Kaelyn's Blessing

It was so wonderful to be able to experience the blessing of Kaelyn! The blessing was very neat and it was so nice to have so much family present. We were able to spend some time together after the blessing with a brunch at our house. Everyone contributed some delicious food and everyone was a great help! Thanks for being there!

Texas Roadhouse blessing-eve with the Durrant's. We were able to squeeze 8.5 into a 6 seater!

We can never ALL fit at one table! We were close though!

The beautiful baby!

I was lucky enough to be able to use the dress I was blessed in for Kaelyn. Thanks Mom for holding onto it for 24 years!

Family Photo. Everyone has big smiles because Crystal knows how to make us laugh! ;-)

Cousins! Lily, Harrison, Kaelyn and Crew.

And more cousins!


I couldn't resist taking this picture! Cute little Harrison.

I know this isn't the most flattering picture, but doesn't it show our true colors?!

Uncle Josh. Kaelyn is feelin' the love!

I had to leave Rigby in order to eat potatoes from Rigby.

So Precious

Yay! The Clevelanders are here!

I'm not sure how to explain this one... but harrison is cute!

She looks so tiny here. Just a burpin' away!

Abbey is so great with little ones. Kaelyn loved her!


I wonder what she's dreaming about... (I know this is randomly placed. Too bad.)


Would this be considered a tricycle?

Missed these two! What cuties.


Very into the parade...

Brock did a great job staining the basement floor.

It's so fun getting Kaelyn all dressed up. I'm so happy she can finally wear her jellies!


We're so lucky Grandpa Nevin can stop in often.

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!
