We had a fun weekend, Kenadie and I went down to SLC to visit aunt Mishell. We left here Friday evening and stayed the night at her place then on Saturday she took us to the zoo.
Yes who goes to the zoo when it is 101 outside.....you guessed it we did!!!
We were sad that we didn't get to see the baby elephant but at least we got to see this one!

Kenadie is right on track she is just a little bigger than the infant gorilla. She got to see the big gorilla up close he came right over to the glass. It kind of scared her she grabbed on it my shirt pretty tight.

This is one of the last animals we saw. Kenadie was so tired and was very hot....she was ready to be done.

Just after seeing the giraffe she put her head down on my shoulder and took a nap. We didn't even have a chance to ride the train while she was awake so we gave our tickets away!!

Thanks for a great weekend Mishell and for letting us come and enjoy time away from our everyday life!

Kenadie had her Neo-Natal follow up appt on Monday that is held by the State of Utah and she was seen by a Physician, Psycologist, Nutritionist, Audiologist, Opthamologist from PCMC. It was a long day but very good. She passed all of them with flying colors. The Dr was amazed that she has done as good as she has for being as tiny as she was. He was impressed with the things she has accomplished and the many things she escaped in the NICU. It makes me feel really good. Kenadie is up to 17 pounds 5 ounces. WOWSER!!
Just being as cute as can be at the park in Hyde Park during a family reunion on Saturday.

And YES.... we have a crawler!!! Kenadie is all over the place. 2 weeks ago I had just got done changing her pants and went to grab something in the other room and as I started to walk out of the room there she was. I was like what...... I was so excited for her but now I am so worn out!!

Kenadie loves to pull herself up to things and walk around them and she has even let go and stood by herself. I am so proud of my little girl for the accomplishments that she makes even though she may be a little slower at them than most she is amazing to me!!!

Last but not least........ Daddy said I couldn't be an AGGIE!!!!! Just kidding, the aggie bull was at the Ca County fair and she was so intrigued by him until I placed her in his arms and she was like get me out of her.

FINALLY!...... A tooth!

Kenadie got her first tooth it is on the left bottom side. I think more are on there way though the Doctor said that it looked like the top ones were close and I can see the other bottom one about to come through. (not the best picture but you can kind of see it :) )

Kenadie went for her year check up and everything is great, our DR. said it is time to start treating her like a 12 month old, she is on 2%milk....yeah no more formula!!!

She is still only 1% on the charts for her weight and 8% for her length and like 40ish% on her head. She has a real attitude and she isn't afraid to use it, she knows what she wants and how to get, I think I give in to easily! I am a sucker.....but I love her tons!!!

Can you believe it has been 1 year since Kenadie was born, today July 19 at 4:35 p.m. This sweet little girl entered our lives and they have never been the same. She has brought so much love and peace into my life, I love her to pieces!!! This is my sweetie just a few days after she is born, 1 lb. 15 oz.
This is my sweetie 1 year later at 15 lbs 14 ozs

We had Kenadie in her birthday suit for her cake eating moment and she seemed to like the plate- "paper cake" better than the real thing!!
She tasted a few licks but not much of a fan of cake I guess.

Not much of a fan either of the slimmy feeling on her fingers!

Ready for cake!!!!! Bring it on! (sorry kind of out of order)
We had a party at the park on Saturday for her and we must have worn her out, the picture says it all!!!
Playing with the great presents she got from her fun Grandparents, Aunts/Uncles and cousins!
Kenadie did great at opening the presents, she had no problem at all ripping out the tissue paper or ripping the presents open, she loved it!

Kenadie and daddy just waiting for us to sing
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you.....

Yeah for me I turned one and made it through my first year!!!

Hope everyone had a great 4th of July!

I know we did.....

We played outside

We went to Tammy's house for the fireworks, we were a little worried what Kenadie would do but she didn't even jump or cry at them. She watched them for a while then she got bored and was tired.
Daddy and Kenadie waiting for the fireworks to start.
Our family still waiting for the fireworks to start :)

Then we went with Mindee up to the Lewiston parade and then out to the Hyrum parade.

Kenadie had a little harder time she wasn't so sure about all the noises coming from the fire trucks and old cars honking there horns.

Daddy was in the Hyrum parade so we got to see him there, Kenadie has learned to clap it is so cute to watch her clap at things, here she is clapping for daddy in the parade!

We are so tired of all the rain,And LOOKING forward to the SUNSHINE!!!

Just a "few" more pictures

Exploring something new everyday
Kenadie LOVES to be outside
This past weekend my mom, Kenadie and I took off and went down to SLC for a party/baby reunion of the Reproductive Care Center. (Invitro doc). They had Ice cream and fun games for the kids. It was fun to see all the little miracles that have been brought into this world!
This is a picture of Dr Heiner, the doc that did my invitro.
It was a fun trip down, especially the shopping before and after!

Today Kenadie and I woke up and got ready and went over to Willow Park and walked with the march of dimes/march for babies. I thought I should some how support it and figured I could handle the 5 mile walk. I was amazed and in awe when I arrived and saw so many people there is group t-shirts supporting a family member, I got a little teary and my lip quivered. As I was sitting there waiting for it all to start, my mind went back to my story with Kenadie and how many more people have had this same experience and yet some even worse.

The Mission of the march of dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects and infant mortality. The told us today that $400,000 was raised in just Utah alone.

Kenadie was not so sure about the balloon!

Logan Regional Hospital had the starting line up which was escorted by a fire truck for the first block, we are off.....

Kenadie did great she fell asleep after the first 2 blocks and slept the whole way.....I can't believe I made it 5 miles, one thing I know.....you need good walking shoes and that I am out of shape.

I am very happy that I walked the entire 5 miles with out giving up. but I am sure glad it is over:)
