Colton the pistol

Jonathan dragged me out to the gun range today, so i was a good sport and a crack shot.

Happy Birthday to Kirsten!

Kirsten's 3rd birthday was last Wednesday. I can't believe she's already 3! We had a little princess "party" with us and my mom.

Look at the beautiful cake I made and Kirsten didn't catch her hair on fire unlike me on my 20th birthday...

Colton's first week...

I'm back! Ok so I figured I better update everyone on the happenings over the last couple weeks...
It started a week ago Wednesday when I went to the doctor. The doctor said that she thought that I would go into labor in the next 24 hours and if I didn't she would be on call on Saturday so I could call her and come in to be induced. So my mom and I sat around for 3 days waiting for baby to make his appearance.

On Saturday morning I couldn't take it anymore so I called my doctor and she said I could come on in since the hospital wasn't too busy. So, of course, Jonathan and I headed out the door. 9 hours and 1 epidural later baby Colton entered the world. He weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces. Which I couldn't believe! That seemed huge! It's a good thing I didn't wait another week or I would've had a 9 pounder!

Jonathan went home that night and put those incredibly flattering pictures on here and then he brought Kirsten and my mom to the hospital the next morning before church. Kirsten was so happy to see baby brother. She was so sweet with him. When they got ready to go to church I told her I had to stay in the hospital and she said "am I not going to have a mommy anymore?" it was the saddest thing ever! She's since recovered from some of the trauma of me being in the hospital. We went home the next day.

Things have been going so well this week. Colton is a very good baby, at least compared to Kirsten. Although this time around I'm not working, finishing finals, studying for a scary certification exam and moving all in the month after giving birth. So things seem really great compared to that.

My mom just left today which is really sad! It was so nice to be able to have someone to help and someone to talk to during the day. We pretty much sat around talking, holding baby, and watching Kirsten run around singing "how will she know..." (from Enchanted). It's been so fun and I'm so sad that she's gone! But Jonathan's mom comes into town tomorrow so that will be nice too!

Here are some pictures from his first week...

Naughty and Nice...

Last week Jonathan and Kirsten were going out to Pizza with some friends in the neighborhood. I really didn't feel like going out so I told Kirsten I wasn't going. Her response, "what are you chicken?" and then she starts flapping her "wings" and balking like a chicken.

A couple days later we were putting baby brothers room together and I was sitting on the floor doing something. I started complaining about my back hurting, so Kirsten comes over and gives me a hug. She says, "it's ok sweetie, it'll be ok". Then she puts her little arms around Jonathan and I and starts telling us that we are her angels and her sweeties and singing "you are my sunshine". It was pretty cute. Makes up for all her craziness!
