Kaydence loves her new cousin and was giving him kisses. he is so handsome and adoreable, and i am so proud of my sister for being such a trooper and poppin out another kid. i love her and hope she knows what a great mom she is. CONGRATULATIONS.

Stateline Ride

some co-workers and friends of my dads did an off road ride to stateline and we met them there to say hi and hang out, John and my dad got to ride in the buggy (bottom picture) and john said it had ridiculous power which to me translated to it was scary.

Back in Vegas

So our little adventure to Arkansas did not work out like we planned so we are back in vegas and getting things together the best we can. We are blessed to have the family that we do and that we are always taken care of especially in these times of trial and error. we appreciate them and all that they do for us. i am glad to be back close to my family in california and johns family right here in vegas. i will keep you updated as we learn more. i did find out that according to all my dates i am due on april 30th which is my dads birthday so that will be a cool present. hopefully i will get and ultrasound soon to make sure of those dates and i will update about that also.

Pierced Ears

We got the ears pierced and she did not even cry. she cried when they cleaned them up afterwards. so we let her have a sucker and she loved that.

2 years Today

So today is our 2nd anniversary and we have been through so much but i would not change anything cause we are stronger and more in love than we ever have been. i am so grateful for you john and all the things that you do and sacrifice for our family. we were meant to be together cause you bring out the best in me and i know what an amazing terrific man that you are and i hope i bring that out in you. I am so happy to carry your children and nurture this family and i will always be there for you. I love you with all of my heart and i cant wait for the next 80 years of our lives.

Guess What? SURPRISE

Well I have been feeling a little under the weather and i thought maybe i was getting the flu or something and then the burning heart burn kicked in and i just knew that i was a different kind of under the weather. i took the test and i am pregnant, John and i are so excited. It was a huge surprise and not expected at all but we roll with the punches. I know it comes in a time of crazyness with adjusting to a new state, and our family moving away. But any child who is brought into a family with love will be richer beyond there own dreams. we will do whatever we need to do to be O.K. and i know we will be. i will miss being close to family especially in this exciting time but we will get through it and we cant wait.

Celebration

So on Sunday we celebrated kaydences birthday with mememGranny, koli,dani, and Jesse. kaydence got lots of fun toys and most of the pictures turned out blurry so sorry but you get the general idea. i love the little jeans she is wearing and we got her little etnies for her b-day and they make her look so grown up.

John turns 24!!

John and kaydence have very close birthdays and it is a lot of fun to celebrate these events together. whenever i ask john what he wants for his birthday he says he already had everything and kaydence was the best gift of all. i am so grateful for my husband and i want him to know how much i love him and appreciate how hard he works for us to have a good life. we were able to go out to dinner on his birthday and he chose tgi Fridays and it was really good and a lot of fun. thanks meme and the girls for watching kaydence. John I love you with all my heart and Happy birthday to my Man and a happy new year to celebrate being 24 and no matter what i will always be older and wiser than you.

My baby is 1!!!!!

kaydence had a birthday yesterday and she is 1 i cant believe it and i am so glad that we made it through the 1st year with great expectations.

Here she is snuggling with john on his birthday which was the 21st of august and being that she is 1 she never snuggles anymore so this is so sweet.

Buying cakes is getting expensive so i got creative and this is the result. one is for her to eat and one is for the rest of us.

I love her smiles and she is such a happy baby. she also has 8 teeth now so the smile is getting full.

Songs of the times!

So i was looking at everybodys blogs and nisa had a song on hers from the day she was born so here are some of our hits. these are the #1 songs on that day of that year.


Sherrill B-day September 17,1981- Endless love by Diana ross and lionel Richie
John b-day August 21,1984- Ghostbusters by Ray parker Jr.
Kaydence b-day August 23, 2007- Beautiful girls by sean kinston

Kaydence dancing has evolved

kaydence loves to dance when she hears music its on. I love how her dance has evolved.

Pink Toes

Kaydence is Climbing the stairs now. Roni thought it would be cute to paint her toe nails and this is the result.

Drive to Arkansas

The car is packed and we are ready to go if only we new what was ahead. 30 hours in the car humidity and the same songs on the radio over and over.

Laughlin

she is ready to go. ROAD TRIP

Arizona Pretty Flat

She looks like a chipmunk when she eats her graham crackers and i love this pic

In albequerqe we stopped for dinner and all there buildings have flat roofs I have never seen that before.

we let her out of her chair every stop we made and she loved to play in the car.

Arizona and texas pretty much looked like this the whole way very flat.

this was almost to the border of texas and oklahoma, biggest cross i have ever seen

30hours in the car does this to a kid. she tried escaping the seat belt.

i havent paid 3.69 a gallon for like 4 months i cant even remember under 4.00

its hard to see but the mural on the building was pretty cool

This one is for brent sorry its not a better picture it is so hard taking pictures when john is driving 75 mph. Oklahoma city

I have never seen so much green in my whole life it is beautiful.

Visit to California Before the Big Move

John and i went to California to say our goodbyes before the big journey to Arkansas and we celebrated kaydences 1st b-day a little early and my parents 28th wedding anniversary, and we took a family portrait. thank you to my family for always spoiling us and taking care of us when we need it. While we were there we also got to celebrate Aunt lori and uncle billies retirement and we got to see the entire family. it was a good way to go out seeing everybody.

The Jurassic park sized bugs

so in the previous post i spoke of bugs and here is the proof. this is the monster that john was afraid of and the top picture is what is left of the broom. we sacrificed the actual broom part to the trees cause that is where it flew while john was swinging it.
