All smiles and more...

Kolt just keeps getting cuter every day. His tiny personality is starting to show and I can't get enough of it! We went for his two month check up and my little guy really is a little guy. In fact, the doctor described him as petite. That word doesn't make sense to me when it comes to my kids because as many of you know I had one chunky little girl for awhile, in fact at her checkups the doctor described her as very solid little girl. Anyway, I love having a little man, he just fits. So an update on Kolt, he is now 10 weeks old, and weights 9lb 11oz and is 21.5 inches long. He smiles all the time, especially after he eats. He is still a sleeper and yes he pretty much sleeps all night. He thinks he wants to wake up at 6:30a but once he gets in bed with mom we sleep until 9a. Kimber usually comes in around 8a but when the cartoons get turned on she lets us sleep for another hour. Kolt had his very first cold this week and it was so sad. He survived it though and I am happy to say he is finally over it. If that little guy can survive his sister he can survive anything. Kimber really is cute with him and just wants to help all the time. However, she likes to hide his binky, pile as much stuff on him as possible, or get right in his face to try and make him smile. Kolt just tolerates her and I am sure one day will get back at her in many ways. :) It is fun to see how our family is growing. I never thought I would have a little girl and a little boy. Kimber is such a little girl it makes me laugh. Oh she loves to play princess, I can't even get her to take off her pink tutu to take a nap. She watches princess movies over and over, and forget about putting different shoes on her then her princess high heels. She loves playing with her friends and is actually quite social. I have a feeling I am going to have my hands full with her, and I can't wait. There is our little update for now. I really am going to try and keep this up to date. I go back to work in a couple of weeks which for me is a bitter sweet. I am super excited to be going back but also a little sad because I love spending as much time as I can with my kids. I will find my balance somehow.

Wecome Home Zak!

My cute brother-in-law Zak just recently came home from his mission. He has been in McAllen, Texas for the past two years. It was so fun to go to the airport and welcome him home, even though we played a mean trick on him. We decided to hide on the upper level and watch him come out and look around for his family. For about 5-10 seconds he looked so sad and so lost. We then all started cheering and he looked up. He thought it was funny but also mean. We all went out to dinner and then back to the Hanks house for dessert. Kimber just loved playing with the balloons. The following week we went to a cabin as a family. We played games, rode snowmobiles, and just enjoyed being all together once again. Kimber absolutely loved playing in the snow and riding on the snowmobiles. It was a fun weekend! Kolt got into the spirit and got dressed in his moose outfit. :) Kasia and Kimber getting ready to hit the hot tub!

Introducing Kolton Kade Hanks

So I know that back in September I said that an update was coming soon, but the truth is I have the update written I was just waiting to get the pictures all put together. Therefore, until I can get those pictures in place I thought I would let you know of a couple of new things happening, one major event that took place is that we had our little boy. Kolton Kade Hanks was born on Thursday, February 4th at 3:14pm and was 8lbs 2oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. He originally was due on the 8th but I didn't want to wait that long and I didn't want to risk him being as big as Kimber had been, which when all said was done he only weighted in 2oz less than Kimber. Anyway, things went really smooth and if I can I will always be induced, that was great! One happy family! Kimber loves being a big sister! Things have been going really well. He doesn't sleep the entire night like Kimber had but he does allow me to sleep at least 2-3 hours between each feeding which is nice and he does like to sleep in, that he gets from me. Kimber is doing great with the whole baby thing. She is my little helper for sure and just can't love him enough. Whenever he cries she is right there trying to make him happy by trying to give him binkies or a blanket. She does a great job getting me things for him and is just overall fascinated by him. Thanks to everyone for their e-mails, phone calls, and visits! Kade waiting patiently. Happy to be done being pregnant! Finally going home. How cute are these!
