 Baby Cooper!!

 Mom was here for two weeks to help Kristen with a new baby. Dad came over the weekend to meet his newest grandchild.

 My girls LOVE each other so much. They are sweet sisters!

 Never a dull moment at our house. While Kristen is on maternity leave I am watching the child she usually watches. We have Katelyn, Nathan, Carson, and Kennedi.

 The girls taking care of their babies.

 Katelyn is cougar of the week!

 The girls apparently watch me change enough diapers. Now they want to change their baby dolls diaper which is cute until they pull out the diaper cream. Then I have to remind them their baby doesn't need it!

Walking in daddy's shoes!

Morning at the park 8-31-13

While Grandma and grandpa Wilder were in town we decided to go to the duck park. We went in the morning to try to beat the heat, but it was still HOT!

 Grandma and grandpa bought them bubble whistles to use at the park.

Cooper has arrived!! 8-25-13

I got the call at 3:30AM that Kristen's water had broken at 12:45AM. I got ready and hurried to the hospital. I hoped that Kristen wasn't one of those women that had the baby right after the water breaks! I didn't want to miss the delivery. Cooper took his time getting here. Mom was even able to hop in the car and drive all the way from Vegas and make it in time for the delivery. It was interesting being on the sidelines instead of the one having the baby. Most would think I would be far from wanting another one after seeing Kristen go through a long labor, but my heart aches to have another little one. I was very happy to be there for Coopers arrival into this world.

Welcome Cooper Otto Hall

 Katelyn has school pictures today!!

This is how we roll!!  I watch Kennedi and Carson while their mom teaches. I decided to take them to the library for storytime.

Katelyn's first day of Kindergarten 8-7-13

Katelyn was very ready for the school year to begin. I kept debating on putting Katelyn into my school that I taught at for 9 years or the school by our house. I knew all the teachers at Canyon Rim and I knew they would take care of my little kindergartener. In the end we decided it would be easier to have her at Boulder Creek, so she could ride the bus. I knew one of the kindergarten teachers and prayed Katelyn would get her. Once Ms. Valenzuela realized Katelyn would be in kindergarten she made sure to get Katelyn into her class. That made me feel better about her going to a new school. (I taught both of Ms. Valenzuela's girls.)

 Meet the teacher night-Checking her classroom and officially meeting her new teacher, Ms. Valenzuela,

 First day of school!!

On her second day Katelyn rode the bus. She was very excited and never worried about the number of kids or the size of the bus. The bus driver takes good care of her and is very protective of the younger students. She knows all the kids by name.
