I'm finally aunt.

I've been waiting for this moment for years.

Kae finally had her baby and Nae and I got to go up to Idaho last weekend to visit, cuddle, and completely spoil mama and her baby (oh, and Dave too...).

 [JaeKaeNae+Nat]

JaeKaeNae got started back in high school when the three of us were inseperable.  

We came up with JaeKaeNae sitting on my parents lawn one night. 

Ever since then, we've been the inseparable trio.

Boys knew that if they asked us to any of the school dances, the three of us always had to be in a group.  

So yes, there were many times that our dates sacrificed being with their friends so they could go on a date with one of us because we refused to be separated.

A little high maintenance? 

Nah...

Once we graduated high school, we all had to go our separate ways.  

Nae took off to BYU-I for a few semesters while Kae and I stayed behind and went to BYU-Provo. 

Kae moved out into the dorms and I stayed at home to save some money.

We all made new friends and rarely saw each other during each semester.  

Before leaving for our first semester of college, we got together and bought a journal that we mailed to each other every 2 weeks (kind of like the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants).

During those 2 weeks, we recorded what was going on in our lives and what new beau's were entering our lives and causing us new drama.

It kept us together and updated the whole group of each other's lives.

Every summer during college, we tried to get together and go up to my parents cabin for a JaeKaeNae sleepover.  

We'd dig up an old box that we put memento's and guesses about where we'd be in the future.  

I was always supposed to marry a hot cowboy who would wear tight wranglers and dance with me in the rain.

I didn't marry a cowboy... but I did marry a man who will dance with me in the rain!

It's been a couple of years since we all graduated college, got married, and now Kae is the first to extend her family with the first baby of the group!

Little Natalie is perfect in every way.  

She has Kae's cute little nose and LOTS of hair!

[Auntie Nae]

Welcome to JaeKaeNae, little Nat.

One day, you can marry one of my sons or become besties with my little girls.

Deal?

Deal.
