My Niece is Here!!

Welcome to the world big girl. Harper Jenni Bohnen was born on January 14th at 7:26am. She weighed 9 lbs and 12 oz. And was 20 1/2 inches long.


They scheduled a cesarean for the morning of the 14th, because they did an ultrasound on Wednesday the 13th, ( 4 days after her due date, and no signs of coming out anytime soon) and realized that Harper was around 10 lbs. Those of you who know my sister know that she is not very big at all, and there is NO way that a 10 lb baby was going to squeeze out of her. Mom, her friend Geoff and I hit the road to Cedar Park, Texas Wednesday night. We finally arrived at 11pm that night and got a few hours of sleep before the big day. Here are a few pics of the little family of 3 ( and some friends)...

Look at all that dark hair!!!

Proud Daddy!!

Cute pics of my Allie

Attempting to do pushups like her daddy!!

Christmas 2009

So, we had a crazy crazy Christmas. A little overwhelming, but we had a blast. We started out at the Miner's on Christmas Eve. And of course I forgot my camera. I was too worried about the drive over there that it completely slipped my mind. Oops!!

We had Santa's gifts at our house in the morning. I couldn't get my child to sit for two second, so this was the only pic I got.

Christmas morning was at my mom's house. We picked up Haylie and Liam in Brock's work truck. Talk about a little crowded!!

Then off to my grandparents. My dad wasn't able to make it, so we had to go back the day after Christmas.

Then, Saturday we went back to my mom's house to see the rest of my family that didn't make it Christmas day.

Allie doing a little dance for the camera. Too Cute!!

Back to my grandparents.

First Haircut!!

So, we finally took Allie to get her first haircut. She doesn't have much, but what she does have is "crazy". It goes every which way it wants to. She was a trooper and didn't mind it at all. Doesn't Brock look so cute in the Zebra smock?? I had to take the pictures!! :)

Halloween Past and Present!!

So, Brock and I have both been really big on Halloween. We love dressing up and usually have a Halloween party. The last couple of years we have not due to Allie's arrival last year and this year I threw a baby shower for Jill on the same weekend of Halloween.

Brock has always been a good sport on dressing up and will go for anything. I have a couple of pics from the past Halloweens so you can see as well as this years pictures of Trick or Treating with Allie.

Halloween 2006

Brock was Dorothy and I was Glenda the Good Witch from Wizard of Oz.

Halloween 2007

Brock was Richard Simmons and I was his workout protege. I just love the short shorts on Brock. Really shows off his legs. :) I had a sumo suit on underneath that blew up, a little uncomfortable but I think it made the costume.

Halloween 2009

Brock was Popeye and I was Olive Oil. Brock begged to be a more masculine character this year.

Allie then was Swee' Pea. I know in the cartoons. Swee' Pea was a boy that wore red, so Allie is the girl version in Blue. Ms. Terri made Allie's costume. It looked so cute on her. A little dress with a train.


Here you can see the back of it. Too cute!!!

Pictures!!!!

Yeah, we finally got to take Allie's year pictures/ family photo's yesterday. We had to cancel twice because of the rain. We met our photographer Angel Porch at the Farmer's Market downtown for our session. It was a little cold but I think she got some great photos. I can't wait to see all of them. Here are a few she had posted on her website. A little sneak peak. I will post more once we get to view them Enjoy!!!

Allie was such a drama queen. She kept posing and making the funniest faces.

Czech Festival

We took Allie to the Czech Festival in Yukon this year. We all had a great time. We arrived just in time to see the end of the parade, listen to some polka/czech music, buy or kolache's and eat a little. All was well until we got home and Brock has gotten food poisiong from something. YUCK!! Poor daddy .

(Yes, Allie still fits in her infant car seat. We bought her a new one but she still likes this one. And since she is so little, Dr. Bowen wants us to keep her rear facing until she grows/gains more weight. :) )
