Samuel

My friend Melanie made and sent these hats to Samuel, she also made this little baby cocoon. I'm afraid he may be a little too big for it. I'll put him into it anyway. She also made hand bound journals for Audrey and Hailey for their baptism. I'll take pictures of those later. But you'll be happy to know they have been writing in them every night. I think it is adorable. Now I just need to get them to remember to read their scriptures and pray every night. Thank you Mel.

Happy Birthday Kate, We love you.

Kate's birthday just happened to be the day before Audrey and Hailey were baptized February 5th. We were able to take her out to dinner which is always fun with 5 (now 6) kids. Also at the luncheon after the baptism we had a cake for her and had everyone sing to her. She even picked out her cake and #6 candle. Now I have a beautiful 6 year old. Happy Birthday Kate!

Cupcakes anyone?

Kate and Ruth have loved making cupcakes for everyone with this fun cup cake set.

Audrey and Hailey's Baptism

Saturday February 6th Audrey and Hailey were able to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. We got our house all ready, luncheon stuff ready and the day finally came. The program was sweet and simple, Audrey and Hailey picked their grandpas to give talks, Uncle Ben sang a beautiful song. The spirit was so strong. A lot of our family and friends were there to support the girls. What a wonderful family experience. Max keeps dreaming of getting baptized. Now all they need to do is get married in the temple and endure to the end, right? It sounds simpler than it is.

My Smiley Guy.

It still takes a lot to get him to smile and he has to be very full and happy but when he does he's adorable.

Baby blessing of Samuel

Saturday February 6th 2010, we blessed our beautiful baby boy. He did a really good job. No crying. I was impressed. We also baptized the twins (Audrey and Hailey) I'll post pictures of that soon.

Yummy yummy lunch!

Thanks to us watching Modern Marvels I made the yummiest omelet today for myself for lunch. Yum!

Finished Flooring. YEAH!!!

Here are photos of the finished floor. It is so nice to be able to walk around with no shoes on and not walk on nails or get slivers. It didn't last that long but it sure seemed like a long time. We had to make sure the kids wore shoes even with their pajamas on. Now that was a funny site. I'm glad it is done. We also put up a few photos before the baptism. It really feels like home now.

Under Construction.

We decided to put in our floor before we had Audrey and Hailey's baptism. We wanted to do a luncheon here and thought that it would be nicer to have the finished floor. Here are some photos of us pulling up the hall floor and kitchen tile and linoleum. It was a lot of work but we did it.

Christmas two months late

I haven't updated my blog in a long time. I think I must have been busy with a new baby. I just realized that I hadn't posted anything about Christmas. Here are a few pictures from Christmas. We had Grammy and Grandpa Bair over in the morning it was really fun. Chris and the girls made Max lightsabers, that is the photo with the kids playing with swords. Grandpa took our Christmas on the stairs photo, and the first time I saw that photo I thought, "We have a big family." I love my big family. I've never thought I had a big family before. I knew I had 5 kids, but I never thought it was big. Some how adding a 6th makes it seem so much bigger. Fun stuff.

Snow man!

Chris is such a good Daddy before the snow melted he took Max outside and started a snow man. when the girls heard what they were doing they all went to join in. One good thing about winter is playing in the snow. What a happy snowman. :)

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.
