Kalen-Swimming

Today we went swimming with Marie and baby Sam. When we got there Gwen and I did pencil dives and cannonballs. Gwen and I jumped together and made a big splash. Then my Grandma and Reece came. Then we played whoever did the biggest splash wins! After that we went in the baby pool. We played tag in the baby pool. I love playing tag. It was so easy because the pool is so small. After that we dried off. Then we went home. At home we had family home evening. For family home evening we all picked a name. The name that you got would be your secret buddy. Were doing secret buddies to learn how to serve each other.

Kalen- Swimming with my freind Joe.

Yesterday my family went swimming with the Stepans. Joe and I did races in the baby pool. Joe cheated by jumping out of the pool and ran to the finish line. We did pencil dives in the deep end. I tricked Joe when he said jump and then I didn't jump. Then he did it to me. Then we swam to the little pool. I had to go with my mom to go get my scout shirt on because Joe's mom was going to take Joe and I to scouts. This morning my Grandma took us to Cup and Saucers.

Shane Lawrence Klippel

 

Thursday, July 9th, 2009, we welcomed Shane Lawrence Klippel into the world. He was and probably still is 7lbs 7oz and 20inches long. He has freakishly long fingers and toes and will certainly be talled than Kalen. Mom and Baby are doing great, Dad and the kids are doing good too. We went to the Hospital at 1am and Shane came to us at 8:39am, after one push. The nurse said we should have video taped it because it was truely a work of art. (How easy Shauna's labor is. Yeah for Epidurals!) She pushed once and out he came. It was really a sweet miracle.

Kalen-The new baby!

A couple days ago my mom had a new baby! His name is Shane. He sleeps a lot. I love holding him. When he sleeps he smiles. He is always hungry. He can't eat anything but milk. His eyes are blue. He doesn't cry that much.
