Long Overdue Pictures

My loving brother reminded me tonight that its been awhile since I posted, and since I did promise pictures, I thought I'd go ahead and catch up on that now. Hope you all enjoy them! :)

These are all from our Memorial Day weekend at Joe and Karen's.


All the kids.



Kinda makes you nervous wondering what she's thinking here, doesn't it?




Ryan playing on a seal


"Mom! Put down that camera and get me off of here!"


"Can we just go home now?"



Kenzie and mom dancing with Chuck E. Cheese


Kenzie and Ryan playing Air Hockey. Kenzie won. I think.

Finally!

Yeah, yeah I know its been forever since I've updated. I'm very sorry. I am so bad at just sitting down and getting these done. I'll try to do better in the future.

We're all doing well out here in Utah. Kenzie is out of school for the summer, and that makes her amazingly happy. She doesnt have a whole lot of plans for this summer, mainly a lot of swimming and playing outside. She's wanting to go to bible camp again this summer, so I'm sure we'll enroll her in that.


Drew is doing good. Growing like a weed. At his last checkup he weighed 19 lbs, 3 oz and was 28 3/4 inches long. He's getting so big! He's starting to crawl now, which keeps me hopping every minute of the day. It's time to babyproof! He's starting to make alot more sounds, too. He'll sit on the floor and go "momomomomomomomom". It's so cute!


There really arent any big updates. Everything is pretty much the same day to day around here. The kids and I are in Phoenix this weekend with mom. We've had a really nice visit so far. Saturday we took the kids to the park where they had a blast playing and riding the train and looking at the ducks. We were supposed to have a picnic, but it just got to be too cold, so we brought the kids home and ate here. After we all napped and rested, we took the kids to Chuck E Cheese's for supper. Kenzie and Ryan were so excited! Kenzie's been asking to go there for quite some time now, so this was a huge surprise for her. All four kids had a great time, and it was an excellant way for them to burn off some energy.


Today Joe and Sue are coming over for a cookout--should be here soon, actually. Joe and Karen took Ryan and Kenzito to church, and they should be home around three. It's going to be a nice relaxing night. I'm looking forward to it :) Tomorrow we'll be leaving Phoenix by noon, and heading home. It's nice to have a vacation, but its nice, too, to go home again.


Kenzie was a clown in her Kindergarten Circus.

Hello everyone! I dont have any big news to share, but I do have some pictures I thought you'd enjoy seeing. First, the pictures.

This was taken yesterday, at Kenzie's dance recital. She danced very well; she even brought tears to my eyes! We were all very proud of her!

Drew, at 2 1/2 months. Joe and Karen, do you recognize the outfit? It's the one you bought him! :)


Both kids with Santa.


Another one of Drew, enjoying his swing.


Kenzie and Ryan playing in the leaves.


Joe, Karen, and Ryan before they left to go on the ATVs.

and last but not least...


The proud PawPaw and Grandma of all these adorable kids!

I'll update again soon! Love--Beth

First Smiles

Good Morning, all!

Yesterday mom was able to catch Drew smiling and took some pictures. I thought I'd share them with you all. Enjoy, and I hope you are all having a good day!


Love, Beth

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry it's been so long since my last post, but things around here have been a little crazy, as I'm sure you can imagine. I'll keep this short, as I have a ton of pictures to post for you, but here is a quick update on our lives.

Kenzie is doing well in Kindergarten. She loves going to school every day, and her teacher has nothing but good things to say about her. She's getting really good at writing her letters and her name, and she's even starting to learn a little math (2+2=4 and so on)! Last week she went on her first field trip to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, and she had a blast!


Drew is doing well, too. This past Thursday marked his 6 week birthday. He's getting so big! He loves to be held by his big Sissy, and loves to hear her sing and read to him. We've finally gotten his sleep schedule to level out a bit, at least to where he is sleeping anywhere from 3-5 hours per night before his first feeding. This has made everyone a little happier, as we are all getting a little more sleep at night! On Nov. 13, his 2 month bithday, he is scheduled for his first shots.


There isnt much of an update for Jim and I. Everything is pretty much the same as it was last time I posted. We're quickly learning how to juggle two kids instead of just one, something that I struggled with the first few weeks of Drew's life. It was somewhat of an easier adjustment for Jim, for some reason. I had my 6 week check-up yesterday, and I am pleased to announce that I am 10 lbs lighter now than before I got pregnant. I'm hoping to keep that trend going.


I wont keep you waiting any longer. Here are the pictures.


Wednesday was Crazy Hair Day at school. Kenzie loved making her hair look like this!








These were taken at Kenzie's birthday party, on 10.13.07





The kids with their PawPaw



This was taken yesterday.




That's all of the pictures for now. I'm sure to have more soon! Hope you all are doing well.

Love--
Beth.

New Beginnings

Hello everyone!


Kenzie had her first day of Kindergarten on Wednesday, and I thought I'd share some pictures from that day with you all.


So far, she loves Kindergarten. She starts asking when she can go to school around 7 am, and her class doesnt even begin until noon! She's only been to school two days so far, but her teacher says she's doing very well.

Enjoy the pictures!


P.S. Two weeks from yesterday (8-30-07) I'll be in the hospital having a baby!!! :)

Birth Day

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post to let you all know that we went to the doctor yesterday, and we now know when Baby Boy will make his appearance.


We go in for a c-section on....




*drumroll*








September 13, 2007!


So, in less than 5 weeks, our new baby will be here! :)
