Welcome Baby Eric

So late Sunday night Jason and I had a big surprise when my water broke all over our bed. We hurried to the hospital and it was a good thing we did because 2 and half hours after my water broke Eric Alan Kjar was born by C-section, weighing in at 5 lbs and 14 ounces, he was 19 in. long and was the sweetest little baby I have ever seen. Sorry Josh he was sweeter than you even. The miracle in all this was he was delivered at 36 weeks and 4 days with no complications or health issues. Our family has felt very blessed and are so grateful to have Eric in our home. I look very tired in the pictures because Eric was delivered at 2:58 am Monday morning. Jason had a very pleasant late Fathers day gift from heavenly Father.

Apple Pie

I've never actually tried to make a pie before but I felt it was at least time to try. My grandmother was very good at making pies and my father got even better so I was always a little intimidated to try. So I made an Apple pie as my first attempt and it turned out very pretty. It tasted really good too. I admit I did cheat on the crust I used a prepared crust but I did the rest of the work.

Kjar Garden

Spinach
our first tomato



We planted a garden from seeds back at the beginning of May hoping it would grow but not really knowing if our efforts were worth it. So when we saw lots of growth we were ecstatic. Just goes to show that a little faith and a lot of water and sunshine can do for first time gardeners. We were even able to find the first tomato!

Art belongs on paper not on my walls

Josh has gotten very good at drawing lately, but last night while I was cooking dinner he took it upon himself to redecorate my bedroom. When your three year old is quiet that is when you should start panicking. I walked into my bedroom and saw him first drawing on all my white pillows then I looked at the wall and the wall next to it and my blinds and I swear I saw red. I wish I had had the foresight to take a picture of the disaster. I was able to get the black pen off the walls but not the pillows or the blinds. I'm still working on the blinds. I did take a pictures of Josh drawing a picture of himself and his daddy. When he is drawing the right way it sure is adorable.

Weekend Fun

What a weekend Jason and I took our small family over to Folsom CA over the weekend to spend some time with the family. We had to miss Jason's brother's graduation on Thursday due to work but were able to celebrate later with him. While we were there I was eaten alive by some bug and was blessed to have fat feet all weekend. Saturday Jenna, Kyle and Jason, Josh and I went to the park to play and I think Kyle and Jason had just as much fun on the toys as Josh did. After we left to go home Jason's sister's, water broke so now Jason and I have a new nephew. Now if only she could have done that twelve hours sooner we could have seen the baby. Great timing Jenna. I love family and all the blessings that come with family. I posted some of the pictures that I took from our trip.
