Kenna's First Day of School

Kenna's first day went great...she loves school!

Look Leisy! I can make a list!

Henderson Hospital

Well our house has been the place to be if you haven't been feeling well this week...I have had a flu bug all week, Brax has had the same thing all week, we thought Kenna was coming down with something last night but she seems to be feeling better this morning. And then, Ryan drops Brax of last night after soccer practice, he had gotten kicked in the knee and was hobbleing around! Sheesh! Lets hope next week is better.

Goodbye Summer...Hello Fall

It's hard to believe summer is almost over and fall is just around the corner! Kenna starts school next Monday and Labor Day is only a week and a half out...sheesh...where does time go?

We had a busy weekend...my Company Summer Party was Friday night up at the Park City Mountain Resort. It was beautiful up there. We were spoiled this year...our company sprung for unlimited ride passes on all of the attractions. The alpine slide, alpine coaster, rock climbing, mini golf, zip cord...the kids did it all.
Brax was able to come with us this year and I think he had a "sweet time" (in his words!) Kenna rode the zip line all by herself...Brax didn't weight enough to go. You had to be at least 75 lbs. The ride operator told him to keep eating his cookies and he could try again next year.

Paige seems to be on a sleep rebellion...she thinks she doesn't need much. She is either up until midnight or if she goes to bed a little earlier, she is up at 2:00 a.m. Let's hope this little phase passes soon!

Dance...Dance...Dance...

Kenna's first night at dance went great! She said she did exceptionally well in ballet class and was complimented a couple of times by her teacher.

She is very excited about this year and can't wait to get started learning their Halloween routines.

As for Paige...her repitua of food is getting rather large...last night she shared my salad with me...she loved the watermelon, grapes and chicken of course...but she also like the edamame beans and pickled beets!

What happens in the backyard...stays in the backyard!

So we have started this thing with letting Paige take her bath out in the backyard in her inflatable rubber ducky tub...our neighbors probably think we are running a nudist camp! scary thought...She absolutely loves it and she doesn't care how freezing cold she gets!

She loves to bail the water out of her tub one cup at a time and come over to the patio and pour it out on one of us.

Well I finally had to break down and put the crib tent up on Paige's bed...and aahhh...sleep...it feels good. She still wakes up fussing sometimes, but usually puts herself right back to sleep.

McKenna starts dance again tonight...her grueling schedule of Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and Saturdays 11:30 to 2:45. At least they are letting us sleep in on Saturdays this year!

She also goes in this afternoon for her post-op check up on her wisdom teeth surgery. Her swelling is almost gone...she does have a little bruising, but not too bad.

Where the heck was the tooth fairy?

Kenna did well with her wisdom teeth removal yesterday...she was very nervous, but with the help of the nurses she was able to calm down and had no problems. She is a little swollen today, but that is to be expected. I'm so glad it is over...for her and I...I don't know who was the bigger wreck!

Paige decided that she had had enough of her crib again last night...did another front gainer right over the side...so needless to say she was in bed with me...and Kenna...try sleeping with 2 little bedhogs...you're right...no sleep for me!

We worked with Maisy's trainer this morning...he said that I need to "get tougher" with her...really show her who is boss...what a tough job! I thought I was doing ok...but apparently I am too much of a softy! Who knew parenting a little pooch would take so much effort!

To Blog or Not To Blog...

Hi everybody... Welcome to our new website...I decided to try out a blogging page. What's great about this site is that you (our friends and family) can comment on any of our posts, pictures and video! Get a little communication going you know?

All is well and very busy in our world...

Kenna is getting all 4 of her wisdom teeth pulled today! Poor little thing. I will have to try to sneak in a picture of her with her chipmunk cheeks!

Paige is a very busy little girl...investigating every little thing that she can! But...so adorable! I don't know what we would do without her! She has also decided to take up flying (like daddy like baby girl)...flying out of her crib that is! She solo'd again last night! The first time she Superbabied out of her crib, I found her asleep on her bedroom floor the next morning. Here is a picture of how I found her...cute as a bug!

Maisy is continuing with her training. We have her trainer coming to our house tomorrow to help us keep her focused when we take our walks! She is doing really well compared to the hyper little pooch she used to be... James (her trainer) says that she has a lot of decompressing to do...with all of the changes that have gone on in the last 17 months. Poor Maisy needs her own grief group!

Nana is such a trooper! She keeps our household running and takes awesome care of all of us! We hope that her semi monthly weekend vacations back home will keep her refreshed!
