The first day of school!! YAY!!

2009-08-30T14:39:00.000-07:00

So the kids are back in school. It is so nice to be back on a schedule and have a few hours to myself. I must say lincoln was a great little babysitter this summer and it was nice to run errands and leave Kenndey at home with him, but thats ok I love the kids being back in school. Trae started at the brand new High sachool in Stansbury so that is pretty exciting. It is amazing inside. Trae also turned 16 this summer so he now gets to drive to school. Jason has had this old 1965 ford truck forever so he got it running for trae to drive. I must admit I didnt love it at first but it is a cool truck. All the inside is original so it looks pretty cool. Lincoln started a new school but he did great just as we knew he would. Made friends the first day and played many different sports at recess. On friday he even told me that he found out a girl likes him. One week into school and already has potential girlfriends.

Fun pictures

We have had a busy summer with lots of baseball, camping trips and many trips to the zoo. Kennedy loves to go to the zoo and play on the playground with lincoln, tey are so cute together and are best friends! Jason was going thru the pictures on the camera and realized there are no pictures of Trae that is not done by design he just wasnt ever around when we went places or had the camera out. Just wanted to share a few pictures of the kids. I love the one with Jason holding Kennedy and her cousin Harley, Those kids are so cute together now that they are mobile. I cant believe Kennedy is almost ONE!! I am already planning her party and hope it turns out just perfect for her. This past year has just flown by and she is getting bigger and bigger each week. She is doing so many fun things now that just bring out her cute little personality. It is amazing how she shows off for people or should I say just us her family because she really has gotten to become quite a mommas girl since I have stayed home with her. Although she gets so excited when daddy comes home because he will hold her all night and if he walks out of the room she will cry. She was awake when he was leaving to work a few days ago and she about lost it and cried so hard because he left. It is so cute how you can see how much she loves him.

A few new pictures

2009-06-28T17:28:00.001-07:00

Here are a few pictures of kennedy playing with tank and her toys. I also gave her a lemon when we were out to eat and so that is why she is making a weird face. And the cutest picture of her taking a nap with her butt straight up in the air.

We have had a very busy last few days. Jasons nephew from Cedar City got married and it has been a week long event. I just wanted to post a few pictures of us and I think the cuttest picture of kennedy at the family bbq with her hand on her knee with her lips sucked in.

I am back!!

Ok so I just about gave up on blogging. I felt that I never had time to be on the computer and updating pics and qritting whats new in our lives, plus we dont have much going on. So I have quit my job and now everyone says I have time to do this so I will try to keep it updated. Kennedy is just about 9 months old and she is doing new things every weeek. She is crawling /scooting , she loves to run around the house in her walker, she is getting chubbier from all the food we give her. Lincoln has nmade the Allstar baseball league so that has consummed alot of our time. He has practice 2x a day 6 days a week, the first one at 6 am till 7:30 and the other at 6pm till 8pm. PLus he still has games for his regular team too. We are excited and proud of him. Trae is busy with football this summer. It is hard to believe that he is going to be a junior this year and is driving everywhere and gets his license in August. Jason and I are doing great andjust enjoying all the kids and stuff they have going on and keeping us very busy.Here are some pictures to remind you all who we are and what we look like.

I hope you all enjoy the new pictures.

I'm so sorry I havent updated my blog in a while but the baby doesnt like me to be on the computer. We have had alot going on the past month. We ended up having jasons family over for thanksgiving at the last minute, his dad came down with the flu so there were 17 people here at my house. It all worked out great and I think everyone had a good time. Kennedy has changed so much in only 2 months. She is smiling alot more and making noises. She went to her 2 month appt and she now weighs 11 lbs 2 oz and the doc wouldnt tell me her length becasue he doesnt ever think the measurments are accurate. She had her shots and did really well for them but then started screaming when I had to put her clothes back on her. Last night we went to temple square and saw the lights, she did really good because she slept the entire time. Then we wnt and saw the lights at the zoo and that was really fun. They have these 3D glasses you can buy and when you look at the lights they have snowmen around them. Then we finished up the night with dinner at Ruths Diner. Kennedy is getting blessed today so we are preparing for 26 people to come over afterwards for a dinner get together. I will try to keep this updated better but here are some pics and I hope you enjoy them.

My how time flies by

2008-11-01T11:17:00.000-07:00

I can't belive how fast the time goes by. It has already been 1 month since Kennedy was born. At her 2 week appointment she was up to 7lbs. That is up from her leaving the hospital at 5lbs 13oz. She has had such a busy month. First her aunt Keri came in town and all the girls went up and stayed a night in Heber, (yes it was her first night away from her dad) and then we had family pictures taken with my family at Wheeler Farm and she was actually awake for them and then last she celebrated Halloween and was so cute as an itsy bitsy spider. She and her cousin Harley got their pictures taken in their costumes and they are so cute together.

Here is Kennedy!!

2008-10-08T11:55:00.000-07:00

So I know it has taken a while for me to post pictures of her but our computer is downstairs and I havent been able to go up and down stairs until now. So we had her on Oct 1st at 12:40 pm. She was 6 lbs and 8 oz and 19 inches long. She is so tiny and when we left the hospital she was 5 lbs and 13 oz. She is such a good baby and actually sleeps for about 5 hours straight during the night. She never cries unless she is hungry and that isnt even that bad of a cry. We all adore her and cant get enough of her we just sit and stare at her. Everyone was so against me getting a c section and let me tell you it is not that bad at all and it is nothing like people described it to be. I am able to move around just fine and bend over and pick things up and I am feeling great.

6 days to go

2008-09-26T09:34:00.001-07:00

We are so excited about the new arrival of Kennedy in only 6 days. I cant belive it is already here. I have a doctors appointment on Tues and will find out all the details of the next days delivery.

3 weeks to go!!!!!

2008-09-09T19:57:00.000-07:00

Today we had our 36 weeek doctor visit and everything is looking just great. The doctor let us schedule our delivery date, he would let us go 1 week out so we will be having our baby Kennedy on October 1st unless I happen to go into labor before that, but I am not holding my breath.

Lake Powell

2008-09-04T17:56:00.001-07:00

Over Labor Day weekend we spent half our time at the lake and the other half of the weekend at Kims house in Cedar City. When we arrived to the lake on saturday it was great weather during the day and it poored at night. Keep in mind I am due in 5 weeks and I am camping in a tent. The next morning it was overcast and when we decided to take down camp it started to poor. We threw everything in the boat and took off across the lake back to the dock. I thought I was going to go into labor. The rain didnt stop and we were all soaked along with all our stuff we had with us, so we threw it in the car and headed back to Cedar city. we had quite a mess to clean up when we got back. We had to set up all the tents to dry them out aswell as our sleeping bags. Lincoln Learned how to knee board and got up on his first try as well as water skiing. Trae learned how to surf behind the boat and did really well at that too. We all had a blast.

Only 6 and 1/2 weeks to go!!

Here is a picture of my belly. I cant wait to see how cute our little girl is going to be.

First day of school for the boys

2008-08-22T18:03:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of Trae on his first day of 10th grade. It is scary that he is a sophmore in high school, he is even taking drivers ed the first half of the year that means he is going to get his permit in a few weeks. Scary!!

Here is a picture of Lincoln on his first day of 4th grade.

My family loves coming here every summer to spend time golfing, swimming and camping. Here is a pic of Jason and the boys at the golf course. It is such a great course becuase it is easy enough for me and the kids since we arent that great but we have a blast.

2008-08-11T17:16:00.001-07:00
