5 Years

My handsome Kade and I, just two weeks before having our little Owen.... our five year anniversary was June 12th. Its crazy that time has flown so, but it also seems like I have never been without him!!! I love it! Just have to say thank you to this wonderful man for loving me so boldly and completely. My whole heart is yours, you handsome redneck!!!!

Also notable: Our 3 year old took this picture! He definitely has skills, or as he calls them, "skittles."

Newest Arrival

Owen Weston Klingler. (This is his "half awake/ half asleep" face)

Sleeping on Grandpa Bowen. Don't know if you can tell from this picture, but he has some distinctive "elfin" ears. They are kinda squishied up! SO CUTE!

This was SO PRECIOUS. Owen was asleep on my bed, and Payton came in and wanted to cuddle with me up there. Payton promtly fell asleep as well. I left to make dinner, and when I peeked in the room to check on them, Payton had reached over in his sleep to hold Owen's hand. My heart MELTED!!!!

As of today, July 16th, Owen is 2.5 weeks old!!!!!

The Double Jogger

So, we were debating as to whether or not we should buy the BOB Double Jogger, but I couldn't bring myself to do it because of the price. So, my cute husband, knowing I wanted something cheaper, but top of the line, did some research until he found me this stroller. Its a SCHWINN brand, and very nice!!!!! 300$ as opposed to the one for 598$ that we were originally going to get. Thought it was worth sharing!!!! It pushes like a dream!!! Thanks for all the advice and opinions on stollers that I got from friends along the way.

Owen Weston Klingler

Born June 29th, 5:30am. 7 lbs 2 oz. 20 inches long! What a sweetheart! We are so excited to have him! More pics to come!!

Making precious memories.

Last weekend Kade took Payton with him to and some friends to golf nine holes. (kade recently bought Petey some REAL lefty clubs, and he practices like CRAZY!) We weren't sure he could do all that walking (he is more suited for the children's course at Sandcreek) but he BEGGED Kade to let him come, and I hinted at it as well so I could get a nap!!! They had fun and Payton did great !(only had to be carried on one or two rare occasions.... running to the potty being one of them!!!haha) When they got home, Kade was in a hurry to get the lawned mowed before it rained, so he told Payton "go in a take your shoes off and tell mommy that we are home!" Well, he didn't make it that far. He walked in the door and as far as the shoe rack in the mud room, and was aparantly spent, as he later told me he "walked a long long way and did a hard work!!!!" Kade came and got me to come witness the sight. Apparently the tile was comfortable enough after all that long long walking and hard work!!! He was content to nap there! HOW CUTE!!! Had to take a snapshot!

K- TWO QUESTIONS!!

I need opinions friends!

#1)
I have my heart set on a BOB double jogger, and am shopping around trying to find a good deal. Anyone know of the best place to order one???? AND, more importantly, I want to know from ladies with doubles, is it better to get a stationary front wheel or a swivel front????? I was thinking swivel, but dont know. I don't think I will be using it to go off road much, but just typical jogging at the park or around my neigborhood, and an occasional stroller class in the hills. What do you think????

#2)
I am behind in getting Payton set up for Pre-school in the fall. I was planning on taking him to the Red Apple in Ammon, and then we moved. I have heard of some here in Rigby but don't know which ones are REALLY good, and I am too freaked out to go just sign him up for whichever one. I want to know that he is going to get an actual education there... that it has a good reputation. Anyone know of any in the Rigby area, or wouldn't mind asking around for me. I am on the lookout!!!!

WE HAVE ARRIVED!

Sorry to our friends or family who feel as if we have left them hanging! Have we dropped off the face of the Earth??? No, but we are in our beautiful house in Rigby now, and loving it... but taking time to settle in. We officially moved all our belongings in a little less than two weeks ago, and have since been in the process of trying to get organized (while being physically limited... THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL OUR HELPERS... especially my mom), finishing up the dance season with recital and auditions, and finally..... CLOSING ON OUR HOUSE so it is offically ours.

Promise to post pics tomorrow ! (when I am not soaking in the tub at 2;30 in the morning due to killer pain that doesn't go away OR progress (thank goodness for that part at least!)

Questions about that in the next post. (perhaps you have advice???)
