It's been a month since I last posted some pics of our new little guy...so here are some new ones. We are down south in Utah visiting some family while Matt goes on a motorcycle trip with some friends. We had a great time. Cooper is now just over a month old and Parker seems to be enjoying being the big brother.

Cooper is now 1 week old and has slept through most of it! I have to say it has been really nice staying home with the kids...I have help from my mom (which makes it even nicer) and Matt's parents will be here next week. They are definately spoiling me!

our big baby!

Our little Parker thinks he is still the baby...he kind of fit in Cooper's hospital crib!

the newest member...

Cooper Lynn Mikkelson was born on Monday night at 9:37 pm. We went into the hospital having some labor pains and they decided it was time for the world to welcome him. Matt and I were sure he was going to come out a girl...so imagine our surprise when he didn't have girlie parts! It took us a couple days to decide on his name but finally agreed he looked like a Cooper. He was born on Matt's grandpa's birthday so that's where Lynn comes in. He is doing very well and doesn't cry too much. He has been the smallest of our bunch weighing in at 7 lb. 12 oun. and 20 1/2 inches long. We get to go home on Thursday. Parker seems to think he's interesting and Scotlyn is happy she gets to be the only princess!

We took P for his second plane ride last weekend when we went to Salt Lake for a wedding. Our girl, as always, loves to be her dad's co-pilot, but this time she had to share her seat with her brother. He loved it, but I was happy the ride only lasted 50 minutes because he did get restless and wanted to crawl all over the place!

Hello to all! I know it's been awhile since my last post...time goes by way too fast! Our little boy has just turned one today. For those of you who attended our girl's big shin dig and Luau for her 1st birthday, I felt P needed a little more than just a birthday cake put in front of him. So, we decided to have a swim party (since it's only 20 degrees outside) at our local gym. I invited some friends and classmates that have gotten really close to him over the year and my mom and dad came up from down south. We had a great time and enjoyed the nice indoor warm water.

We only have 7 weeks until we should expect our newest little one. I don't have a scheduled c-section date just yet, but will be delivering at 39 weeks. I have had some early contractions, so we're taking it easy just a bit. We thought since P's birthday is right next to mine then maybe this next one will be right next to Matt's, which is April 12th! We'll see...we know it will come when it's ready. We still haven't found out a sex yet and are waiting for that big day to decide on a name. Our girl has an idea for Stelluna if it's a girl!

Our New Addition!

Here are pics of the newest addition to our family...Milo Mikkelson. Matt didn't think that soon to be 3 kids and 1 dog were enough, so he added another member to our family. This dog was found roaming a few towns north of us by another family, they had him neutered and got him the shots he needed. They were giving him away and Matt thought Ole needed a friend...so here is!
