6 months

Believe it or not, Kennedy is 6 months old already. She had her check up this week. She is 18 pounds 11 ounces and 27 and 1/2 inches long. The doctor estimates that she will be about 5'7", well, I will be passed up by all of my kids apparently. The doctor was just amazed at how pleasant she is. He kept commenting, "is she always this good" "Look at her eye contact, she is very social, does she always smile? " I think he was charmed by her pretty quickly.

Kassidy was teaching her horse how to do the barrels yesterday, (I think it was actually the other way around, but that's OK.) She is gaining her confidence quickly. I have never seen someone with such a natural seat in the saddle. She gets that from her daddy. They had fun playing tag and follow the leader.

On a sadder note, we found out today that our birthfather has appealed for custody again. I thought that we were past the possibility, but I was wrong. We don't have much information yet. I am amazed at how much more difficult adoption is than child birth, It truly is a miracle how the Lord makes it work out. The evidence of satan's influence over the hearts of some trying to stop this process is truly terrifying.

He will not win.

SHE BELONGS IN OUR HOME AS OUR ETERNAL DAUGHTER.

an Ah Ha moment

I had some sweats and a teeshirt on the other day and I walked into the living room. Kassidy yelled "MOM" like something was on fire, I said what, she said

"Your baby is poking out"

Apparently I am starting to show...

Pictures

I tried to take some portraits with my new camera, mostly because my girls are so stinkin cute. let me know what you think!!!

Vacation Finally

We went on vacation to Dads house. We had a great time. Kennedy did really well on the Really long drive. We went to a zoo, the lion was the best. We also went to a little mining community that has wild burrows in the street. Kass had a lot of fun feeding them. We had a great time with Nana and Papa. Kassidy had big tears when we left, as usual. Kennedy had them wrapped around her finger in about 2 minutes. We went to the cheesecake factory, it was awesome. Kassidy and Nana and Papa went to the Cracker Barrel, it is their special place where they have a date. Kass came home with a WebKinz. She named it nancy and is having a great time with it. We had such a great time, Thank you Nana and Papa, we appreciate your love and support!!!

Sweet Face

She is just so cute.

New Camera

Mom gave me this super cool canon rebel camera. The shutter speed is awesome.

Mom spent the day with us last week, I slept, she played with Kennedy, Kass got out of school early, we both got perms, (my hair is really hard to perm and the best perm I ever has was when I was prego with Kass, so we thought we should take advantage) Anyway, Kass got her first perm, mom said she complained less than I did

( I think she was nicer to Kass)

Thanks for the great hair Mom, your the best.

Before.......After

Sister has me Stylin. I Finally got some Idaho potato's, dirt and all!!!!!


Kass is getting into the feeding game. Kassidy and Miranda are up to something???? They look pretty guilty to me.

Seriously Dad, put these on me.... I could crawl if only I could get this belly off of the ground.

We are so close to holding a bottle,,,,, so close

Kennedy and our caseworker Marisa. We love her.

Calf Boy

Travis is a big dude, but is he really this big????

See if you can figure out whats up with this picture!!!!

These are miniature angus beef cows, apparently they give you lots of beef for not much feed.

Nausea

Well, we have reached the coveted 12 week mark with the pregnancy. Hopefully, this little tike will stay put for 28 more weeks. ( it needs to not be born before Easter which is on the 12th of April). I was taking paperwork for the adoption to the doctors office the other day and it occured to me that I can schedule Kennedy's 1 year appointment at the same time as the baby's 2 week. Well, at least its a time saver.

My body is not sure how to handle this eating thing. Do I eat at midnight, well, yes if I am at work, not so much if I am in bed. So basically, I am nauseated too often, I have lost 10 pounds, none of my cloths fit and I can't buy new ones because I will be all tummy in a few weeks.... Frustrating. My blood pressure is in the toilet- thanks grandma- and nothing - I mean NOTHING tastes good. Not even salsa and, if you know me at all, you know thats a problem!!!

Kennedy is rolling over pretty consistently, she acts like she wants to crawl, if she could get her belly off of the ground, she would be outta there.

Travis didn't get the Forest Service job, he was a little bummed but his boss was really happy!! He played cowboy all week last week. I call the "range" where he goes and rides, his mistress. He is always so happy there. He is liking his roan horse better since he has been riding him so much this year, he is a sweet horse, I am glad he is working out. He will never be a Hancock, but, he is close.

Kassidy is enjoying school. her new thing is to draw bugs, I will post one next week. She must get her artistic talent from my mom, she is just a natural. Unfortunately, she draws while she should be doing other stuff!!! Oh well. lessons to learn I guess.
