Kristyn Anne

She is finally here! Thank you to my super high blood pressure I seem to only have the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy she came at 38 weeks too. She was born on 09/18/09 and 12:10pm. She weighed 6lbs and 15oz and was 19.5in long. She looks just like her daddy! This was truly an amazing delivery. Very painful, but lots of great rewards. My mom, my good friend Heather and Chris were all balling in the delivery room! So here she is!

So Sorry

I know I know my blog hasn't been updated in forever. It will be coming. My computer fried and I lost almost all my pictures, then my memory card in my camera went bonkers and my computer doesn't like to read it anymore. I don't usually like to blog without pictures, so I haven't posted anything in forever. So....when all starts to work again, I will post!!!

Zoo Trip

Last week was Braeden's spring field trip for preschool. Braeden was really looking forward to going this year. Last year he was in his wheelchair because he had broken his leg. He was so happy to be able to walk around and see all the animals up close this year. I know it's a hard picture to see, but his favorite thing in the whole zoo (it's a very small local zoo) are the otters. He just loves them. Since the weather was warm the Mountain Lions or Cougars were out enjoying the warm weather so we got to see them right up close. And as always the boys love the reptile house. I have to admit for a small zoo, their reptile house is pretty darn cool.

Finally A Post

I really hadn't realized that it had been so long since I had posted. I read everyone else's and never updated mine! So here we go. For Valentine's Day we took the kids to Build A Bear. It was Katie's first time there, and Braeden LOVES to go there. They had a blast, they lady stuffing my kid's stuffed treasures however looks less than thrilled. Katie decided on a soft curly bunny, and Braeden fell in love with the smallest bear in the place. No complaints here!! Aside from the line wrapped through, outside, and around the corner from the store (note to self, skip Build A Bear in V-Day falls on a weekend), we had a blast, and it was great to see the kids with their new friends!
