Livvy & Calli

Just a few pics of the girls. The one of Livvy is of her on her first day of school. I had to take the picture

at the hospital as I was still there when she started. The one of Calli is of her sporting the only flowers we got while in the hospital. One from daddy. He claims that's all they had in the gift shop. Calli put it to good use right away.

Is it Calli or is it Keira?

So I find it uncanny how much my 2nd and 3rd child look alike. I know Keira is only 1 week old but she looks so much like her big sister. And here are the pics to prove it. These first two are of Calli ; the day she was born and on her blessing day. Any of you who have seen Keira may recognize the face in the blessing photo. Keira pulls that face all the time. The last pic is of Keira and Livvy. It just blows me away at all the similarities. The nose is the only visible difference. CRAZY!

She's finally arrived

We'd like to introduce the newest member of our family. Her name is Keira Coleman. Born Sunday August 30, 2009 at 7:15pm. Weighing in at 6 lbs. 5 oz. and 18 inches long. Although she was 3 weeks early, she is healthy and all is well. We couldn't be more happy that she has finally arrived into our family. And the girls just couldn't be more thrilled to have their baby sister here. Thanks to all of those who have so graciously supported us during this process. We couldn't have gotten here with out you. We love you all!

4 weeks and counting

So Nick asked me to post some pics of myself pregnant. I guess I just figure that by baby #3, you don't have to make the big announcement. So I guess this is my announcement. My coming out. I'm due 1st to mid September, not sure. But the Dr. will be clipping my stitch the 27th of August. So I could go in to labor immediately or my cervix could surprise us all and hold strong till my due date. We just aren't sure. Anyway. Only 4 weeks to go til I'm off my bedrest. And I am sure that my families are counting down the days. A shout out to them for their wonderful help and support with tending my kids. You ALL rock!

Cabin Fun

I know I know I am about a month behind on my blogging. I have several excuses most of which I am sure you don't care to hear. But anyway. This is us up at my sister's cabin over the 4th. Boy did the girls have fun.

Happy 5th Birthday!

So I know that this is late coming since her Birthday was the beginning of June, but bedrest doesn't fare easy. Things are great and our big girl is 5 now. Everyone had a blast at the party and Livvy got everything she could have wanted. Thanks to grandma for helping with the cake. Livvy wouldn't have anything but a bunny cake and grandma ran to the rescue to make it as Mommy can't do much these days. Thanks to everyone else for you support and generosity.

Happy 3rd Birthday Calli

I can't believe that she is 3 already. She has grown up so fast. Practically bigger than her sister. But she is such a joy to have in our family. She is honestly one of the sweetest most thoughtful little girls I know. She may be quite mischievous but she is such a cute little girl. We love her!

Cabin Fever

So we went up to my sister's cabin last weekend and had a ball. The girls got to ride 4-wheelers and build forts and hunt deer (not really, but we did spot a few). It was good to get away from the city and enjoy nature.

Semi-Annual Trip to St. George

So once again, we made it to St. George. What a week. It was such nice weather for the first 3 days and then crummy weather for the weekend. But it's always nice to take a vacation. Much needed.





























So here are some pictures of little miss Livvy holding her FAVORITE movies in the entire world. While in St. George we stopped at Target and she immediately spotted them while passing the entertainment section. Being the softy that he is, her dad gave in and bought them for her. You would have thought she had won the lottery. She just can't get enough of the Spiderman. Something about that Peter Parker.

Easter Sunday

So here are the girls in their Easter dresses. They looked so cute. They had a good day with their grandparents and came out on top with a basket full of eggs. They Easter bunny was so kind this year he even left a little money in some of the eggs. That was for sure the highlight....filling up their piggy banks.

Home Again, Home Again

So although I have no new pictures to put up I will attempt to explain why. We have recently moved back to SLC. Nick was transferred with his job and so it happened kind of fast. We moved right before Thanksgiving and have been living with his parents for the last 2 months. But we are finally in our place after a month and a half of tedious work to get it ready. We have working internet and all is well. I will post new pictures as soon as I have them. I have just been so preoccupied with this house that nothing else has gotten done. Sorry to all of you that I have lost contact with over the last couple of months. I will make it up to you. Thanks to family for your support in this hectic move.

Esmerelda & Scarecrow

So this year we only made it out to Alisha's ward Trunk 'or Treat. But this has been an annual thing since we moved here, so nothing new to our kids. Every time we pass Alisha's church building they yell out "Look mom, we went trick or treating there". I think it is their second favorite place (Aunt Alisha's being the first). They had a blast and for Halloween my mom and dad came over for soup, homemade bagels, smoothies and popcorn. Mmmmm! After watching "Shrek the Halls" (which is such a cute Christmas movie), the girls zonked making it a wonderful Halloween. I know, I know, we watched a Christmas movie already but to my defense, I was letting my parent's preview it before purchase. So I was doing THEM a favor. Ha Ha! By the way, Livvy was Esmerelda from The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Miss Calli was a scarecrow. CUTE!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to Linder Farms this year to do the annual pumpkin patch and haystack maze. The girls got to ride around on the tractor through the giant pumpkin fields. When it was all over they each picked out their own pumpkin. Notice my girls picked the tiniest ones they could find. We had a good time.

A Day at the Lake

We had so much fun over Labor Day weekend. Brandon and his Family were so kind as to invite us to go boating again. The girls had a blast being in the sun all day. Calli was even able to sneak in a 2 hr nap while still on the boat. They were so cute.

Livvy's life jacket was a little big on her and so would rise up to just about her nose. I thought she sort of mimicked a turtle especially with the towel over her head.
