Last Few Weeks

We have been busy the last few weekends!
Grama Pam and Grampa Kalvin came to visit for Presidents Day weekend. We had tons of fun and of course not enough time! We got to spend Valentines together and went to dinner. We asked Korbin where he thought we should go because we couldn't decide.
"McDonalds!" he says.
Of course, how fun:) Didn't end up there but he thought it was the perfect place for dinner.

We are loving our little family these days. It is pretty awesome to have two little buddies!
Weston has been smiling now so that is fun. He is growing fast. We looked at Korbin's 3month pictures and it is crazy how much they look alike!!
Korbin is full of energy and new ideas. He is quite the little bargainer and tries to get a little more no matter what we are dealing with!

Are they brothers or what?

It's hard to believe but Weston is a month old today.
They say time flies when you are having fun!!

Korbin had school (preschool) today.
Tomorrow we head to gymnastics and then
McDonald's with a friend. Yeah!!
We are out of snow but Kenyon and Korbin
managed to build a snowman while it was here.
Thanks for the cool cammo hat Grama Linda!!

Snow!!

It's just not winter without a little weather!
Loving our snow~

Korbin in a pile!

Monday we got snow.
Last night we got more snow.
Snowed all afternoon today.
Yeah!!



Weston had his 2 week appointment to day and everything is going well. He is 8lbs. 4oz. and 22in. We are all trying to adjust here to having another little one in the house. Korbin seems to be doing well for the most part. Each day gets a little easier so that is encouraging! Weston sleeps good at night so that has been nice for mom! He is spending a little more time awake everyday and seems to be getting into a little bit of a schedule eating and sleeping wise.Snoozing in the chair

1.5 weeks down!

Well, a week and a half has gone by and we are still here! It is quite an adjustment to add another member to our little family. Mom and Dad LiaBraaten are still here, but are leaving in the morning to head back to Alaska. Now for the real test! It has been fun and very helpful to have them here!!
Here are a few more pictures for now.....hope to get some more up soon.

Baby Weston is here!
It all went pretty quick. Monday, I wasn't feeling very good and got antsy about things. Called the doctor and told him what was happening. He wanted me to come in so I came in around 2. Mom and Dad LiaBraaten were in Marysville so they decided that they should come over just in case something was really happening. I was far enough through labor that we went strait to the hospital and got ready for surgery. It was pretty obvious that I wasn't going to make it to Friday (the scheduled day) and we didn't want to go into full blown labor if we could help it.
Weston was born at 4:32 Monday afternoon. He weighed 8.3oz and was 191/2 in. Kenyon is convinced he is longer, that the nurse didn't stretch him out enough!! I wasn't there, so we'll see as we have our first appointment with the pediatrician on Friday.

We came home today, Wednesday, and are getting settled at home. It was a little different as no one under the age of 16 was allowed into the ob ward. Ben and Tamara and fam came to see us Mon. and left Tues. The kids weren't allowed in so we took a couple of trips to the nursery to show them Weston through the window. Kind of hard for Korbin I think because he was so excited to see his new baby brother. Well, this is the short version, but wanted to let you know that things are going well!

Mmmmmmmm.............

Yes, they are that good!! Thank you for this awesome present!

Thanksgiving in Idaho

Grampa, Lady, and Korbin

Buddies!!

Newest question: "Mom, when are we going to get a dog?"

Answer: "You'll have to talk to your dad about that."

Out on the swing....

Thanksgiving.......yum! We got to spend a whole week in Rupert for Tday. It seems like we did everything and nothing at the same time and managed to eat during all of it!! Nothing like being up on the farm and getting to ride the 4wheeler, feed the dog, cows, and horse!! Korbin sure enjoyed running around anywhere and everywhere. Lady (Grama Pam and Grampa Kalvin's new dog) is one of his new best friends and is always talking about her. It's nice to not have to worry about the busy road. It was really good to be with Kenyon's whole family again! We went into Twin Falls one day and went down into the Snake River Canyon.....beautiful!! Hope everyone had a good turkey day!
