Updated

I have been awful about updating lately. I know...I could give you all my excuses...I've been working all day, everyday; I'm 8 months pregnant; my internet has been nearly non existent lately; and I'm just tired...but I won't give you any of those excuses. I'll just try to be better. So here goes. Here is a little bit about what has been going on with us.


Many a morning you will find Madison just like this, sitting in Kennedie's carseat holding some baby or other, and watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. She loves Mickey Mouse. She is doing well...but I think she is finally starting to sense what is going on with her mommy. She has decided to completely ignore me and wants nothing to do with me for like the past week. It doesn't help that I have been so busy with work, but it BREAKS MY HEART! If my mom or sister are watching her they say that she just wanders around saying mommy and is really clingy, but then when I pick her up she just ignores me. If Alan's home she will only let him hold her, change her diaper, or even play with her. I just sit and cry about it alot because i don't know how to help her or how to make it better. Hopefully she will get better, but probably not for a while.

I am 35 weeks and sooo uncomfortable! I don't sleep well anymore. I've been having a lot of contractions, but they always go away which is good because I'm not quite ready for her to come yet...and neither is she. This past week I had the most enjoyable opportunity to pass a kidney stone. I've decided I hate kidneys and I don't think they are too fond of me either. It was painful, but not as painful as a kidney infection so at least that was good. Other than pregnancy I have been busy with work. We had a big get together last weekend and have another customer one coming up next weekend so we are going going going at work. Thank heavens that my boss and coworkers take such good care of me and make me sit down. It's been very stressful on my body.
I've also been trying to get the girls bedroom ready for when Kennedie gets here...little by little. I made this new bow board today for their room. I will eventually finish their room and post some pictures of it. Until then.

The best husband on Earth!

As most of you probably know we are pretty busy people. I have a neighbor who told me last week and she needed to talk to me and kept coming to try to knock on my door, but the only time she could see my van home was at like 9-10 at night. Which was sadly so true. My point is we are busy and I'm stressed to the max and sometimes I know I take it out on my wonderful husband. And instead of getting mad at me about it, I find things like this.


I came down for breakfast and this was hanging from the ceiling. It's pictures of us and a heart shaped note that read...

Throughout the day I found more flowers and notes and pictures all over my house, in my car, outside. Any random place he knew I would go.

I kept getting more...
and more! What an amazing man I married. Not to mention how well he knows me...I love snickers! Thanks babe I love you!

Labor Day Weekend

For Labor Day weekend Matt and Ali decided to come up to visit! Yay! We love when they decide to come. Then Clint and Emma decided to make a weekend out of it and invited us all up to Clint's family cabin to hang out. I also had my niece and nephew, Garrett and McKinley, for Beth while they went up north. So we had a lot going on, but it was so fun!


Emma, me, Ali, and mom Paxton up in Pine Valley


That week Emma had celebrated her birthday so we threw her a tinkerbell birthday party and had this yummy cake! Happy Birthday Em...sorry I'm so late on posting it :)

Madison and Matt

All the boys love dressing up as super heros! and I mean all the boys!

Alan also took everyone shooting which was way fun! I love this picture of Alan and Alison. Mostly because of the look on Ali's face. haha

On Monday, we went to the splash park to celebrate Caden's first birthday. The kids had a blast!

Although poor Caden was super sick that day.

As you can see we had such a blast with everyone being here! We love when family comes to visit!
