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!

Easter!

So we did Easter on Saturday this year because Spencer and I got to work on Easter..(not complaining...thanks extra $300.00 for the holiday) Anyway, here is a photo of my girls after they found their baskets that the Easter Bunny hid for them!
Abigale was such a good egg hunter...
Lyla would go for one egg and then see others and get so distracted! It was too cute! She did very well too!
LOOK CHOCOLATE!!
Lyla popped this malt egg into her mouth before I even had a chance of trying to stop her!! She thought it was yummy!
My mom and dad came up to Centerville this year and did an egg hunt just for our girls as they did one earlier in the day in Provo for the other grandbabies. Lyla took a spill down the stairs at Keddington's...geez this kid if gonna kill me from STRESS!! I hope that everyone enjoyed their Easter Holiday and that they took the time out to remember Jesus and his resurrection that gave all of us the ability to live again!

EGGS!

Yesterday we took the girls to Provo to dye eggs for Easter. Don't mind that they are all missing their clothing...we didn't want stains!! So here is a pic of Tori, Mayli, and Abigale having fun dyeing their eggs!
This is a pic of Abby's dyeing station. She had a ton of fun and even ate two of her colored eggs when we went home! Lyla was taking a nap so she missed out on the fun!!

Last year we did this as well and it is a great Easter tradition. At least this year we will eat them!! Last year we ended up eating none of them and threw them all away...what a waste!

We are looking forward to this weekend to do egg hunts for the girls with their grandparents!!

WOW

It has been a while since my last post! SORRY! Let me catch you up on some of the recent happenings of our life!

Here is a photo of my two girlies! They are getting so big!
Lyla got her cast off...which was a very scary experience for her. Abby seemed to enjoy the whole thing and was laughing the entire time.
One of the reasons I love St. Patrick's Day...Left over corned beef for a lovely Ruben sandwich! YUM!!!
Here is a late photo of my girls in their Valentine's outfits. Lyla had her cast on when the holiday was and I really didn't want it in the photo...so here is one I took in March instead!
My sweet Lyla Belle is such a dare devil...yesterday on the 27th we were helping Spencer's parents plant some flowers in their front yard, and I ran in the house to put something on the counter. As soon as I entered the house I heard Lyla screaming...so I went outside to see what happened. They had taken their eyes off of her for twenty seconds and she climbed up the two cement steps at the porch and fell and biffed it right onto her face! She is such a trooper though! It helped her front tooth break the gum line but it was bleeding quite alot...
Here is a big CHEESE for the camera, also some of the many scratches all over the side of her face.
Yeah we are quite surprised that she is still alive really because she is quite the dare devil....


I am not sure how many of you actually look at the very bottom of my blog page but if you had you would know for a few weeks now that Spencer and I are again expecting our third child. We are very excited and I have made it to 11 weeks (almost) with no complications which we are very grateful for. Hopefully all goes as planned and we will be welcoming a new one to our family in Sept/Oct!
