Klara King

Our sweet baby Klara King was born July 5th at 4:21 pm!

We are so happy to have a beautiful baby girl! She is sweet and cuddly and I can't get enough of her hair!

Our Beautiful Girl

 

And this is how it went:

Before . . . (for those who I promised, but never provided, a prego picture)

First Family Photo! 
(In between, there was a fast labor and delivery. Ben gave me an intrathecal injection now that he's an official CRNA. It was wonderful. Then, we got to meet our beautiful Klara. Such a miracle and a blessing)

Going Home!

Big Brothers!

It was so good to have so much of our family visit. Thank you Cassie, Scott, Ellie, Brooke, Grandma and Grandpa Clingo, and Royce and Jessica King family for sharing in some of our early moments!

Since then . . . .

. . . a little sleep 

tummy time . . .

 . . . and lots of love and fun. It has been so great to have a new baby and she is a wonderful blessing to our family.

Recent King Family Highlights and Pics: 

 Las Vegas

(Levi actually really liked this 

and got mad when we tried to "free" him)

 Levi turned 2! He's so fun, sweet, and adventurous. Can't believe our little blondie is 2!

 Easter! So fun to have Cousins Mayla and Betty with us!

 Chilling. We've had great weather this spring and have spent as much time as we can enjoying it.

Camping at Balance Rock

Visiting our long-lost Buffalo buddies in Boise- the Lishes and Steenbliks! These are the only pics I got- we now have 10 kids and 2 on the way between our three families. What a party! It was so great to be with some of our dear "Grandview" family.

Daxton, Nathan, and Levi being boys 

Dayton Learned to Ride a 2-Wheeler!

And Levi keeping up on the trike 

These pictures are about as formal as they get around here. Sure love these boys. They are so excited for a little sister in about 7 weeks. She has no idea what she's getting into. 

A lot has happened since, well, October. In response to recent requests (or demands :)), 

here's the rundown:

 First, we're expecting our third little King (or queen)! Second, Ben's job changed, a lot. An opportunistic job in Twin Falls, Idaho presented itself. The end of January we sold our first home and moved to Twin Falls. In the meantime . . .

We hosted our first Thanksgiving. In fact, this was our first Thanksgiving with familysince we got married. Mmmm, makes me hungry thinking about it! 

We went sledding (despite what you think about New Mexico, we did get snow about an hour away).
Ben stuck  Levi on a tube and sent him down the hills-  Levi loved it.

We rode the Polar Express in Durango, CO.

And of course, celebrated Christmas! 

Ben got into duck hunting
(yes, those are ducks hanging in my garage).
Levi would pull us to the garage to look at the "quack-quacks". So sad (although they tasted surprisingly good).

The boys have learned that it is fun to ride Ben together. What a good dad!

Then we moved to this cute yellow house in Idaho
(which is, conveniently, Dayton's favorite color. He's super proud). 

So, to wrap it up- Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, and Happy Valentines from Twin Falls!
