He is finally here!

I am one proud big brother. Ya, I have three now, holy cow.

He is well on his way to a good mullit, I wonder if they make tank tops that small?

Hailey finally warmed up to the idea of having the little guy around.

Colter Bruce was born at 4:43 and Jan 25th, 2010. He was 6 lbs 12 oz and 19 1/2 inches long (I would say tall, but since he can't stand up I would think that "long" is more appropriate.)

Hailey didn't take to kindly to him at first, but quickly realized that he wasn't too bad. Kade just thinks that it is cool to have a brother.

Em is doing quite well and is glad to be home. I am just glad that her mom is here!

christmas and New Years!!

Hailey got a piano for Christmas and has really enjoyed it. she is really sweet and doesn't bang on the keyboard. that aside thank goodness for a volume button.
the kids also got a sled, which we were able to try out on new years. they loved it. mike being mike, reliving his favorite movie. Oh don't worry Hailey did it too. luckily no stick this time. can't say that for the next time though.
one of our Christmas presents was a family outing to snowmobile races. it was in an outside stadium, cold but it was fun. I even caught- a DVD they were throwing into the crowd. OK, I didn't catch it, I used my body to my advantage- if you've got it... use it right?

Going Private

Well I have put allot of thought into this, and though I totally understand that it is more convenient to be Public, I think I too am going to make the transition, and go private.

My sister shared a story about bad people using the faces of little kids and putting them on naked body's and selling them, I think My kids faces are pretty cute and feel that I do need to protect them.

I might have been a little hasty is switching to private so quickly, and since I probably don't have all the emails I need, if you are interested in being invited to my blog would you please leave a comment with you email address and over the next little bit I will compile them.

thanks,

By the way all is well, we had a great Christmas and hopefully those post Christmas pictures of coming. hope you all had a great Christmas and a happy new year.

what we have been up to.
