Brynn's 5th B-Day

Brynn turned 5 the day after Chloe was born (April 13th). We are happy they both have their own birth days. Brynn waited patiently all day until we got back from the hospital (around 5:00 pm) to blow out her candles and open presents. When she was done opening her presents, she said in a very excited and grateful voice..."these presents are fantastic!" She is so precious!!! Doug and I are so proud of our Brynn. She is such a great big sister! She and Alise are the best of friends and Brynn is always quick to share or do anything to make her sister or anyone around her happy. She is so kind, giving, loving, SMART, and has a strong desire to do what is right. I am so thankful that you were sent to me Brynn. Your Dad and I will love you forever!!!!

Chloe Kae April 12, 2008

Chloe Kae Chlarson was born April 12, 2008 @ 2:40 pm. She weighed 6 lb 1 oz which makes her my biggest baby. (Brynn was 5' 2, Alise 5' 5) I went in Friday night @ 1:15 am and had contractions 3 minutes apart but dialated slowly...they gave me an epidural around 8:30 am and started me on pit...I LOVE EPIDURALS!!! She was posteriery just like my other 2 babies (which makes it harder to push them out because it makes their head a lot bigger then if they would come out the right way) plus her hands were by her face which is not good! Very ouchy! Nothing a few stiches won't take care of. Today is day 4 and I'm happy to say she is a very good baby!!! She is sleeping a lot and she doesn't spit up like my other two did. She's just perfect and we feel so blessed!!!

Easter 2008

We really had a very nice Easter. The girls loved their baskets and dresses. They always love to pose for the camera. They are so precious!



I was very happy and surprised how patient they were to wait for pictures before they opened their baskets! Good job girls. :)



We always have an easter egg hunt at my parents house for all the kids and then afterward for all the adults. Brett is being a dork so I thought I would post the picture... hehe This is Baylee, Brett, Logan and Brynn



Brynn hurrying to get lots of eggs.



Alise not doing too bad.

Playing in the Snow Feb 4th

We were all so happy when we woke up and saw all the snow outside. It's been a long time since we've had a big snow. What a blessing to this community! We are thankful that our prayers have been answered.



This is Brynn and Alise waiting to go down our driveway in our garage. They love playing in the snow.



Alise kept flipping at the bottom of our driveway. This is Doug brushing her off...but as you can see, she doesn't care. She still loves every minute.
