Things to be thankful for!!

Tis the season to think about all the things that we are truly greatful for. Lately Kennedy has been throwing up quite a lot so we took her in for some test to rule out Pyloric Stenosis, (where the stomach has a blockage and cannot digest food!) Thank goodness she does not have it. But we have found at that her intestines are positioned wrong and it could possibly need surgery to correct. But as of now she does not need surgery, so needless to say that is my number one thing to be thankful for this holiday season. I am thankful for my family and all my friends. They mean so much to me and have been such a wonderful support system. Through all the hard times in my life and the good times. My little Jerick has become quite curious about how to spell every thing. In the car he will ask how to spell whatever we pass. It gets so annoying but I am thankful for his ability to see and be a healthy little boy! My husband is a wonderful provider and an excellent dad. Even in the middle of the night he will get up with Jerick if he needs a book read to him. I love him with all my heart.

Our Wonderful Day!

Its been awhile since there was a post and Homer claims he is too busy so I thought I would just update so people won't stress any more. We got sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple at noon on the 16th of October. When we got to the temple I was getting a little shaky and Homer was trying not to show his nerves, (not doing that good of a job). Jerick was ready to go and play in the nursery. When we took him to the room he didn't even want us to say goodbye to him. When we got into the sealing room it was beautiful! To see all the family and friends that support us. Jerick came in a little later and didn't know what to think about everyone crying and staring at him. He came over to us at the alter and in true Jerick fashion he started to climb up onto the alter. It was so cute and gave everyone a nice little laugh. He was so adorable all dressed in white! I don't think Homer or I have ever cried so hard. We left the temple and went outside to take pictures. I don't think it could have been a more beautiful day. We decided to walk to Olive Garden for lunch after and thats when all the fun started. I started to feel a little funny as we were waiting to go into the resturant. I didn't think to much of it until we got our food and the stomach pains starting coming and going. I tried to walk outside with Maddie, (No doubt I traumatized Maddie!) While we were eating I leaned over to Homer and said I think we need to go. Homer asked for a box and I tore him a new one. Hello I am in horrible pain and he is worried about his food! Only a man!! Thank goodness Dad and Mom had drove the jeep down to the resturant. We left and poor dad didn't know exactly what to do with a women crying in the backseat. And poor Jerick was trying to comfort me by talking, and well if you have ever been in labor you just need quite! I decided I couldn't wait until American Fork to go to the hospital. So we stopped at the Murray hospital. They put me on the monitors for an hour and said well we can admit you or you can try to make it to home to be with your own doctor. We decided to try and make it to American Fork. But let me back up a little. If you know my dad you know how patient of a man he is, so mom took dad and Jerick home. Well they released us and mom was still not back. I was going crazy she couldn't get there fast enough. When mom finally got there I had found that rocking back and forth on my knees was the only thing helping. When we left Murray it was rush hour. We made it to American Fork Hospital by 6:30 and Kennedy was born at 9:51 that night. She was born on our anniversary and the day that we were sealed. I guess she just wanted to join in the day activities.

Well I guess I have been tagged

It's me lazy bones!!

Yet again no pics. Sorry. So I would try to explain to y'all that I was way busy and couldn't find time to post any blogging material, But that would be a lie. Fortunately for y'all I am blogging today. I recently ran the Hobblecreek 1/2 Marathon with Mike and Tiff, which was a peice of cake (not), and well we did pretty good I think for beginners. I unfortunatley ran out of gas right at the end and was a little disappointed, but finished and I was definitely proud of all of us. I will hopefully get some pics up soon. So that's probably enough chatter about me lets talk about my amazing wife and son. Whitney is now 30ish weeks and doing very good the baby is on track and kicking all the time. Jerick is growing up way too fast and is so bright. Well now that my A.D.D. is kicking in and I have totally lost track of where I was going with this post I am gonna sign out, Laters.
P.S. I forgot to mention we saw cuz Paige at the race Way to Go!

Wonderful Blessings!

There are no pictures to go with this post but I thought what the heck , we need to post so like it or not there is no picture. Jerick is a pretty smart 3 year old and lately it has become clear to him that blessings he can get from his daddy are a good thing. When Jerick got his first blessing he said to his daddy, "Thank you for blessing me head!" With his sweet little voice, thanks to his surgery. Since Saturday Jerick has said after every family prayer we have at night that something new is hurting him. Last night it was his back, the night before that it was his knee, and the night before that it was his head and back. At first Homer was a little reluctant to give Jerick a blessing just because he wasn't sure if it was appropriate. I told Homer what a better way for Jerick to learn that he can come to you any time he needs a blessing. Jerick will grow up knowing that he was able to go to his dad anytime and his dad was right there ready and willing. After every blessing Jerick looks up at Homer and says, " Daddy your amazing!" I even think I have seen a tear or two in Homers eye after his little boy said that. So in closing I just wanted to say that blessings are a great thing, for three years not having them in my little family has made me realize how important they really are!!

I know I know it's about time!

Yes your right that is an amazing KIA, but the cute little boy and his grandpa on the four wheeler are what we are trying to focus on. Jerick loves that four wheeler and loves to help papa. Anytime papa even walks through the garage door Jerick is only one step behind him. Jerick is papas' little mascot.

It's A Girl!!!

So day has finally come. We have found out what
gender baby morrill is. She is a little baby girl but
most importantly, well fortunately, that she is a
healthy baby girl. Whitney was soooo excited, not
saying I wasn't, but I am thinking she was just a
little more than me. We have also decided on her
name. Kennadee, Kennadey, Kennadie, Kennedy
or Kennadi. Some input would be nice because we
have not quite decided the spelling. Thanks.

Just some pics of us having fun.

This is at nickelcade Jerick had such a blast. He also won a monster truck with the tickets we earned.



Jerick and I are helping papa ardean with the surround sound. He is such a big helper now.

Whitney and I just got done looking at some pics on the computer and I seen this one so I decided I would add it to tonights blog posting. I hope everyone enjoys the baby thing I think it is pretty cool. By the way thanks for everyones comments I really didn't think I would get that many. Well So long!

Jericks tonscils are finally gone!

Well I have not been able to find time to post anything because we have been taking care of Jerick. If you did not know he got his tonscils and adnoids out as well as tubes placed in his ears. He is such a trooper. He did so good while he was at the hospital, well except for the minor not swallowing his medicine. But all is well now that he is home.

My first ever blog posting!!

Hello! I have never had nor published on a blog so I am very new at this. I hope whoever stumbles upon my blog enjoys themselves and does not leave offended.
