A little more of the little Miss.

I pulled the camera out to get my daddy picture and we got just a couple extra I thought I would share.

Cousins

Geoff and Emmalee were in town for her sisters farewell ( have I mentioned they are moving back to Utah-- SO excited!!) and so we met over at moms to visit, since I just had Kinlee and Brad just came home from England. I of course being the air head I have become forgot I had a camera until Brad said moms if you have a camera you want to come see this. He was right!! Eric and Noah are so cute together, and frankly look a ton a like since they both have so much of Geoff in them.

Loving Kinlee

Like I said Berkelee and Eric are kind of obssesed. While I was trying to get pictures for my birth annoucement they had to have pictures of them with her. I am glad they are adjusting so well I was so nervous.

8 lbs 10.5 oz 19 1/2 inches

Miss McKinlee really wanted out if you ask me, she tried and tried many times. I think there were at least 3 nights where we were ready to go to the hospital (meaning my contraction had been 3 minutes apart for over an hour) but they always seemed to start calming down right as we were ready to leave (had a babysitter and our stuff) and being ridiculously scared of being sent home I just stayed home and cried about it. So I was scheduled to be induced and headed in at 7:30 am. Everything was easy I wont lie the nights I spent at home laboring were way more painful then any part of her birth except for the not pushing when I was ready while we waited for the Doctor, once he got there though 3 contractions and she was out. We love her to pieces. And think she is the perfect end to our little family. My kids think she was a present I swear, no major fits, Eric thinks she is his best friend. He learned to say baby and sister the day she came home and is always looking her and giving her kisses. Berkelee thinks she is her baby which is fine by me except when she trys to pick her up by herself and Andrew doesn't seem to mind either way, he wants to hold her and kiss her and then get back to his life. It's been perfect. She is a great baby. She doesn't sleep fabulously but what can you do when she is sleeping she rocks at it. She is a great eater, she was 9 lbs 8 oz last week when we went in because she has acid reflux that huge considering she is breast feed only (except those first couple days while you get ready for the game-big babies loose weight fast which make doctors nervous) One day I will sleep for 4 straight hours and everything will be right with the world. Until then, that's why my kids are so cute right! :)

Audrie's Party

While I was finishing being pregnant I didn't do much but my kids always look forward to Miss Audrie's party and since Brandon could help we packed up our new Camera (cause Brandon felt bad for me after my labor halt- I will explain when I post about Kinlee's birth) and went on over. They had a blast and I am way glad we went, and it made that day go by quickly while I waited for the next morning... induction day :)

Dear blogging world I struggle. I check everyones regularly but never seem to have time to type, or for that matter take pictures. I'm a rock star I'll tell you what :) Lets see since I last updated the world of my oh so fabulous life I have had nothing of real importance happen. I lead a very exciting life you see the life of the leader of the little people :) We are loving life and enjoying the summer. Andrew is getting ready to start first grade holy nuts huh!!! He will be at school all day, I wont lie for one second I am nervous! He played soccer with some neighborhood kids. So fun. There are tons of boys and like two girls his age in our neighborhood so if I ever get over myself he will hopefully have friends to play with (I hate being nervous to call people it's the lamest thing ever!) He jumps on our newly aquired trampoline daily, possibly hourly :) It seriously is so so nice, and is a master xbox player. We need to work on our reading, and writing again before school starts in a month so if anyone has fun ideas let me know. Oh and we invested in a pee alarm and he is doing awesome with his nights. He is a super fantastic kid. Berkelee is very three and we love it :) (do you believe me) She did amazing with school last year so we are going back to Miss Angie again this next year. She is all signed up for school and dance and cant wait for the summer to be over so she can't back into them (and so she can dress McKinlee- with her fabulous fashion sense who could blame her for wanting to share this gift) She is bossy and loves that Eric will still let her push him around. She sings everything which I think is fabulous, and Andrew hates so I have dejavu as he yells/tells her to stop sharing that fabulous talent. Eric is still pretty much perfect. Super mellow, go with the flow and developing the cutest personality ever. He has a new best friend named Barney, he is in love. He carries the DVD cases with him everywhere and stops dead in his tracks if he is on the tv, it's so funny. They are such a blast. I have actually acomplished quite a few projects and don't have loads of laundry waiting for me. It's been a fun summer, we've swam, camped and played I love it. Now we are just enjoying ourself and waiting for Miss McKinlee to arrive aside from packing bags for the hospital and figuring out what to do with little people if she picks the middle of the night for her debut we are pretty ready for. I think I am in for it. Eric is not going to be a fan and Andrew and Berkelee will be too big of a fan so hopefully she will survive but I am actually pretty excited to close our family with this cute little girl, and really ready to not be this hot anymore :) They did an ultrasound on the 9th (34 weeks) and she was already 5lbs 8oz so I am sure I am in for another big baby but I dream about a 7lbs baby and pretend it could happen, which it could if she comes at like 37 weeks (haha) cross your fingers for me k. I will try (as always) to be better at pictures, and posting, but thanks for being better than me it's so fun to see what everyone is up too.

I love Mothers day!!

We had a great one this year, of course I struggle and have no pictures (who would have ever thought I would become that person) but it was a blast. Andrew got me the coolest card that he recorded a message for me on and the super cute card and butterfly magnet he made at school for me. Berkelee made me a darling card at school too. (I love that they are old enough to make fun projects, they're my favorite) and then some beautiful flowers. It was to funny when I got up in the morning Berkelee goes is it Mothers day, to which I said yes, and she said oh good there are flowers for you in the car :) My darling kids are horrible secret keepers. I also got a new vacuum. I LOVE new vacuums cause they are amazing! Brandon informed it was even better because he put it together and used it, to which I have to agree that did make it even cooler :) It's red to which just makes it fun. After church we had a super fun BBQ with his family and my mom and Benny. I love hanging out with the fam. It was a great day, I love family days. Thanks to my cute kiddo's for letting me be their mom and to our moms for helping make us better people everyday.
