Baby #5

Proud Dad and his third son:

Close the lid and off we go. Nice little napping place.


The BoyZ:
We had so much fun with this family the other night. We took pictures, ate dinner, and chatted a ton. The kids played and played and played:
The girlZ:

For Grandma

Here you go Grandma. Me at 6 months with baby #7. I don't see Nate much and rarely in the daylight so you'll have to wait for a photo of him. It's not easy getting photos of us as I am the one taking the photos. Halley was a trooper and took this one for you.

Enjoy

My how you've grown!!

We all decided we needed to start 2010 off with what we all look like so that at the end of the year we can compare ourselves to ourselves and see all the changes.

And Trae (or Traema as we all call him) at 1:
We are still pregnant and have a due date for later in April. We are pretty sure our boy will have the name of Vance Niklas when he is born. We are excited to see this little guy. I was telling Nate the other day that even after having 6 children already, I STILL don't particularly like giving birth and honestly not much about pregnancy either. But, someone's got to do it and I'm the kind of person that would rather be the one in pain rather than watching someone else and not be able to do anything about it.

We are SOOOOO enjoying life right now with these munchkins. Each day is definitely a 'new' day and that saying has a whole new meaning to me after being a mom for nearly 8 years.

Nate and I are learning so much about each other and the different ways each of us operates. I've so enjoyed living life with my best friend for almost 9 years now and having that best friend be even more of a best friend over the years (if that's possible?)

Our relatives the Engens!

The girls:

Not the baby anymore, Adriane... she has a frown as well as a smile that when she chooses to use either of them they are 'for real' and get right to the heart. I had to be pretty sneaky in getting shots of her but we got some really nice ones:
The eldest of all the cousins is Elise. She's practically as tall as me now and very responsible and attentive to others around her:


Triana looks so good in this color of blue. She's here trying to keep the wind from making her hair fly away. Triana is quiet and very lovable:


Tate was THE MAN as he was the first in line to get his photos taken and bore with all the changes I made to get the lighting right:

Two posts ago are of this little guy Stian. Babies change so much even from one to three weeks:

Simon has the biggest smile and LOVES getting his picture taken:

The award for the most cheerful face goes to Sonja:

A very proud mom and dad to all the above children:

The Boys:
Making this one an aged style photo brings out their faces and the many designs of all their sweaters:
