Lazy Day

Baby Kamryn is now 10 days old and I believe this was the first time since her birth that I got the girls out of the house for a little fun. I've been feeling so guilty, just letting them watch tv all day long. My friend Krystal invited us over for a play date. As you can see, the girls had so much fun. No matter what Franny and Cookie do, they are always so happy.

Here she is! She's back to her birth weight and is still sleeping a lot! Himmy takes her every other night so we are both getting some good sleep.

Fudge Fever

So, we had fudgesicles after dinner tonight. Here's the proof.

Excuse Me!

For dinner tonight we went to Applebee's. (I still haven't been up to cooking) As a new family of five we actually went to a restaurant and things went fairly well. The girls started out by jumping up and down in the booth but eventually our Super Dad got their attention. I love you Himmy, you're such a wonderful father.

At one point Cookie had to go out to the car with Himmy for a little time out. During their absence, Franny and I ordered our food. Franny promptly ordered first. She stuck her finger in the air and said, "Excuse me, I'll have a corn dog and some broccoli." Just like that. She knew exactly what her and Cookie would be sharing. Who knew a four year old and a two year old loved broccoli so much.

So in Love

Baby Kamy,

We couldn't love you more.

Franny and Cookie love you so much they try to share their chips with you.

I love you so much I want to hold you all day and watch you sleep.

Daddy loves you so much too, he told all the nurses so when you were born.

Love love love,

Your family.

Baby K is HERE!

Early this morning Baby K was born. She was 7lbs 4oz and 21 inches long. We were able to have another successful VBAC. We are both doing very well, just trying to catch up on sleep since she was born at 2:35 am. Thank you for all your support and prayers! We love you all.

Love, The Foutch Family

Quick Update

I am HUGE. Only 9 days till my due date. Nothing fits anymore expect Himmy's clothes.

Franny puked every 30 minutes last night. We are all exhausted. I am praying that no one else gets it. Please put in a good word for us too!

My mom had her gallbladder out on monday and she is trying to recover.

Yesterday was my dad's birthday! Happy Birthday DAD~!!

Cookie is potty training. She's doing well with it.

Hopefully I'll be posting something better soon. Sorry I've been absent for a while. Hope everyone is well!!

love, K

Burp! Cloths

Here's some burp cloths that I finished the other day. I really love how they turned out. I used scraps of flannel and some of the scraps even had to be pieced. It's amazing what you can make with scraps! If you would like a simple how to/pattern on these please let me know if you are interested. They are super quick and super cute! Enjoy!

love, K

This receiving blanket was made by my mom and she gave me scraps of the fabric so I could make a matching burp cloth.

A Mobile Upload: Featuring a Belly Shot

I have had a lot of requests lately for a belly shot. I thought for a while and realized that the only recent photos of myself were on my phone. So yes, I got the pictures off my phone just for you. I hope you enjoy these mobile photos!!

While I was shopping at Macy's the girls were having so much fun with the puzzles!

An Unexpected Gift

Yesterday I was at the playground with my girls and my neighbor walked over to me with this in her arms:

I was so surprised! She had made me a diaper cake complete with some beautiful peonies! She is so sweet! Her and her husband are from Japan. They came to the US about 5 years ago and they now have a 2 year old daughter.

Thank you Eri! You made my day!!

Where Have I Been?

I have been relaxing at my parents house where they spoiled me and the girls for a whole week! Himmy dropped us off while he went back home to work. After the week was over, the girls and I did not want to leave. Here's a few pictures. The first is the front porch and the next two are of my mom's cute kitchen.

One of the many ways that my parents spoiled my girls was by giving them ice cream after every meal. Seriously, could they look any more content?

Here's a photo of my cute mom making popcorn tootsie pop balls. Her and my dad serve in the singles ward and they had to make the treats for family night. This treat has been a tradition in our family.When it was my birthday growing up, my mom would always make these to bring to my class! Everyone loves them!

In other news:

My package came from when I won Jane's giveaway. Inside were two pairs of fab earrings and a box of SPARKLERS! Thanks Jane!

A Day at the Park

Cookie is doing better this morning. Thank Goodness! It's so good to see her smile again. I swear she's had angry eyes for the last 4 days.



I took Franny to the park the other day. She LOVED this park. It has a big pond with ducks, turtles, and snakes! Yes, Snakes! They were harmless little gardner snakes. Even so, I was still grossed out. I really don't like snakes. It was a beautiful day. My favorite picture is the one of the tree blossoms.




PS- I won a giveaway! Thanks for drawing my name out of the hat JANE!

Wishing I Could have been there!

I shed a tear when I woke up Saturday morning. Little miss Cookie woke up with a super high temperature. I ran her to the quick care and found she has strep throat. Dang. That meant that I couldn't be here-

I had been dreaming of this event for over a year now but instead I was at home nursing a sick baby back to health. She cried from 7am to 7pm. I tried everything to help her feel better. Tylenol and Ibuprofen. Popsicles. Gatorade. When I held her she wanted down and when I put her down she wanted up. She was so sick she didn't know what she wanted. I was so frustrated! At one point I just cried with her. When she saw the tears coming from my eyes she stopped to watch. Funny, that the only time she stopped crying was to watch me cry! So yes, I missed the best antiques show in the Inland Northwest to be with this sweet girl all day long. Cookie, you'll always be worth it to me! I love you!

Nature at it's finest!

Our friends tooks us out to enjoy some good old mother nature. We had such a great time. Thank you Brandon and Sarah!
