Blackfoot Dance Competition

Maddy and Kynzee had their 2nd dance competition today and they did so good. This is their first year competing and they have worked so hard, I have been so proud of them. Kynzee is the youngest on the team and she has had to work extra hard and I think she has done great. My girls love to dance, we are lucky that we have someone in the family that teaches dance and gives me a discount or I would be broke having three girls in dance :) Anyway we had a great morning watching dance. It's hard to take pictures of girls dancing but here's what I got.

My baby boy better get use to watching dance because he will be doing it for quite a while :)

This is my friends little girl Kenlee, I loved this picture, she was loving watching the girls dance.

Three years ago....

On the fourteenth it was three years ago that Makenna Kay was born. She weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and came into this world so healthy and happy. The day she was born was a day I will never forget as well as many others in my life wont forget. I really am lucky to be alive after such a horrible experience. It all started with a broken arm from falling UP the cement stairs in the garage with Kynzee in my arms, that led to smashing the placenta which put me into labor a couple weeks later, which led to a c-section, a cut uterine artery that bled and bled, lots of pain medications, an allergic reaction to a drug which led to liver failure and a trip to the ICU, and a long recovery from there!! But out of all that I got a sweet baby girl that gave me so much hope that things would be okay. We love Makenna so much and are so thankful for her in our lives, we feel lucky to have her here today.

She loves green salad and ice cream. Kenna plays with her two big sisters and goes on all kinds of adventures with them. She loves riding on the motorbike and 4 wheeler with her Daddy. Since baby Jaxon was born Kenna cannot keep her eyes off of him she absolutely adores him! Happy Birthday Kenna we love you sweetie pie!!

Jaxon 4 month checkup and shots

I took Jaxon in for his 4 month checkup and shots I always hate doing that!!! Why is it that the nurse who is causing all the pain is at the feet and Mommy has to be at the head and then baby thinks that it is Mommy hurting him :( These were by far the worst set of shots any of my kids have ever had because poor Jaxon just cried and cried and none of my kids have ever done that. He was so upset it was a rough day for him. Jaxon is growing so fast and I am enjoying every little moment. He smiles and laughs all the time. He is very ticklish on his belly and I can get a really good laugh out of him when I rub his belly. He is still just drinking Mommys milk which is working great for his chubby little body. He loves his swing and his bumbo chair and of course being held. Jaxon hates his car seat really bad. He spits up all the time and we tease him that he will have a favorite burp rag instead of blanket :) Poor little man would probably weigh twice as much as he does if he didn't spit up so much. Jaxon has to sleep at an incline so he usually sleeps in his swing, car seat or on Mommys shoulder. The girls love him so much and he smiles so big at them when they come near him. We love this little man he is a huge joy in our home. Here are is stats from the Dr.

Jaxon
Weight 15 lbs 7 oz
Height 23 1/4 in
Head 16 3/4 in

And of course I like to see what the girls were and it is fun to have it written now that I am going to make this into a book so here are the rest of the kids stats.

My Cousin's Wedding

My cousin Monika got married last weekend to a really nice guy named Chris! I was so excited to be able to go to Utah and be to her wedding. We needed to get out of the house and have a break away from the phone, TV, doorbell, school, work, laundry etc.. And it was such a fun break. The kids had fun in the Hotel and I had fun relaxing and spending time with my family. Monika and Chris were married in the Logan Temple but their reception was in Provo so it was a rush to be everywhere we needed to be that day. My girls and baby boy were very worn out after the day was all over with. They even had blisters on their heels to prove it :( And their dresses...well I don't think they could have been dirtier. Here are some fun pictures from our weekend.

Hotel Fun Swimming

My baby boy has acid reflux really bad, (you wouldn't know it from his weight LOL!!) so the car ride in his car seat all day was not good for him, he was a mess and needed a bath every chance he could get. Our one Hotel we stayed in did not have a bath tub grrrrr!!! So I used the sink. Look at this chubby baby in the sink it was too funny I had to get a picture.

Sleeping in Hotels has always been an adventure, well now with four kids it is even more of an adventure. But I must say my kids slept great, it could have been because we stayed up till almost 1:00 every night and they were completely exhausted. My baby slept in his car seat and slept for 8 hours it was wonderful. And the girls all shared a bed and snuggled next to each other and slept and slept :)

My brother took us to this yummy Chinese restaurant, I can't remember the name but it was wonderful. We had chicken lettuce wraps that were delicious.

Mom and Baby Jaxon
And finally they came out!!! Look how cute they are together.

The reception...Monika and my girls. They love Monika so much it was fun for them to be able to be there on Monika's wedding day and see her all dressed up like a princess.

The dance...Kenna watched and watched as they danced and then as soon as they were done she went running up to Monika and had to give her the biggest hug, it was so cute.

On our drive home we went the long way and drove around to Bear Lake and then to Palisades where my Grandma lives. We stopped and visited my Grandma and we saw these elk on the way and the girls were so excited to see so many elk all at once. It was a nice drive and fun to spend time together. I can't wait for the next weekend getaway :)
