It has been a while!!

It has been an eventful few months, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Birthday's, and Erin's Birth.

Erin decided she wanted to come a little early, which was fine with Mom. March 15 2005 at 2:25pm she made her apperance weighing in at 7lb 6oz and 20" long. She gave us a little scare when her oxygen levels droped and she spent the night in the NIC unit. But by the next morning things had stablized and she was moved back to the Nursery and with Mom. Kendrick is very excited he had a big grin on his face when he finally got to see his baby sister. Everyone is adjusting at home, Kendrick is a big help. Here are some photo's of the last few months. Until next time.

Update

Update on our Family!

The end of July we found out that we are expecting! All are doing well now. It was a rough go there for awhile, Mom was really sick, she finally got on home IV therapy which made all the difference and we are now on top of everything. She finished the IV the end of October and we have had one little scare with early contractions but that has stopped. We found out that ITS A GIRL her name will be Erin Mae.

Kendrick and Dad have been spending lots of time together and enjoying every minute. Kendrick is Daddy's little bud. Here are some great pictures from time spent at the children's museum and in the mountains.

Kendrick is looking in the mouse hole and this is what he is seeing.

consentrating very hard

Singing at the musuem

Halloween was soooo much fun. Kendrick loved to carve pumpkin's and eating candy.

Finished product, a tree and a bat.

Our front Porch had an extra visitor.

Kendrick was a Race Car Driver, Dad pushed him around in his car as he went trick-or-treating. He had lots of Fun.

Camping

It's a record I am doing two blogs in one month.

We went up Payson Canyon this last weekend for Our anniversary and Kendrick's birthday. It was nice and cool and fun to get away for the weekend. We had a few visitors the horny lizzard and the beautiful deer. Kendrick had a blast, we gave him one of his birthday present a little early so he could have fun with it.

He Played with it all weekend, and is still playing with it He loves it when you pull him arround and then he gets to zoom down the hills. Tractors are one of his favorite things.

This is how it works.

He even give cousins rides!

As part of his birthday he wanted root beer floats, kind of fitting because one of the thing I craved just before he was born was root beer floats. Kendrick made the floats for us! He made more of a mess with the float than he did on his cake for his 1st birthday.

The lucky guy, he had two cakes one with Mom & Dad on his birthday and one with family the following day.

The other highlight of his birthday was the bike seat now he gets to go on rides with Mom and Dad. Kendrick like everything else everyone gave him, Thanks.

New Hair Cut

We have had adventure at our house the last little while, Kendrick is almost three and very independent. We love him very much but defiantly tries the patients some days.

But before that, Kendrick and Christie were able to go to Nephi to have a picnic with family, Doug had to work so he missed the fun. Grandma & Grandpa Garrett, Douglas, Karen and Kara, Nancy and Steve and Family, Dave and Diane along with David and Andrea's family and Jeremy and Becca's Family were all there we missed everyone else. The weather was nice and we had a ball.

Back to the trying our patintence..... Well Sunday Kendrick was playing with Daddy's electric razor, Dad puts the cover and he pretends to shave (just like Dad) well he found the trimer and decided to use it on his hair, need I say more...

Before

After,

He must of wanted to look more like his dad, a little less hair on top. At least it summer!

Spring

Well, I think it's srping? Oh yeah we live in Utah, spring can mean 80 one day 40 the next day and snow. Like this past week, it has been a cool spring nice for us in a way Dad got to spend all of March with us getting home before 7pm and Mom didn't have homeowners asking for irrigation designs (she had enough commercial takeoff's to do.) Dad had another Birthday and Easter came early this year We had a great BBQ with Family. Here are some picture.

It is Febuary and well we didn't move. The home owners got another offer and we had had, only three people look at our place so we let them take the other offer. It just wasn't ment to be and we are glad we are staying put.

Every one is doing great, just after Christmas we got a membership to Discover Gateway (what use to be the Children's museum) and Kendrick is loving it.

Saftey always first. (Thanks Grandpa Butcher)

Kendrick is becoming quite the independent almost three year old. He dresses himself, though he doesn't get things on right all the time. He is learning that the buttons on his pants go in front.

He is putting himself to bed now kind of like is Dad! Drop where you are!

Well enjoy tell next time Love you all.

Merry Christmas!

It's been awhile. We have been very busy getting our condo ready to sell. We have place an offer on a home in Layton, so if everything goes as planed we will be moving the end of January. Kendrick enjoyed Halloween this year, he thought it was great to knock on pepoles door, he was a cute bear thanks to Aunt Amy.

Thanksgiving was spent at my Mom's home and was very enjoyable. We decorated the Christmas Tree Thaksgiving evening Kendrick was in to it all. His favorite thing right now is playing out in the snow, just like his dad! We went and saw the lights at Hogle Zoo he loved it until his finger got too cold.

Well we are going to go out an play, hope you all have a wonderful Christmas. We all have much to be thankful for.
