Play time Mom is off work!

It has been a busy three months!

Mom and Dad getting use to taking care of two children, one big brother getting use to sharing his time with little sister. We have done quite a few things together as a family with mom being off work and Doug off on Tuesdays, it has been fun.

We went to the park, Kendrick rode his tractor all the way down and most of the way home, before dad had to pull him up the last little bit.

We went to the Living Planet Aquarium. Kendrick had ball on the boat the have set up to teach about the Great Salt Lake. His favorite part is when the boat backed away from the dock. He went back and forth between the stingray pool and the boat. Erin slept through most of it. Mom and Dad just enjoyed benign together and doing things.

ZOO FUN!

Kendrick loved watching the elephants and seeing all the other animals. It was nice for Mom and Dad we enjoyed watching Kendrick see the animals and his reaction to them. Again Erin slept through most of it, we did go on the train and that was fun. Kendrick love playing hid and go seek with Dad in the bat cave. It was a very fun day.

Kite flying at Stansbury Island.

Dad finally got to fly his birthday kite. He got the kite to stay up for about 45 min. with two or three saves until it finally took a nose dive and he couldn't pull it out. We came home and made ice cream with blueberries and watched a movie.

We Blessed Erin on May 24, 2009 it was a very nice day. We had Grandpa's and Grandma's and enjoyed a trifle bar. With mom being creative and having a fruit garden for a center piece.

Grandpa's and Grandma's

Four Generations Erin, Great Grandma Garrett, Grandma Butcher, and Mom.

We will continue to have fun as our little family spends time together.

Until next time...

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.

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.
