Introducing Kacen

We found out at the beginning of December, that my body was not handling pregnancy well and so our plan was to make it to 37 weeks and he would be born.  37 weeks was on a Saturday so my csection was scheduled for the day before, Friday Dec 30.  We brought the kids to grandma and grandpa's the night before, we had to be up at the hospital at 7am.  This time I was giving birth at cache valley hospital which is a smaller hospital.  I was the only one delivering a baby at that time so  the nurses were pretty focused on me, It went fairly quickly, the only hiccup was getting an iv in me, they ended having the nurses from the ER come get one put in.  When we got down to the operating room, one of my best friends from high school was one of the operating room techs, so she got to help deliver our baby boy!

8:50AM Kacen Boehm Clark made his very loud appearance.  He screamed at the nurses, he was definitely not happy to be out of the warmth. He weighed 7lbs 8 oz and 19 inches long.

Daddy was quite smitten!

After we got settled back in our room, the kids got to come meet their baby brother.  They probably would have stayed all day holding him if we would have let them.  They were all very smitten.

I cant believe we have 5 kids!

I was also rather smitten and took lots of pictures!  I cant believe how little and adorable he is!

The hospital provided us with a celebratory meal which was so yummy!

We were in the hospital over new year's eve.  Kacen woke up right before midnight so we got to party in the new year together!

All ready to go home in the outfit Auntie Ella made him!

The hospital also took these cute pictures of Kacen, grandma made the adorable yoda set.

December 2022

I had an ultrasound to see how big baby boy was getting (yay gestational diabetes) one school day.  There ended up being a big snow storm so school was delayed two hours so Kaezli and Kamden came with us.  The ultrasound tech gave them both a picture with the baby saying hi to them.  They were so excited!

More renovations!  We are finally getting rid of the brown.  Our house before was brown on tan on brown on brown, so needless to say I'm so sick of the brown!  I'm loving how it is turning out!

Our ward Christmas party was a blast!  The sweetest santa came and the kids were so excited to tell him what they wanted!

It took some convincing for Korbin and Kyler to get in the picture, they are saying they are too big!

Our Family is the best!  Christian came up and taught Jason how to do backsplash (while doing most of it).  They have helped with painting, countertops and flooring.  We definitely couldnt have done it without all the help from our family!

Kyler and Korbin (and Duncan) got to participate in Nibley City's live nativity.

My dad got a new bird so he brought him to see us.  Meet Dino

He's quickly becoming Kyler's favortie

We celebrated Christmas with Jason's family at Chris and Ray's house.  The boys were amazed that they got 5 of them on one couch cushion.

She begs for cindy lou who hair all year, its her favorite!

We drove past a huge Santa and snowman so we figured we better take a picture!

Christmas eve game before bed

Christmas eve presents this year were new blankets.

Santa brought her a rubber band bracelet making set which she loves!

9AM church on Christmas plus we had to be there early for choir practice, means Kamden crashing for most of the meeting.

Christmas family selfie!

Santa brought Kyler a guitar which he thought was pretty cool

Kamden thought his baby yoda was pretty sweet.  I apparently didnt get any pictures of Korbin, he had an awesome Christmas too.

Kaezli and I had to go get pedicures before baby boy made his appearance.  We of course had to have uncle Benji join us.

KAezli obviously loved it!

Kaezli got a sewing machine for Christmas, we've been doing some sewing lessons.

Her first project was a blanket for baby brother!

Our last dinner as a family of 6!
