Baby Shelby is here!!!

Our new bundle of joy is here! We had here on Thursday the 14th at 12:12AM and she weighed 6pds 5ou. She fell right in line with the other two girls. As you can see she has the dark hair as well, although I do not think it's as much as Kamree had. We finally named her before leaving the hospital, Shelby...although Kamree calls her 'baby coy'. This is Amber's little baby, whom Kamree associates all babies with. Kamree keeps saying "I want to hold it"...even though we keep pushing that her name is Shelby. Lexi loves the baby a ton. The first night home I woke up to a early morning feeding of 3 AM and Lexi was laying next to Shelby just watching her sleep, then she sat and talked with me until I was done feeding the baby. It's like Lexi wants to be there for everything and doesn't want to miss out. The girls have been all over Shelby, but they have been really good so far. No eyes poked out yet! It is for sure going to be an adjustment, but hopefully we get it down soon. Our family is doing well, we are just exhausted and trying to rest often.

Backyard Fun

Lexi went to Preston with my family for RODEO weekend. I can't believe we had to miss it this year, we were bummed. When Lexi got back, her feet and ankles had been attacked by mosiquitos. So here is a picture of her wearing two different shoes all day. She insisted on wearing her clogs, although the one foot hurt because of the bites, so she thought she was pretty smart to put a flip-flop on that foot. I tried to get her to were both flip-flops, but she is a stubburn 4 yr old.

Here is a picture of Kamree following EVERYTHING Lexi does. (Kam is climbing UP the slide rather than the ladder) I scored this swingset for only $50!!! and the girls have been having a great time on it, even though this means Kamree trying things she probably shouldn't! :) Since this day, Lexi and I have talked about what she can and can't do in front of Kam...like going down the slide standing on her feet!

At the lunch table the other day Lexi says to me "mom, we need to get some Oxi-Clean to get the stains out of our shirts" and I said "we have Oxi-Clean already, where did you get that from?" then she tells me she saw it on TV. I just had to laugh. I did not think we watched TV that much, but she is a sponge right now and taking everything in. I guess at least it was an advertisment for Oxi-Clean and not something else!!

My sister came and stayed with us for a week and we were able to spend time with my new nephew!! We had soo much fun and the girls loved holding the little babe. It definetly gave us a taste of what it will be like when our little one comes in a couple of weeks. We got out some of the baby stuff for Mckoy, like the bouncer. But as you can see Kamree thought it was for her. She keeps saying "Kamree chair" and wont let anyone else sit in it. She may have a hard time sharing some things with the baby, guess we'll deal with that when she gets here. I do wonder the weight limit on the bouncer, its almost to the ground when Kam is in it!!
Also we were able to get with the Dean family for some more fun on the slip & slide. Lexi actually went on it this time and enjoyed herself with her cousins. Having Bre'elle to watch helped her a bit to not be afraid I guess. I wish she would try things out more, but I realize its nice at times that she practices caution so I'm not worrying about her AND Kamree.
We have been a little bored lately stuck in the house. I am suppose to be 'resting' but its so hard when it is nice outside and the girls want to go play. But I scored big on a great deal for a swing set for the girls. So Mike got it set up in the back yard and the girls are in heaven and I can sit in the a/c house!! The park is just across the street but the sun is so hot and there is NO shade!!! We are finally realizing just how close we are to having our baby (just 2 1/2 weeks!!) So we are starting to get things ready. We still haven't fully decided on a name...any suggestions?
We are very excited to start this new chapter of our lives, and I am very excited to be done with this belly!! I can not wait to lay on my tummy!

Summer Fun

I just went home for the 4th of July because my sister FINALLY had her baby!! His name is Mckoy and it's nice to have a boy in the family for a change. He is the cutest baby and I can't wait to see him some more. He was in the NICU for a week so we didn't get to hold him too much, but he's home and well now. We went to the lake for the holiday and stayed in a cabin with the extended fam. Lots of fun and way hot, but the girls loved the water and the sand!! Here are a few pics of us with some of the Dean family a couple of weeks ago, Kamree chowing down on corn, and me being more afraid to cross the log then Alexis!! :)

Lexi's 4th Birthday

Lexi had two birthday parties: a fairy one with her fairy friends and one with family combined with Jeremy's homecoming party. She was spoiled and loved all the attention. I can not believe she is already 4, she is so grown up!

Hoagle Zoo!!

We went to SLC to see my brother get home from his mission. So we took the girls to the zoo. They loved it!! They had a great time together in the double stroller and enjoyed seeing all kinds of animals. We had a wonderful time. Then we went to the mall and played in the water while we waited to meet up with family.
