The good times

Hey sorry for not posting on a regular basis. Im not good at this, i never know what to say. But here it goes....oh and this is all backwords so you might want to start from the bottom of this post.


Miss Kaydence had to go into surgery on Wednesday. As you can see in the pic above she has a small bandage on her ear. She was born with a sinus track on her left ear lobe and over time is collected dirt and oil which then caused a cyst. She she had the track and cyst removed. That was one of the hardest things to do, right next to the time I was visiting leah. lol But we wont get into that story. Lets just say we were in the ER from like 1am to 5am with a 104.5 temp. But you can see my baby girl is strong and pulled through that and the surgery just fine.

She was actually really nasty right after she woke up. They gave her these 2oz bottles and she downed 2 within 5min. And got mad and threw them, then she started smacking me. Oh that was so hard, i knew she had no idea what she was doing i just felt helpless.

Now she has her own bottle and is much happier.


What a trooper!!!!


My angel on New Years Eve. We had a good time at my sisters house, erika and enoch came over and after we put the kids to bed mom, ash, erika, and me played the game outburst. Heads up to those that ever play with me and erika, i'd recommend going on the other team unless your willing to lose. haha It was fun having erika there, it reminded me of our fun times before idaho and then when we were in idaho. lol


After christmas we all got the flu, this is our second round of it within 2 weeks. It hit Kay really hard.



Kay showing off her new hoody uncle jordy got her.

Jordon making his moves on Ashleys husband Marcos.

My mom made these pants and they turned out really cute, a little big but cute. We like matching them for christmas morning pics.

Pushing around her new baby doll in her new stroller. Sporting the santa hat!!!!

Showing unlce josh her new baby.

She loves this baby, she will kiss it and hug it so tight. She even makes that squeeze noise when she hugs it. So CUTE!!!
Its the first thing she went to when she walked in the room. She was so excited, she stopped at the door and made the biggest SIGH ever.

Christmas morning!!!


Ok so i gave Kay the bowl of cookies to put on her table. She decided that it was a good idea to give them all a good lick. She also dropped them all over the floor. So i knew not to eat them. But in the morning i noticed the cookies were gone. haha yup the uncles ate them. I told them about it which made them a little sick. But come on how funny is that, i couldnt resist not telling them about it.

Update on the past month.

OK so i slacked off a little bit and didn't post a blog in like a month. I'm actually not sure if i post any Halloween pics so here are a bunch of random pics. I do have to mention it...Kay said "SANTA" the other day and if he comes on TV she will say his name. Isn't that great!!! I'm so excited, she comes out with the most random words ever. She is growing up so fast, at times i wish i could pause it and make the memories last forever

















My little mouse/ rat baby!!!

















Half the time i miss Sunday school and relief society cause Kay is really fussy(cause its her nap time), so I try to get her to sleep and she fights it as much as possible. Luckily i get some extra help by my mom or Cindy. She wont go to anyone else. :( Within a few seconds of Cindy holding her she was out. Then the bell rang and woke her right up. haha their is no winning.


My mom has a huge collection of snowmen. And we let Kaydence play with the stuffed ones. She loves these guys or any stuff animal.

















So I took a few days off last week cause i was sick with the flu and so I took some time and played around with Kay's hair.





























I wanted to do something special to Kay's hair for the Sunday before Christmas. so i put foam curlers in her hair. haha and the best part is she let me do it with not to much fussiness. But when i took them out the next morning the curls were way to tight and she looks like she had a afro. So She sat on my lap and i straighten it and it looked so cute.



















Kays Christmas dress.





















After church we were just relaxing and i guess kay found a pencil and paper and started drawing on it. The crazy thing about it is I never really should her how to do it. She just did it all on her own. She amazes me everyday with the new things she does. I love waking up and watching to see what she will do.

SICK


So getting sick is like a chain reaction for my family. First it starts out with a cough then a runny nose and before you know it one by one we get sick. I hate being sick, all i want to do is stay in bed and sleep but some point in my life i decided to grow up and now i cant do that kind of stuff anymore. I feel so bad for little miss kaydence she has a horrible runny nose....its like a water faucet that never stops dripping. haha sorry but i couldnt describe it any other way. I feel helpless towards her...i wish their was more i could do for her to make her feel better. The worse part is she is teething too so on top of the runny nose junk everywhere she is covered in slubber. Any ideas on how to make her feel better besides drugging her up with meds....she is the worst kid to give that stuff to.

Sad the weekend had to end....

So this past weekend I had a good friend of mine from Utah come in for a visit. He came in Thursday night and stayed till Monday night. Eddie is his name and he live in orem going to school and working. He is originally from Spain. He is the biggest sweetheart i have ever met in my life. When he came in Thursday we went out and grabbed a late dinner at subway. We just sat and talked, i really enjoyed his company. Then Friday we headed down to Philly to go return stuff and do a little shopping. Which turned out to be a very long and exhausting day. Over 2 hours in a store and only walking out with a nice tie. haha Eddie cracks me up. So Saturday comes around and we all spent most of the day sleeping. The lack of sleep was starting to catch up to us. But then we finally got ready and Eddie being the sweet guy he is took my mom and me and Kay out to dinner. Only to bump into the The vielstichs family and Phillips family. We had some good laughs over dinner. Then he took just me out to the movies to see Max Payne...which was a pretty good movie. The best part of all the weekend was church. You should have seen all the looks and stares we were getting at church. I could only imagine what people were thinking. OHHHHH....Gabbi brought a boy to church. haha I had a lady that is kind of new make a comment about him but called him my husband. I about fell through the floor laughing. I also had to make it clear to some that he is just a friend in for a visit. I'm sure other rumors have started and i will have more questions next week. Continuing on my sister made us a huge pot roast dinner and we had some yummy chocolate cake for dinner. You will not believe how much this kid can eat, i kid you not he had 3 servings and i think 2 slices of cake. Where does he put it all, i think he said he has 5 % body fat on him. That made me sick to think about. haha

Monday....the saddest day of my week. For some reason he thought he wasn't leaving Newark til 7 so we would leave here at 4. He checked his info just one last time and saw it was 5:50 not 7. So at that time we had a little over and hour left to hang out. We went and took some pics, the only pics of the weekend and on my camera i only have 1 good one. Sad....Well now that he is half way home i have to say I'm starting to miss his company already. I cant get over how sweet of a guy he is and whoever ends up marrying him will be one lucky girl.
And the reason for this blog was for those that were wondering who that guy was with me on Sunday. haha And no we are not dating.

A visit to The Pumpkin Patch!!!
















We have a family tradition that my parents started back when I was a baby. My mom and dad would take us kids to the pumpkin patch along the Delaware River. It is such a small but a really cute place. So as we are getting older, we decided to keep this tradition going with the grandbabies. Ashley has been taking her boys every year and so when Little Miss Kaydence came around we made our stop too. The picture on the left was her last year just a few weeks old and the one on the right is her this years. If you couldnt tell. lol What a huge difference, I cant believe it.

See that little tude she is getting......the hand going on the hip and lips out. I think she was getting sick of all the pics. haha

















This year the kids weren't really up to taking pictures. They all seemed to have a little attitude. They would pose and when you call them to look at the camera they would ignore you. The 2 oldest boys did it on purpose. Its a new thing Nathan just recently started. It was just an overall bad day for them. We are lucky we got a few good pics. I do have to say they had fun running around and looking at all the pumpkins. The boys loved playing in the leaves. I guess as long as they had fun then thats all that really matters.
This one of Jayden would have been really good if the shadows of the tree werent all over his face. That actually ruined alot of our pictures.





















Gotta love Alex and his cute little smile!!!
















Here is Ashley and her boys.......I think it is a pretty good picture of them all. They are all looking at the same time, and let me tell you what that was not easy to get a shot like that.


We had a little leaf fight.....

















HAHA I dont know what alex was doing but I thought this was so cute of him. He's like karate chopping the pumpkin.



















Nathan playing in the leaves and Jayden doing a dance or something. haha Theses kids crack me up!!!



























My all time favorite picture of Kaydence and Me!



























Had to take some sister pictures, I think they came out pretty good. Except for the fact that I look a tad bit orange. How sad....I kinda blend in with the pumpkins. haha




The last picture of our trip to The Pumpkin Patch....I love this picture of her, whenever I look at this picture all I see is her Bright Blue Eyes. I never would have thought I would get a blue eyed baby.

The Party!!!

Since Kaydence's birthday was on a thursday we decided to have her big party on saturday. I went with an usual idea for a first birthday....I didnt want her party to be like everyone elses with all pink and purple stuff. And so I thought well since her birthday is in October I could go with a fall theme. I think it turned out pretty cute and wish i got more pictures but i didnt have time and if im not taking the pictures no one does.

Here is the cake I got her....the red looks really bright but it really wasnt. It turned out to be nice and she got her little one which you will see how much fun she had with that.
































HMMMM.....is that for me???? Looks so Y-U-M-M-Y!!!!
She really did have fun with her cake. Nathan did too in fact he helped her eat it and was feeding her some of the icing. It was cute!















The cake and icing got everywhere. Even on me, i had to change.

Some family and close friends that came over to wish Kaydence a Happy 1st birthday.

Kelsie, Ashley and my Nanny. Mama Niko
Big D and Kaydence....Caity and Cindy enjoying the homemade soups my mom made for today.
