesome leash free dog area. The boys kept suckering people into letting them throw their dogs balls into the water to retrieve. Since Roky is far from interested in fetch.
