BYE MRS.MOORE

Helping my old kindergarten teacher was great!  The kids were shy but very cool.  On Friday my last day helping I gave her a card and cookies for being the best teacher ever.  On Friday I helped her so much she said she would have had to stay up until midnight to get it done but I finished it all for her.  I'm so happy I helped!

First Bath

I know, I've been procrastinating again, but don't wipees count as baths too.  Anyway, I finally got the new bath out and gave Carsten a good cleaning.  About ten minutes after he was done and diapered again he spit up over everything, so I put him in again for a rinse.  That counts as two baths so we are averaging one every two weeks.  He seemed to enjoy the bath and didn't pee on me so that was good.  Now if we can just get consistent about sleeping.

First day of school - Parts 1 & 2

I've not been looking forward to this year since Bradlee started kindergarten.  We have kids going to three different schools.  Add a baby into the mix and we have a 4 way split.  It will stay that way until Avarie is in 9th & Bradlee in 12th in 2011-2012 and then we have a 4 way split again with Bradlee in college and Carsten in pre-school!!!

Bradlee started school bright and early last Tuesday.  She is a freshman at Rio Mesa this year.  Kevin drove her down to the bus stop around 7 am

.  Sorry I didn't get any pictures.  Maybe I'll take one on the first day of 6am seminary next Tuesday.  I'm usually up around 5 with Carsten anyway.  Luckily Kevin will drive her down to the church in the morning and then she will catch the bus at the community center by church to get to school and then a different bus will bring her back to Cam Heights in the afternoon.  The only

 fluke is Thursdays, when school doesn't start until 9, so I have to pick her up from seminary and then she will hopefully ride the Cam Heights bus to school.

Micah started 3rd grade at Cam Heights on Wednesday.  She's excited about school and loves going.  She doesn't always get equally excited about homework though. (just laid the baby down so hopefully my arm will wake up again).  Micah walks to school which helps with the schedule. 

Avarie doesn't start until next Wednesday.  I sent her to help her old teacher in kindergarten this week at Cam Heights.  I think she enjoyed herself and it gave her something to keep her busy in the mornings.  (and she can pass off some Faith in God requirements!)

Here's Micah on her first day...

Two Weeks Old

Carsten turns 2 weeks old tonight.  We're getting used to him being here.  I'm also feeling a little better every day.  It also helps that he's slept a solid 5 hours the last three nights.  Unfortunately, when I do get up to feed him, I turn on the olympics replay and a couple of nights ended up watching for a couple of hours.  I did better last night.  I just watched the end of History Detectives and then went back to bed.  Kevin or Bradlee take a turn with him in the morning so I get to sleep in after I feed him at 6, 7 & 8 o'clock.  I'm not looking forward to school starting.  Kevin goes back to work and Bradlee goes to girls camp next week so i'll be more on my own.

Anyway, here's some 2 week pictures.  Enjoy. -- Debbie

 

What's Micah Hiding?

What is she hiding? 

Oh it is a funny hat I made her wear! Micah decided she wanted her hair dyed so I took out the kit and found this hat.And guess what, I made her wear it even though she didn't need to!

Well Micah is mad I had her 

wear it for a whole three hours.

But she loved the outcome!

Doesn't our hair look awsome purple! 

Purple!

At the begining of the summer my mom said Ava and I should dye out hair some crazy color for the summer. 

Well I did it! Rainey came over yesterday and dyed the bottom of my hair purple.I think it looks wonderful!-Bradlee

Here's the Pictures

Rainey, I need you to come over and take some good pictures.  Here's the best I've got so far.  

Look Out World Here I Come!

He's finally here! 

Carsten James Hager

August 3, 2008

8 lbs. 10 oz. and 21 in.

Carsten just couldn't wait one more day! He did not want a c-section. The birth went very well. He born at 9:38 pm with is family in front row seats! Except Micah who was asleep untill the first cry. He is a strong healthy little boy with chubby cheeks! He hopes to see you all soon!

CARSTEN JAMES HAGER

DUE AUGUST 5

C-Section on Monday

Well, the doctor called back and is worried that Carsten is getting too big, so... we've decided to schedule a c-section on Monday.  I guess there are just a few problems when you have gestational diabetes, even though i've been sticking to my diet pretty well.  Carsten is still high also so it didin't look like he was going to come anytime soon.  My official due date was Aug 5 (Kevin's Birthday) but at my ultrasound with the specialist the date was coming out about a week before that so its definately time.

So were excited that we have a date set but i'm not really excited about having a c-section.  I guess its better than getting the baby stuck half way out though.  I'm sure everything will go well.

In the meantime, here's some pictures Rainey took.  I'll have Bradlee update this on Monday for ya'll.
