Moving...

Hey everyone! As most of you know, we are moving up to Bountiful! My husband has had the opportunity to work from home for the past year and a half and with the company quickly growing, he has become too busy to continue to work from home, so we are heading north.

I am trying to get rid of a few things so I don't have to take it with us. I am selling my Squeaker Shoes for $6 (reg 18) and my BabyLegs for $6 (reg 12 or 15). If any of you would like to purchase them, please give me a call. You can go to my old blog to see what I carry. Sizes and styles are limited so I may not have what you see. Shoes do run true to size.

First day Of School!

Presli and Madden had their first day of school on Tuesday! This is the first year that Presli is actually old enough to be going to school...I can't believe she is that old already. They were so excited! Madden thought he was pretty big stuff that he got to go to school too! They both had a great time! I am so lucky that we have such a great preschool teacher!!! We sure will miss it when we are gone!

Great Friends...

I am so lucky to have such great friends. Yesterday Whitney and Amber came and picked up Presli and Madden and took them to Creative Minds to play with their kids. It gave me some alone time with Knox and it got my kids out of the house...which I am sure they loved! Thank you so much. You two ae great!! My kids had so much fun! Love you guys!

The past week...

Knox's umbilical chord fell off on Tuesday morning so he had his first bath on Tuesday night! He wasn't a fan of the bath until I put a warm washcloth on his tummy...then he settled right down! Joe's parents came over to watch his first bath. They have come over with all 3 kids! It's always fun to have them!Not loving it!

Presli doing what she loves best...holding Knox!

My three babies, all clean and ready for bed!

Presli with her friend Scarlett Shaw at her birthday party. This was the first party Presli went to without me! She thought she was such a big girl and had so much fun!

Knox smiling!!! I can't believe he will be two weeks old tomorrow! Time flies!

What I Love...

Well, our perfect little bundle of joy (Knox J for those of you who didn't hear) has been home for two days now! Life is pretty much perfect and we are loving our little guy. Presli and Madden are so cute with him and are loving our new addition to our family! I love my babies and I could not be any more blessed.

Not only do I have the most perfect babies, but I have an amazing husband. He is such an amazing dad and is always so helpful. He has probably only missed a total of 5 nighttime feedings with our newborns, and it seems he is keeping tradition!!! Joe you are an amazing husband and father and I am so lucky to have you as mine! I love you!!

Here are some pictures of our first few days with our precious baby Knox... Getting ready to wash him down for the night!

My three perfect angels....could they seriously be any cuter?

Presli is loving being a big sister to this little guy. She will sit on the couch and hold him for 30-45 minutes at a time. She hugs him, kisses him and sings him songs...she is going to be my little helper!!

Mommy, Knox and Daddy getting ready to leave the hospital...not a happy camper!

Our precious baby boy!

Check out those hands...aren't they huge?

So perfect!

Knox and his cousin Titan. They are 2 1/2 months apart...hopefully they will be the best of friends!

Baby Rieck

Well he is here!!! Baby boy Rieck decided to make his much anticipated entrance into the world today at 1:00pm! I am going to leave all the details up to Kalli to tell (this is Lacy), but I am here to let everyone know that everything went GREAT and mommy and baby couldnt be doing any better! He weighed in at a whopping 7lb 4oz and 19 1/2in long! By far Kalli's biggest baby yet! He is absolutely adorable and we could not be happier for their cute little family! Kalli's labor went really great and there were no problems! He is a healthy little boy with some big lippers and big hands and feet!:) Who knew Kalli's teeny tiny little body could hold a baby of that size!?!? Presli and Madden love their new baby brother and can't wait to have mommy and brother home! We love all of them so much, and can't wait to spoil this little stinker rotten just like the rest of them! As far as a name goes...they are still going with BABY RIECK! Im sure by tomorrow they will have made a decision...but it's been a hard one! I will let this little video do the rest of the talking so you can see just how perfect their day was! CONGRATS RIECKS..We love you!

Maternity Pics!

Since I am getting to the end of my pregnancy, I decided to have my sister take my maternity pictures. She did such an amazing job! I love them! Anyone that needs an amazing photographer...she's your girl!!!
