Catching up... a little bit

So it's been a month since I've posted! Kaelyn has grown and changed so much I can't believe it. But I've enjoyed it so much. I've taken SO many pictures to post but my laptop died and our temporary computer (Dell monitor, Mac mini computer) does not accept SDHC cards (high capacity). Sad story! So when I'm able to post pictures be prepared because there will be SO MANY!

Last weekend Kaelyn was blessed and we were lucky enough to have lots of family come out. It was such a great experience. It's so neat experiencing all these things first hand. You never really understand the joy that comes from it until it happening to you! We're so grateful for Kaelyn, she brings us so much joy and happiness!

Her personality hasn't really changed. She's still very hyper and active and curious and sweet. I'm starting to wonder if she's going to be a daddy's girl because she sure loves her dad! He can always calm her down or make her smile. So cute!

more pictures :-)

I can't believe Kaelyn is almost two weeks old! She's already changed so much and it's been fun to see her become more coordinated and aware of her surroundings. She has such a funny personality. Whenever she's awake she's so squirmy and fidgety, its so cute! This last weekend Nevin and Susan were able to come down to spend some time with us. We spent a few days together and watched the Idaho Falls fireworks from our house! Since Kaelyn was born we were finally able to finish painting her nursery. It is yet to be finished though! We are still so grateful to have her here with us and love her so much. She brings so much joy to our family!

Grandpa Nevin. She looks so tiny here!

Her first 4th of July and her little patriotic outfit!

Brock really helped me to finish striping Kaelyn's room. I couldn't have finished without him. Thanks to Brock and Liz for your help!

It was so nice that Amber was able to come up and visit for a little while.

So for almost the last full week now Kaelyn has been rolling over onto her belly all by herself. I've never caught the whole thing on camera. This footage starts with her on her side and she ends up on her belly, but she started from being on her back. Whenever we lay her on the floor on her back she gets so hyper and excited and she rolls herself over. It's so cute!

She's here!

We've had such a fun weekend! Our little Kaelyn Rae was born Friday, June 26 at 8:52 pm. She's healthy and so happy and so cute! Brock and I have already had so much fun with her. I was very lucky and had a quick labor. We were only in the hospital for a couple of hours before she was born. It was so amazing. I'm glad I can finally understand all other mothers when they talk about having their children. Just the immense joy and happiness that seems to come instantly after seeing your little baby. We're so grateful for her and just can't get enough of her!

It was so nice that my parents could make it Friday night since they're only a few hours away. Kaelyn loves all her family and loves being held! She's excited to see more of you!

We've only taken a few pictures so far but I think she is so beautiful so I want to share them! We had her first bath today and she loved it. We can't wait to keep spending time with her!

Pretending I feel no pain... haha!

First pic out of the womb! She was so wide-eyed and didn't make a noise.

Brock thought it was funny with her limp little legs hanging out!

Grandpa Durrant is always the baby hog!


First bath!


Look at that happy dad!


She had to have a bow since she's wearing blue :-)

Raeg's Graduation

Last week was Raegen's graduation. I headed down to Utah for the ceremony, but sadly Brock had to stay behind to fix our flooded home! The washing machine just had an issue and decided to leak everywhere. Anyway, the ceremony was great and Raeg looked so cute! I can't believe she's graduated from high school. That happened way too fast!

Congrats Raeg!

Now it's off to the U of U for landscaping!

The twins looked so pretty too! I can't believe they're all grown up!

We've moved!

We finally moved in to the new home we've been looking at for quite a while. It's so nice to finally be in, and have a little more space! We had lots of help, luckily, from Ernie, Lesli and Beau, as well as friends Ben and Diana Hull and Quinn and Amanda Anderson. We were able to pack everything up into a friend's snowmobile trailor and unpack it all into the house in one night! We had lots of heavy stuff so we're glad we had some rugged men to do the heavy lifting! I have a few pics of the home, but the inside pics are of before we moved in because right now its still quite unorganized! And we should have our basement floor finished soon so feel free to come visit and stay for a bit! We're so happy we'll have things ready for when our baby arrives!

Monday Nevin and Susan drove down with many housewarming gifts! Luckily they had an extra lawn mower, weed wacker, and washer and dryer for us to borrow. Talk about life savers! It was good to spend some time with them too.

(PS... these pictures are in a very random order! Sorry!)

It's been a while since I've posted, but there isn't alot going on around here! I still have my little bun in the oven, and she's just growing away! A couple of weeks ago my Mom and sisters, including Crystal, threw me a baby shower. They did such a great job! Crystal put a lot of her creativity into it! Of course I forgot my camera but she took pictures! They can be seen on her blog. Anyway, I was so grateful for all the people who came to the shower on their busy weekend! It was a lot of fun!

Tomorrow is moving day for us. I haven't wanted to post pictures of our new house yet because I don't want my hopes getting too high and have things end up falling through! We are moving in a little before closing so we're still a little nervous. We're so SO excited though! We got a really great deal with the way the market is going right now. And we've spent the last week packing and cleaning to get ready to move! I'm glad Brock is such an organized packer, I don't know what the place would look like if I were in charge! Haha! Anyway, Mom and Dad Durrant are coming up to help us move so we're pretty lucky!

So organized! Our neighbor actually thought this was our food storage! As much as I love it, that would be way to much cereal for the two of us!

We spent this past weekend with Zach and Chelsea Randall. On Thursday they had a fun Tongan themed reception, and Friday they were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They seem like a very happy couple and we wish them the best!
