New word!

Tonight Kamryn learned a new word, Ashley. She says Ahhh. It's too cute! I am hoping to make it to the movie Eclipse Friday night with my Mom. I am excited to see it. I have only seen good reviews! Not a whole lot to blog about. I will post more pictures soon! I am happy to say that Ryan mailed me my Sleepy Wrap earlier this week and it's a good thing because Keegan loves it! I am so excited to see Ryan soon! I miss him like crazy! We have so many memories here that I am constantly reminded of him, whether it's seeing something or someone or just a scent that brings back old memories. I can't wait until he gets here!

Growing too fast

Keegan is growing up too fast. Sometimes I think that I can't believe it's already been over 3 weeks since he has been here and other times it feels like he has always been here. It hasn't happened much lately but I will be sitting somewhere and think to myself, Did he move in the past hour? and instantly I think, Duh! You're not pregnant anymore! The last few nights when I have been holding him and he is asleep he has laughed. It's so cute! And the cutest thing ever is that he has been sleeping for 6 hours straight at night and last night it was almost 7! I don't want to jinx it but I am loving it! I think he makes up for the missed feeding through out the day because ever since this started he went from drinking 4oz to 5oz every 3 hours.

Kamryn is growing up on me too! She is saying lots of words: Mama, Dada, Pompa (grandpa), More, Bye Bye (and she waves too!), No no (now that she knows to shake her hand for No No she doesn't say the word very often. She does lots of other babble and I have no idea what she is saying. She has been following Kade around everywhere and is getting faster and faster now that she is walking.

I don't want my kids to grow up...no wonder Toy Story 3 made me cry!

Already the protective older brother!

As much as Kade gets annoyed by Kamryn getting into his things and getting jealous of all the attention she gets, when it comes to other boys hurting or even kissing his sister he gets on the defense. This afternoon I took the kids to McDonald's along with their older cousin Tasia. Tasia was helping Kamryn in the play area. Well another boy accidentally fell on her and he felt bad so he gave her a kiss better. Kade was not too happy about that. He started yelling at the boy telling him that nobody kisses his little sister. I felt bad for the kid. But I didn't find out until later so I couldn't apologize to the poor little boy that got it from Kade. I do like the fact that he doesn't like other boys kissing his sister though!

Milkshake!

Kamryn gets to try all sorts of foods when Grandpa is around. She got her first taste of diet coke when she was around 6 weeks old, of course it was from Grandpa. Kamryn also loves just about any food and she especially loves ice cream and chocolate milk. So when my Dad come over to her with his homemade chocolate marshmallow milkshake Kamryn was ready to drink it up! She LOVED it!

Tonight quite a few times when I was holding her and Grandpa walked by she reached out for him. The only thing she doesn't like about Grandpa is that facial hair. She tries to pick it off his face. It's so cute. Here are a few pictures of her and Grandpa.She wasn't very happy after I put her PJ's on. Grandpa took her outside and of course she had a blast!

New Doll!

Kamryn got a late birthday present from my Mom. It's a Cabbage Patch doll welcome home new baby...I think that's what it's called. Anyways it makes noises when you press it's tummy. She loves it! Some of the pictures are blurry but it's hard to get pictures that aren't blurry when she is so excited and moving!

Don't you love how she is holding her by her hair?

Helping Grandma with the dishes!

It was cute today she went up to Keegan while he was in his carseat. She was being soft and gentle and then lifted his blanket up off his legs and as soon as she spotted his Binky she reached to snatch it. Little stinker! She was only acting nice to get what she wanted! She is loving being outside and getting so much attention from Grandma and Grandpa and her Aunts, Uncles and cousins!

My Little Man!

It was nice because last night he slept for 6 hours straight! Then woke up ate and went back to bed for 3 hours! I am hoping he keeps it up!

Loving the oudoors!

Our first full day in Utah was nice. The weather was nice (a little warm). Kade got to play outside ALL day with his cousins.

Kade and his cousin Daion.

They both LOVED the tramp!

Kamryn got to eat a chocolate cookie courtesy of Grandpa.

She liked the grass once it got cut a little shorter. This picture was taken before it got cut...can you tell?

Kamryn with my parents dog Harley...he is only 4 months old and his paws are the size of my palm! He is a Great Dane and is only going to get bigger!

Keegan had his first bath in the tub and enjoyed it. He also found his thumb!

He didn't even cry!

I don't have a picture of it but Kade almost ended up in the ER! We went to Sam's club to pick a few things up and before you know it (I didn't actually see this) he jumps off one of the benches of a table in the food court area and smacks his head on another bench causing it to bleed and giving him a goose egg.

Kamryn loves all the people and was giving everyone kisses tonight before bed. She misses her Daddy though! I am excited for the weekend and being able to spend it outside!

We made it!

We made it! It wasn't too bad of a car ride! Although it was long the kids did pretty good. Keegan did the best. He slept almost the entire time...which could be the reason he is wide awake right now! At one stop I changed Kamryn and Keegans poopy diapers only to have them both poop again within minutes. We are excited to be in cooler weather and spend some time with family. We are missing Ryan but can't wait for him to join us!

I am so excited to share with you a "sneak peek" of Kamryn's 1 year pictures and Keegan's newborn pictures. Lori, who took my maternity pictures and Kamryn's newborn pictures came over Saturday and took pictures of Kamry and Keegan. Click HERE to see the sneak peek!

We love visitors!

YAY! Jessie, just what she wanted!

Messy Girl!

Jared, Kade, Ashley and Kamryn

We have had such a good time with Grandpa (in the words of Kamryn "Pompa"), Ashley and Jared. Ashley and Jared left this morning to continue on with their vacation in Vegas! Tomorrow my Dad, the kids and I are headed to Utah! I am excited for the cooler weather but not for the long drive with 3 kids! Wish me luck!

I have a little story for you. This morning I walked out to the garage to take Keegan to his ultrasound appointment and there was the most rotten smell. I thought to myself, Wow there must be a dirty diaper in one of the garbages (we have a couple small garbage cans in the garage) or there must be food in one of the garbage cans. I was in a hurry so I made a mental note to dump the trash cans when I got back.

I get back from the appointment. Empty the cans and there was no food or diapers in them. I go to our Diaper Champ that we don't use and make sure the nobody put a diaper in there thinking we actually use it. It's empty. So I go inside and get the kids and my Dad and I go to load them in the car and I tell my Dad how horrible it smells in the garage. I told him how I checked everything. I say, "It smells like something died." Then he asked if we have cleaned out the garage recently and we had a week ago. Then he says, "Oh no, pull the car out a little bit." So I do and he looks in the grill. Sure enough Ryan hit a bird two days earlier and it was stuck in grill of the car!" YUCK! The smell was awful and luckily my Dad was there to rescue me and get rid of the bird for me!

Thanks Dad, You're the best!

Baseball games and Toy Story 3!

On Sunday morning my Dad, younger sister Ashley and her husband Jared got to our house. It has been fun having them here although I don't know how much they are enjoying the HOT weather. On Monday night Ryan and Kade went with them to the Diamondback VS Yankee game. My Dad is a big Yankee fan so he was excited to see them play.

Today we saw Toy Story 3! It was good, but some parts seemed a little scary for a kid movie. I cried at the end. I won't go into details so I don't ruin the movie for those who haven't watched it. Tonight Ryan and My Dad went to another game but they had pretty good seats for only buying them a few weeks ago. It was a Father's Day gift for them.

I will update this post with pictures from the game tomorrow. They were taken on my Dad's camera and I don't know where it is and he is asleep.

2 week update!

The last two weeks have gone by fast. They were going by slow when I wasn't feeling well but now time is passing by so quick. Keegan went for his two week check up this morning and he has already gained 1 pound exactly! He is a good eater! He has an ultrasound appointment on Wednesday due to a cyst of some sort under his armpit and I have also scheduled him for a consult with a pediatric surgeon regarding his "tongue tie". Other than that he has been a great baby!

My long skinny boy!

Aunt Ashley and Keegan!

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there but especially to my sweet husband who is such a great Dad to our kids and to my Dad! I couldn't ask for a better one! I love you both so much and hope that you both have a wonderful Father's Day!

Princess

I guess calling Kamryn princess all the time really stuck with her. This morning when Kade put the crown on her she didn't take it off, she just kept on playing!

Kamryn's little birthday party!

I call it little because it was. We don't have family here so we just had some friends over. It ended up just being our family and the Dunn's. Our other good friends couldn't make it to the party so they came over earlier to play and visit Keegan. Kamryn wasn't quite sure what was going on but she had fun. She loved the attention.

Here are some cute pictures of the birthday girl!

At her 1 year check-up!

Let's PARTY!

Eating her birthday dinner!

Waiting to open presents!

Checking her new shoes out!

She didn't care much about the cake, she was trying to figure our why everyone was singing to her!



She wasn't too happy about having her hands dirty! (Mommy's little girl!)

But she ate every last bite of that piece of cake!
