Happy St. Patricks Day

Nothing like a great day to wear green!!

The derby race

Here she is... The second place champ!!! She was so excited to get a trophy! The group photo shows all the kindergarten girls that competed! 

Derby car weigh in

Makenna and daddy had to prepare for the Indian tribe derby car race. Makenna designed her own derby car to look like a trophy truck, complete with spare tire! This is her and her truck before weigh in!

Dress in green Friday

Makenna's school was going to be on spring break during saint Patricks day, so all the kids dressed in green the Friday before spring break! Here is my clan all ready to go!! 

One month!

I can't believe it!! Owen is one month old already! He holds his head up, has successfully rolled over once, and makes us smile every day. He really completes our family! 

Hilltopper award

Today Makenna received the hilltopper award at school! She earned this award for being helpful, kind to others and working hard. We could not be more proud of her! She has made amazing changes and it shows!! Go Makenna!

Newborn Photos

Our dear friend Janine has been taking our newborn pictures so that she can get a little more practice taking great photos... I think she is ready!  I love the way these came out.  Our family photo just makes my face glow!  Thank you Janine!  I will post the rest as soon as I have them!

Derby Car

Makenna has an upcoming derby car race for her tribes group.  She was given a block of wood and some tools to make a car.  She went with dad to her friend Sydney's house to make her car.  I can't wait to see the cars race!

Sibling Love

We are truly blessed.  Makenna and Wyatt love their new brother.  Makenna came out the other morning with a book that was given to Owen to read it to him.  Wyatt held him as she read.  The love was magical!

Wyatt's new hair do!

A few days ago Makenna had her Doc McStuffins phone out and called our hairdresser Stephanie.  She had this entire fake conversation about how I haven't taken them to get a hair cut in forever and they really needed one!  I died laughing and immediately called Stephanie.  Lucky for the kids, she fit them in a few days later.  My little buddy is starting to look like a big kid.  I can't believe how time flies!

Cold and Rainy Weather

California has finally got some cooler weather blowing in. No one is more excited about the cold than the kids.  We have been telling them that we could have a fire and roast marshmallows as soon as it was cold.  Here are the great memories that we made during the rainy weather!

Two weeks!

He is already showing off his muscles at a mere two weeks old!

One week old!

Here is our handsome guy at one week old.  I can't believe how alert he is!

Owen's first bath

Owen really enjoyed his first bath.  The big kids can't wait until he is big enough to take a bath with them!

No Training Wheels!

I was in need of some fresh air last weekend.  We loaded up the kids and went to the park.  We decided to try and see if Wyatt was ready to take off his training wheels.  He did great!  I can't wait for him to keep practicing!

Owen James Richey

Here are some great pictures of the first days of Owen's life.  You can see our first family picture as a family of 5, Wyatt and Owen's first bonding moments and some sweet pictures of him!

It's a BOY!!!!

 I went into labor on my own on February 12th around 7:30PM.  we drove to the hospital where it was decided to do the c-section that night.  I REALLY wanted to have the baby on the 12th, so I asked the doctors to try to make the c-section happen by midnight! lol

 Daddy and I getting ready to meet the newest member of the family!

 Daddy in his surgical gear, ready to go into the OR!

 This birth was really special for daddy... it was the first time that he was able to cut the umbilical cord.  

 Owen and I meet for the first time!

 Mommy, Daddy and Owen James Richey

 Having a little fun at a few minutes old!

 How can you not love this sweet little face?!

Here are some of the visitors that came to see our newest bundle of joy!  

A very special thank you to Ome, Papa, Grandma and Grandpa Richey for helping to take care of Makenna and Wyatt while we were in the hospital.  Because of the flu going around, the kids were not allowed to visit at the hospital!

The twins turn 5!

 The twins decided to have a luau for their 5th birthday.  They had a hula teacher, face painting, a bounce house, tattoos and so much more!  Makenna even took out one of my old mu mu's to wear to the celebration.  What a great time it was!!

 I cannot get enough of this picture.  It is perfection in every way!

Here I am 39 weeks pregnant!

La Brea Tar Pits

I had to do another field trip for school, but this time Ome and the gang joined us!  We drove out to La Brea Tar Pits to explore dinosaurs, fossils and more!  The kids had a great time exploring all of the exhibits!  We even got to see real tar! =)

The Rock Wall

Makenna had the opportunity to rock climb.  She did really great, but started getting nervous as she went.  We are so proud of how far she made it.  She is already telling us that she will go all the way to the top and ring the bell next time!  You go girl!
