The Story

After 26 hours of labor, Kyle Christopher Harker was born on February 3rd, 2008 at 2:03 am via C-Section. He weighted 8 lbs 7 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. He spent his first 3 days in NICU with pneumonia and on antibiotics but he is now a very healthy, growing boy! He is certainly the light of my life and I can't tell you how incredibly lucky I feel to be so blessed with such a wonderful gift.

Kyle's first airplane ride

Kyle and I flew to Idaho Falls, Idaho for our Phillips family reunion
He loved it! Well, other than the first thing he did when we got settled in our seat was to touch the light above us and burn his little pointer finger ;(
He was the center of attention!!!

At the park with my Cousins

We got to spend the day at the park with cousins Marin, Andrew and Felipe


and of course a little hugging from Mommy!


Kyles favorite thing to do is to climb UP the slide!

and then go down on someones lap


Kyle is always a step ahead of me

Blackberry picking

Right down on the Salmon Creek Trail next to Grandma and Grandpas house are massive blackberry bushes. Kyles loves to copy Grandpas every move

I guess his lil legs get tired after awhile


I think this lil boy ends up with more berries on his face and in his tummy than in his bucket


We are glad to be at the end of our trek
Kyle and I often just walk and talk in the midst of our project


Kyle, deep in thought
Kyle loves our berry picking adventures and especially the treats we make from them
