One Month

I cannot believe that Mikenzli is already one month old. The time has gone by so fast. She is such an amazing baby and such a joy to have. I was worried about adjusting to having two kids but so far it has been so easy. (hopefully it will stay that way)

I thought I would share a similar picture of Sariah when she was a baby. The crazy thing about these pictures are that Sariah was 3 pounds less than Kenzli...you cannot tell at all. CRAZY!

Moved

Kenzli has been sleeping in our room since we came home. It was convenient but I was not sleeping well. I finally was able to get a glider in her room so she was moved today. She just seems TOO SMALL to be in such a HUGE bed.

(I included some pics of her room just for fun.)

Isn't she just ADORABLE???!!!!

FOR CANDICE!!! :)

As requested...here are some pics of just Kenzli...ENJOY!!!

Kenzli lovin' her bathtime!!

SISTERS

Sariah LOVES her baby sister. She has been so good to help out and just loves to be around Kenzli. It has been really cute to watch.

Beautiful

I just had to share this picture with everyone. I know that I am biased but I have to say that my daughter is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL. She is such a joy and I feel blessed to be her mother. She has grown up so much and is going to be a wonderful big sister.

COUSINS

Sariah got to see alot of her cousins this summer. Josh and Sarah came into town during June and we were able to get the three Carroll cousins together and let them play. They were really cute together and got along really well considering the age differences between them. Brynnlie, Jace, Sariah

Sariah and I were also able to go to Utah with my mom for a family reunion in June. Sariah and Grace were able to spend lots of time together. They are cute to watch grow up. Even though they live far away from each other, they are always excited to see each other. They both experinced their first cousin sleepover. Despite the late night, they were both pretty good (especially considering their age). In the morning, they watched and danced to Imagination Movers.

Sariah and Grace wanted to match and Sariah wanted her hair exactly like Gracie's. They had a great time playing together and Sariah can't wait to see again soon.

BLOG UPDATE OVERLOAD

I figured now that I am on bedrest, I have no excuse not to update the blog. There are several posts so you will need to scroll down this whole page to see them all. I will continue to catch up with all our summer fun over the next couple days so check back often.

Now as to why I am on bedrest...well this past weekend, my blood pressure spiked. I have small traces of protein in my urine so I am to stay down to prolong having this baby. I received my second steroid shot today which will help the baby's lung develop faster. I am being closely monitored to make sure that nothing goes wrong. I will have two appointments per week to monitor the baby and see the doctor. I will keep you updated as anything changes.

Cerreta's and Peter Piper

This summer we have tried to stay busy and cool which is not super easy in Arizona. Megan and I took the kids to Cerreta's Chocolate Factory for a tour and then made a chocolate pizza. Sariah loved it (mostly the eating, not so much the making part).

When we got home, Jake and I took Sariah to Peter Piper Pizza for their lunch buffet. A little boy won a strawberry shortcake doll and was nice enough to give it to Sariah. She LOVES it!!! She took it for a ride on the merry-go-round and was so happy.
