Almost 2 weeks...












Well, it seems crazy that baby Kenna will be 2 weeks tomorrow. Time sure does fly! Between the holidays, and the lack of sleep, it has all been kind of a blur! We did have a great Christmas. It was so nice to have Kenna here. Bridger was so fun for Christmas this year. He really caught on to what it was all about and was so excited! I love his age! Bridger made out very well...between mom and dad, Santa, and all of his aunts, uncles, and grandparents...he has a larger toy collection and a lot of new clothes...which I love!
Bridger loves his little sister! So far he has done very well with her. He tries to help me when he can and is always giving her hugs and kisses...so cute! I attached some random pics...one of her first bath at home, and then just some other ones. She is so funny...she gets some hilarious facial expressions, so I thought I would show one of them! We feel so blessed to have two wonderful little children!

Baby Kenna...












Well, it's taken me a week to post anything, but our little baby Kenna arrived last weekend...December 14 at 12:22 am. She weighed 7 pounds and was 18 1/2 inches long. She was two weeks early...they had to induce me because I was running a fever and my amniotic fluid was way low again. Anyway, we are doing great and she is so cute! Bridger loves having her here...hopefully that lasts! Now, if we can just make it through the whole feeding/sleeping business, we'll be good to go! She's a little sweetie and we love having her in our family! I will post more pictures soon, as she is already nearly a week old!

Bridger is 3...



I can hardly believe that my little baby boy is already 3. It has gone by so quickly and I realize that before long he won't be my baby at all. He is such a sweet little boy...sometimes he is so busy and crazy, but that is to be expected. I love how quickly he catches on to things and how he can carry on a conversation so well. I also love how he is so into all the "boy" things...he loves cars, being outside, 4-wheeler rides, and basically anything that Josh enjoys! However, he does still like to be clean and have his room, etc clean...which he gets from me. And I love how excited he is to be a big brother. I think he had a great birthday. We gave him clothes, a book, train tracks for his train set, and Legos. He loves the Legos...they are way fun for him...and Josh! We just chilled around the house on his actual birthday, and played with him...I think he enjoyed that. He did have school the morning of his birthday and was very excited to take cupcakes to his friends at school.



The day after his birthday he had his 3 year old check up, which included shots...he did quite well with them and only cried for about 30 seconds at the most. The nurses couldn't believe how cute he was when he was crying. One of the nurses said to him (after giving him a shot), "Oh, can I just give you a hug...you are so cute." He does have a very cute sad/crying face...which sucks me right in sometimes. Anyway, he is doing well. He is 40 inches tall, which is the 95th percentile and he weighs 36.8 pounds, which is the 89th percentile...so he is still a big boy...which we already knew. Happy birthday little Bridger...we love you!

Bridger's birthday party...












We celebrated Bridger's birthday over the weekend...it was a few days early, but that worked out the best. It's hard to believe he is going to be 3! Anyway, we had a great little family party. Bridger requested a long time ago that he have a dinosaur cake for his birthday. I made him one...it took forever, but it turned out pretty good and he absolutely loved it! We had yummy turkey burritos and chips and salsa...Bridger loves Mexican food, especially chips and salsa! He got a lot of great presents, including: a new coat, a ball thing he calls "Grub", a book, a puzzle/book, 4 in one puzzle, an aquadoodle, dinosaurs, Kung Fu Panda, clothes, and my favorite...underwear...oh I wish everyone could have seen his reaction to that...it was hilarious! And that does not include anything we are giving him...we're saving it for his actual birthday...anyway, he's very loved! He really enjoyed having everyone here for him and was excited about it all day! Oh, one of my favorite things he said/did was during the cake and ice cream time. He finished blowing out the candles on his cake, so I took the cake to the counter to cut it. When Aunt Felicia handed him his piece of cake, he looked at her and said, "What did you do to my cake?" He didn't understand at first that the cake was to eat, because he loved the dinosaur! Such a funny boy! Thanks to all our family for making his party great and for all the wonderful gifts!

Trick-or-treating...

Our adorable little "Blue Monster"!!


Bridger was so excited to go trick-or-treating! It took forever to get him into his costume because he was just way too excited! He would hardly pose for any pictures, because he just wanted to get going...so, there is only one picture of him before. When he got back he immediately took his costume off because it got wet due to the rain! So, I am just glad I got some pictures of him in his costume at the Halloween parties we've been too. He was pretty excited about all the candy he got...he made out pretty well and they weren't even gone that long! Oh, we have a ton of kids around here, so we had a lot of trick-or-treaters...at least 160...a little crazy! Anyway, Bridger was way excited for Halloween and now I can't believe it's over and that it's November already!
