Finished the baby girl "everyday" quilt today! Always feels so good to finish a project and check something off the list.
Two more baby projects complete! This is all you'll see for a bit, as the last quilt is far from done. Crib bumpers and a crib skirt. Now to see which gender of stuff I will use!
Yesterday was the 100th day of school for Brynlee and she got to dress up like she was 100 years old. She loved the idea until she saw the wrinkles I drew on, then she wasn't such a fan.
36 weeks with a cute photo bomber! I can't believe the little one will be here in 4 short weeks. I'm feeling good, but definitely big enough that I have to wake up to turn over at night. Baby is super active but made his/her way back to head down the week. Now, the nesting can begin!
37 weeks! Feeling pretty good! Baby is super active and sitting very low. My to-do list is shrinking while I am definitely not. I'm starting to look forward to baby snuggles and a slower pace of life.
Thanks to a birthday/Christmas gift from Grandma Lopez, Ronnie and Easton were able to go to the Lakers/Nuggets game this week. The weather and drive down were horrible but the overtime outcome was great! They had a great time!
Our Kendree turned 10 today! She got two celebrations, one with extended family yesterday and one with our family today! As she was headed to bed she told me this was her best birthday ever, so I think we succeeded. Kendree is the best big sister. She can legitimately take care of any member of the family and do an amazing job. She loves making friends and chatting with everyone and we love her enthusiasm for life! Happy Birthday Kenny-girl!
We are thrilled to announce the arrival of Whitnee Keri Lopez! She arrived at 3:36am on 02/20/2020 at 6 lb. 9 oz. and 19.5 inches. Mama and baby are doing great and excited to be home from the hospital. The kids adore her and she never wants for willing hands to hold her. We are all smitten and love our Whitnee!
We sure have been loving our time with sweet Miss Whitnee!
A little Sydnee update. Sydnee is getting better and better at talking but still does the entire upper body not for the word "yes." She loves her siblings and is quick to tackle and wrestle anyone remotely at her level. Hallee and Sydnee were cute to snuggle together and watch a show. One day as I was making lunch, it was quiet but I assumed Syd had made her way to the girls room to help herself to their toys. I walked into the family room to find her crashed out on the floor.
Devynee got two new pairs of glasses today! She is having the hardest time deciding which ones to wear to school tomorrow!
The kids got to come meet Whitnee in the hospital on 02/20/2020 Sydnee LOVED her (as did everyone else) and cried and cried when it was Grandma's turn to hold the baby. It was so fun to watch everyone ooh and aah over their new sister.
Our first picture as a family of NINE! Nine. So amazing and so crazy! Love these kids and the life we have with them. Taken 02/20/2020.
Kendree played city rec basketball this year and enjoyed it! It was fun watching her and her teammates improve through the season!
Easton also enjoyed playing basketball this season. He has spent time perfecting his game and shot and it has shown through the season.
Today (2/29) is my kids favorite day, Leap Day I feed them ice cream for dinner. As much as they want with all the toppings. These kinds of traditions are the ones I live for. Easy, and I only have to do it once every four years. Before baby Whitnee arrived, the kids expressed concern that I might be in the hospital on Leap Day and who would remember to feed them ice cream for dinner.
We can't get enough of this sweet little one, as evidenced by Sydnee's face in the second picture.
