The Zoo

A few weeks ago, David's family, Tami's family and a family friend, Shannon and her kids, all met us in Sacramento and we went to the Zoo for their kids' spring break. It was so much fun. First we went to the Zoo and got to see all the animals, Kennidi loved all of the animals except for the monkey's, well the chimpanzee's. She really didn't like them. We got to see all sorts of animals, Giraffe's, Lion's, Tiger's, Leopard's , a snow Leopard,a Hyena, all different kinds of birds and so on. So here are a few pictures of what we saw.





In the Zoo they had a little play/picnic area so we all went over there and played.





For some reason in the middle of all the playing, Kennidi got "sad". So she went behind a toy and sat down. When we went to talk to her this was the look on her face.


We had a lot of fun.





After the Zoo we went to Fairyland Park. Basically it is a big playground with a lot of toys, all based around fairytales. We loved it. Especially Kennidi.







Kennidi was so tired on the way home that she fell asleep before we got back on the freeway. Oh yeah , he also has a fishy in her mouth

Friends

I just got these pictures from Andrea Green and I have to share them. Kennidi and friends.

The Last month and a half

So the last month and a half has been crazy. It all stared on January 26 at 3:30 A.M. McKinlee woke up with a 103.5 degree temperature. SO we call Kristi and my parents and Kristi comes down to stay with Kennidi. So we rush off to the Emergency room and after 3 and a half hours we find out that she has a double ear infection. so she goes on medication. Two weeks later Kennidi gets a fever and yeap, ear infections. So she goes on the same medication. That next week Kennidi gets allergies. Which isn't that big of a deal, she gets them all the time. That next weekend we got to Thomas and Tami's house and Nait and Kennidi are upstairs playing, I hear crying and Cheyanne calling my name. i up up stairs and Kennidi had hit her lip on the back of the couch and her tooth went straight through her bottom lip. Blood everywhere and a lot of crying. We take her down stairs to clean her up. And when she looks at my shirt with blood on it, she stops crying and looks and my and says, "Sorry Mom", it was so sweet. The rest of the day her lip is swollen and she keeps accidentally biting it. A week and a half after the. Kennidi and McKinlee are taking a bath, and I am sitting right there, and usually Kennidi likes to help me with McKinlee , so she has a little cup that she can pour on McKinlee's tummy. Well, she grabs a big cup and pours it on her head, and mcKinlee inhales some water. So for the next few hours we watch McKinlee and sure enough she starts throwing up, coughing and wheezing. So we rush her back to the emergency room. Luckily after only 2 hours we find out that she is ok. The doctors tell us to watch for more coughing and a fever. the next day, sure enough, more cough and a fever. So we take her over to Polly's and McKinlee has Pneumonia. My poor little baby. So she goes back on medication. She is doing well, but then a few nights ago, McKinlee throws up like every 5-7 min. For about an hour. It is ucky mucus. On top of the Pneumonia McKinlee gets a little stomach bug. Now McKinlee is feeling better and Kennidi's lip is almost healed. I sure hope that nothing else happens. And that was our last month and a half.

Family Pictures

For Christmas my whole entire family was here, so we were able to take family pictures. Here is my family.

So much to talk about

I haven't updated anything in 3 months and there is so much to talk about. First we went to Idaho for Thanksgiving (I think i blogged about that). Two weeks later we went to LA for one of my really good friends weddings. It was beautiful. Fortunately we able to see Jason and Elsie while we were down there They where kind enough to watch the girls outside of the temple during the wedding.


On the way home we saw a few beautiful rainbows

When we got back from the wedding, Blake and I got to move into our brand new house. It is so nice owing your first home. You get to do what you want with the colors and you get to make it any way you want. Plus it is nice when your mortgage is cheaper then what you are paying for rent.
Next comes Christmas. We were in our new home and all of my side of the family got together. That is a total of 31 immediate family members. That is a lot. Don't worry we got pictures. Those will come later, they are still on my mom's computer. Christmas morning was a blast though. I got surprised by Blake, he got me Dyson Animal Ball Vacuum cleaner. You know that you are truly a stay at home mom when you get excited about appliances.

Our good friend Karen came and stayed with us for Christmas. We had a lot of fun.

Kennidi totally scored Christmas morning. She got a lot of stuff. Thanks Santa


McKinlee had a lot of fun on her first Christmas. She loved her presents
