Pretty Miss Katie

Giving her Momma a hug....sweet!

These were taken on Heath's cell phone early Sunday evening.

It turns out Katie has an enlarged heart and some of her organs are immature so she will be spending some time in the NICU.

It's a Girl!!!!

I am SOOOOO happy to announce the arrival of Katie Lynn Rippentrop. Heath & Lois went in for a check up today and the doctor said that there was no more room for baby to grow so it had to come out. So they prepped her for a c-section and Katie Lynn joined the world of air breathers. She is spending the night in the NICU due to low blood sugar. With Lois being on insulin for the gestational diabetes. Due to not being prepared for staying Lois' phone battery died and Heath phone is acting up so I have not yet seen a picture of the beautiful face. She is 9 lbs and 20" long..with what I was told to have a nice head of hair.

Bar-B- Que Die hard

Garrett called it! When we were going to start dinner last night he said "I think the second we get ready to put them on the grill it will downpour." So he stood in the house with his (or Levi's) raincoat on waiting. He was right, but he did it anyways and I think he had fun too. Of course it stopped shortly after he came into the house. Oh, and yes the brats were delicious!!

My babies

Well, life has been busy, nothing new. Shelby & Levi started soccer last week and have games every Tuesday and Thursday night. Thankfully there are only 3 games in all that they play at the same time. Tuesday night they both played at 6:00 and I was glad they were on fields adjacent to each other. I sat at Shelby's game and watched Levi's when I had a chance. Levi scored two goals and I got to see them both (perfect timing). So they have each had 2 games and each have won one and lost one. Levi had to play on a full size field with a full size goal. It was a change since they usually play on much smaller fields and are not suppose to be on that size until the are on the 12 year old teams. I will try to get some pictures or videos next week.

I was playing around with Kaleb's proofs tonight. A friend of ours offered to do Kaleb's senior pictures for us. Now we have picked out a bunch and he will send them in to get adjusted and we will place our order. Let me know if there is a certain size you need besides wallets. These are ones I was just playing with to show you how my #2 baby has grown into such a handsome young man.
