Kourtney Ann

Here is a picture of Kourtney! This picture was taken with a phone, so it's not the best. I took her in for her two week appointment and she weighs 7lbs 6ozs. They grow so fast!

She's Here!

Kourtney Ann weighed 6lbs 15ozs and was 18 1/2 inches long. She was born June 15, 2009 at
6:52 am. She is healthy and so far such a good baby! (Keeping my fingers crossed that she continues to stay that way) Her brother and sisters love her, they can not stay away from her!
I am still waiting for my camera to work, so pictures will have to come later! Thanks to everyone for the help we have been given. It has been such a blessing!!

I am so behind!

I cannot believe May has come and gone. We only have two weeks to the day that the baby will be here. Unless, I go into labor early, not getting my hopes up. We are almost ready. I made Dan climb through the mess and get the baby clothes and blankets that I need. I still don't have the crib out so hopefully we can get it out soon.
The kids got out of school for the summer. Jackson started swimming lessons today. He told me he already knows how to swim. I said "the teacher will help you swim better." His response, "I am already the best." I had to laugh, he can't swim without a life jacket and it has only been the last year that he doesn't insist on having someone hold him up in the water. Some day it will be me reassuring him that he is good at something not the other way around. I had to think to myself, if only we could keep some of that childhood confidence and not have that wavering fear that keeps us from doing things because we might be embarrassed.
Kamrie starts summer school June 16 and I am sure she will be more than excited. She loves school and loves to be able to get out to do things. It is only for a half day. If only the other two could go with her. They would love it as well.
Well, Summer is here, hopefully we can do some fun things.

April!!

Where did it go! I haven't posted for awhile, I keep waiting for my camera to let me upload pictures, but unfortunately it isn't going to happen. Easter was a busy day for us, not only was it Easter, but it was Karly's 3rd birthday. So we decided to celebrate the night before. She wanted a princess cake. She had a blast. She got her very own pink and purple baseball bat and ball. She thought that was wonderful. She also got a baby, a baby seat, and little mermaid goggles. For some reason she loves to run around the house in swim goggles, so when Dan saw the Little Mermaid goggles he had to get them for her. She was in heaven.
We also set the date for the baby to come, June 15th, unless I am lucky enough to go sooner! We have been working on our basement to get more room for when the baby gets here. I am stressed out!! My crib, clothes, and blankets are all stuffed in the very back of the storage room and I cannot get to them. I asked Dan why he did this and he said, "Don't worry it will be done before the baby comes." Well, I would like it before the night before, so I may have to squeeze my way in and find them. I need to be prepared, he thinks I'm crazy! He says we have plenty of time, I am not so sure! Here we are in the first week of May and we are only on the texture!!
Wish me luck and hope I don't drive him crazy with my nagging!

Update!

Last Saturday we went to Disney on Ice! The kids loved it. We didn't tell them where we were going until we were in our seats waiting for the show to start. Jackson could hardly stand the suspense. He kept saying "Please, tell me our surprise." Karly loved the Little Mermaid and Tinkerbell. Kamrie loved Lilo and Stitch. I was very unsure of how Kamrie was going to react to the whole thing, but she really seemed to like it. She laughed and giggled through most of the show. I think she loved the loud music and all the lights. Jackson's favorite part was the cotton candy and the pirate ship from Peter Pan. He loved when the crocodile ate Captain Hook, such a boy!
After the show we went to the Mayan to have lunch. The kids thought they got to swim. Jackson said "Did you bring our swim suits?" I laughed and told him he didn't want to swim here because they jump off cliffs and there is not enough room to just swim around. Once we got inside, he was excited, but glad we forgot our swim suits! Karly loved the girls jumping and the boy climbing like a monkey. All in all we had a great time. I will post pictures later, as soon as I can get my camera working!

February a month for Celebrations!

February is a busy month in our family. Kamrie turned 7 on February 7th. It is hard for me to believe she is 7 years old, time flies and it is amazing how one minute they are babies and the next she is 7! Also, Dan and I celebrated our 11 year anniversary on the 13th. It has been a wonderful 11 years, but once again I am amazed at how time flies by. It does not seem like we have been married 11 years. Only I can't seem to picture my life without him. We have had a great time!
Love you Dan!

It's A Girl!!

For those who don't know, yes we are expecting baby #4!! We must be crazy! We are all very excited and can hardly wait until June. Anyway, we found out that it is going to be a sister. Yes, it is another girl. Jackson was disappointed at first, he really wanted a brother. I told him that he is special because he is the only boy in our family, out of the kids. He thought about that for a minute or two and said" I think I'll be ok." Since the ultra sound he keeps coming up to me and saying "Mom, I love you and I love that your having a sister baby." He can be such a sweet heart, when he wants to be. Karly thinks we should name her Dora, or Cinderella, or Hannah Montana! Good thing she does not get to make the final decision.
