Kyrie

Here are some more pictures of our precious baby. At first we thought she looked just like Hayden. But now that the swelling in her face has gone down we've changed our minds. Chris thinks that she looks more like Dusty now. I think she looks just like a Kyrie. We think she is beautiful and couldn't be happier. All I want to do is sit and hold my baby, I just can't get enough of her. The last 3 nights I haven't gotten much sleep, but I can't complain - it just means more time that I get to spend with her! She is such a sweetie and I am so greatful that she joined our family.

Introducing...

Kyrie Belle Scott was born on Friday December 26, 2008. She weighed 7 lbs and stretched to 19 1/2 inches long. Happy Birthday Kyrie!
Her brothers are already torturing their sister. The baby nurse asked them if they wanted to pick out a ribbon for her head and they came back with 3. You can't really see it, but there is an orange bow on one side of her head, a pink one on the other and a big Christmas bow on top.

The happy parents

After some hard work of trying to keep this baby in, we all thought she would be born too early. Well to our surprise, I went in to be induced just 6 days before my due date. They broke my water at 7:42 and she was here at 9:39. She would've been here about 40 minutes earlier if we hadn't been waiting on the doctor to get to the hospital. So it was a really short and easy labor/delivery. We are so greatful that I was able to carry her for so long. We have seen many blessings with this pregnancy and we thank all those who helped pray for us! We have a strong and healthy little baby girl.

just some adventures

We've had a couple of new experiences here in Denver, Colorado. Shortly after we moved here we decided it would be fun to take the kids to the 2nd Madagascar movie. We found a movie theatre and paid a big admission fee (I was thinking at this price, we might only get to go once a year). Well come to find out, it wasn't a normal theatre. We asked where we could purchase some popcorn and were told we do that inside the theatre room. We walked in and it was a real place to get dinner and a movie. There was a table in front of the seats with a menu, a few condiments, and a roll of paper towels. You could order pizza, sandwiches, fries, popcorn, dessert, and drinks. You fill out your order paper and stick it in a slot and a waiter or waitress comes to get the paper, and comes back with your food. That was one movie that we decided it was best not to order anything, it was pretty expensive. We have found a different theatre to try out for our next movie experience.



Our next adventure was going to the flea market. I have been to one before in California when I took a field trip with my art class, but Chris had never been to one and had no idea what they are about. We were out cruising around, not knowing where we were going next, and came across the Mile High Flea Market and decided to stop. We mostly just looked around, but we did find a couple things to spend some money on. I found this cute bag that I had to have, and we found a pair of shoes for the baby. I wanted to buy a blessing dress for the baby, but I couldn't find one small enough. And Chris wanted to buy the boys some Denver Bronco jersies, but since we hadn't planned on going there we didn't have enough cash. We may never go back to the flea market again, but Chris can now say that he has been to one. The kids thought it was so much fun that for some reason they thought it was a circus.

We have had a lot of fun being here. It's so cool to see so many animals in a big city. We have seen deer, there are squirrels, prairie dogs, and bunnies everywhere. And we have seen several coyotes roaming the subdivisions. I love being so close to the Elementary School, there is a perfect hill across the street for the kids to go sledding, and lots places for bike rides. It was really nice outside the other day and we enjoyed a family bike ride. Of course there are always things to do in a big city, but I'm greatful to find the things that our little family enjoy.

We made it!

Well it has been awhile since I've posted but we did make it to our new house. We've been here for a month already! We've spent a few weeks getting the house in order, and I've even gotten some painting done. I've painted the 5 smallest rooms so far. All of the walls were white and I need some color. So here it what the outside of our house looked this morning. We got a little snow last night!
And here is the baby's room. I decided to paint pink and green this time. Chris will just have to get used to all of this pink.


As far as the baby goes, I've been complaining that she'd be born too early, now it's time to complain that she's not here yet. Since we had planned on her being here by now, it kinda seems like she's late. I still have 3 1/2 weeks left, so I guess everyday that she stays in is for the better. I got new Christmas clothes for the kids and I planned on taking pictures of them together. Hopefully she'll get to wear her Christmas dress before Christmas!

And here is a picture of our moving truck. Those doors that are open are about in the middle of the trailer, it was a big truck! And we filled it up to the top, front and back except for right where the doors are. Now we know how much stuff we can accumulate for the next move (not much)! It's unreal how much of it was packing supplies though! Half of each box was packing paper, I couldn't believe all of the paper and boxes we were left with. They individually wrapped everything, even things like deoderant and hair brushes. Hopefully we won't be moving again for a VERY long time!!!! I'm with Dusty, he wants to know why moving has taken us so long. He wants the whole process to be done in one day. Wouldn't that be cool, find a house, sell a house, pack, move, unpack, and organize all in one day!

Dusty's tooth

A couple of weeks ago Dusty lost his first tooth. We waited and waited for that thing to come out and we teased him about it because it was just hanging there and he wouldn't let us pull it out. He was so protective about his tooth, and then one morning it just fell out while he was brushing his teeth. Chris was in the bathroom with him and as I walked in Dusty held out his hand with the tooth in it, and a big grin on his face. The next thing I saw was Dusty falling straight back, and it seemed like slow motion, but I still couldn't catch him in time. He passed out and fell, hitting his head on the hard tile floor. Chris scooped him up and laid him on our bed. He was sick for awhile and went to school looking like a ghost. I felt so bad for him, but in a way thought it was kinda funny! He passed out over losing a tooth! Dusty is definately my kid! That's just the way that some of us are, and I know some people will never understand, but now we know to watch that kid in certain situations. Ever since he got a loose tooth, Dusty has been really interested in his mouth. I have caught him several times looking in his mouth with a mirror. One day he came and asked me if Vampires had pointy teeth like this (as he was drawing the shape with his finger), and I said "yes". He got a concerned look on his face and opened his mouth and pointed at his 2 pointy teeth and said "Well, look!" I know that he was really worried about having pointed teeth and being a vampire, but I couldn't help but burst out laughing. So whether he's looking like a ghost or a vampire, his smile sure is cute with a hole in it!
