Kolt

It is kind of depressing to me trying to blog again.

I am just so far behind, I don't know how to catch up and most days it feels to overwhelming,

so I just don't do it.  Leaving me even farther behind. HELP!

I have had these pictures on my desk top for a few weeks now so I thought I 

better put them on the blog.

My little man Kolt.

He is a moocher.

Eats every 2 to 3 hrs.

The longest he has slept so far is 4 hours and he is 3 months on March 11.

I still need to take him in to his 2 month dr. appointment.  I am a slacker.

He loves to talk to me by making cute baby noises,

he smiles and laughs which just brightens my day.

He loves the bath.

If he is fussy, I just put him in the bath and he will sit and kick his little legs and moves his arms

for as long as I will let him.

 Our little football player.  

I am pretty sure Aaron sneaks protein powder into his bottle 

and is already having him do push ups.

check out those muscles.

grandpa's litte girl

Kali absolutely LOVES her grandpa.

She gets so excited when he comes to WA to visit us.

When he is here she wakes up early in the morning 

so she can spend some time with him before he leaves for work.

She squeals with excitement when he returns home from work

and loves when he chases her around the house and flips her around.

She loves to cuddle up with him and watch a movie, or even take a nap,

 (which we all know is the result  from watching a movie;)

This little girl LOVES her time with grandpa.

Kolt's baby blessing

Kolt was blessed on December 26th in Basin City 2nd Ward.

The same ward I grew up in.

Tamara one of my best friends growing up also blessed her little girl

and Shandiin blessed her little girl.

So with three baby blessings and two mission farewells, Blake Neilson and Michael Casper

the church was PACKED.

I had to move to the front of the chapel to hear Aaron bless Kolt 

since they speakers in the back

were not working. 

It was a beautiful blessing and Kolt slept the whole time.

We have a family pic I need to post but it is on my mom's camera, so I will get that soon and post it.

My new normal

I have three kids now.  THREE.  It will take awhile for me to get use to this.

For some reason this was really helpful when 

Joyce Rowley (My neighbor and I am a Laurel Advisor with her)

told me three was my new normal.

I guess it helped me realize this was my new life, 

things were not going to change or EVER go back to the way they were before.

My new normal.

Kali loves to carry Kolt around,

especially up and down the stairs.

I guess it makes her fill like a big girl.

Krew has now decided he is a strong boy and picks Kolt up when he is crying,

no I don't allow Krew to carry Kolt up and down stairs,

in fact I head toward Krew and Kolt in a dead sprint and soon as Krew picks him up.

I guess that is why I don't have pics of Krew walking and carrying Kolt,

maybe next time in my dead sprint I will grab my camera and snap a running shot,

we will see how that turns out.

 Hillary sent me these amazing swaddle blankets my aden&anais.

They can be used for so many different things.

I am never good at swaddling my babies for very long, 

but I have learned that when Kolt is really cranky 

if I just swaddle him and sway him he calms down and even falls to sleep after awhile.

blueberry pancakes

My kiddos are in love with these blueberry pancakes.

Especially little Krewzer, he asks for them almost everyday.

He likes to drown them in maple syrup.

Kali likes hers with whip cream on top.

just for fun

Grandma Tami sent Kali some money for her birthday and we went shopping.
Kali is now 5 so she shops for herself.
She knows what she likes.
She has her own style.
She got some new skinny jeans this cute green top and a new green wallet.
SHE LOVES GREEN!

She loves doing a peace sign in all her pictures now,

I asked her why and she said that is what all her friends do;)

I was playing with this photo and was using the clone tool, I accidentally made a second Kali and 

she loved it so much and wanted me to keep it that way,
I played a little more and ended up with lots of Kali's.
She loved it and said, "look at all my sisters."

I always wanted a twin or to be a triplet so I understand the appeal.

compare

It is always fun to compare the kids baby pictures.

Kali was born 4 days late she was 8lbs 1/2 oz and 21 1/4 inches

Krew was born one week early and was 7lbs 13 oz and 21 inches

Kolt was born one week early and was 7 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches
