family pictures

Ok so we took family pictures way back in august but we just barely got them edited so here you go.







this is my parents with all there grandkids


This is the whole family together with our families for the first time in years, it was a lot of fun.
just us goofing off.

Owens broken elbow

Wow life has been crazy it seems like it takes forever to get around to my blog. well as most of you know by now right after kenna was born owen broke his elbow. we are still going to an orthopedic specialist and owen is making great progress, Fingers crossed he wont have to do physical therapy. Well here is kind of a run down of events

Kenna and Noahs baby blessings the whole family was together lots of fun playing with cousins, but too much playing with cousins ends up with.....



This. a late night trip to the ER. Now it took a while for us to actually take owen in because if any of you know owen he likes to draw things out forever the 24 hour flu ends up to be the 2 week flu. but once we noticed his elbow swelling we decided to take him in so the night before our 13 hour trip to sandpoint we are sitting in the emergency room.
owen was actually having fun after they gave him some Tylenol. (showing grandpa his cool wrist band.


Well after all the x-rays and nothing showing up they think it is fracture on the growth plate which dont show up on x rays until 7-10 days later so they want us to re x-ray later but they splint it and put him in a sling the night before our family vacation on the beach (no swimming)
Well since the 7-10 day mark was in sandpoint we end up at a doctor there . owen was in good spirit until...The doctor took his splint off and started playing with his arm. after his 2nd set of x rays we are told that it was just a sprain and that he should use it as much as he will (yay he gets to swim)




Now I dont have pictures for the rest of the story but here you go. the doctor ($200 later) tells us that we need to have a follow up in a week. I said we will be back home in a week so he tells me to go to our pediatrician when we get home to make sure everything is ok. so a week later we go to dr. again with x-rays in tow and behold (our amazing doctor) see's something on the x rays that no one else sees so he wants to re do them at his office. he does and finds a fracture to the elbow. so he sends a to the orthopedic specialist who see the fracture in every set of x rays, why no one else saw it I don't know. so Owen has a compound fracture all the way threw his elbow. the doctor was amazed that all the use of it didn't displace it. so there is the story we are still working on the stiffness of his elbow. he cant quite touch is shoulder but we are hoping that physical therapy isn't going to be necessary.

I have lots of blog post that are started just not finished so check back every few days to see if I posted something new. I will try to get all caught up soon.

Dinosaur Museum

well the whole month of august it was $2 tuesdays at thanksgiving point so we were able to take the boys to the dinosaur museum which we would never do unless it was 2$ tuesday it was and awsome museum but we figured it out it cost us 8 dollars to go this last time but on a normal day it would be over 50 dollars. we had a lot of fun it was really crowded though. they had so many hands on things for the boys to do. we also went to farm land.
this truck was in the farm land area the boys loved it and probably could of spent the day just playing with that



this is one big turtle

Kenna's baby blessing

Kenna's baby blessing was almost a month ago but we have been so busy I am just getting around to it. since the baby blessing we had two weddings and a vacation, Owen broke his elbow and clint is getting ready to start school in the morning. I will be doing more post soon. but for now here is my beautiful baby. I crochet kenna's blessing dress it took me forever (about 3 months) but I was really proud of it when I was done, I am teaching myself to crochet with the help of youtube. We did a double blessing with my nephew Noah. He was born 2 days after Kenna and since our family is the same on both sides it just made since we do them together. it was so fun to have everyone together to bless these two precious babies.






This is the picture of her with the full dress I wanted one on her blessing blanket my mom made but with a trip to the emergency room with Owen , things didn't go exactly how we wanted them to.


our crazy family, we are finding it is a lot harder to get a good family pictures with four kids under the age of 5.

Stacey and jays cute family


This was right before the broken elbow indecent. he wrapped the rope around his are and then he fell. Kaleb didn't see him and kept running, I was so mad at myself cause I was about to tell them they were getting to wild. isn't that how it always happens

cute gavin is playing .

Kennas Photo Shoot

We are still trying to take good pictures of Kenna, and capture some of those sweet newborn moments. She is so cute, we are just trying to duplicate it as an image. Though I wish I could get more, I think these are a good representation of her. Enjoy.

Its been easy to get some good ones while she's asleep.

Tiny hands, you always forget how small they are, even if her fingers are super long.

She also got very long toes. Not sure if this does them justice.
Trying to get a a good representation of how big she is. The tickle me Elmo seemed like the best way to represent her size.
Kenna half awake. Probably because the tutu was kind of itchy. Tiffany actually made that tutu, and it didn't take her too long. She is also making Kennas blessing dress, which will will post pictures of when its done. Very cute as well.
That hand must be tasty.


She's getting tired it seems, its hard being a model.
Surrounded in pink, Tiffany is so excited to have so much pink around the house now.

Coming Home

On Sunday, Tiffany and I got to take Kenna home. Her jaundice levels were slightly high, but not too bad. She was tested a few days later and everything is normal. We finally got her out of her hospital clothes, and got her in her first real outfit. She looked so cute, and the bow seemed a lot bigger than we thought it was.

We had to try and get some pictures of her with the boys. They still seemed to like the idea of a new sister, but Gavin was not sure how he felt about her. Trying to get them all in a picture is a mess, and they were playing before we tried this, so it wasn't as good as we had hoped, but at least they are all in one spot at one time.

Since Tyson and Owen were more open to the idea of taking pictures, we thought it would be cute to get the three of them. They sure love her, and they both kept saying "look, its my new baby sister."

Showing off her cute face, hard to catch, but she looked so cute.

Since we haven't gotten many pictures of the boys in their own element in a while, we thought we would take some pictures of them at lunch. Gavin is quite the eater, and he is getting big. He seems huge after only holding Kenna for 3 days.

Tyson and Owens new thing is making their own sandwhiches. They really enjoy making them, and they feel like such big boys. They sure make a mess but thats something that we can deal with.
Since we have never had a girl, and this is the first baby where I have had my Nikon, we have taken a lot of cute baby pictures. Though we are still trying to make this work, I think the results were great. Here are some of Kenna just being cute.
