Visiting Jonas

So many family and friends have come by to visit baby Jonas. We love our visitors and are so grateful for their love and support.Steve's mom with Jonas in the hospital!Grandma Lene's first time holding Jonas in the hospital.
The night we got home, Melody, Braxton, and Trenton came to visit and bing gifts. The boys sure adore Jonas and keep trying to talk their mom into having another baby, haha, I don't think it will happen!Trenton fights with everyone to hold this little guy. He is such a big helper and does so well with Jonas!This is the first time Grandpa Keith got to hold Jonas. I think this is such a nice picture!We had a lot of visitors come by for Memorial Day. This is Steve's sister Annie with her daughter Jaylee.And this is Steve's brother Sean who also came on Memorial Day. He was loving time with Jonas.Great-grandma Niesporek. Isn't she cute?

He is so handsome.After his first time at church. I thought he looked nice in this flannel shirt.And Jonas' favorite visitor, his sister. She has to have time with him everyday. What a great big sister!

School Girl

Amongst all the craziness that happens with a new baby, Kiana started school. It is a summer school at the elementary to help them get ready for kindergarten. It is only like $15.00 for 5 weeks. Kiana is loving it and feels like such a BIG girl. Her teacher is Mrs. Karma, whom we all adore, and she has a lot of friends that are in her class too!
My baby is getting so big!

Hot Stuff

I have a friend that offered to take newborn pictures of Jonas. He sure is a handsome dude!
Thanks Jami, they turned out great! Jonas would not cooperate, but I think we still got some good ones!

Park Fun

We had so much fun with Daddy when he had off work for a few weeks. Kiana had kindergarten testing one of the days, so they couldn't go far. We decided to have an adventure close to home. We just went to a park and had lunch. It was a nice, sunny day for once. The girls enjoyed running around, playing on the playground and swings, and Steve and Kiana practiced some soccer moves. Steve rarely has the opportunity to practice with her, but she has improved immensely this year!

We had a lot of fun! Hopefully the weather can cooperate so we can enjoy the summer and have more fun before Kiana starts school.

My Little Man

I am enjoying every minute I have with this guy, maybe not the 3 am feedings, but most of the others!

Steve and Jonas like hanging out! I think Steve has needed a little "guy time."

Isn't he such a handsome little man?!? He is doing really well and growing fast. We haven't ventured out much and when we have Steve has been with me so I haven't had to do 3 kids all by myself. Still a little scary for me, the inexperienced.

The girls are really doing well with Jonas, they love him so much and like to tell me what he needs. Good thing I have them to help.

Our little man has made a big difference in our family and we love it! He is so sweet and special.

Steve had off for two weeks when Jonas was born, and though it wasn't much of a vacation, we thought it might be fun for him and the girls to visit our local fun spots. Steven, his mom, and the girls enjoyed going to the Children's Museum and Chuck E. Cheese. They went bowling with my parents and Trenton for a Family Home Evening, and they went by themselves to the Dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point. They were also planning on the zoo, but Steve hurt his back, and I think he had had enough fun.

Steve always forgets to take pictures, so we didn't get many, though there are some on the phones. I'm glad they got to get out a little and enjoy the time off, I think it helped the girls with the transition with new baby too!

Thanks Daddy, we love you!

Kiana loves holding her brother!

Every chance Kiana gets, she is holding her baby brother. She tells me, "He loves me," or "He can only sleep in my arms." She is pretty soft and loving with him.
She does a pretty good job holding him, and will be even more help when he gets just a little bigger and can hold his own head up! We all love spending time with our sweet new addition!
