4 Years!!

December 8th marked 4 years of Kamrin and I being married! 4 years!! In some ways it seems like its been alot longer then that because it seems like we have always been married yet in other ways it seems like there is no way its been that long. In the last 4 years it seems like our entire lives have changed. Not very much is the same as it was when we got married. We have added a couple kids to our family since then which is the biggest chance. Im so thankful for this little family we have created together. I could go on and on about how I feel about Kamrin but I will spare you all the boredom lol. Happy 4th Anniversary Babe!! I love you so much!!!!

Christmas Card Pictures

I had this amazing plan to go get Kamdyns newborn pictures, Maddies 3rd birthday pictures and our updated family pictures all done when we brought the baby home from the hospital but life had kept us from doing it so far so I decided to do my own for now til life calms down a little. I love these 3!!

First Bath At Home

I always look forward to when my babies cord falls off so I can start giving them real baths. Kamdyns seemed to take alot longer to fall off then my other 2. Jaydan HATED baths when he was a newborn yet Maddie LOVED them so I was excited to see Kamdyns reaction. The verdict was he HATED it! He was screaming the whole time!

P.S. I gave him one last night and he LOVED it. He didnt cry at all til I took him out lol. Guess he is a mix of my other 2 :-)

Kamdyns Announcement Pictures

I wanted to take some pictures for Kamdyns birth announcements so we could order them at the same time we did our Christmas cards so I took MANY pictures of him trying to get a clear shot of his face with his eyes open. Do you know how hard that is with a newborn?? Here are a few of the MANY attempts.

Put my clothes back on!

Aww my binky!

Give me my binky back!!

Im so done with this mom!

Lol can you tell he just got the binky taken out :-)

Hmmmmm

No more pictures please

Fine I wont look at you then

Taking pictures is very tiring

Giving mom the cold shoulder

First 3 Weeks

Im not going to lie and say the last 3 weeks have been wonderful and easy with a new baby. Dont get me wrong having him here is wonderful and he is truly amazing but it has been far from easy. I forgot how physically and emotionally draining it is having a newborn. On top of that I still have 2 other kids that need me just as much. With how hard it has been I know we will make it through it. We just take it 1 day at a time. Having Kamdyn a part of our family is such a blessing. I am so thankful for him. Jaydan and Madyson have LOVED having a new baby brother!! They both cant get enough of him. I love watching them with him.

Kamdyn was 7 lbs 4 oz at birth and when I took him in when he was 4 days old he dropped to 6 lbs 6 oz. When he was 2 weeks and 2 days old he jumped up to 7 lbs 12 oz and at his last appt when he got circumcised he was exactly 3 weeks old he weighed 8 lbs 6 oz!! What a piggy I have!!

Here are some pics from the last few weeks. Hope you all enjoy them as much as I do!

Wing Coop Challenge

Most of my husbands family is very into food meaning they LOVE trying new things and eating all different sorts of food. Most have no fear when it comes to eating things that most would stay away from. A few Saturdays ago 4 of them decided to get together to do the Wing Coop challenge. For those of you who dont know what that is the Wing Coop is a place that sells wings and chicken tenders is tons of different sauces. The challenge is to eat 11 wings in 11 minutes. Sounds easy right?? Well its not. The 11 wings are cooked in the hottest sauce they have there that has ghost chili in it. To give you an idea how hot it is the workers wear masks when making them and wear gloves when handling them at all. Kamrin, his mom, his sister Shaless and his brother Landis were the brave (and crazy) 4 who were going to do it. The worker brought them out and started the clock. Kamrins mom finished hers first, Shaless came in second, Kamrin third and poor Landis quit after 1 and 1/2 wings. Watching them was pretty hilarious even with how miserable they looked. I guess it was funny cause they were doing it to themselves :-) After the challenge was over my kids were eating their chicken tenders pretending they were doing the challenge. It was so cute. Kamrin went back to work and I went to my grandmas house to pick the baby up and when Kamrin got home he told me that eating them was the easy part. I guess the aftermath when they get in your stomach is 1000 times worse. He told me he is so glad I wasnt with him because he thinks I would have called 911 from the way he was acting and after hearing what he went through I probably would have thinking that his stomach was exploding or something. Im glad I only got to see the red swollen face and tears running down their faces and not the TERRIBLE pain they all went through after. Even though they did do it to themselves it would have worried me alot seeing that. Do you think that scared them to never so a challenge like this again?? Of course not! Next challenge is hot sushi! CRAZIES!!

His mom almost done

Poor Landis was MISERABLE!

I cant help but laugh :-)

Breakfast With Santa

Saturday November 27th Kamrins grandma took us, our kids and Kamrins mom to Thanksgiving Point to do their breakfast with Santa. We got to our table and they had a plate of sugar cookies, frosting and sprinkles for the kids to decorate their own cookies. They had a buffet breakfast which was very yummy! While we were finishing eating Mrs Claus came out and brought a few friends out with her. A girl elf, buddy the elf, a polar bear and a gingerbread man. We all started singing Christmas carols together and out came Santa! Santa invited all the little kids to come sit on his lap. The line was long so we went and did the other activities first. They had face painting which Maddie got a candy cane on her cheek and Jay got a gingerbread man on his. They made countdown chains, marshmallow snowman, oreo penguins, reindeer tootsie pops, wrote letters to Santa and played some games!! I had never heard of this but I hope to make it our new tradition because it was AWESOME and so much fun for the kids!! A huge thanks to Gran for taking us and making it so special for our kids!!
