Our Baby Is Here!

WE HAD A BABY BOY!!!!

 Baby Kase is HERE!  6lbs 3 oz.  18 3/4 inches long.  Born on Sept. 21st.  (36 weeks)

 We are doing well.. And Kase is a super good baby!  

I will post more pics as I get some time.  (yah right)

Harry Potter FHE

We went to Thanksgiving Point for their family night activity!  

The theme was all about HARRY POTTER!  

We did our FHE (Family Home Evening) there with the Schempp family too!  It was a lot of fun!

When you first got there, you got to see which "house" you belonged to.  Kaylee got Gryffindor, and then I drew one for Kyle just for fun, and it was "Ravenclaw".  He was so mad about that.  

He said, "If it were me doing it, I would have been in the house of Gryffindor for sure!" 

So, below... Kyle is trying to hide the Ravenclaw sign.  ha ha

I got a pic anyway!

 

At the first stop, you were able to make your own wands with the feather in it and all!  So here is Kaylee and Mara making their wands!

 

Kaylee and Konnor casting spells with their new wands!  Konnor didn't let go of that wand for days!

 

Kaylee and the Schempps casting spells on 

"He Who Must Not be Named".

 

Kaylee making Potions!

 

Kaylee and Mara are excelling in the Defense Against the Dark Arts.

 

Kaylee smelling the pretty flowers in the gardens.  

Not really Harry Potter related, but too cute to pass up.

 

Kaylee and I chillin on a bench while I was contracting, and taking a rest.  

BTW:  I love pics that don't show how prego I really am!  

This was at the end of my 7th month!  Nice camera angle Kyle!  

Thanks for that honey!!

 

There are a LOT of pics of Kaylee... because Konnor was riding 

in the stroller not really doing the crafts.  Sorry Konnor.

All In A Day's Work.... :)

 

We went for a little hike/walk up Box Canyon in Sanpete County.

It was fun, even for the prego girl (me), and the postpartum (Emily).

Kaylee wanted to climb up this rocky crevice into a cave.  So Grandpa Keith started the climb with her.  And since Konnor wants to do EVERYTHING his big sister does, it took him about 3 seconds to ask Dad to take him up there too!  So... thats just what they did.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  It was pretty high and the cave looked cool.  (I wouldn't know too much though... I stayed at the bottom like a good little prego girl!)
 

Grandpa Keith & Grandma Lynn with ALL 3 of their grandkids! 

 

When we got back to Grandpa's house, the fun didnt't stop there.  We had a watermelon party in the back yard.  Below:  Kaylee and Aunt Emily.  Aren't they cute?!

 

The fun just kept going, because Grandpa took the kids in the chicken coop!  Kaylee LOVES petting the chicken!  She got to hold a couple of them with Grandpas help.  She kept saying to the chicken,  "It's ok sweetie, I won't hurt you."  Too cute huh.... 

Below:  The proof is in the picture that she LOVED holding it!

 

The fun continues....

Then grandpa, let Kaylee and Konnor ride Shadow!

THAT is always a highlight for my children!  

The love of horses  continues one generation after another! 

Just look at those smiles!!

 

And to wrap up the fun-filled day:  We ate pizza and then Kaylee asked Aunt Emily if she could hold her cousin!  That was something she had been waiting and begging to do!!!!

Good times in Mt. Pleasant, Utah!  Thanks to some AWESOME family we have!  

Grandpa Keith, Grandma Lynn, Emily, Tyler, and Baby Dreydan--- WE LOVE YOU! 

Flower Girl

 

Kaylee was the flower girl for her aunt Kellie's wedding!

Kellie had this dress hand made for Kaylee.  And she looked like a fairytale princess in it!

She also FELT like a princess in it too!

Below:  Is my little handsome prince.  He likes to do a head-tilt for pics.  ha ha
 

Kellie and Kaylee (two beautiful girls who sure love each other!)

 

The theme of the wedding was "Honoring your Heritage".  Kyle and Konnor went dressed in Scandinavian clothes.  Kaylee got to be a European princess.  I wore something I could fit into... (8 mon prego)  That looked Lebanese. 

 

This pic below is my FAVORITE pic!  I just love my darling kids.  The way Konnor is looking back at Kaylee by the pond.  It just melts my heart!

Congrats Kellie and Joe!  It was a beautiful wedding! 

First Day of Kindergarten!

Kaylee on her first day of Kindergarten!  Aug. 25, 2010

The night before school we started a new tradition... A sack dinner!  It was a lot of fun.  Kaylee and Konnor liked it.  Then Kaylee recieved a blessing from Kyle, and that night she put her lunch pail by the door, and the "Magic School Bus" came and brought something for her to remember mom and dad by while she is at school. 

Below:  Konnor kept creepin in on the pics!

 

Kaylee is in line about to go into her class. 

Kaylee waving goodbye to mom and Konnor!

Kyle came to pick Kaylee up with us for her first day!  It was a family affair.

I can't believe how fast 5 years has gone by.  I sure love this little girl!!!!  And for the record, she assembled her own outfit for the first day! 

Back to School Night!

Kaylee got to meet her teacher!  Mrs. Peterson!  Kaylee was SO excited!  

 

She found her desk with her name on it!  She is posing as a "Thinker".

She is posing on the school stage!  "I am a Kindergartner this week!"

Konnor wanted to pose with Kaylee too!  He thought it was all very exciting!

Kindergarten Class Posted!

WE ARE ABOUT TO HAVE A KINDERGARTNER!

 Kaylee is going to KINDERGARTEN!!!!!  This week her class list was posted.  She got to find out the name of her teacher and the names of her classmates.  She even knows one of the boys in her class from church!  Kaylee said, "I am glad Jaxon is in my class.  He is always really nice to me at church!"  I thought to myself, "OH GOOD!  I nice boy!" 

Kaylee dancing and posing in front of the lists.  

Konnor was jumping around saying, "Kay-ee go schoo! Yeah!" 

Highland Splash Park

 

We went to the Highland Splash Park last week.  It was a fun place!  

We did a last minute mother's group in our ward.  

It was a ton of fun!  We had a picnic lunch and the kids played in the water! 

I love being a mom.  I am a little sad, because Kaylee is starting Kindergarten this week.  And we will no longer get to spend all-day-every-day together.  These 5 years have gone  REALLY fast!  We have a couple more fun things planned before the big day next week.  Trying to make the most of our last few days before reality sets in.
