Friday, November 25, 2011. One year and many many reasons to be thankful! Happy 1st Birthday to our dear son Klayton! He is such a blessing to our family. We are thankful for his giggles, cuddles, health, sleep, love for his sisters, desire to learn and play, blue eyes, big smile.I could go on and on! He is such a sweet, sweet boy and I can't imagine our lives without him! His 12 month stats:. Weight: 21 lbs 11 oz (around 35th percentile). Before I get into the details of his one year birthday celebratio...

The Van Mersbergens: February 2012
http://vanmersbergens.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 3, 2012. Miss Brynn now is the proud owner of her very own purple glasses! She is very excited about them and Hailey is getting over the fact that she can see so she doesn't need them. She tried on several pairs and picked these purple ones. They have little green circles on the inside of the "arms" which she thought were cute and of course, they had to be purple! I can see you guys! Her cute little purple case and Brynn's favorite - her own "cleaner". Wow.this is big time!

The Van Mersbergens: October 2012
http://vanmersbergens.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 5, 2012. Here we are 5 days into October and I realize I haven't blogged for 4 months! I will try to do better, but no promises! Makayla was added to our family on September 6. We thought she might be born on the 7th and share a birthday with Jason but she was 47 minutes too early. Now we will have three birthdays within five days at our house! We were so thankful to have a healthy, full term baby. I feel like God should give parents another set of eyes for each child we have! Klayton was...

Thursday, January 19, 2012. I am way behind on pictures so here is a very long catch-up blog on life! Here are a few of Hailey and Brynn's 3 year pictures. Hailey - 30.6 lbs.

Brynn wanted a Rapunzel (lemon) cake for her birthday. We had two very excited girls the day of their party! Klayton, of course, loved the wrapping!

http://vanmersbergens.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 2, 2011. 9 month checkup, Iowa State Fair and Honey Creek. I got a little behind on blogging. We will play catch-up and see if I can get the details of life over the last month posted. Klayton is now 10 months but his 9 month appt in August went very well. He was 19 lbs 14 oz and 27 3/8 inches long. Still falling between the 40-50 percentile so we are so thankful to have a healthy boy! Loves to be greeted by his sisters in the morning and after naps! Grain: whole grain pancakes. We head...

The Van Mersbergens: January 2014
http://vanmersbergens.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 5, 2014. 2013 in Review Part 2. More pictures for you! The day we scheduled Makayla's one year pictures turned out to be 104 degrees. A bit miserable.and Makayla didn't think this was very fun. Ironically, these crying faces you see are exactly what daddy saw when mom wasn't around during her first year of life. I love this next one - not because my sweet girl is so sad, but because of the amount of emotion packed into that expression. My dear child - life is really not that bad. And ice ...

Sunday, October 23, 2011. One 11 month-old and two big girls! Klayton is still a pretty big mama's boy and loves to cuddle. I am taking advantage of his cuddly nature while I still can. On to the next subject - Hailey and Brynn are big girls now! They are done with diapers. Woohoo! There was even an emergency call to Jason at work the 2nd day and I told him I NEEDED him to come home and either take the girls or take the baby. He did, and life was better. Luckily she held it until we got home. She ran...

The Van Mersbergens: August 2011
http://vanmersbergens.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 15, 2011. Before we get to the fun, of course all three kids had to get sick this summer. The winner - Roseola.here is a picture of the dreadful looking (although not really bothersome) rash after the high fevers. I don't have a picture of the girls but it started with Brynn who gave it to Hailey who gave it to Klayton. I am not looking forward to winter. Now, on to the fun! The pink flamingos are the girls' new favorite animals. Looking at the colorful birds with daddy. Observing". Ha...

Friday, June 1, 2012. The last few months. Time seems to get away from me these days! Jason got a few rounds of golf in and we both enjoyed much relaxation. We drove up to the mountains to see the huge Sequoia trees - what an amazing thing to see. It is hard to take in how vast these trees are until we were looking back at the pictures. Amazing to think that some of these trees existed when Jesus walked the earth. Hailey and Brynn were part of a tumbling class at the end of the spring. They both real...

Saturday, June 25, 2011. Happy Father's Day, Daddy (yes, this post is a little late)! Thanks for everything you do - you are a great Daddy and we always look forward to seeing you when you get home! The kids are pretty good shoppers and were excited to choose the gift - Daddy got a new pair of shoes! Every morning we do a run down of where daddy is and how he got there -. Hailey -Daddy took the black car today, Mama? Me - Yes, Daddy drove the black car today. Brynn - Daddy at work? Hailey and Brynn love ...
