Proud Papa!

Here is my favorite photo from this weekend, Chris with the baby. He is such a proud (pleased) papa. It is sweet to see him with a baby again. It is also nice to see him care so much for me when I'm so broken right now. He truly was sent from Heavenly Father to be my husband, he is so perfect for me. I love him so much.

Our little one is here.

We posted a lot of photos on facebook. But here are a few random photos I decided to put here. Samuel Royce Bair was born on December 17th at 5:22 p.m. He weighs 9 lbs and is 21inches long. He has his own personality. He loves to eat and make funny faces. He doesn't seem to be bothered by all of the kid noise around our home. His siblings love him and want to hold him all the time. It is so cute to see how much they just adore him and want to take care of him. What sweet children. Welcome to our home little man!

Christmas dresses.

Sunday I got the kids hair done pretty, everyone was dressed in the new outifts. I found these dresses at Costco for $15.99. I was excited to find size 10 usually you don't find 10's at Sams and Costco. I figured I wouldn't be able to find the girls the exact sizes and styles from now on so I had to buy them. Max isn't pictured in his new snappy vest, tie, and pants because of a little insident earlier in the day. Let me tell you about it. I went upstairs to lay down for a little bit. All of the kids were in the toy room playing happily so I thought I'd be safe. Think again momma. Not 10 minutes after I laid down Audrey came running up the stairs, "Mom, Mom, Mom, Max got butter on our door and everywhere and on Kate's head!!!" Is that the kind of thing I hear on a daily basis? No, but not too surprising with our Max. At least he is feeling well enough to make trouble. Needless to say I didn't get a nap and I had to go clean up butter off my child a door and the new carpet. Oh well. It's all part of being a mom, right? At any rate the dresses are really cute. Also if I can get the butter out of Max's outfit he'll match with the baby, I got a matching one for him. I'm so excited to put them in the same outfit.

Audrey and Hailey's Dance Recital.

Last Thursday we had Audrey and Hailey's dance recital. They have been going to a dance class every Monday for quite a while and had their first performance. They were so cute. They were the biggest girls there. They did a pretty good job. I just love the family they go to for it. It has been a fun experience for them.

One week left!

We only have one week left before our new little baby joins our family. I'm trying to prepare the children for the change. I have been telling them that I'll be sore and tired and that the baby wont come out to play. I even explained to Hailey a little about labor this morning at breakfast. She knows that the muscles have to squeeze and squeeze to get the baby out. I think they will be just fine. I worry more about Max and Ruth, how they will do when all of my attention is taken away from them. Luckily I'll have Heidi to play with them and keep them happy while I'm in the hospital. I'll get my nursery ready hopefully today then I can post photos. I've been painting dots for the last few weeks. I think it looks super cute. Ruth however got up two nights ago saying that my dots looked like a tiger eye and she was scared. Poor thing. We'll have to see if she sleeps well in her new room.

Family photos

Stephen was kind enough to take our family photos. Here are a few of them. There is one of Max by a tree that is really cute. What a big fun boy he is.

Can you believe it? Max finally went to preschool.

Max's first day of school. Horray he actually made it how amazing. He has been going through testing and testing and now we are actually here. Plus a bus comes right to our house and picks him up, how wonderful. I love his teacher she is so great, she is Ruth's teacher also. He came home from school and told me he played in the sand box and got sand in his eyes. I assume that means he had a great day. Nothing would truly be great without a little dirt right? Well here he is getting on the bus. What a big boy. He is in a booster chair with a seat belt lock, it is called a pill box top. It will turn but wont come off unless you know how to take the lock off. How awesome is that? I'm really really excited, they let Ruth ride the bus to school too. So now all of my kids get to ride the bus. How terrific. Next week I'll have no kids, yes no kids for almost 2 hours 2 days a week. I scarcely know what I'll do with myself. Horray!!! Now Max won't cry every time Ruth goes to school because he can go too. :)
