Catching Everyone Up on Our lives

WOW!! I can't believe that summer is over and kids are back to school. We had a great summer, lots of swimming, playing, and getting some sun time in!! Londyn loves outside, so we were out there a lot!!
Lets start with OUR very exciting news, WE ARE FIRST TIME HOME OWNERS!! We love this cute home that we can stay in for years and years, which I'm so excited for because this is our 6th move in 2 years!!! Londyn adjusted in to her new home and big girl bed AWESOMELY!! And I finally got to have my piano after having it sit in storage for 3 months!!

Another thing that is going on in our lives is that we just found out that this pregnancy is no different from when I was with Londyn. Our little man is measuring small and my fluid is low. :( I started NSTs (Non-stress Test) last Thursday, and have to have them twice a week, plus an ultrasound every week. He didn't do so well the first 1/2 hour of the stress test, but did much better the last hour!! So we'll see how he'll do on Tuesday.

Here's some pictures of my belly at 33 weeks!!
We tried to get Londyn kissing her little brother, but she was to quick.

Our VERY busy MONTH of JUNE!!

Holy MOLY!! June is almost over and I feel like I haven't been able to catch my breath. Let me update ya'll on what has been going on in the Kendall family life! Memorial Day we had to move out of our town home because our lease was up! We've been oogling over this house in American Falls for a few months now, that is being flipped. WE were hoping it would be done by the middle of June, so we moved in with Bradey's parents for awhile. (FYI: The house isn't done yet, but its well worth the wait. We went and saw the progress last weekend, IT IS BEAUTIFUL and almost done!!)



Then on June 9th, I found out that my doctor decided to change my due date from Sept 29th to Oct 16th, because little man is measuring 3 weeks behind!



On the 10th we made an all night trip to Washington for Arthur's (most of you know him as Colby, my little bro) graduation!! What a drive that was!! But the trip was a wonderful success!! We stayed from the 10th-14th. My little family got very spoiled by my dad! With all the fun "toys" he has it was hard to pull Londyn and BRADEY away from my dad's home.

The first day we were there Dad took Londyn and Hunter on a ride on the tractor, we couldn't get Londyn off!!



After that some of the family walked down to the river that's behind my dad's house. We got some very precious pics of Londyn that I just have to share!



Then we had a fiesta for Arthur and his "twin" Peter Pan (his name is actually Elias and its a long story of why I call him Peter Pan. I love this kid! He's my brother from another mother!!) It was a blast!



The main event GRADUATION!! was on the 12th. I can't believe my baby brother is graduated from high school!! I have a very special bond with this kid, plus I'm pregnant, so I was a CRY BABY!!



Saturday was our fun day!! Dad had Bradey run the tractor around his garden (an acre + of food!!) Londyn went with him. And it was HARD to get the BOTH of them off!!

To cool down from all that "hard work" we went boating. Londyn got on the tube for the first time and did amazing!! We even got splashed quite a bit, and not a single tear or fuss!! I'm so proud of her!

We went home on Sunday. :( The drive was a little better. Londyn and I played and read books most of the way home.





5 days later Tesha welcomed into this world a GORGEOUS and very little girl!! Jessa Lynn Wellard came into this world on June 19th at 5:20 am!! Weighing in at a whole whopping 4 lbs 3 oz. and 17 inches long. She was about 5 weeks early, so they took her down to the NICU to monitor her for awhile. She's been in there for over a week now. Everything is healthy and perfect, she is just having issues with eating. They have to feed her through a tube that's in her nose. Preemies have problems with swallowing and breathing at the same time. So once she figures that out, she'll be able to come home. Hunter just loves his new baby sister, and Londyn loves her new girl cousin!! Its adorable to see these to toddler's with this newborn.

PS: You're gonna have to go to my FACEBOOK profile to see pictures. For some reason my pictures won't download today! :(

WE ARE HAVING.......

Londyn is proud to announce that she will be a big sister to a little brother!!! We went to the doctor's office at 3:30 yesterday for the ultrasound. The techie said she knew right off the bat we were having a boy! I guess he was showing off his equipment!! Looks like my children are very PROUD of who they are, because Londyn did the same thing!! He is healthy and everything is perfect, except he's measuring 3 weeks behind, so my due date might change next month!! BUT we are THRILLED to be blessed with a little boy!! It will be a new adventure! Just as Londyn was!!

Another exciting thing happened for us this morning, Londyn broke through her first tooth! It has been a very hard past few days for the little girl! :( Because on top of teething she's got some virus. Poor thing can't catch a break. But she was such a big girl at the ultrasound and even watched the screen for the most part.

WE are so blessed to have these children in our lives. I am very grateful that Heavenly Father trusts Bradey and me to take care of them here on the earth. Being a mom is amazing!!

Mother's Day/Kason's 3rd B-day

Our nephew Kason turned 3 on May 10th (Mother's Day) and we were invited to go to Yellowstone Bear World for his birthday!! WE had a blast!! Londyn loves animals, so she was in heaven with all the bears, deer, elk, and other animals!! We got to go on a "bus tour" to feed the BIG Grizzly and Black bears, we went on rides, and had YUMMY cake!! After all the bear fun, we headed to Idaho Falls to eat dinner at Red Robin!! The food was awesome, our waitress SUCKED!! Oh I guess I should mention that I got a new CTR ring, a book, and breakfast for Mother's Day that morning!! I have the best husband and daughter ever!!!

The first BEAR we got to see was a huge stuffed one in the gift shop

Then we got to see and pet the little baby bears. They were maybe a few months old!
Then we hopped on the bus
First we saw Buffalo and Elk
This guy will get up to 8 points when his antlers grow out!!

Then we were ready to FEED and see the BIG bears! The neat thing was that some of the bears were "show biz" bears. One was a Coca-Cola bear, and another one was Baloo from the live-action version of The Jungle Book.


The Alfa Wolf and The Oldest Grizzly

This was funny!! This wolf kept following this white car!!
After the tour we went into the petting zoo. Londyn loved the momma and baby deer.
The momma started to lick me!
Our little baby bear!! ROARER......
Bradey went on all the rides except one because he couldn't fit in the car, so I had go!!
Londyn had fun, so don't be fooled by the faces she pulls in the pictures!

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!

ANOTHER ONE!!

I just have a funny tale to tell!! You all know how much of a Daddy's girl Londyn is. She has been that way since the womb. Every time Bradey would talk or touch my belly she would kick like crazy. Well this morning at 4:30!! I got a nice little kick that made me have to go pee, and then I just couldn't fall back asleep. The baby was kind of moving, so I just sat there and enjoyed our "alone time" together. Bradey's alarm went off at 5, like it does every morning. I told him that his child was kicking, so he put his hand on my belly! OH BOY!! Our new little monster just went CRAZY!! She/he was kicking like there was NO tomorrow!! It seems that my children share a secret bond with their father that maybe I'll understand in the eternities maybe?!! Since I don't know what makes them love him SO much before they even meet him. I just find it funny how we're 2 for 2 on Daddy's kids! But I can't blame them, he's very hard NOT to love!!
