Kalli's Blessing

5-29-2010

We blessed Kalli on Memorial Day weekend. We figured it would be easier for people to travel with a long weekend. The day seemed a little crazy, so the only picture I got was of Kalli in her car seat. But you still can see her beautiful dress. We also have a crocheted blanket we use that day also.

What a beautiful little girl.

This is our attempt at a family picture. The button on my sleeve had got caught in Megan's hair so that is why she is crying. Kalli was crying and Ashlyn was just not interested in what was going on.

My brother and his family got Kalli this cute blessing bracelet. So pretty.

The whole clan.

Monkey see, monkey do

The title of my post says it all. I pumped for the first couple of months and every time I sat down to do it, Ashlyn and Megan thought they needed to do it to. It was too funny so I had to get it on video.

Ashlyn's Birthday

5-8-2010

Ashlyn's birthday was actually April 15, which was only 6 days after Kalli was born. There was no way we were going to have a party with a 6 day old baby, so we waited a couple of weeks. Thank goodness she was clueless as to when her birthday really was. We had a good time with all of our family.
I stole this cake idea off the back of a cake mix box. I thought it turned out pretty good.
Here's Ashlyn opening the gift that we as a family got her. Megan was so excited to give it to her. It is a wheel barrow and some digging utensils. Those girls love to dig in the bag yard.

Our First Injury

5-5-2010

I knew it was going to happen sooner or later, I just wasn't sure what they injury would be. Ashlyn was so enthralled with Kalli and her eyes when she was first born. I was in the kitchen and heard Kalli start wailing. I came around the corner and saw these next two images.
Such an innocent little face. But there's menace in those eyes.
Poor Kalli and the skin above her eyes. Ashlyn had tried to open her eyes and scraped the skin above her eyes on both sides. It looked worse in person.

It's Getting Crowded

This was pretty common when Kalli was just born. Ashlyn apparently thought Kalli needed some company in her little chair. It would always make me laugh when I would come in to the room and see something like this.

Sleeping the day away. I feel bad because I haven't taken as many pictures of Kalli as I did the other girls. I guess that's what happens when you are the third child.

Dressing Up

I'm not quite sure what these girls are dressing up as, but they sure look cute.

Kalli's Birth

I know am really behind in getting these pictures up, but 3 kids is a lot of work and I don't have much free time. I will post more pictures that we have taken since we have been home later.
I would say that her birth was the best out of all three. I pushed through 4 contractions and she was here. This picture was soon after her birth.

You can tell she had just got done crying in this picture. Kind of a pouty look.

I can't believe I am putting this picture on here. I had to go in to the hospital a day early because of my blood pressure and I hadn't had time to do makeup or hair before I left. The girls were so excited to come see Kalli.

Our three girls. Ashlyn was absolutely enthralled with Kalli. She didn't want to give her up.

I thought this picture was so sweet.

This is us getting ready to go. Of course, she didn't fit into anything. They are so tiny.

We are so happy to have her here. She is the best little baby.
We love her so much!
