Look at me!


On the day Kingston was born, Grandpa went out to buy a riding motorcyble for the kids. Dakota loves the it. Of course it's a Harley Davis and actually goes pretty fast. We can't wait for this summer for the kids to be able to take it outside to ride.

Coloring Easter Eggs






What fun Haleigh and Dakota had coloring their easter eggs. At first Dakota was not sure what he was doing, but as he watched Haleigh he figured out it was going to be a lot of fun.
He soon was putting his own eggs into the different colors.
Dakota had so much fun his little hands are still pink from the dye. He ended up using his hands to take the eggs out of the dye instead of the little egg holder the kits come with, he just couldn't figure out how to use it. Haleigh had no problem using the little egg holder.
Haleigh was a wonderful sport, she very patienly waited for Kodi to be all done dipping his eggs for her turn. Dakota did not want to share the dyes at all. Haleigh had a lot fun making her eggs sparkle and tye dye, just like Uncle bubba's eggs.
What easter fun they all had.

Our first two weeks with Kingston






Well our family has survied the first two weeks of Kingston live. Dakota still loves his little brother. We are starting to see a bit of unhappiness with his new little brother being here. We have gone back to having a fit when it's time to get into the car and not wanting to change our clothes.

Maybe one day Dakota will figure it all out. I am hoping that this will end soon and we will be right back to being happy and loving life. Kingston is a little eatter. When he came home from the Hospital he was 7lbs and 2oz, when the home nurse came three days later he was 7lbs and 4oz. He had his first Dr check up last friday and he was 7lbs and 6oz. On Thursday he had his weight check again to make sure he was gaining, and he was 8 lbs and 6oz. He gained a whole pound, what can we expect when he eats every two hours and does that all day and night.

He is a good little boy, and he is a keeper.

Dakota doesn't like it when Kingston cries, he holds him hands over his ears and says "STOP BABY STOP". We are working on having him tell Kingston it's ok. We had our first family pictures yesterday and they turned out pretty good. I just wish Dakota would have been a little less shy, but we have one more sitting with Flash so next month will be back to get more pictures of the boys.

We went for our first walk of the spring. It was around 50 degress, so we took the kids around the lake and let them play in the melting snow and have a good time. We all can't wait for spring to fully be here.

More pictures of Kingston






Kingston River Hamblin





Dakota would like to announce the birth of his little brother. Kingston River Hamblin was born on March 1st at 1:08 am. My Sister Katy and Adam were there to help me and Aaron out during the Birth. It was great to have such a support team. Grandma took Dakota home with her and he spent the night at Grandma's house.
Dakota loves his little brother and loves to help out.

Please enjoy the pictures.

It's cold here!






Dakota and Haleigh have been having so much fun painting these last couple of days! It has been pretty cold here and we are staying inside, so we do a lot of coloring and painting, which they both love. Dakota is really into Dinosaurs right now! That is all he paints and colors. He also doesn't want to take off his dino pj's .

With the temp being so cold we are trying to keep the kids from going crazy as well as us. I am so ready to have this little baby. But we are still waiting!

Enjoy some of our pictures for the last couple of weeks. Dakota loves saying "Cheese" and posing for his picture to be take. He also loves when we turn the music on and he grabs his hockey stick and plays the guitar. It's pretty cute. Out little buddle of joy loves to stick his little butt out and you can see this little bump at the top of my stomach. Needless to say it gives me lots on pain. Dakota can't wait to see his little brother. We talk about about how he is going to be a big brother and how he can help Mommy when the baby comes.

He is very excited about having a baby! Tells anyone who will listen to him about his baby and shows them my stomach. He is a very proud big brother.

Getting ready for Baby!

It's almost time, I can't believe that 9 months have almost pasted. I am in my last couple of days for the 8th month. Our new little addition is ready to make his way into the world. I can't wait, Dakota is finally starting to talk to his little brothers, and loves giving my stomach kisses.
We continue to talk about the new baby and how big brothers act towards their little brothers.
We got a new car seat for the baby and Dakota wanted it in the car right away.
He also loves playing with his baby doll and stroller it around the house and putting it to bed and taking care of it. Haleigh has also been a really big help in getting Dakota ready for the Baby to come. She can't wait to be a big sister, she maybe my niece but she is like a sister to Kodi and I am sure will be the same way with the baby.
March 10th is my due date, but I have been having a lot of pain the last two weeks, and I was told by my Dr, that she won't stop the labor. Who knows when this little one will come. I am hoping sooner than later, but what Mom isn't when she is in her last month.
Am I ready for no sleep and long nights, WAIT I am having them right now. I can't seem to sleep at night. I hate it, I am so ready to be able to sleep on my stomach again.
We will let everyone know when the baby arrives.
