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.

Halloween

Kyle was dressed as a cute lil dog. He had played with the costume in the days leading up to Halloween but was never quite sure whether he wanted to "wear" it.
He finally got the costume on and off we went to trick o' treat.


He definately scored but due to his milk allergy.....he was only able to enjoy the 2 dum dum suckers he got ;(

I'm not sure if he understood the purpose of all of this.....but he LOVED Halloween

Carving pumpkins

This is Kyle's girlfriend......Abby
We went up to our friends, the Maitlands to carve pumpkins

Aiden and Kyle carefully picked out the best of the crop
We took a break to play with all of the cool toys they have


Here is Kyle's pumpkin!


Kyle loved all of the pumpkins!

Kyle's friend Sydney

I help out a family friend on occasion and she has 3 dogs.......
Sydney is Kyle's favorite

Lil Stinker!

Kyle successfully picked the very last, UNRIPENED tomato today! I have tried so hard to get him to understand that he needs to wait until they turn red but he just doesn't seem to have the patience to wait...... so...... the tomato season is now over for us
Just gotta love him though

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
