Ashtyn Lera Malan

My brother Scoot and his wife Jen had a baby girl yesterday. Asthyn Lera Malan was born February 15, 2011 at 6:15pm. She was 7lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long. Sara, Chris, and I went and saw her this evening. She's so cute and she was so alert! Her middle name is an abbreviation of Scoot's middle name and my Dad's first name LeRandal.

Meeting Shiloh

Scoot and Jen brought Shiloh over to Sara's house this afternoon so all the cousins could meet. Kylie Mae was especially excited. She is so cute with all her baby cousins. Just look how happy she is...

Shiloh Blairene Malan

My darling brother and his wife had their little girl today! Shiloh (named from the Neil Diamond song), Blairene (a combo of Jen's grandma's name Blaire and her Dad's middle name Rene). She wore the same dress home from the hospital that Jen did 30 years ago. So cool.

Cooper Allen Quarders

We had a new nephew born today to Chris and Sara Quarders. He is the spitting image of his father and we are so excited to have him finally here! Unfortunately I didn't get to go to his birth because Courtney is due this week and I don't want to be stuck in California if she goes into labor...

Chloe Anna Quarders

Our New Niece

Katie's sister, Sara and her husband Chris had a baby girl on Thursday, August 21, 2008. Chloe was 7 lbs. 15 oz. and 21 inches long. I was able to be there for the entire birthing process. It was so cool to be able to watch her come into the world. She is a beautiful little girl with BLUE eyes, Sara's mouth, Chris' ears and feet, Kylie's nose, and HUGE, fabulous cheeks! We had a little bit of scare after she was born. She wasn't getting enough oxygen and had to spend about 3 hours in the NICU before we were able to see her. She is now perfect, happy, and healthy. Unfortunately, I had to leave early the next morning to get back to Ogden to run an estate sale we had planned at Casey's mom's house the following day. So I didn't get nearly enough time with her. Gratefully I fly free so I am going back down soon to get some good cuddle time in. I can't wait to hold her again!
