Happy Mother's Day!

We are lucky enough to have not two but THREE wonderful loving mom's that we appreciate and cherish very much.

Lubka is my mom. She is sooo far away but yet so close to us....She has always been there for me growing up and she still is, but not just for me anymore, but for Ryan and Kaylee too...We are very blessed to have her in our life and we all miss her very much. Thank you for all the good meals you have prepared when you visited us, thank you for doing the dishes and taking care of Kaylee in the morning so we could get a good sleep, thank you for watching her when we needet to go on a date, thank you for walking Coby, thank you for helping us move....Simply said thank you for everything you are and everything you do for us mom. We think of you every day and can't wait to see you again soon.

Stastny Den Matiek....

Laurel is Ryan's mommy. All the way in Texas she is so we don't get to see her a whole lot either but everytime we do we enjoy her company so much! She always has a smile on her face and is so energetic! Thank you Laurel for your help with Kaylee, Coby and the house when you visited after she was born, thank you for your love and good example you are to us. We miss you a lot and are looking forward to see you in a few days!

Carol is our "adoptive" mom. It's not on the paper of course but she is like a real mom to us and since she lives in Utah (at least one of all three of them :o) ) we get to spend a lot of time with her. There is nothing better to do on Sunday afternoon then come to your house for the yummiest dinner, play games and most of all see your smiling face. Thank you for taking us on fun trips, opening your home to us, inviting us to spend holidays with you and your family, thank you for your love and kindness, thank you for being you. We love you and miss you.

Mami, Laurel and Carol, you are all so caring, loving, friendly, patient, kind.....and unique.

We can't even imagine our life without either of you. Sorry we can't be with you on this special day, but we want you to know that we love you dearly and feel very blessed by having you in our life. Have a great day and enjoy every minute of it.

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Love,

Ryan, Erika & Kaylee

Beautiful....

Look at her...isn't she just the most beautiful baby girl in the world???? I think so :o)

Happy Birthday Petra!!

Happy Birthday Petra!! We all hope you'll have a great day and we wish you all the best!! We love you very much!!!

BYU graduate

My little sister just graduated from BYU. Early Childhood Education was her major and I couldn't be more proud of her. She worked so hard these last few years and it sure payed off! She does great with kids and I know she'll be one of the most favorite teachers once she gets out there and starts to teach. Good job Petra!!! You did great! Here we are as proud as we can be And here she is with Carol and Claus. The sweetest people on Earth. They helped her in her college years a lot and have done so much for us and our family. We love them and are sooo thankfull for having them in our lives. Sisters...I couldn't have a better one. Love that girl!

Kaylee is growing

Our little sunshine is little over 2 months old now. I can't believe it....She is such a good baby. She has been spoiling us for the last 3 weeks by sleeping through the night ( I know we are very lucky), she is smiling often now and is cooing and "talking" a lot. I love it. We had to put some NB size clothes away as she is getting bigger every day! It was sad but on the other hand I'm so excited to see her grow and do more and more things with her.
I'm no different then other moms and think as well that my baby is just soooo super cute and adorable. I can't get enough of her.
We just moved to Richland, WA for the summer. The drive wasn't too bad, only 10 hours or so but I was still worried about Kaylee sitting in that car seat for so long so we took 2 days to come up here and she was great. Didn't cry once. Can you believe it?
Well, enough of me talking, here are some pictures of my sweet baby girl.
Kaylee all ready to go to Church. She loves it there.

Here she is with mommy and Auntie Petra. Those two enjoy every minute they have together.

soooo cute

Kaylee loves being outside. Since the weather has been so much nicer we have been taking her out more and she really love s the fresh air on a warm sunny dayShe really does great on her tummy.

And what she does the best-being absolutely super stinkin CUTE!!!I love this picutre. Doesn't she look like a trucker taking a nap after few hot-dogs and 5 beers?And here we all are at the Easter time. It was Kaylee's first Easter.Play time :o)

Blessing

We blessed Kaylee a few weeks ago but I just now have time to post some pictures. It was a great experience and she did great for a 3 week old (so did Ryan for doing this for the first time). I'm very lucky to have them both :o)

2 month check-up and....shots :o(

We took Kaylee for her 2 month check-up today...I was happy to hear that she is growing well and is as healthy as can be. She weights 11 lbs and is 23,5 inches long!! Our little baby girl is not so little anymore....But unfortunately the whole visit wasn't as pleasant. It was time for her shots when I had to step outside the room because I couldn't take even thinking about that bad, mean nurse poking my baby with all those needles...I would probably punch her if I stayed. But I heard that Kaylee was a trooper and didn't cry untill number 3 came along. I'm so proud of her! She is still sleeping through the night and is a really happy babe. And we are just so happy to have her....I just love that little angel so much!
