Girly Photo Shoot

 

Baby Collynns and her Sisters

 

I realized that I needed to take a one month picture, and so I tried to do them myself...poor baby number 4, they dont get all the attention that the first couple got.  But hey we know what she looked like then right.

 

 

Such a happy baby.

 

The girls love to take pictures with Collynns.

 

They also love to give her kisses.

 

Collynns didnt last too long though, but she does have the cutest grumpy face ever though

My Dad has knick named her Alvin (the chipmunk) because she has hugely chubby cheeks.

Chillin with Gma and Gpa

 

 

After a year I am finally getting around to posting all these, so I cant remember why I dont have Schaefer with me, but the girls and I went to Salt Lake to meet with my parents and check out the new mall.

This is one of the cool fountains the mall has, I love it.

 

 These pictures are so cute. 

Melynns hair so so short! I kind of miss it being the short, now I have to do it everyday.

 

Everytime we come to temple square they are always amazed by this waterfall.



Witchland

 

Witchland and dinner at the Mayan

 

The kids love going to Gardner Village for Witchland.

We headed up to look for all the witches and get our cookies for finding them all. Kadrynn was excited to hold the list of witches.

 

 

This witch was a favorite of all the kids, but we needed someone to take the picture so Schaefer volunteered to do it.  He did a pretty good job.

 

Schaefer, "This is us being a mummy in witchaland."

 

Collynns is only a couple weeks old and we had to get a good picture of everyone, too bad she wouldnt look at the camera, ha!

 

After witchland we went to eat at the Mayan.  It was a lot of fun, the kids loved watching the divers and seeing the cool jungle.

 

 

She is so little, I cant believe it.

Collynns Little photo shoot



I needed to take a cute picture to put on my wall and This first one turned out so cute. 

I love her huge cheeks and hair that wont lay down.  She is about 2 weeks old in these pictures.

Conference Weekend

Hey can you blame me, I just had a baby and I am tired, Ian has no excuse though!!

Laura and Jd's family came down to see Collynns and spend the weekend.  I sure miss having them here.  Macy and Kenedi are growing up so fast and I wish I could see them more often.

Kadrynn got ahold of the camera and took some funny pictures, I am not sure if Dad is awake or not but I like this one.

This is kind of how things went as soon as we said "Oh conference is starting."  Everyone either went crazy or passed out.

Collynns First Bath

Its so funny that the first bath gets so much attention.  And she screamed the whole time. 

But look how cute she looks after

Collynns Anita Robertson

Well, She came out!!  I was starting to worry for a while.  All my other kids where eight days early, and I think Collynns knew that and wanted to frusterate me.  But I won!! 

I had been waiting for my water to break for a few days.  I was so paranoid about it breaking in public. And it did, at the end of Schaefers soccer game at 7:30, but it didnt break the way I thought it would.  Usually it breaks and there is no stopping it, this time I wasnt sure for hours.  Ian and I ended up walking up and down the street trying to get contractions to start, and they did, so we decided to go in and get things checked out around 11:30.  Turns out my water had broken.  So we called Mom who headed down and  they hooked me up and called Dr Carn who told them to put me on the Pit and so I got the epidural right away, like usual, I am not one for pain!!  But the guy was not on his best day, he had to put it in twice and then when they started uping the Pit the epidural wasnt working so after a while I had him come back in and give me the booster, which went straight into my bloodstream and my vision went blurry, my ears ringing and my tongue went numb, so he had to take it all out and put it in again which took another 2 tries.  Then I was ready to push within the hour.  I pushed for 10 minutes and DIDNT TEAR!!  I am amazed at the differance between tearing and not!!  I recommend not.  So my legs where totally numb and I couldnt move them until some time around 11am.

Collynns came out perfectly, and looking just like Kadrynn, which is funny because I remember thinking that when Melynn came out and now when I look back at pictures, I think Melynn looked nothing like Kadrynn. 

Collynns came out at 5:28 am and weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 19 inches long.  She is not only our heaviest but our hairyest baby, tons of dark brown hair.  Which I was hoping would stay the same color but then one of the nurses pointed out her blonde eyebrows so there is a good chance it will go blonde, sorry Mom.

Once Ian and I got moved into our other room Mom Headed back to our house to relieve Megan who had spend the night with the kids.  Megan was very excited to have Collynns born on her birthday.  Once we took a nap and ate some breakfast we did a little photo shoot. 

The kids where so excited to see their new baby sister.  I kept wondering if Schaefer would be mad that she actually came out a girl, he has been saying for months that the Dr was wrong and it was a boy.  But he never said anything, just excitment. 

They have been smothering her since we came home.

Dr Carn came to take a look at Collynns and make sure things where ok and we grabbed a picture with him before we headed home.

When we got home Natalie was there putting up this great sign and Grandma and Grandpa Dingman and Grandma Miller came to bring dinner.  So we had a little party there waiting for us to get home.
