Alex's Blessing

We have a neighbor who has a photography studio in their house and they were kind enough to take pictures of our happy family. If you would like to see what other kind of work they do you can go to photographybydc.com. They do really good work and they are inexpensive.

This is our little family at Alex's baby blessing this past weekend. We had a really good turn out. Thank you to all our friends and family for the support. We will have to have you back when the swimming pool opens.

This is my favorite rock band member. He loves the guitar and playing drums with his daddy. He starts his new preschool on May 6. He is graduating from New Sunshine Preschool on May 21st. I am so proud of my little guy.

Finding the right Dress

I need some advice on what to do about a semi-formal dress for Wicked on May 3rd and other cultured events. I have picked out these two. Please let me know what you like. I really like this dress, but I wont have it for Wicked on May 3rd. It takes 9 weeks to have it made and I am still losing the baby weight. Is it worth the wait?

I tried this one on in the store and it fit me really well except the length and the shoulders which are easy to fix. I could have this one for Wicked but I think it might be to fancy. What

do you think?

Easter 2009

We dyed Easter eggs, hands, and the counters (sorry mom) at grandpa's house. I found that Dawes is the only egg dying kit that has 9 colors, everyone else only has 5. Just thought you would like to know.

This is Josh with Mike's big rocket. This was the first and last time it flew. The rocket engine malfunctioned and it hit the pavement hard. It was pretty funny. There was nothing really left of it.

We set up a tent in mom and dad's living room because it was too cold to go camping. So, Josh and Mike slept in it on Saturday night. Josh set up the inside of the tent with all the necessities including a chair, jeep, food and his sleeping bag.

This was Alex's first holiday and you know what he did...he slept the whole time. He did get an Easter basket with bottles and a fuzzy duck bunny. We even got him a rocket that was about the size of his whole body. It was raining almost the whole weekend so Alex stayed inside with grandpa while we launched rockets.

Potty training Josh

Look he's a big boy now. We have been potty training for the last 2 weeks and he has done wonderful. He has been dry every night. I did the 3 day potty training (it really took 5) but he hasn't had a lot of acidents except the #2 which we haven't even made it once. AAAH! If you have any suggestions let me know. I am getting good at my poker face "that doesn't stink, it smells like roses"ha-ha.

Alex getting bigger

Alex is getting so big. He is now 9 lbs. He currently has a stuffy nose and has the sadest little cry because he is horse. Brakes my heart everytime I hear it. He will be blessed on May 3rd at 9 Am with a small breakfast to follow. If you would like the address of the church please email me at kassyoveson@yahoo.com and I can get you the directions.

Please welcome Alexander James Oveson

Alex was born on February 8, at 5:30 a.m.. Even though the doctor wanted him to wait for at least another week, Alex decided that he wanted to come into this world sooner. He isn't very big but he is strong and very healthy. Alex weighed in at a big 5 lbs even and was 19" tall. He lost a couple of ounces in the hospital but has added to his weight. He loves to eat and sleep which Josh doesn't really like. Or like Josh says "Baby cry!" He really doesn't cry that much only when he is hungry or we are changing his diaper. For weeks Josh has asked several times when baby come home and now he looks for baby all over the house and even today asked if baby was gone. In the next few weeks and even years I'm sure that he is going to take very good care of his baby brother. He loves being the big brother and even wearing his big brother t-shirt.

I was able to experience labor for most of the day on Saturday the 7th and thought about having a regular delivery but thank goodness Mike and I decided on a c-section. The cord was around his neck which would have caused a few problems. Thank goodness we were being watched over.

Being home is proving to be a little bit interesting trying to adjust to having two little boys. Mike will be having next week off and so with his help we will get used to our larger family. I'm just very happy to have Alex here and being healthy and strong.

Enjoy the pictures.

Little Update

Hi everyone,

It has been awhile since I last blogged. I am not very good at this yet. I have been a stay home mom for about a month now and I thought that I might have more time to do things that I wanted. It seems that my time is being demanded even more by my loving 3 year old.
Anyways, we had a wonderful Christmas. Josh got a lot of toys. His favorite being the geo trax train and airplane set and his helicopter. It was fun this year because he actually knew that Santa came.
On Christmas eve we went over to the Pratt's for a nice dinner. My brother and his family came in from North Carolina and surprised us. My brothers wife and my little niece, Clara, are staying in Utah for a wedding and leaving for home in March. Josh and I have been spending a lot of time playing with them. Josh and Clara get into a lot of trouble together, but they are really cute.
Just 2 more weeks for the baby to be here. I can't believe it. I am currently scheduled for a repeat c-section on the 16th. I don't know if I will make it that far, but I hope that I do. I am still up on my feet and keeping busy, although I don't have the energy or the ability to touch my toes anymore. I just can't wait to have my body back again.
We are thinking about naming this little boy Alexander James. He would go by Alex or A.J. What do you think? I was also thinking about Trevor Paul. It might be something completely different next week, but I was just wondering your opinions if you have any. I will see if Sandra will post some pictures for me when the baby is born.
Other then that I am just counting down the clock and praying for the best. Hope everything is well with you. T.T.F.N.
