Grandma's Birthday

March is full of birthdays in our family. This weekend we celebrated my mom's birthday with a pizza party. I think I took a picture of almost everyone except my mom! Happy Birthday anyway Mom, you're the best! It was a nice relaxing weekend for us.

Jeff and Kennady

The boys have been able to play outside the last few days. They love it, but I go crazy trying to keep track of them and trying to take care of a new baby that can't go outside yet!! I am dying to find a play set for sale, if anyone knows of anyone selling one, let me know!


My friend Kelly is very good at getting video of her kids and putting it on her blog, she said she just takes video on her digital camera. I never think to do that! I never take video, because I hate getting the video camera out all the time. But my camera is always out, so I have tried to do better this week about getting some video.
The first video is of Gavin interacting with Kennady. He calls her Neddy. He thinks she is his baby. He says "HI Neddy" about 100 times a day. And pokes her eyes about 10 times a day.




The second video is what I found the boys doing outside on Saturday! Such creative little boys. They are going to hurt themselves before summer even starts!





This is how we found Gavin today after church. I know that many of your kids will fall asleep anywhere when they are tired, but mine never do!! Not on the couch or in strollers. We are lucky if they fall asleep in the car. So this was a little miracle today in our house! Poor tired little boy!

Six weeks

I can't believe it has been six weeks!! She is getting sooooo BIG!! She smiled at me today, I swear it was intentional! She is cooing. And she loves to be held.(I wonder Why!?) It makes it really hard to get anything done, but that is alright. I don't mind holding her all day. Just don't come to my house and expect it to be clean or the kids to be dressed!
Time is flying by, before I know it I will be back to work! This month has kept us busy with lots of birthdays!
I put Kennady in a 3-6month outfit today to test out the size, and it is none too big for her!!! AHHHH! Slow down little girl, your getting big too fast!

Happy Birthday little monkey!!

My little Gavin turned 2 on Saturday!! I can't believe my little monkey is a toddler! When I found out I was pregnant with Kennady, I was so upset because Gavin was still just a baby!! My how he has changed and grown in 9 months!! Gavin is a crack up! He is such a funny guy!! He is so different from Gage, but he adores Gage and Kennady!

For Gavin's birthday we went to Discovery Gateway, my kids just love that place. And because he shares his birthday with 2 uncles, everyone came over for cake and icecream that night! He had a great birthday! I just love that little boy!!











This week has been uneventful(other than Gavin's birthday of coarse!), and that sometimes, is just the way we like it!! So here are some random pics of our week.....





Some have asked what Kennady's nursery looks like, so her are some pics.....

Week 3....not so great

Week three of Kennady's life was not as good as the first two!! Jeff was SICK!! He stayed in bed for 5 days straight!! It really sucked! It was a chore to take care of everyone by myself and try to keep everyone from getting sick, especially Kennady! I was exhausted! Jeff even missed his own birthday party on Sunday!

Kennady has also been very congested and wants to sleep upright or not sleep at all. Needless to say, I haven't slept much and when I have, it has been sitting up!

Also, my future brother in law spent nearly a week in the hospital in renal failure. Sign up for boot camp at your own risk!!

Jeff's car broke down for a day, luckily we think it was just the battery!

Kennady has goo-gooed this week though! It is very cute!

I hope this next week will be better! Gage, Kennady and Gavin



Kennady and cousin Brooke, exactly 3 months apart!

Jeff's birthday!

Two weeks!!

Kennady is two weeks old today! She had her 2 week check up and is now up to 8 lbs. 7 oz. She is such a good little baby! She still doesn't get put down much though!
This last week has been a week of adjustment as Jeff has gone back to work and school! I tried grocery shopping with Gavin and Kennady while Gage was in school. It didn't work out so hot. I had Kennady's carseat in the place where Gavin usually sits, so I had to put Gavin in the basket of the cart. Well, he either was trying to push the carseat off the cart or he was opening something. He managed to open a package of hotdogs and eat a raw one!!!! Oh, that makes me sooooo sick!!! I guess we will start shopping at midnight when Jeff is home! Speaking of midnight, if you came to our house at midnight you would find Jeff and Kennady curled up together studying! She is quite the study partner! She is learning all sorts of accounting!

We got Kennady's pictures taken on Monday, we are excited to see how those turned out, I will be sure to post pictures when we get them back.



Jeff's sister and family was in town this week. So we had a pizza and rock band party at our house this week. Our nephew Seth just returned home from his mission, so it was nice to see them.

Wonderful Weekend

We had a great weekend. Tyler and Jill (my brother and sister-in law) had their baby Jackson sealed to them on Saturday. Then they blessed both of their babies in church today! It was fun to be apart of these special occasions in their lives! We are very happy for their little family!

Kennady's first outing, so we had fun dressing her up!!
