First week home!!

I find that all pictures that revolve around the first week a baby is home from the hospital show everyone looking bright eyed and bushy tailed.  It is as if no one brushes their hair or gets out of their jammies for the first couple weeks, although, I distinctly remember getting at least my kids dressed...hhhhhmmmm so here are some fun pics of when we brought our newest member of the all boys club home!!

Kevin reading Adam and Owen a book

first little sleep smile caught on camera, ignore the mess in the background

 Our Sister Missionaries are awesome.  This is Sister Felila and Sister Brickenstien, Sister Kioa had left the day before :( but we love these girls...

side story:  Sister Felila grew me up one day without even knowing it.  She said the sweetest thing, "Sister Low when I grow up, I want to be like you" up until that point I'm not sure that I thought of myself as that much older than the Sisters, lol....I guess I am...

 this sweet swaddler was made by our friend Emily Gray...he just looks a little like an angel, I think...

 Isaac loves holding his baby brother...

 these are our Baba twins!!

 He didn't want to give him up.  He held him for about 20 minutes while he watched a show, it was really cute and really funny.

 Owen gets lots of attention! (like from all sides)

 here is daddy's favorite passtime!!

 I just know he is going to grow so fast and I won't know what to do to slow it down.  Luckily I will have pictures to look back and try to remember how he was once a baby and Isaac was once just two and Adam 4 and Kevin 6.............

Time to Meet Owen!!

Well I had grown as big as I could!  I just knew the kiddo had to be massive.  All my other boys came on their own but Owen was going to need a little help out.  I had been contracting all night but nothing consistent, luckily I had finally reached my induction date!! April 9th!! We rose at 4:30 a.m. and got ourselves put together enough to drive to the hospital to have a baby!!!  Here is me before we left LOL!!

Then came our 4th sweet baby boy!!  He was huge!  9lbs 14oz and 21 and 1/2 in long.  We were so excited to finally meet him and see that, well, he looked like his brothers...shocker...

 He got this super cute hat because his head was too big for the normal little cotton ones you get so they got this from the NICU where people hand make these sweet hats that are often waaayyyy too big for the NICU babies and he got a little hat that would stay on his head.  It was so sweet of the nurses to do all that for him.

 Here is Owen in his first and last newborn diaper...it cracks me up.  It so doesn't fit!

My baby he is going to continue to melt my heart forever, I am sure of it...

 The boys came to visit and loved taking turns holding Owen and getting to see their brand new baby brother!

 Mima and Poppa stopped by too. 

 ...and Grandma and Grandpa...

 and Nana...

This is going to be one loved little man!!

Easter Weekend 2012

This year we started our Easter weekend Here!!!  It was lovely.  It was hot and we were the only people at the pool!!  I have to be honest I was shocked that we had not had Owen!!  The boys wore themselves out then we went home and took a nap so that we could be ready for the next party!!! The Low Family Easter Party!!

This kids were excited that Alex came because it gave them someone else to play with and she added the girl to the whole mix...  In these pictures the boys were trying to find the perfect flower for the princess and she was deciding if they were good enough...soooo funny!!

poor Bryce gets used and abused at these parties, good thing we don't have them everyday.  The boys loved being swung really high up in the air!!!

perfect example

don't forget our annual Easter egg hunt.  The boys were so excited when they realized the golden eggs contained 5 one dollar bills!!!! Woohoo...they still have not spent all of it now nearly 2 months later...it was sooo much money!!! :D

funny story that came out of the day!!...I wasn't there but I was told they had to collect an airplane off of a neighbors roof...Bryce lifted Bryan onto the roof...I would have loved to have seen and video taped that...Bryan had some hefty scratches to show for his endeavors but they got the plane back!!

The next day was Easter Sunday!!

The boys woke up bright and early and had to search for their Easter baskets!!  which they were excited to find that the Easter bunny had brought them new swim stuff and some bubbles and diving rings!!!

We then got ready and went to church.  Well the boys did.  I stayed home as I had begun seriously having some labor pains and was pretty immobile at that point with my pulled groin. 

That afternoon Grandma and Grandpa and Nana and Uncles Geoffrey, Christopher, and Josh and Aunt Sarah came over and cooked up an awesome Easter Dinner and we all got to spend some time together.  It was really nice, I continued to feel icky...(but I was happy to finally be feeling like a baby was coming)

That night we packed up the boys and took them over to Mima and Poppas for the night.  We had an early morning and exciting day ahead of us...We were to be induced the next morning at 5:00 a.m   eeeeeeeeekkkk!!!

Losing Teeth!!

Kevin started losing his teeth this year!!

In January he lost his first tooth!!

 
and in March he lost his second tooth.  So now he has his two front bottom teeth missing. 

Funny tooth fairy story:  With Kevin's second tooth he said that the quarters that the tooth fairy brought him were definitely the same quarters that had been in Mom and Dad's room...he's crazy!!! He even showed marks on them that he recognized, he is very observative...So maybe the tooth fairy borrowed my quarters this time...she paid me back later :D

check out this plate of food, no doubt the kid can eat!! he ate all of that,  by the way!!!
