Happy Boy and Binki Clips for Sale!

Lately Tate has been Smiling, Laughing and Talking a ton! But everytime I get the camera out he'll stop. Here are a couple I got before he gave up.

Usually Tates day begins by waking up at 5 or 6 because he's hungry, so i'll feed him and we'll both go back to sleep. Then he'll wake up again around 8:30 or 9 we'll play for a little while and he'll zonk out again for about an hour or 2 more and wake up officially around 10:30 or 11. During that time I know I should get ready for the day, but usually i'll just fall back to sleep with him. When he wakes up again We both get ready and head out to do some errands. around 3:00- 5:30 or 6 he'll take another nap (don't I have it easy!) then we eat dinner and wait for Mike to get home. And then its bed time at 9:00. I'm really getting the hang of being a Mom and I love it. I have to start back to work soon, but luckily only one day a week. I have been racking my brain to think of other ways to make some money... if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Oh and here are a couple pictures of some Binki Clips i'm making. If anyone wants any... they are only $5 or 2 for $9 (i'll send them free of charge) just email me mckitter@yahoo.com.

sorry some of these clips aren't all the way done, but you get the jist!

Congrats Teri and Regan on their new little Boy!

Mike Post -Sappy- beware

It's happening! Mike is going back to school ... It's something he has wanted to do for a long time, but didn't really know what he wanted to finish off in. He started working with a new company last July as an Electrical Field Technician, and has absolutely loved it. (To be honest I have no idea what he actually does all day. He tries to explain it to me, and others, but I don't get a word he says.) He finally found his niche, and is really good at it. It will definitely be a long couple of years, but i know it's well worth it. He's going to finish off at SLCC, and by next year transfer up to Weber State University to their Electronics Program.

I am so proud of him and feel so blessed that he is happy doing what he loves.

Here are some of the reasons why I love and married this Man:

1. He is the Kindest person I know. Everywhere we go, if he sees that someone needs help, he is the first to lend a hand. One night, a couple months after we got married it was late at night and Mike got home from work...I begged Him to go the the grocery store with me. It was snowing really hard outside and on our way there we noticed two cars off the side of the road. To me it looked like the first car had gotten stuck, and the 2nd car was trying to help. So i thought we should just keep driving. Mike just wanted to make sure... so he pulled over and got out. It turns out both cars were stuck. They tried to push the cars out for a couple minutes with no luck...so Mike came back to the car and said, "We need to go buy a Tow strap to get these people out."So we did...Now if it was me, after helping push I would have just said "well sorry I couldn't help more" and left...

2. He makes me a better person

3. He's always willing to rub my feet

4. Playing Games is only fun with him. We get on game streaks sometimes where we will play Settlers or Sequence about 5 or 6 times in one night. We get so competitive sometimes we need to take a 5 min break and kiss and make up. ( I think it's because I win all the time)

5. He's a hottie

6. He is the best Dad

7. He makes me feel good about myself. He's not shy when it comes to complementing me

8.He's always good for a laugh! I have many examples, but just one is when we were driving to Idaho one night and the car was overheating so He pulled over to get out to look under the hood. When he got back in the car to start it up, The key was stuck, We couldn't turn it at all. It wouldn't come out, or it wouldn't turn to start up the car. He was getting so mad. So we called his step dad, who was a 1/2 hr away to come get us. about 20 minutes later, i looked down and noticed-- The car was in Drive. It was never put in park when he turned it off. So we put it in park, and were able to start the car up no problem.

9.He lets me have my free time. When he gets home from work and I've been with Tate all day, he'll take Tate for a couple hours while I go to the gym, or sew or get whatever I need to done.

10. And last, I love him because I love him!

Blessing, New Year and Chirstmas

Tate was blessed on Sunday December 28th, and since I, the dummy, forgot to take pictures of this glorious event, I'm stealing this picture from Emily's Blog. Thanks Emily! She is the Family Historian. Everywhere we go she is taking a million pictures. I looked everywhere for a blessing outfit, but they were all about $50 and he only wears it once, So i found this one at Babies R Us for only $13, on sale! Woo Hoo

As for New years: We went to Justin and Emily's and played Games and ate too much food. Emily is so creative look at this awesome pinata she made for the kids (i guess this post is all about you Emily!)

Christmas Eve Santa (uncle Stewart) came to visit the Grand kids.

My nephew Brody sat on his lap and just started screaming. This pictures says a thousand words...

On Christmas morning we always go to my Grandma's for brunch. That night we were going to get together for Christmas dinner with mike's family, but his mom and step dad got snowed in up in Idaho. So instead Mike and I went to see Yes Man. We took Tate too but I don't think he enjoyed it because he just slept through it.

This was Tate the whole day, he didn't want to wake up until about 8:00 at night. Then when he woke up he just cried and cried for an hour straight.

I Promise, i didn't plan the whole matchy matchy thing! I got Mike a sweater for Christmas, but My mom got Tate this other Cute Sweater. I'm not that mean of a wife to make my husband and Child walk around like mini mees

What happened to my calm baby!

Yes, usually I have it pretty easy. Tate will sleep pretty good during the night, only waking up maybe once. But I'm afraid we've taught him how to CRY. Up until last week he just slept in the bassinet in our room. When he would wake up to eat he'd only whimper, but now that he is in his own room, I can only here him on the monitor when he starts to cry. Now the past couple days he will cry and cry and cry about anything. I hope this won't last long! But regardless he is still SO cute even when he is crying. Sometimes i just can't help but laugh at him. Usually when i hear babies cry, its so annoying, but for some reason he just gets cuter (unless of course I'm trying to sleep).

But on another note...Finally Christmas is almost here! This is my favorite time of the whole year, I love the Lights, the Snow, the MUSIC, and spending time with family. And this year is even better since I don't have to work. We have all our Christmas shopping done, which is a big relief, and even wrapped! Go us! I haven't posted for a couple weeks, so i have many pics to show off.

My good friend Teri and I got together for lunch last week while she was in Town. She is almost 8 months pregnant--- and doesn't even look it. I'm so jealous. She's having a boy, so we are already planning on Tate and him being best friends growing up.

Tate Can hold his head up really really well! We put him on this pillow and give him a little "tummy time" for him to practice.

He looks a little scared to be with Megan..
Daddy and Tate striking the same pose.

Last week we celebrated my Grandpa's 75th birthday. My Grandpa is the coolest... really... he is the epitome of cool. He reminds me of James Bond (just a bit older). And my siblings say he is a White Morgan Freeman.

I have had a lot of free time on my hands since being home with Tate. Here are just random pictures he has this vibrating seat, but he always slides down because of the vibrations---we found him like this....His hat kept falling down in front of his eyes.

Tate always sleeps with his arms up by his head---i think he gets this from Mike

On Sunday we had an Early Thanksgiving Dinner at Grandmas and Grandpas. We tried to take a picture with all the Grandkids, But couldn't get everyone to look at the camera at the same time.

Here we go again

This past week has been one of the greatest weeks of my life, Not just because we have a new little boy... but i no longer have to be pregnant! The past 9 months have been so hard, and I finally feel like i can move around again. Everyday I tell Mike new reasons why i love not being pregnant. Some are:

1. I get more sleep with a baby here then I did the last couple months because i don't have to get up to go to the bathroom every 1/2 hour.

2. I no longer have to sleep with a 10 pillows on the bed just to get comfortable- and i can sleep on my back! woo hoo!

3. I can breath

4. I can now reach my feet to wash them in the shower

5. My wardrobe just got a lot bigger (I can now fit into more then one pair of pants)

On Saturday Morning we got Tate's newborn pictures taken. It was so hard! We got there at 10:00 am and didn't leave until 1:30. He had to be completely naked the whole time, which he hated... and was pooing and peeing all over me and Mike. The poor kid. It was exhausting! I just hope the pictures turn out good.

On Friday my friend Corbin and his wife Ali came over to visit. They just had a little girl about 3 weeks ago: look how cute the future couple are going to be. She kept trying to eat his hand when we were taking pictures

Also, Mike's Mom and step dad came down from Idaho yesterday to see Tate for the first time.

Addition to our Family

Yes, He is finally here! Tate Bradley Kitterman was born on Saturday November 1st, at 11:31 pm. Weighing 7 lbs 5 oz and 21.5 inches long, and absolutely ADORABLE. I can't get over how cute this little boy is!!! It's so weird to think he is all our's, and totally dependent on us.

I started having some pain in my back on Friday but didn't think anything about it, then they started coming more frequent and I realized these might be contractions (so different from what i thought they would feel like because they were all in my lower back.) I was up all night Friday counting them. They tapered off about 6:00 am on saturday morning. Mike had to go help his sister move and I went to have lunch with some friends at the Gateway. They came back while we were shopping, Mike came to pick me up and we just thought we would go to the hospital to see if it was the real thing. We got there at 5:00 pm and told the nurse "we wouldn't be offended if you sent us home" because when we got there i wasn't feeling the pain as consistantly as before. She checked me and i was dilated to a 5! It was really happening, and it scared the crap out of us! An hour later the Dr checked me and I was at a 7 or 8.

I was expecting to be in labor for a long time since this was our first baby, and my mom was in labor for 20hrs with her first. But the nurse said that I should have the baby that same night, And she was right! 40 mins of pushing and he was born. I still can't believe how easy i had it, (of course I had the epidural) but I hope all our kids come this fast.
This whole experience has been very humbling and has made me appreciate Mike so much. He is such a great new dad and I love learning how to be parents together. This is such an exciting time of our lives!
