TaeLynn Renee

Our sweet baby girl joined us in this world on July 14, 2009. She weighted 7 lbs 4 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. She was born at 7:50 am. Andy and I headed up to the hospital at 5:30 in the morning for our scheduled c-section. When we got there they right away got me in my gown and ready to go. The dr came by around 7:20 and thats when the real preparation started. They took me into the operating room and gave me my epidural waited for that to get working and then started the operation. Not soon after did this little girl start crying! She wasn't even completely born yet before she started crying. I was so anxious to see her. I kept asking Andy, is she out yet? I want to see her. I was so excited when they finally held her up and every looked good. She was perfect! A happy healthy baby. The hospital stay was long but the nurses were all so awesome. I had only one nurse that wasn't very good, but for the four days that I was there thats not too bad! I was able to come home on Friday morning and boy did it feel good to get into some normal clothes and get in the car to head home. The first night at home TaeLynn went to bed at 11pm and didn't wake up until 6 am, and then fell back asleep until about 9:45 am. What an awesome first night! I couldn't believe that she slept that long. I hope this is something that is going to become a habit!!! I am so excited that she is here and I am so grateful that she is healthy and that nothing went wrong. I feel so blessed to have another little girl.

Finally a place to call home!

I absolutely love our new house. I have had so much fun getting everything put together. Kenzie loves her new bedroom and can't wait to get the walls painted pink. We have been settled in for a week now and its starting to finally feel like everything is put away. I am so excited to finally have a place of our own. I love it!!

He did it!!

Congrats hunny! We are so proud of you and all of your hard work. Its been a long time waiting but we finally made it. No more school! The only question is what are you going to do with all that extra spare time??!

Just like mommy

So I have a little twin running around with me. Little Mckenzie wants to be just like mommy, we have to wear the same shirt, or shoes, she loves to put make up on with me in the morning and she makes sure that we have the same hair do's in the morning. She has been so funny about making sure we are just the same. If we go outside and I tell her to put on a jacket she makes sure that I have one on too. And the same with shoes, if I am wearing my flip flops she is right there with me wearing hers. I love that she wants to do the same as me. I just think its the cutest thing. So I thought I would post a few pictures of us putting our make up on in the morning.

Look at my shimmery eyes!

And I couldn't be the only one taking the pictures, Kenzie needed to make sure that we had one of mommy too!

Who taught her that?

So the other day Andy and I were driving to Costco, Mckenzie was in the back eating her treats we had gotten at the store. Well as we were driving Mckenzie is talking to her self and she starts saying "these are a hundred dollars, oh my hell" I just started laughing. Andy and I looked at each other like did she really just say what we think she said? So Andy asks her, Kenzie what did you just say? And she replied with "oh my goodness", no Mckenzie what did you say?, and she says "oh my gosh" Andy says no what did you just say? And she just belts out "these were a hundred dollars oh my hell" I couldn't not stop laughing. It was just about the funniest thing I had heard her say. Well we all know who she hangs out with the most, her mommy definitely says the phrase "oh my hell" a little too much.

Catching up

Wow, I can't believe how long its been since I have actually posted something worth posting. Not a whole lot has happened in the last month and a half, but we have done a few fun things to write about. We went on a little mini vacation in March I think. We went down to St. George and stayed the weekend there. Mckenzie had fun swimming in the pool and sleeping in a new place. She loved the pool, she would go back and forth from the hot tub to the big pool only staying in either one for maybe a minute. But she loved it.

Our little fish!

We finished gymnastics and have started swimming lessons. We have only gone to one lesson but it was fun. We are in a mom and tot class so its been fun getting in the pool with Kenzie and helping her learn some new things and to get used to being in the water.

Well have also done some house looking. Andy graduates here in a couple of weeks so we have been look at houses pretty seriously the last couple of weeks. I have enjoyed looking and get so anxious to finally be in a house of our own. There has been a few nights were I can't stop thinking about some of the houses we've looked at and have a hard time falling asleep because its finally going to happen! I am so grateful for Andy and all the hard work he has done to get through school. We love you and are so proud of you hunny! Only two more weeks!!!!
