That's the word to describe my life lately. Four kids, WOW! Don't get me wrong though I love all of them. It's just how busy life is and how much each kid demands. We are all happy though. A lot has happened the past week so here we go......This is a picture of Katanya the day she came home from the hospital. 
She was discharge at 5 pounds 3 ounces. The next day we went to the doctor's for a checkup and she was 5 pounds 7 ounces! Everything checked out fine and they said they would see her in a week.At nights, since it has been extrememly warm and not windy, we go out to the house and let the kids run
around to let their energy out. One night Jake let Axel "try" to drive 
our old work truck on our large piece of land. No worries though, he didn't ever make it out of first gear. It got him all excited for driving however.Betsy came to visit us for three days. It was
really fun to have her and her kids up. The first night we went out to the temple greenbelt and fed the ducks. We took eight loaves of bread and had a blast.
One of the many geese.
Toby and Isaac feeding the geese and ducks.
McKay throwing pieces of bread.
Not a minute after Aspen left did Mckay ask when we can go visit. She had fun with her cousins. 
Jake and Cruz and Kirsten. 
Katanya stayed fast asleep in her caseat / stroller.
Betsy and Hazel by the river.
Hazel decided that the bread was better in her mouth than the ducks. We also loved her squeaker shoes!
All of the kids (except Katanya) on the step. We really enjoy family!
Katanya turned one month old a couple days ago. On Wednesday we had our one-week-from-discharge checkup. She was 6 pounds 1 ounce! She has the cute little "chubby preemie" cheeks and a fat little tummy. The doc
tor said she was doing really good and everything looked great. She also really enjoys her baths. She has fallen asleep a few times in the warm water.

It is wonderful to see how well thngs have turned.
She looks great and so do all of you. I am so glad everything is going well and that you have her home!
I have fed the IF temple ducks many a time. So fun, especially if it isn't windy, which is usually never!
I'm glad everything is going well - and busy is good. and visiting family is good.
and i was thinking about katanya loving the baths - she probably misses that nice amniotic fluid to float around in.
What a doll. Katanya is absolutely adorable and an absolute miracle. We are so thankful that everything has turned out so well for her and your family.
Glad to see that things are going well. Is she sticking to the same schedule at home as she did in the hospital or is she more "awake"?
She still sleeps a lot. She is probably only awake two hours a day. She kept the same feeding schedule for awhile but not anymore. She still goes every three hours but it's not "set in stone".
I know that I've been a horrible commenter, but I've read every post over the last few weeks! I can't believe how much Katanya has grown, and I love reading about her progress. She looks great, and I'm so happy for you guys. It's been a real testimony-building experience for me to read your stories!
We had so much fun visiting with you guys. My kids loved the fourwheeling. That was the highlight of the whole trip I think. Anytime ya'll want to come visit, we'd be glad to have you...that goes for anyone else who'd like to come too!!!
