Relaxing at the Ranch

Brooke, Tif, Sara, and Aubrey (the champions)

Steve and Cody visiting the horses. Cody almost got Steve kicked by the horse because he spooked him. Cody doesn't seem to have Steve's way with animals. (That's why Cody is not smiling)

Steve and Cody in the canoe. It's too bad you can't tell how fast Steve can paddle a canoe from this picture.

Sara, Kylee, Tif, Aub, and Brooke

We just got back from Star Valley where we spent a few days at a ranch. What a beautiful place! There were horses, cows, canoes, four wheelers, and ticks. I liked everything but the ticks. My sister, Sara, had a following of them. I hope she didn't bring any home with her. Although I wasn't up for too many of the activities I did take part in the canoe racing time trials with my sister/teammates and we won the girls division by 15 seconds. I am sure we were very entertaining to watch since none of us really had a clue what we were doing. Mostly I enjoyed being in the cabin with the other moms and babies. Cody enjoyed canoeing and the four wheeling with Steve.

Polka Dots

I don't have anything new to say. Just the same old stuff. I love my little family! These were taken on Kylee's one week birthday (and my due date).

An Eventful Week and a Half

Kylee's first real bath

Cody checking out his new sister at the hospital. (As he was walking up to the hospital to see her he said, "ooooh! I am so excited!")

Our new little family. This picture is cute, but we won't be putting it above the mantle. Hospital gowns make me look fat :)

Kylee is only 3 hours old in this picture.

Here is a picture of my little birthday party. Kylee and I share the same birthday week. Steve and Cody made some brownies for me and decided to put every candle we own in my piece. What a treat!

Life is so good these days with Kylee a part of our family (a little chaotic as well). As Steve already announced Kylee Faith was born on June 1st at 2:22pm. She was 20 inches long and 7 lb. 13 oz. Steve and I think she looks a lot like Cody did when he was baby. It will be fun to see her personality and appearance unfold. It has been interesting to watch Cody adjust as well. He has really started doing a lot of things on his own and has been a big help. Just last night I asked him to put on his pajamas while I fed Kylee and he went in and did it faster than I have ever seen him change his clothes. Wow!

The Real Story

I have receive a lot of complaints about my previous post. It was my first ever and I was trying to convince Tiffany to make it my last through not telling the whole story. 

We woke up Sunday morning planning on having an induction. We casually went to church and casually came home after sacrament meeting. Tiffany's water broke so we went to the hospital. Three hours later Kylee was born in a delivery room not our Honda. Three hours is still felt like a long time for Tif, but at least it wasn't in our car.

One of the best parts of the day for me was when Cody came. He was so excited to see his sister. We counted all of her extremities. since then, he has even been helping me change her diapers. 

Sorry to all of you who just get this by email and don't read the blog comments. Even if you are mad, I am glad it was just a joke because I don't have to clean up our car from delivery.

Here she is.

Kylee Faith Cramer

After a miraculous in-car-birth on the way to the hospital Kylee Faith has finally joined our family.
