Remembering Friends

I'm still a rookie at this blog thing, but I'm getting new ideas
that look like so much fun!!!!

Directions

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments

Our fun 4th!!!!!!

For the fourth we had a BBQ at my parents house and had lots of yummy food!! After we wents to the Clearfield park and watched the fireworks with some friends, and we had a lot of fun. I think once the fireworks started Kennley really enjoyed watching all the bright colors. I really enjoy the different holidays when you can spend time with your family and friends.


Look at those cheeks:)


This was my latest purchase at
Babies R Us. It keeps all the
bugs and mosquitos out. I would
reccomend it to anyone with babies.

Kennley's Baby Blessing

Today was such a wonderful day because we blessed our baby girl!!!! The day started out a little rough though. Saturday night I made sure to set the alarm for 6:30 a.m. so that I could get up and nurse Kennley and then get ready for church at 9 o'clock. Kennley woke up at 5:30 so I nursed her and we both fell back to sleep, and at 6:30 the alarm went off and I hit the snooze. I got up in a panic and started to get ready thinking that I had just enough time to get ready and feed Kennley one more time before the blessing so that she would be content. But would you believe that at 7:45 my blowdryer blew up and I still had a head of wet hair with and hour to go until we had to walk out the door. I ran into the bedroon in a panic and made Brent run to Wal-mart and buy me a new one(I love having a Wal-mart right by our house.) So needless to say my whole plan did not work cause by the time he got back from the store I had just enough time to get ready and get Kennley dressed. She looked so beautiful!!!! Luckily I had some milk frozen so we just took it with us. We walked in right at the nick of time. We sat down and hurried to get her bib on and feed her, but she would not take the bottle. Finally she started eating when they said they were ready to do the blessing, and my first thought was oh no she just ate and did not burp.......Those poor guys are going to get spit up on. But she did great even with a half full stomach she was so peaceful for the blessing(I think she knew her daddy was nervous and she didn't want to make him more nervous) Brent said such a beautiful blessing that came right from his heart, and it couldn't have been any better. Afterwards we had our family and friends over for breakfast. It was so good to get everyone together for such a special day in our lives. We are so blessed to have our little angel in our family. We love her so much and wonder how we got so lucky to have such a precious baby girl who we adore.







I knew when I saw this dress she would look beautiful in it!!!!!!

What a rought past couple of days we have had. I think we are going on the sixth day with Kennley being super fussy, and we weren't sure what was going on. First of all she has acid reflux and takes previced every day(thank goodness for the medicine). We have spent the last few nights walking around the house for hours while she just cries and screams and we can't do anything to calm her down. My first thought was to call her pediatricion but he is out of town, so I have been stressing out thinking something else could be wrong. So tonight I finally decided we needed to take her into the Dr. to make sure everything was OK. We loaded her in the car at 10:00 p.m. and drove to Wee Care Pediatrics and had her looked at to be on the safe side. She did really well when we first got there, but when the Dr. started poking around she was not haveing it. She had a little built up wax in her right ear so her got his little plastic instrument out and went after it. Brent was holding her body down while he cleaned out her ears and all I could do was stand back and close my eyes. My poor baby was screaming her lungs off and turning as red as a tomato. I couldn't wait until it was over!!! But it was the cutest thing ever when Brent was holding her to get her to calm down she buried her face in his chest and fell right to sleep. Luckily she did not have a fever or any other infection going on, but the conclusion was she has collic. I can sleep a little better now knowing that my baby is not sick.

On Father's Day my side of the family went to the Dinosour park. It was a really hot day so Brent and I spent most of our time in the museum to keep Kennley out of the sun. My little nephew who is 2 1/2 loved it there and still talks about going back, so I guess it's a good thing my dad bought a season pass.

All tuckered out

When diapers become helmets:)

Today while Brent was changing Kennley's diaper he decided it would be really cute to put a diaper(clean of course)on her head and make her smile. I was in the kitchen, when I heard "hurry bring in the camera", so I did. And when I walked in the nursey I found my baby girl with a diaper on her head, and I couldn't help but laugh. I know her daddy is going to keep those picures in a safe place, and when she gets married(If we ever decide to let her leave the nest) those are definately going in her wedding video.

Welcome to our blog!

Hi everyone. We decided to start a blog to keep our family and friends up to date on our little family. But bear with us cause this is our very first time. We hope everyone enjoys reading about our family(even though most of our stories and pictures will be of our little angel, Kennley)
