Family Pictures!

We took some pictures in front of our yesterday with our pink on to celebrate the arrival of our new little girl. We are so excited to be a family of 5 now!


Camping with Daddy this weekend!

The girls decided to go camping with Daddy in the living room on Saturday night. Hayven got a princess tent for her birthday and she has been wanting to use it and so since daddy has taken off from work he decided that this would be the perfect time. We were actually surprised that they went to sleep in the tent and slept very well. They have been asking when they can do it again. They watched some movies and ate popcorn and m & ms as well. It was a fun time and maybe sometime they can try it outside and see how that one goes.

Here they are inside their tents getting comfortable!
Look at how cozy they look in there!

Hayven playing blastball!

Hayven is playing blastball this year and we are so excited because this will be the first year for her to be playing a sport. We are all so excited to go and watch the games and to watch her enjoy the time of learning how to play. She is very excited about playing too and thinks that she is going to be the best player ever. So, stay tuned for pictures of her actually playing the game!
Here she is in her uniform with her pink glove.

Riley's 1st Bathtime!

Well, Ms. Riley needed a bath and so we took our first bath even though her umbilical cord is still on. Of course, it fell off the next day and she has had an even more fun bath since this one where she could get all wet. She loved the warm water and enjoyed getting all clean. Mommy enjoyed holding her afterwards and just smelling the lovely smell of a clean baby. She loves her bath time just like her sisters even though she does not like the cold afterwards.
Here is my sweet baby all ready for her first bath.
Here we go into the water!
She is loving her little tooshy being in the warm water.
Here we are all warm and cozy in our towel after the bath!

Bringing Riley home!

Well, it is finally time for us to leave the hospital and we are so excited to be taking our new baby girl home! I am feeling pretty good even though I am a little sore, but looking forward to being home with my other two little girls that I have missed so much. Today when we woke up there was snow on the ground once again and a wind that was very chilly. So, we had to bundle up my little baby because we did not have any tights or anything, but at least had a long sleeve dress for her to wear home. Not a great way to show Riley what the outside world is like with the cold wind but she will be in the warm car fast enough. Welcome home Baby Riley!
Here is her cute little coming home dress!
Isn't she so sweet, good thing mommy brought this warm hat for her to wear!

Day #3 with Baby Riley!

Well, today it decided to be nasty weather outside, we got snow again in Dallas. This time it really did not stick for too long, but still there was enough for my girls to get to go outside and play in it again. So, we did not get many visitors today, only my mom and girls came to visit us today. It was great though because they got to spend some one on one time with their new sister without the room being way too over crowded. We also got her newborn pics taken today and they turned out awesome. She was awake and so the pictures were all with her eyes open and so that was wonderful. I will try to scan some of them to where you all can see them. It was a great quiet day to get to spend with my new little girl.
Here is mommy with Baby Riley in her take me home outfit all set to be a pretty princess in her pictures.
Look at that cute baby girl in her pretty pink!
I love this picture where she is actually looking at the camera. I love the headbands on new babies!
Here is our new family taking a stroll down the hallway for mommy to get some exercise. Yes, Jordyn is wearing her princess dress that she never wants to take off!
Here is my beautiful baby in her crib with her blanket that matches her carseat!
I had to get a picture of the girls walking with daddy helping to push their new sister and telling mommy to come on.
Jordyn was so excited to get to hold her new baby sister all by herself.
Daddy was laying down to take a nap and Hayven decided to lay on him and cover herself up, she is a funny little girl.

Day #2 for Baby Riley!

Well, this was day 2 for Baby Riley and mommy in the hospital. We had a few friends and family come to the hospital to visit us this day and it was a great day. This was also mommy and daddy's anniversary that they got to spend in the hospital with Riley. Daddy went to PF Changs though and brought back dinner so that we could eat a great dinner and have something other than hospital food for our anniversary. I started getting around a little bit today but still a lot of pain and so not really doing laps around the hospital yet.
Our cousin Rena came to meet Riley.
Our friend Monty came to meet Riley.
Monty and Erin's little girls Noel and Grace were excited to hold baby Riley.
Erin came to meet Riley.
Here is Monty and Erin's new little baby Pearce, he is about 1 month old with baby Riley cuddled up next to him. Our girls say that Riley is the princess and Pearce is the prince.
Our friend Brandy came to meet Riley.
Of course Gammie and Pops and our girls came back to see Riley again today.
Jordyn was having fun putting a blown up glove in her belly to show what mommy used to look like with Riley in her belly, so cute.

Birth of Riley Ann Clark!

I am a little late posting these, but we welcomed our 3rd baby girl to our family on March 18, 2010 at 7:48 am, Riley Ann Clark. She weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces and was 20 inches long. She had a little trouble breathing at first and so I did not get to see her for 4 hours, which was the longest 3 hours of my life. I was really worried that there was something wrong even though everyone kept telling me that she was fine that they were just taking precautions. I finally got to see her at noon and it was so great to get to hold my baby for the first time. She is a great baby and very quiet which is what was scaring them. They could not get her to cry for anything and this was one of their concerns because of the fluid that gets in their lungs. She is a great baby and we are so very excited to have her as a part of our family.
Here is her "dirty picture" after being pulled from mommy's belly.
Here is my sweet baby girl after being all cleaned up.

Well, the pictures kind of got out of order, but here is Hayven opening her big sister gift from her new little sister, Riley. She got a big sister 1 shirt and then a rocking big sister shirt and book, she was so excited. Here is our family picture from the surgery room.
