Karstin and Brayden the Lizard

This was taken at the hospital the day I had Regan. Karstin takes Brayden (the lizard) everywhere he goes. He sleeps with him every night. He makes sure to give Brayden a bath when he thinks he is dirty. He even speaks for Brayden when Brayden has something to say. I usually kiss Brayden good night too.

Karstin playing Basketball

Chris and Karstin turned our house into a basketball court the other night. Karstin had so much fun he couldn't stop laughing! At the end of the clip there is a little of me and Regan. Oh by the way Karstin 'kept score' and he won (of course)!

Here is Karstin holding Regan this morning. I took the second one a little while ago after putting the headband on. She looked so cute!

Karstin is doing great at being a big brother! He checks on his 'baby sister' without me asking him to. If she starts to fuss he runs over to give her her binky. He still believes that diaper duty is my job and tells Chris not to change her diaper (because it is stinky)! I am not sure where he got that from. We try to remind him that Dad used to change his diapers, but it is not sticking!

So far the green eyed monster has not appeared. Karstin seems to have adjusted just fine to the new addition. We are making sure to give him plenty of attention still and I am sure that is helping. 

I am feeling great. I am still sore, but I feel that I have been blessed to not be in to much pain. I am trying not to over do it, but it is hard to hang around the house and not get things done.  

Well enjoy the pictures.  Talk to ya soon!

Wendi Lee Photography Workshop

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to pass along a great way to learn more about taking pictures. Here is a link to learn more about the workshop. Wendi Lee Photography takes awesome photo's. I know some people who have used her to take their family pictures and they have turned out great. I am also going to go to her to take pictures of Regan and our family picture. The family picture may not be for a little while...I would like to be a little more presentable! Anyway check out this link and if it interests you sign up. I know Wendi personally and you will just love her class.

Regan Maree Turley

     

Regan was born on July 22, 2008 at 12:54pm. She weighed 7lbs 3oz and was 20in long. You pronounce her name just as it is spelled. I'll have more coming, but this will have to do for now.

Turley Family Reunion's

I just wanted to share with you some of the joy's of the Turley's annual camping reunion. This year I will not be able to go since I am 9 months pregnant and unable to travel (and I am having the baby on Tuesday). Here are some pictures from previous years.

 Okay this is my first Camping trip while we were engaged in '03

This is the next year in '04 while I was pregnant with Karstin

 This was in '06 

I'm a little bummed that I can't go up this year, but there is always next year!

Karstin Dancing to Usher

Here's Karstin dancing the other day to Usher. He loves to dance. Since both Chris and I love to dance too it only makes sense that Karstin does too!
