CATCH UP!

Hi mommy! I am off to Nursery for the first time! CHEESE!

We went to jump on it with my cousins and my brother and his wife a couple of weeks ago and the kids had quite a good time!

Abby liked these trampolines better because they didn't bounce as much!

JUMP!

I took the girls to go get hair cuts last weekend, Abby's hair was out of control and Lyla was growing some sort of tail...

So cute all flipped out!!

Abby got a bob...

side view...

Abby has weird hair that is super difficult in the back so this new cut does help alot!!

My brother AJ and his family left on their way to their new home but before they did we got the girls together for one last play date! They had fun and before we left they played a few games of ring around the rosy!

All fall DOWN!

Again!

Everyone together...CHEESE!

We finally have a new baby cousin on the Keddington side...meet DAXTON LAVEL KEDDINGTON!

Wow, I haven't been very good at posting lately! Starting from the top my sweet baby Lyla Belle is now in nursery!! She loves it so much!!! I can't believe how fast she has grown up!! Jump on it was so much fun and the kiddos had a blast, Abby didn't want to jump for a while because she was scared but then we found some trampolines that weren't so bouncy and she had a blast on those! I got the girls hair cut for the summer and also in preparation for their Aunt Alicia's wedding in June. I think they look so cute! It makes Abby look so grown up!

A new time in our life has started...my brother AJ no longer lives in Utah and that really is going to take a bit of getting used to. Spencer and I have been taking the girls to Provo almost every week to have play dates with their cousins so it's gonna be hard! We will miss seeing you guys!!

The newest of news is that there is finally a cousin on the Keddington side for my girlies to play with!!! He is so cute!!

It's a...

BOY! So thanks to the fact that my three and a half year old was present during my ultrasound it was pretty obvious that I couldn't keep my little secret too long. Spencer and I are excited for the new adventure of rasing a boy. It should be pretty interesting!!

Oh to be a Mother...

This is a photo of my sweet girlies before we went to get Uncle Derrick from the airport...sadly after this my camera died and we couldn't get it to recharge FOREVER!!! So since the beginning of April I haven't gotten any pics of my girls which really frustrated me... So last night I labored tirelessly to figure it out and Spence and I finally got it to charge so I took photos of my anniversary present and my mother's day gifts.
First on the list is this ladies...

I kept telling Spencer that five years was the DIAMOND anniversary!! So yeah, he believed me! ; )
My sweet Abigale got me this necklace for Mother's Day.

I also got these flowers from my hubby and Lyla made me a cookie flower in nursery. YUM! I also got chocolate covered strawberries which are not pictured but were very yummy!

This year we have a sweet bunch of boys in our home which got me these roses and all signed a card for me as well. We have a boy from Hawaii and he got me macadamia nut clusters...YUMMO! The best thing that I got was this sweet decoration...from our live-in Spencer C.

When it is flipped over it has this on it...

It's a wooden PADDLE!! And all of my boys signed and wrote little notes on it to me! Some like, Mommy Please Don't Beat Me...

Now I am not saying I abuse the kiddos I work with, but sometimes they need a little love tap...so thanks for making it easy to grab off the wall!

As this Mother's Day has come and gone I look back and reflect on the fact that I LOVE BEING A MOTHER! Not only to my own children, which are the cutest in the world, but also to my boys. It really is hard for me not to become attached to these wonderful kids and I am so grateful that I am in a position to influence them in their lives.

I also want to send a shout out to my hubby for making me a mother. I wouldn't want to have done it with anyone else. I love you Spence!

Also another shout out to my mom as well as Spencer's mom. They are both wonderful women and influence me everyday. I love you guys!
