Kloe's 1st Camping Trip!

When Makya was six days old we took him camping to Stanley for the Idaho State bow hunters jamboree. Which is pretty much Jared's mom's side of the family the Baird Family Reunion. When Kylee was three weeks old we took her camping to Tincup Wy. Where we go camping every fall. So we couldn't let Kloe be left out! So last weekend we took her on her first camping trip over to Freedom Wy. All of our kids have slept in this chair in Grandma and Grandpa Lau's trailer. (No we are not entirely crazy we didn't take our newborn baby's camping in a tent.) It was fun to tell Makya and Kylee that they both slept in that chair when they where little like Kloe. They liked hearing about how we gave them a bath in the sink of the camper because they were so little. At least I haven't laid Kloe in the fall leaves to take a picture. Well that's probably because there is no fall leaves to lay her in...........yet! And I'm sorry about Chopping off Jared's head. I'm not a super awesome picture taker. As my dad would say I've cut off more head's than Napoleon! My bad.

Our Bundle Of Joy!

Kloe Lana Lau was born Aug 18 2008 at 10:14 p.m. She was 7 pounds and 8 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long. She has Brown hair and blue eyes. Olive skin. A perfectly shaped head. Long Fingers and Toes. The same nose as Makya and Kylee. The shape of daddy eyes. Mommy's lips. And when people ask us who she looks like we say Kloe. We can't really decide who she looks like but what we agree on is that she's perfect in every way! There is nothing in the world like having a new baby straight from heaven! Bring a child into this world is one of the most beautiful spiritual experience I've ever had in my life. For me there is no greater Joy in this world to me then being a mother. Jared is such a cute dad in so many ways! One cute thing he did day before Kloe was even born was, Jared sent Kloe a text that Say's, "Dear Kloe, I know that soon you will be joining our crazy family...don't worry! Kylee will teach you to smile. Makya will teach you how to play hard and to not say all the words. Mom will shower you with kisses...and daddy will be wrapped around your little finger. Love you and see you soon! So now i have to explain part of a family inside joke. Lanett came with me to a Doctors appointment in poky. And Kylee was soooo excited to see grandma that she just keep talking and talking. Finally, Kya turn's to Kylee and say "Kylee how why do you say all the words?" I and Lanett died laughing! So since Jared started this blog and the computerly challenge wife has to keep it up, I want to share another cute Tex from our dad to Kloe." Kloe, I was praying in my heart which got me to thinking about heaven which made me think about angels...when i thought about angels it made me think of you!" Kloe is defiantly our little angel! We love her so much. And I'm sorry I'm slow to put up pictures to show every one our new bundle of Joy!

Lau Family Camping Trip

Our Family Camping Trip To Teton National Park

Our family has never been camping all by ourselves. This was the first trip that was just me Jared and the kids. And we had a blast! The really fun part about Jared's new job is that we get a whole week instead of a weekend to do what ever we want. So we had the whole week to go camping. If you haven't got the chance to go see the Tetons. You should really take the time to go see them. Because their absolutely breath taking! Makes you really stop and appercaicate for a moment what a beautiful world it is that our Heavenly Father has created for us. So besides the mountains, we saw Meadow after meadow of flowers, jenny's lake, 2 moose, 6 Buffalo, Lot's of deer( the kind with antlers too!), At least 50 elk, and not nearly enough fish! Topaz got to go fishing for the first time in her life. We even rented out a boat and went out on the the lake. But the only fish we saw were back at the marina. When we got back to the marina, kya got so excited when he saw the fish by the dock that he hurried and made a cast into the water and said hope I catch one! The kids loved our camping spot! We would be out doing something and kya would say i want to go back to the camper and play. Our camping spot was right along a creek. And this creek happened to have sand along it so the kids got to play in the sand and build truck road, princess castles and what have you, while daddy fished in the stream. Where we parked the trailer was really cool to. It was right next to some pine tree's that created a natural canopy slash play area for the kids. And some thing that I loved loved loved about are camping spot was that we were right in a meadow. It was a great trip. At the end of the trip when we had just got in the truck to come home, Kya said I loved this Family time. And that made the whole trip worth it right there.
