happy birthday buggy dear!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDALYNN!

#2

So Kendalynn has been around for a whoppin' 2 years now which to us just seems crazy. She's the craziest kid I know, and we love her to pieces. She's such a great combination of everything wonderful. She's energetic and SO much fun to have around! Of course she has her "fun" moments when she is a typical 2 year old, but if you ask me, she's not at all a "terrible two." At the doctor today (what a fun present...a trip to the doctor! luckily...no shots for her) she weighs a whole 23 lbs (10th percentile) and as the doctor put it, "petite and perfect." I don't think I recognize enough what a blessing it is to have such an awesome kid who has never had any serious health problems and is completely wonderful in every way. Man I just think she's the greatest little girl ever.

As far as Logan man goes... He also had his 2 month check up today (although he is 3 months) and he's perfectly awesome also! He is 14.1 lbs (60th percentile), 24.5 inches (54th percentile), and he is doing extremely wonderful. He sadly did have to get shots today, and he actually recovered quite quickly for the little pansy baby he is. (Now don't think I mean "pansy" in a bad way, because I don't at all. Logan is so incredibly different from Kendalynn as a baby. Both are extremely good babies, but he is much more of the tender sort. You can already tell he's much more sweet and cuddly which makes me ecstatically happy.) Other than that, he's doing great! He sleeps through the night for at least 10 hours which as far as I'm concerned is the most awesome thing in the world.

We sure do love our kiddos!!!

a birthday shout out

HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMBERLY!

Today is dear little Emberly's birthday. There is no doubt that little Emmy is one of Kendalynns favorite people in the whole world. Kids Kendalynns age tend to forget people they have seen in a while until they see them again and then they quickly remember. Well it's not like that with Emmy. Even though we haven't seen her since

September, Kendalynn frequently walks around the house asking where Emmy is, or she'll stand at the door looking out the windows saying "Emmy, bye bye." And when we look through pictures from the last few months, if we encounter any of Emmy we hear a lot of mumblings about her for the rest of the day.

So here's to you little Emmy girl. Have a superb birthday!

(ignore the hair attacking both their faces. this very intense smile just goes to show how happy Kendalynn is around Emmy.)

a little update

Well I figured I should update my blog and let people know what we've been up to. And yes, you may have already noticed (since I'm pretty sure people only visit this just to see pictures of my kids..) that there are no pictures. BUT...I will gladly post a link at the bottom to my latest facebook album. Lucky you.

So this last month our most exciting thing was to go out to Utah to go to Kara and Ryan's wedding. Hooray! It was awesome for sure. Casey and Kara went through the temple for the first time together since Casey is leaving on his mission in 10 DAYS to go to Anchorage, Alaska. (enjoy the cold Casey...) While we were there we got to stay with my Aunt Lori & Uncle Scott and we had tons of fun just sitting around with them talking. We also got to go up to Layton area (Kaysville specifically) to go and visit my dad's parents and show off the cute kiddos and chat with them. AND...we ate at Bajio aka Heaven. It was wonderful.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at Tyler's cousin Kristy's house with a bunch of his family that live in the area. It sure is nice to have family around. And tonight we had an early Christmas with Tyler's parents and Casey, since Casey will be leaving before Christmas and Tyler and I & kiddos will be off to Arkansas this year for Christmas. That's right everyone...we're going to Arkansas and I honestly can't wait. HOORAY! My sister and her hubby (and new cutey-pah-tootie baby Ainsley!) live there and my parents and brother are also spending there Christmas there so it will be loads of fun. And sadly we will all probably gain a few pounds with my mom around baking but it will be worth it for all the yummy treats we'll get.

So other than that, things are going great around here. Kendalynn is cute and crazy as ever and doing great with Logan. She never tries to sit on him or pick him up anymore, so that's definitely a good thing! Logan is the happiest baby I have ever seen no doubt. He smiles allllll the time at me, and loves me sooo much that he has been sleeping through the night for a good 3 weeks now. Awesome?? Yes yes indeed. We sure love having them both around, and there definitely is not a dull moment with Kendalynn and all the crazy things that she does.

So anyway, like I promised, here is the link to the photo album I added just the other day. Enjoy!
