Visit from Grandma

We'd like to say a BIG

THANK YOU

to Grandma Shelley!

The girls had a great time

last week with their fun 

GRANDMA SHELLEY!

I had a chance to rest a lot and

spend most of my attention on my sweet little Rilee

last week because of my kind

MOTHER IN LAW!

Thank you for coming and helping us all out!

We love you! :)

Rilee Mathilde Shelley

Our sweet Rilee came into the world really fast!

(Luckily I was little more prepared this time having delivered Karli so quickly as well!)

At around 7:45 a.m.,

 I realized that I was having "real" contractions and called Tyler and my mom.

By the time my dear mother got to my house,

Ty still had about 15 minutes to get home...

so my mom drove me to the hospital

and we met Tyler there a few minutes later

(at around 8:30)

My mom left, I was taken to the delivery room.

Tyler was asking for an epidural for me,

sweet,

but no time. 

Rilee was born at 8:45 a.m.

weighing 6 lbs

measuring 17 1/2 inches long

She had a little trouble breathing

and spent an hour like this...

Alexa and Karli were so cute

when they came to meet their new baby sister for the first time! 

They walked in with the biggest smiles...

The first picture of our new family of five!

Look how tiny she looks in the car seat :)

Getting ready to go home

Rilee at home

with her proud big sisters.

they love her so much!

keeping out of the cold

The weather is cold outside, so we try to find fun things to do inside!

We went mini golfing at Trafalga

(that pass of all passes is a great thing!)

and enjoyed the 4D shows.

Fishy Kisses

Karli's favorite part...

climbing up and putting the ball in,

and then watching it pop out down below!

We've also been enjoying the Rec Center!

Getting a racquetball court for an hour

is a great way to get all those wiggles out!

We went to Cabela's with some of Ty's fam

while Ashley was in town...

here is the ONE picture I took

of cousin Nathan, Alexa, and Karli enjoying the fish!

I know the warm weather will come, but it sure takes its time!

We are lucky when we have a warm enough day

to go outside for a walk or to the park...we LOVE those days :)

welcome to our new family blog!
