Cash can count to ten!

So... I have no idea what this squirrel is doing on my roof, but it climbs this tree in front of my window a hundred times a day... I'm sure he's made a nest, and that frightens me!

Cash has been counting to ten for about a month! Smart boy!

And the days keep rolling by....

To start off with thanks Ang for the virtual kick in the pants! I genuinely do not want to ignore my blog anymore... along with everything else I am no longer ignoring... such as:

College-- some of you know i have FINALLY gone back to school... crazy how long it took! Six years goes quickly! I started this semester, i am taking 12 credits, 2 night classes, and 2 on-line classes... It has gone well so far, I would like to do the nursing program... but we will see...

Exercising--Although appeased since Coleman and I got gym memberships... and I am trying to make a habit out of going... It is coming back quickly thanks to last summer... but I have baby-weight left, and I need to stop eating EVERYTHING I come into contact with...

House--Just kidding, i would rather ignore this than my children! and my life is feeling pretty full right now! :) It does stay pretty clean, but everything has grown legs in the last year, since Cash started walking. Soon it will be times 2!!

What we've been doing lately:

Cash crazy LoVeS bubble baths! Holy crap! I can't keep clothing on him, and he frequently gets in the tub twice a day! Goofball! But at least he is clean...

He's not as satisfied anymore though, unless "sister in the tub!" He loves Presley, is getting better with sharing me, but does like to cuddle for at least 20-30 minutes in the morning before Presley gets up. He is excited to show her things (toys, cell phones... pictures, pretty much everything) he calls her pwes, sister, and Pwesey... He gives her lots of kisses and loves! Oh how I love this boy! He is definitely 2, with all the attitude and everything else... (when she is upset he will say "sister, seriously! seriously sister!" like be quiet! she can be asleep and he will get after her... crazy child...)

Cash and I have a power struggle... regularly about everything... when to eat breakfast, what to have... when he wants to watch t.v.... when to take a nap... who should close his bedroom door when he is napping..."I do it by self!" Such an attitude! He has preferences to all things, and is not afraid to tell it how it is!

She regularly gets lost under the bubbles, poor girl...

HALLOWEEN!!

We hit the boo at the zoo this year...the night before Halloween. Cash enjoyed the trick or treating... he relaized not too far into it that when he said "trick-or-treat" they give him a treat... then he would say "no...i want THAT one" so they would give him another one... he is too smart... nothing like getting treats for being cute! He was a dinosaur... VERY excited about the costume... He's a pretty funny boy! He wore it almost the whole week of halloween, and called it "Costune, Costune... no I want Costune!"

Then on halloween day we went with Sarah to her wards trunk-or-treat... it was fun, kooper was of course bumblebee. That boy and his transformer obsession! I love him! Livi was a cute little witch, and she apparently didn't make it into these pictures... but she was super cute! And Pres was a hawaiian girl... I don't have a picture of her either, Sarah does... Iwill have to get it.

Mom and her beau Blake

My SO happy sweey girl! She is getting SO pretty!! Everyday I just want to stare at her! She rolled over the first time (from front to back) at 2.5 months, on September 27th... I was like "holy crap! she just rolled over!" and Coleman said "it was just a coincidence", to which I replied "Yeah, it always is the first time!" So a bit later I put her back on her tummy, and she did it AGAIN! She is getting better at it, and at holding her head clear up offthe floor. She has been rolling from back to front too this week! They get big WAY too fast!

thiswas fun... thanks for crayola washable! he told me the picture was a snake!

And to those who made it this far.... my darling hubby... we celebrated our 5th anniversary last week... Holy hannah! And doesn'the just look so cute and studious in those glasses?!?

Ptosis [toh-sis]

My little Presley has a condition, drooping of the upper eyelid, called Ptosis. It's her Right eye. You may have noticed it in previous pictures of her. We took her down to a Pediatric Opthalmalogist this morning, and he said that she has Moderate ptosis, and wants to see her back in 8 weeks. The problem is that over time that lid can cause her other eye to compensate for it, and she could lose vision in her ptosis eye. And the weight of the lid on her eye all the time could change the shape of her eye (causing an astigmatism) so she would need glasses, or worse. He said with where she is right now, her eyes look good, and she can see, but he wants me to put an eye patch on her for a half an hour every other day, to help that eye continue to develop...

At least they make cute ones right? Gotta love the pink camo! : )

He also said at some point she will probably need surgery to shorten the muscle a bit in that eye so that she will be able to open it all the way... He made it sound like it was when [she needs surgery], not if. He will send us to SLC to do it, because they "do a great job, and they do so many more of them, it just makes more sense to refer the 3 i would do a year"

It's okay Presley, I think you are so gorgeous! Eyepatch and all!

Presley's Blessing

Sweet Little Pres was blessed on Sunday! Coleman did an Amazing job, and i am so grateful for him! It was long, and so neat! Thank you for being prepared to bless our babies! I love you!

....4 Generations....


My Aunt Cathy gave Presley the dress, and it is GORGEOUS! Long Ivory Silk. I love it! Cathy bought my blessing dress too when I was a baby.

Dad, Kristine and Spicy Kennedy! I love that girl!

Which of these is better?!?!

Hopefully someone got a better picture of us....

Ammon Day at McCowin park!

2 week-ends ago

We went to Lagoon Last Friday (8/21) Cash did great! we stayed out WAY too late... but he was being so good! He loved it! Presley did great! She slept quite a bit... she's a good girl!








Presley's super cute swimsuit... we went to Sam's that morning and bought clearance swimsuits...since we were going to the waterpark... It has disney princesses on it! LOVE it!




Noah took cash on a lot of the rides! Thanks Noah dude!

Then saturday we went to:





Which is FANTASTIC, by the way!

But before that we went to:


He screamed "GIRAFFE!" when we came around by the giraffes... he LOVES giraffes! especially the "giraffe store" (or toys R us...he frequently asks to go there!) he really liked the elephants too... I think because they are so huge in real-life... and he's not seen many of them...


We had a super good weekend!!

Freedom of speech, poeple! It's his opinion! and he's RIGHT!
