sorry it took so long to post. we are having some computer issues. i tried to post a few more pictures and it wouldn't let me. oh well, this is my favorite anyway.

and the winner is.....

congrats to michelle smith!! you are the winner. michelle guessed 9 lbs 3 oz. i am still a little shocked at how "small" our sam is. michelle, just text me your address and we will send you your gift card! woo hoo!

sam weighed 8 lbs 15 oz. our 2nd smallest baby!

Having a Little Contest

ok.....i was thinking about having a little contest. (with a real prize!) all you have to do to enter is guess how big this baby is gonna be. the person who is the closest to the actual weight and length wins! but you also have to give me a good idea on names, since i am still struggling with that. some of the names we like are daniel, samuel, simon, benjamin, noah.......etc. those classic boy names.
here's a little history.
kaylee was 8 lbs 8 oz
andrew was 9 lb 0 oz (14 days early)
will was 9 lb 9 oz (10 days early)
here is kind of an odd statistic: all 3 babies were 21 1/2 inches long
jeff thinks the winner should get to come and stay with us for a week and get up with the baby and change his diaper. i was thinking more along the lines of a gift certificate:) good luck! baby boy nygren will be born on wednesday july 14th!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WILL!

can't believe that he is 4 years old today! man, how time flies by. i just love this kid. 4 things i love about will: 1.) His silly faces he makes like in the picture below. i love the one-eyed willie. 2.) He loves to laugh, he is a happy happy kid and loves nothing more than to laugh. often times that laugh is a little forced and fake, but i love it. 3.) his funny little run. it is kinda hard to explain you would just have to see it. but it makes me smile. 4.) i probably shouldn't love it, and i do try to put a stop to it, but the kid is infatuated with saying poop. it shouldn't make me laugh, but it does. i love when he doesn't know i am listening and i bust him saying it to bubba. and then as soon as he sees me he says, "sorry mom".

piano recital and talent show

kaylee auditioned to be a part of the school talent show, and made it. i was very proud of her, there is no way i would have ever done that when i was her age. i love how much she has blossomed this year. she played the piano.

her happy smile when it was all over.

she finished up her 4th year of piano lessons with tyra moeller. this is not something that comes easily to kaylee, so i am proud of her for sticking with it.

Happy Birthday Jeffy!

Happy Birthday to best guy I know. He is seriously the best. He is thoughtful, hard working, sensitive, handsome, worthy, and best of all....funny. He can make me laugh even when I don't want him to. I mean look at the picture below and try to not laugh.

Thank goodness he is in my life, I am the luckiest person in the world. Jeffy I hope that you have a great Birthday. You deserve it. Love, Me

field day

jeff was a good sport this year and participated in most of the events so that andrew would. his best friend was out of town and he was feeling a little lost without him. so dad stepped up. i think he secretly enjoyed it.

even will got to do some.

kaylee just had fun running around with friends.

i can't believe it's the end of another school year. wow where did the time go? over all it has been a good year. it definately had its ups and downs, but we learned a lot along the way. i am so grateful for good teachers, what a difference they can make in your kids lives.
