Long Time No Bloggy

Shut The Front Door!!!

I am soooo behind!!

This crazy lady, you see here in the picture, started school!

yep! I took this pic right before I walked into class for the first time...

Since then I have not entirely forgotten about my lil Blog... or my Birdies,

I was just adjusting to my new schedule

and lost a couple more strands of hair along the way ;)

We have been quite busy...

I've got pics to prove it!! 

Bare with me for jumping all over the place with my posts,

but that is how I roll

Beautiful Baptism Day

It's Great to be 8

 My Beautiful Girl, Kenley, was Baptized and Confirmed 

a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints

This took place on Saturday Morning,  December 1st, 2012

 Kenleys' beautiful white Baptism dress

 Here she is in her Baptism jumpsuit...

doesn't she look darling??

 Kenny wanted to take a picture of me and her...

a little blurry but still cute

 Kenley was Baptized by her Cousin Coleman...

He did an amazing job, and couldn't be more proud

He is my oldest sister's Son, and Kenley was "tickled pink"

that Coleman Baptized her

 Her other cousin, Dallin, confirmed Kenley a member of the church

She was so Ecstatic to have her two oldest boy cousin's from each side of 

the family Baptize and Confirm her on her special day

She was all smiles

and beamed of sweet light

 One of her best friends (and future husband;)) Evan, came and hugged

Kenley after all that was done...

Is she Blushing??

 Kenley's Great Grandma Thompson was able to attend her Baptism 

we are greatful she is still with us to do so...

There were so many that came to support Kenley on her special day...

I don't know why I don't have more pictures??

Afterwards, we went back to my Mom's house for refreshments...

Thanks to all those who came this day!!

It "forever" will be in Kenley's Heart

Families can be Together Forever

I am so thankful for that...

Kenley, 

I am so proud of your decision to be baptized and confirmed a member

of the church.  You are such a joy to me.

Always singing, and dancing, and drawing...

your little spirit lights up our world...

I love you Kenny Doll

Love, 

Mom

Officially 9

 Kelly's Son, Kelson, is officially 9 years old!!

This was him at 2 weeks old

his cousin Mason loved holding this little squirt
I did too :) He was so teenie tiny and made the cutest monkey noises

 After school, we went to Grandma's house to open some more 

Birthday presents...

He was Ecstatic!!  I don't know if you can tell??

 Then we hopped in the car, ran and got pizza,

and headed to the skate park to meet up with some friends

 it had been raining all day... but that didn't stop these Die Hards

 These kiddos pulled some amazing and breathtaking

stunts and tricks!!

I kept thinking... tonight is not such a great night to go to the E.R.

but we had a lot of fun, with no injuries!!

 Even Mom's, my Bestie, tried some stunts!!! ;)

You go girl!!!

 Most of my pictures ended up like this... Blurry...

Faster than lightning I tell ya!!

 Here he is...

Birthday Boy!!!

Happy as a Lark

 Die Hards!!!

Winter won't stop them from playing outside

 Dare Devil Brady...

we couldn't believe the things he was pulling off on his 

Bad Big Wheel

 We ended the night with Jr. Jazz practice...

we shared doughnuts with the team...

and went home to some Birthday Pie and a slice of Birthday Cake

Make a Wish Monkey Boy :)

Kelson... I love you so much...

you are my Monkey Boy

you bring me great joy and tons of giggles

(and make me want to pull all my hair out at times)

Thank you for being my middle son...

Love you to the Moon and Back

Happy Birthday!!!

It's Divine to be Nine

 In April of 2003 

I learned I was expecting for the 2nd time...

We were so excited to know that we were having our 2nd son!

"Kelly's Son" was born on December 5th, 2003

He came pretty quick, so quick, there wasn't much time for an epidural

or getting proper medications...

He wanted to make his debut to the world

Kelson was born at 7:11 PM

at the LDS Hospital

He weighed in at 6 lbs 13 oz and was 18 inches long

making him my smallest baby... 

He was so tiny compared to his older beefy brother's birth ;)

I didn't get to see Kelson right away, they had to rush him out of the room and down the hall to suction his lungs right away.  He was born with Meconium, and was not breathing...

He actually was the color of Dark Blue, purple, almost Black 

They kept in him in an oxygen incubator to bring his vitals back...

But he bounced right back and was the cutest newborn ever!!

The nurses all swooned over him and his sweet little chipmunk, monkey sounds.

I didn't have time to find his newborn pictures, 

but that is my mission today!!

I will post them as soon as I get to them

Happy Happy Birthday Kelson!!!

Thank you for making me a Mother for the 2nd time

I love you to the Moon and Back

 Waking up to proper Birthday decorations...

Streamers and Balloons

 After a McDonald's breakfast, at his request, we opened a few presents

 This boy is a total Halo action figure addict!!

I think he may have every action figure out there??

(and I don't think he has ever actually played the videogame??)

 Super Happy for his Super Halo world with 12 Halo Guys!!

Sister was such a sweetie... she handed him all his presents, 

and hugged him after each gift he opened...

We like Birthday's in our house :)

 Ready for school in a new Birthday outfit, 

and an official "Birthday Boy" pin

 It's Divine to be Nine

I no longer have two 8 year olds

Happy Birthday Kelson!!!!
