McKenna Kay Suter

McKenna was born October 18th at 9:58pm. She weighed 7lbs 3.5 oz and was 20.5 inches long. Above is a picture of me Sunday morning just waiting for her to make her entrance.

This is the fold out chair that Blake slept in for 3 nights, I am sure it wasn't comfortable but it was nice to have him there.
This is one of my favorite picture of her while we were in the hospital.


She has lots of dark hair, she got that from Blake, was bald when I was born. She has daddy wrapped around her finger already.

She got Blake's hair but she got my toes.
I love the face she is making in this picture.

The baby burrito :)
Loving Grandma Kathy. Getting ready to come home.

This was the closest to open eyes as we could get.
First Family picture.
All ready to go. One of the nurses at the hospital made the camo hat.





First day home, loving daddy.

Dad thought she needed a bow in her hair.

Summer Holiday's AKA Memorial Day and 4th of July

We spent Memorial Day in Star Valley with Blake's family. On the way we stopped in Logan to see Andrew and Leisa. This is a picture of Blake playing at the park with Cole. He is going to be such a great dad.

It rained all weekend, but it stopped long enough one afternoon for us to have a BBQ.
Grandma Suter, Ali and Lisa.
Curtiss, Trevor, Dennis, Danielle, Cole and Stacia.
Tyler, Blake and Jake..... probably talking about hunting.

Kylie, Ashley and Grandma Suter.
Denise, Me, Jackie and Jacetin.
We spent the 4th of July at my mom and dad's house. This is Bella in the back of the truck on our way to Moon Lake for a hot dog roast. Blake says she needs a truck to ride in all the time.
Bella playing with Gus.....I think they were friends Blake says no.
My family plays a game called golf shoes...kind of like horse shoes except with golf balls on strings. ( It came from Grandma Kays brothers family in Canada.) Any way we had a tournament. Dad and Grandpa John won but did not go undefeated. You play in teams and you stand across from your partner.
Morgan and Paige's John.
Paige and Mom ( Mom and Morgan were a team and Paige and John)
Mom and Dad
Blake and Zaq ( whitney's boyfriend)

Morgan and Grandpa John. Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma and Megan went fishing and caught a ton of crawdads. So we played with them a little bit before we ate them. I think they were more fun alive then to eat.
Grandpa letting one crawl on Mallory's hand.

Megan trying to get brave enough to pick one up. Just when she did Grandpa poked her in the side and scared her half to death. Blake picked up these two that were stuck together.
Grandps trying to get one to pinc somebody.
Grandma Connie, John, Paige and Morgan.

Baby

Here are the ultrasound pictures from today ( 23 weeks). The baby didn't cooperate so we still don't know what it is and we decided to just wait til it is born and be surprised. Based on what we saw or didn't see today I would guess it is a girl but I really don't know. The heart rate has been about 150 every time and I have had really bad heartburn so if you would like to speculate on the sex based on that feel free but we will know in October!! The first picture is its little foot just over an inch long.....so tiny.



This is the best shot she could get of the face.
This is the profile, it had its back to us almost the whole time.

Baby stuff

We bought a changing table on craigslist for $40 but it was kind of plain so I decided to paint it. I wanted to do teddy bears but NOBODY had bear stencils. Finally Paige being the brilliant person that she is suggested that I look online... so I did and found so really really cute bears. The worst part was cutting them out and then it took me a week to paint because I only had six stencils.....but it was all worth it. It turned out so so cute. So here are some pictures.

This is a view of the whole table.
These are the little sleeping bears on the top.
Both doors have the same bears on them so I only took one picture.
This is a close up of the little ones.
And the ones down the doors.

Just a side note my unltrsound is scheduled for the 23rd of this month so feel free to put in a vote for what you think the baby is and I will let you know in a couple of weeks.

One Year.

We have lived in Cheyenne for a year this week. Holy Cow. Anyway here are some pictures, I tried not to post ones that have been posted before.
These first two is what our backyard looked like the day we had a tornado warning. That was kind of a scary day, we had only lived here for a couple of weeks.


This is a picture of the State Capitol Building. Cheyenne is the Capitol (in case you didn't figure that out). They give trolley tours of historic downtown... we went one of the first weekends we lived here. That is where I took this picture.
This is the statue of Lane Frost outside Frontier Park....where they have the rodeo every year. This is the rodeo where he died.
This is that Daddy of the All Statue at Frontier Park.....the Rodeo is called the Daddy of them all. It is the world's largest outdoor rodeo. These two pictures are actually from the December before we moved over here, Blake interviewed for a different job then the one he has now first.


This is Blake a Bella at Superday last year. It is a big celebration that the Parks and Rec Department does to kick off Summer. The assiatant director picked the shirts and all the staff had to wear them so people knew who was in charge.

Baby

Here are some ultrasound pictures we got of the baby today. I have no idea why one is bigger then the other that is the way they scanned into my computer and I can't figure out why. The top one is a little closer up view but also kind of blurry. The parts are labeled if you can't tell what they are. Blake in convinced now that it is a boy. If you have any speculations feel free to post them in the comments. The baby bounce a couple of time while we were watching it was so cool.

April Showers Bring May Flowers

We got a huge snow storm yesterday, the wind blew and it got so bad that in the afternoon the mayor issued a no driving warning. This is what we woke up to this morning. It is still really cold but at least the sun is shining.
These first two pictures are two different views of the drift outside our garage door.

This is the biggest drift in the backyard, it goes half way up the fence. You can also see where bella dove into it chasing her ball.
More bella tunnels and as you can see that the middle of the yard is pretty much clean. The rest of our driveway was the same way except for the hugh drift in front of the garage.
This is the fire hydrant ( or what is left of it) at the edge of our yard. Hope nobody needs it today.
This is a video I took of bella chasing her ball into the snow banks.
