My Girls

Today is a rainy day and I am so excited for spring and summer to get here already. I am so tired of being stuck inside. We are pretty much homebodies right now with a new baby and poor Kaymbree has been such a trooper. I just wanted to blog a little about my girls and their different personalities. First of all, they are so cute together. These sisters are best friends. Kennedy smiles when she sees Kaymbree. Kaymbree is always talking to the baby and wanting to give her kisses.

I know Kennedy looks even more huge than she already is when she is sitting on Kaymbree's lap. It is pretty funny. Kennedy is such a big baby. She is over 95%tile in height and weight. We often joke that we have a fat baby. But she is gorgeous and so much fun. And we love her chubby cheeks and legs. Her personality is really shining. She loves to smile and giggle. She lights up the room and she also eats all day long. So for me I am pretty much nursing all day long! Kennedy is sleeping so good. She pretty much sleeps through the night now and takes at least two good naps in the day. She is such a good baby with such a sweet heart. She has patience when I have to attend to Kaymbree. I love that she loves her mommy so much. She smiles and gets excited when she sees me. She will start to flap her arms and legs in excitement and it warms my heart. She also loves her daddy so much and her sister. But I think she loves me most! ha ha cause I have what she wants......food!

So most of you know that Kaymbree has the most out of control hair I have ever seen. She has the most beautiful curls. She gets these curls from her daddy. But man her hair is everywhere. I am always excited to see what I will get when I go and get her from her crib after sleeping. Cause she moves so much when she sleeps and sweats. So that makes more crazy hair and curls. Also, she doesn't love to keep her hair in when I do it. I do her hair at least 3-4 times a day because she pulls it out. So I was looking through some pictures to see if I could show you what I mean when I tell you her hair is out of control.

This picture above is my favorite. I have no idea what the black mark was on her face! I could never figure it out. Below is what Kaymbree does for comfort. She doesn't suck her thumb, she picks her lips. She does it to sooth herself and she will sometimes pick it so much it will bleed. So we always have chapstick for her and are trying to get her to stop. She doesn't do it all day, pretty much when she is watching tv, riding in the car, or going to bed. Plus her hair is kickin!

So Saturday morning we were dealing with the baby when I went to go find Kaymbree because she was quiet for a while I knew she was up to no good. She found a fun size Butterfinger Dan had on his night stand and already had half eaten. It was only 7:30 in the morning. So I just sat her in her high chair and let her finish it off. Probably the best morning of her life she was so excited. Breakfast of champions is what I feed my kids in the morning! ha ha

Our Scare

So the Wednesday after Kennedy's blessing she was really sick. So I took her to the doctor and they started freaking out to get oxygen on her. Then they called the ambulance to take us to Primary Children's Hospital within the first 5 minutes of my appointment. I just started to cry and didn't understand how she all the sudden went from being a little stuffed up to being rushed by ambulance to the hospital. But it was a severe case of RSV and it can turn really really fast. She was really struggling and I could tell she was working so hard to breath. It was the scariest ride of my life and lots of things rushed through my head. I couldn't imagine my life without my baby and my heart was hurting so bad. I felt helpless and like everything was my fault. In the ambulance they had to bag her (force air into her lungs) and give her breathing treatments. We were at Primary's for four days. She had severe RSV and her "nars" or nasal passages are very thin so anything that gets in them makes her struggle to breath. It was very scary but the experience made me count my blessings. I am so thankful for my family and that I can be with them forever no matter what. I am so thankful for a worthy priesthood holder of a husband who had given her a baby blessing a few days earlier and was able to give her a blessing at the hospital. I am thankful for fasting and prayers of family and friends. I am most of all thankful for Heavenly Father's comfort, answering our prayers, and healing baby Kennedy. She is so special to us and our family has grown so much closer to each other and the gospel through this experience. I wouldn't wish this experience on my worst enemy. But I am thankful for the trials that we are put through and how we can learn and grow through them. Kennedy is almost fully recovered. We have been home for a little over a week now and she is still on oxygen while she sleeps. We are going to the doctor this week to see if she can be taken off of the oxygen. We are so blessed to have had wonderful support from our family and friends during this time. We are so thankful to everyone for helping, fasting, and praying for our little girl!

Blessing Day!

Dan gave a beautiful blessing for baby Kennedy. It was a very special day. Thank you to our family for coming and supporting us. We love you all so much! I am so thankful for the gospel in my life and and for the priesthood.

Kennedy's Newborn Pictures

I thought our pictures turned out cute! Kennedy is so beautiful! She is already getting so big compared to when these were taken. She was 3 weeks old for these pictures and now she is almost 2 months! Love my beautiful family, so I have to show them off!

Best Christmas

So this year has been so crazy for our family! But when Christmas got here it seemed like everything was perfect. First of all our best Christmas present was our beautiful little baby Kennedy! She is such a sweetheart and such a blessing to our family. Our family was finally back together, since I had the baby in Idaho and Dan has been working in Utah we really haven't been living together. Crazy....I know, so Christmas was a blast being together again. Kaymbree was a lot of fun this year. Even though she didn't understand Santa or why she was getting presents. She had great reactions! It was a lot of fun because it was our first Christmas as our little family at our little place.
I am so thankful for this time of year to reflect on Christ and his life. I am so blessed to have the gospel in my life. I truly would be lost without it. I am so thankful to have my family for eternity and a worthy priesthood holder as my husband. I am very blessed to be a mom. I am so thankful Heavenly Father has blessed me with the ability to have children and entrusting me to take care of his children. Just wanted to share a small part of my testimony, this season just brings so much joy! I hope you all had a great Christmas and have a wonderful New Year!!

Kennedy J. is here!

Kennedy J. Henry arrived November 29th, 2010 at 1:41pm. I got induced and everything went pretty well except for the fact the Epidural didn't work!!! OUCH!!! Kennedy was born healthy and beautiful. She weighed 7lbs. 8oz and was 20.5 inches long. She is such a doll and we love her so much!! Kaymbree loves her so much and gets frustrated that she can't hug her to death. When we got home from the hospital Kaymbree got strep throat. So she has been mad that she can't hold or touch the baby. And I feel so bad for Kaymbree because she is so sick and her whole world is thrown for a loop. So it has been a little challenging bringing home the baby, but so worth it. I can't believe we have two little girls! We are so blessed! Here are the pictures of our adventure with baby Kennedy!

Fall Fun!
