Altas first few weeks.

Here are some photos of Altas first few weeks. She has been so fun! She is a great eater, a wonderful sleeper, she is really calm and is cute as can be!! I am eating up every moment with my sweet girl!

Sweet baby feet!


My mom came to help me the day after Alta was born. She was able to stay two weeks and it was two weeks of pure bliss!! It was so nice to have my mom all to myself. That is unheard of! There are so many children and grandchildren that she is constantly running and always stretched so thin. I felt pretty spoiled and so did my kids!

My kids adored having their grandma with them all day! I was a little nervous that they would not let her do things for them and want me... but no way! They LOVED having grandma take care of them.

This picture is so funny! Troop is constantly snuggling Alta and is always rubbing his lips over her hair and forehead. He must like how soft she feels.

Zanna helping with the cooking!

Snuggled up on the "little sak" as Zanna calls it.

The boys.

The girls.
Don't mind all my post pregnancy weight in my face... ;)

My mom woke up early every morning with the kids and would get up with Troop in the middle of the night when he would wake (he is not that great of a sleeper), Made us all carrot-apple-celery juice every morning, made big beautiful salads, delicious healthy smoothies, she made whole wheat pancakes with fresh ground flour for breakfast, she cleaned, did laundry, dishes, scrubbed all of my carpets on her hands and knees, and waited on our all of our needs. Seriously I got spoiled. I had a nanny, maid and cook all in one amazing woman. I barely lifted a finger!!

My little love sleeping. She is too funny, she always has a scowl when she sleeps!

Snuggled up with daddy.
Jathan is such a wonderful dad & husband. He helped so much with the kids and was right alongside my mom with the cooking. I am thankful he was able to take a week and a half off.
I love that MR.



We sent my mom home with lots of Salmon, Halibut, Moose and Buffalo for our families as a thank you.
Look at all that meat!

It was so hard to see my mom go. I sobbed!! I am so grateful she was able to come help. It was an interesting transition having her leave. Plus she really spoiled Jathan... Now he is use to all of this great healthy food! I have a lot to live up to.
Thank you so much mom. I love and miss you!!!

You make me miss my mom. Mom's are the best. They know exactly what you need, when you need it, and how to do it. I'm glad she got to come spoil you rotten for a couple of weeks.
