More pics and fun from the weekend...

I know it's Wednesday but I haven't had a chance to put these up!


Sophie, Grace and Carly, Nathan, Olivia - all five Hahn grandkids. Otherwise known as complete hysteria, chaos, and madness all in one when they are all together.


Kris and Natey


Funny picture of Olivia wearing goggles.


Kris' mom Shellie (aka "Sally") painted designs on Natey's crocs. They are so cute!! He got a frog, spider, turtle and kitty painted on each side. Sally is working on her "boy" art, as she's used to flowers and hearts...she will soon be painting dinosaurs and bugs, you know, that kind of thing...

Also, a few funny Nathan comments:
He was playing with Noah (see previous posts!) and Maggie and I were talking in the living room. We heard something that looked like we needed to investigate. We went in and Nathan raised his hands up and said, "I'M BEING GOOD."

We also got to meet Catey over the weekend! What a doll. You forget how tiny newborns are. She is a sweet angel, and Nathan wanted nothing to do with her! I asked him if he wanted to have a baby come live at our house. He said no, and when I asked him why not, he goes, "We don't have enough seats."

Big weekend in Indy!

Nathan and I had so much fun in Indy this weekend. We missed Kyle and Kyle swore we were gone for weeks but it was only four days...

My parents will celebrate their 40th anniversary on May 4 so we took them out to dinner and gave them a video of old pictures set to music. We had a nice adult dinner and had a sitter for ALL FIVE kids! So nice not to be interrupted and have to take someone to the potty or cut up someone's food, fetch a paci off the floor or refill a sippy cup. Among other higlights:

Tim learned how to text! We believe hell has frozen over!!!

Nathan got to pet the bearded dragon at Coco's school (I was on the complete other side of the room. Photo courtesy of Max Newman.)

We took this picture to send to Kyle because we missed him!
This pretty much sums up the weekend... we were on 65 South for about ten minutes and I looked back and found Natey asleep in the backseat. He slept almost until we pulled in to the driveway!

More pics of Catey

Heather's good friend took pics of Catey... check them out! Can't wait to meet her this weekend!!!

Catey Costlow

Anyone who knows me well knows that being an aunt has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. It started with Sophie, then I ran double duty with the twins, Carly and Grace, and for the short time Olivia lived in Indiana, with her too. It has made me a better person and a better mother.

With that said, I will continue my aunt duties by posting a slideshow of Catey. Because its my blog and I want to. And you're not the boss of me. Enjoy! Can't wait to meet her. Nathan keeps asking me if she's here yet - I think he expects her to knock on our door....

Click on the Title of this blog ("Catey Costlow") to view a slideshow! I can't figure out how to embed it into my blog, and I have three attorneys demanding work out of me.

Catherine Noel Costlow

Meet Catey Costlow!

She's here!!!!

FINALLY… actually she was a bit early, but it feels like forever when you are waiting on a blessing.

Catherine Noel “Catey” Costlow was born today at 12:08 p.m. to Kyle’s sister and brother-in-law, Mark and Heather Costlow! Haven’t got a picture to post but my father-in-law is all over it and is reporting to me live from Clarion North. She is 19.5 inches and 7 pounds. Almost EXACTLY what Nathan was! Funny how this Bartlett family works!

Catey makes our FIFTH niece and Nathan’s FIFTH girl cousin…Poor Nathan; he’s getting used to Barbies and ponies and Polly Pockets…

Can’t wait to meet her and Steve said Heather is doing well. I stopped in church this morning to say a quick prayer for the Costlows for a safe delivery and healthy mother and baby, and prayers have been answered. God is good. :)

Also, while I'm on the topic of blessings, check out this link:

I was telling my sister awhile back how whenever Kyle and I see a soldier, we tell them thanks. It's amazing what this kind gesture does to them. Remember - if you don't stand behind the troops, you can certainly stand in front of them...

Thanks to our soldiers.
