When I was growing up and people would talk about one day being a mom and having kids I knew that I always wanted to have 4 kids.  I knew that I wanted to have an even number of kids.  My reasoning may seem a little odd but to me it makes perfect sense.  I have always loved amusement parks since the time I was little.  The thrill of the rides, the waterpark, the games you can play, the delicious food.  The atmosphere of an amusement park is my happy place.  I can walk through the gates and instantly be in a better mood.  It puts a smile on my face just thinking about it.  Well at amusement parks you ride in sets of 2 for most rides.  When my family goes to an amusement park I wanted everyone to have someone to sit next to on a ride.  Have an odd number of family members and too bad someone has to sit alone.  So 4 was the perfect number of kids to have.  10 years ago I had our first kid, then 8 years ago the 2nd, 4 years ago the 3rd, and finally this year kid number 4 joined our family.  

I always dread being sick and hate being pregnant so it was very hard for me to want to get pregnant again but I knew kid number 4 was going to be the perfect addition to our family.  So I introduce Kooper Carey.  He joined our family on June 27th, 2019 weighing 7 lbs 8 oz.   All during labor I told myself I was going to hold the camera and take photos as I was having him.  That was my full proof plan up until about 5 minutes before, when the doctor told me I needed to hold my legs to push.  So I got the settings all ready, passed the camera off to my husband, and prayed he got something in focus.  He did an amazing job and got so many shots I love.  Here are some from his birth!
