Two beautiful girls

My new favorite picture! the other day Avy was about 3 weeks old and kensi was realizing that this baby was staying around! so she decided to make the most of it! I had just gotten avy to sleep and layed her down! and in comes kensi with two baby dolls and one was for avy so she looked at her on the couch and she didnt see that I was watching but she then layed the baby down by avy and slowly pushed it closer and closer! I thought it was the cuttest thing ever and I love these precious moments that make life worth while!
My cuttest family!

I decided to dress up my two girls and take some pictures for fathers day! Now I'm no where as good as my sister at taking pictures but the girls were in a good mood so that made it easier!

Two big girls! I have this picture with kensi and londyn and love is so I decided to try it again.

My beautiful Kensi at 2 1/2 years old!

her cheesy pose where she says cheese as she is smiling so the smile looks a little fake!

Avy now 6 weeks old is getting so big so fast! she is already almost 11 pounds! I'm not used to a chubby baby but I love it!

Of course you have to have the close up!

look a like

I decided to post pictures of how much my two girls look a like but it is hard because of there 3 lb difference and the fact that Avy has darker and a ton more hair!

Avy at probably 3 days old

And kensi at about 3month old ha ha in the same outfit!

Kensi the day she was born!

Avy the day she was born!

The famous weight picture I actually dont think they look a like in this one but in my head I thought they looked a lot a like!
so this is Avy and the same size scale!

Kensi at a much smaller weight!

new pictures

My baby is 4 weeks old and I cannot believe how fast time has already gone! we are going good and cherishing the nights that are more than 4 hours sleep!! Avy smiled for the first time yesterday and is already getting so big. I love having a chubby baby because kensi never was!!

My wonderful sister took these pictures the other day and I loved the way they turned out!!! She is getting so stinkin good at taking pictures and I'm grateful that she is willing to practice on my children.

look at the cute little nakedness!

I love the close up to see every detail!

new pictures

Well things are good around here just trying to get adjusted to having 2 kids, many of you are probably laughing at me that thinking 2 is hard but I'm getting there!! Avy has been a beautiful blessing and thus far has been a great baby, still completely mixed up with days and nights but other than that we are doing great! Kensi is getting adjusted she just ignores her alot but still worries about her! the other night she woke up crying and just wanted to see the baby before she could go back to bed. so I know that she loves her and is going to be a concerned, caring big sister! some of these pictures are in a very random order but just me goofin off with the camera! I'm not good at taking pictures but I would like to be so I'll work at it!


Way too big bow I know but I though it was cute!

Love this hat and even more the 99 cents that I paid for it!

of course we cant forget big sister and grandma was wonderful enough to bring a bunch of summer dresses and kensi was in heaven! thanks grandma and grandpa for being the first to come and fuss over kensi first! she loved the attention!

Sorry not the best picture, but it was so nice to have my parents here for the week, they go home tomorrow and they will be missed! it was so nice to always have someone to hold the baby and even more someone that would take her so I could back to bed!! yeah for sleep!

My favorite so far!

first picture at home and glad to be there!

Good bye pregnancy, this was my last preggo shot and although im so glad to be able to bend over again I kinda miss pregnancy, I know crazy but this pregnancy was so much easier than it was with kensi so I'm grateful to have had a nice pregnancy.

The very first meeting! she was not sure just kinda looked at her a little then was off doing other things!

We are so grateful and blessed to have this step of our life go good! We are happy and healthy and although we may be a little bit tired we are so grateful to have had the beautiful oppertunity to expand out family by one more!!

Home Sweet Home

First night home from the hospital and Mommy says she had a long night. Kensi is already getting a little jealous but is also showing Avy the ropes. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and nigh night.

Arrival of the new London

Aveley Taylor London came on May 11th 4:08. She weighs 8lbs 2ozs and is 20 inches long. Mom and Baby are doing well. Avy looks like her big sister. We are very excited to have her here with us.

new update

The sweet ladies in my ward suprised me with a diaper derby and told me it was just a girls night and Everyone knows that is enough to get me there so I was supprised. There are two other ladies that are also pregnant with me so we had to get the famous belly poses!! but we had a good time Thanks to Katie (sorry about the picture katie) who planned it I'm sure and Thanks to Brianne for also planning and letting us crash at your house.

Mark took this picture of my crazy girl who is in a sweeping phase! so she is always sweeping
.

Grandpa's peaches are best after she finished the peaches sure enough she grapped the jar off the counter and started drinking she told me over and over that they are so ewishious (delicious).

The famous shot!! And yes I know that I'm the biggest but I'm quite a bit further along then both of them!! So this is Jane at 30 weeks and Glenna at 34 weeks, two of my beautiful friends! Mann I look chubby I guess that is how you get at 38 and 1/2 weeks!!

We are getting excited and a little scared at the same time for this baby to come. I've been trying to spend more time with Kensi and explaining more so this will not come as such a shock but I'm sure it will!! We are so blessed to have the oppertunity to have another child and to have suck great work!! There seems to be more and more people loosing their jobs and having to walk away from their houses and my heart goes out to them!!! The lord has blessed us more than words can explain!

Easter time

We had a wonderful easter weekend! Mark work gives good friday off so we decided to go on a little get away. We only went to prescott which is an hour away but it was still nice to go to the hotel and swim and order room service!! it was wonderful! The first picture is kens and I with the same hair do mark likes my hair braided even though I feel like a little girl! but it is nice to keep it out of my face!

Us waking up after sleeping in for a long time it was nice.

Okay shield your eyes there is story behind this I wanted to go swimming for the baby's sake I think it feels cool when you are way pregnant. so I put on a one piece and sure enough soo much belly to go over and my chest a little exposed, so then I moved on to a tankini and we were laughing because it wouldnt stay down every time I pulled it over my belly it would slowly work back up. so I do own one bikini that I hardly ever wear and that was my last resort! Thank heavens no one was in the pool because I didn't even bring an extra shirt to put over it! so I took a picture and figured heck how often am I pregnant might as well have a big ol picture of myself!! so enjoy! and I bet you will notice my farmer tan before you notice my belly!!

Kensi and mark went to Aunt joys house to have an easter egg hunt and had so much fun we are so grateful to have a little family close! I had to go to babtisms for the dead in snowflake! and that is an all day trip with the youth!

Hunting at Aunt Joys!

Dying easter eggs on sunday was fun except kensi didnt quite grasp that the eggs are fragile and was kinda throwing them around but she sure thought they were pretty when they were different colors. I think I manage to take the most pictures when kensi looks the worst but oh well!

This is just as she woke up she came out of her room and noticed that the easter bunny had left her an empty basket outside her door. she caught on quickly that there was a trail of candy and toys!

We had a neighborhood easter egg hunt that I think I will never go to again. It was a little windy so they felt they should put it inside and it was packed for two seconds of eggs! and kensi was too scared of all the people to even try and get any eggs but we did walk away with a face painting and a nice mini wagon that she got as a prize!!

We are grateful for the wonderful conference and love to hear our prophets. We count our blessings every day that we have a job and a house and a wonderful family! WE are truly blessed in every way!

Randomness

WE were making a chocolate cake for the missionaries and kensi decided to lick the spoon and I gave her the empty bowl thinking if she wanted to dunk the spoon back in she could. I continue cooking and sure enough notice that she gave up on the spoon and went to licking the bowl. so she caoted herself with chocolate. After I noticed this much I just let her finish licking the bowl, what is the use in stopping after this!

Sorry kinda a blurry picture!! We are just so excited that it is warming up and you can actually last out side without a coat. Kensi and I got dressed up to go shopping today with a friend and her daughter, gracie, Gracie is kensi's age and many people looked at me weird if Jane walked off because her I am quite pregnant and two little blondies!! I got asked like 10 times if they were twins and when I said no people even showed me more sympathy. (This is in Arizona where people dont have that many kids). Then I woudl continue to explain that only one was mine and Jane would usually show up and she is big and preggo too so everyone began to make sense of it all!! Kinda funny! but it was a great day!

33 Weeks I make myself post this as often as I can becasue I don't have that many pictures of me pregnant with kensi and I was kinda sad. I think that it is fun to compare week to week between kids so to all you on your first. Take lots of pictures even if you feel fat because you will want them later!!

Everything is Great here is Williams Arizona. Actually have days where a feel a little home sick but taht is to be expected!! espicailly that I really havent too bad thus far! We are working on potty training and I think I want to hurt everyone who ever said that potty training is easy. Because it's not and I keep thinking that maybe kensi is not ready but she sure acts ready and is plenty smart to figure it out but oh well we have good days and bad but just taking it slow because it will get the best of me if I let it! so anyway if any advice is wanted I will gladly accept it! Well I hope everything is well with everyone else and Even if you feel like your blogs are nto read they are by me!! always!! So take care to all

P.S. stay in tune mark is going to be starting a food blog and we will let you know what it is as soon as he starts it!

girls, forts, and belly's

The two cute bagel girls with one heel each!

Saturday morning activity! I worked friday night this week and mark and kensi were trying to keep busy so that I could sleep after a while kensi couldnt wait any longer and game to wake me up yelling tunnel tunnel! so I came out to find this work of art! this was definatly one of my favorite things to do when I was young and there was even like 3 different rooms under here!

Kensi finally got permission to destroy and that was her favorite part!

And here she is boys!! ha ha I really think that I was this big the week before kensi was delivered but I guess we will just deal with it I am currently only 26 weeks and feel like I'm already counting down. at my last doctors appt I asked her if she was sure that I was not way over weight and she laughed and assured me that I really hadn't gained that much but some how I turned into this! I guess that is the joy of pregnancy right!

Baby is doing good and more active than kensi ever was she moves like 20 out of 24 hours a day! WE are still deciding on names and havent settled on one yet. The closer it gets the more kensi and us are are getting excited. Kensi is starting to realize that there is a baby in my belly and now carries around her dolls and calles them all baby sister! So we are very excited and hopefully we have an uneventful couple months until she comes!
