Katelyn Ava Fetters

Katelyn was born Monday morning via c-section. She weighed 9 lbs. and 19 inches long. The doctors had to push on my stomach really hard to get her out because she was so big. Everyone in the operating room was talking about how big she was. Most of her weight is in her cheeks. I love babies that have some baby fat on them!
So I stayed in the hospital until Thursday and came home. The kids couldn't come to the hospital to see the baby because it is H1N1 flu season. So they had to wait to meet Katelyn until I came home. Aiden was the first to meet her since the girls were at school. He wanted to hold her a lot. And of course Ali and Lizzie loved her and wanted to be by her the whole day. Thanks for everyone (Mom, Camille, Angie, and Jason) who helped watch the kids while I was in the hospital! I couldn't have done it with out your help!
Katelyn is such a great baby. She eats a lot and sleeps a lot. She is turning out to be just like all our other babies! I love having a baby again and I can't stop holding her and kissing her big cheeks! We all love her a bunch!

Halloween

Halloween this year was busy. We first celebrated Aiden's 2nd birthday and then Ali's 4th birthday. We also had a friend birthday party on Halloween for mainly Ali. Besides all the birthday stuff, our water heater started leaking really bad so we bought a new one and with the help of my brother Michael and our friend Ashton, Shae put the new one in. Let me tell you it was no fun having no water for two days. Thanks to my mom who let us shower at her house and did our laundry for us!
On Halloween we went out to dinner with my dad and his wife Debbie. Then my dad took the kids trick or treating since Shae was still putting the water heater in and I didn't feel up to it. But the kids loved everything about Halloween. Lizzie was a cheerleader. Ali was a chicken and Aiden was a bear.

Uncle Scot and Megan's wedding

Last weekend we went to Boise for Scot and Megan's wedding. We had fun spending 3 nights in a hotel with Shae's family. The kids enjoyed swimming in the pool.
Lizzy and Ali were the flower girls and Aiden was the ring bearer. The girls did well when it was their turn to walk down the aisle and scatter flowers. Aiden decided not to walk down the middle aisle, but went down on the side aisle. It was cute though.
We are so happy that Megan is part of our family. It was fun to see all the Shae's family too. We got to see Aunt Becca too since she lives in Boise. The kids miss Aunt Becca. But the trip went well.

Boating

We went boating on Friday night to Utah Lake with my brother Michael, my sister Angie and her finance Jason. It was really fun. I did however get eaten by mosquitos after we were done and getting the boat out. Lizzy got up on the surf board with my brother and Lizzy and Ali got in the water for a little bit.

Bridal Veil Falls

For FHE the other night we went up to Bridal Veil Falls to play in the water and have peanut butter pie that Shae made. We went up with our friends Gen and Ashton and their new baby Lucy. It was fun, but the water was pretty cold. That didn't stop Elizabeth and Ali from playing in the water. It did however keep Aiden out of the water most of the time. I have to say Ali was the most adventurous. She tried to climb up the mountain and on a big rock.

Sleeping on the trampoline

Sunday night we were all playing on the tramp when I told the kids I used to sleep on my trampoline when I was a kid. Then of course Lizzy and Ali said they wanted to sleep on the tramp. So I told them I would with them. Lizzy and Ali fell asleep fine. But I couldn't sleep. My hips and lower back kept hurting. So finally at 1 or 2 am I decided to come inside and sleep. Ali then woke up and was scared. So I brought the girls inside and we slept in our beds. Maybe we will try another time when I'm not pregnant.

Swimming this summer

We have had a fun time swimming this summer. I think this summer we went swimming more than any other summer. This summer Lizzy has learned how to do a flip off the side of the pool. She also tries to dive off, but it is more of a belly flop. All the kids like going down the big slide. They sit on our laps and wear a life jacket. They have also enjoyed getting a snow cone afterward.
