The greatest miracles

Kennedy Paige joined our eternal family on Tuesday July 21st, 2009. Those of you who have given birth hopefully have seen and felt the heavenly blessing it is to be able to bear and rear children. "To have a child is to have your heart forever walking around outside of your body." I feel this is true in every sense of my heart.

We are both feeling well and doing great. The birth was fabulous. I only pushed four or five times! The best part was that my darling mother was there. My mom has been at both my children's births. I think it is the neatest experience to have your mother-who gave all of life and love to you-see you give that for your child. It was a fabulous and memorable day that I am so thankful to be able to share with my mother. My whole family was able to come to the hospital afterwards and meet the sweet new addition! Thanks fam we love you all!

Our sweet little girl has arrived! I will post pictures soon! She was born Tuesday at 6:38 P.M. and is 8 lbs. 7 oz. and 20.5 inches long. We are healthy and feeling great! Keep an eye open for pictures soon!

My darling mother....

Saturday night my mother had a series of seizures. After some tests at the hospital we found she has 7 masses in her brain that are cancer. She is having a biopsy taken of them on Thursday. This will give us more answers: where is it coming from, how long has it been there, and what can we do to treat it. We are having a special fast Thursday for miracles on her behalf. If you would please extend your prayers and faith we would greatly appreciate it. We know the Lord hears and answers the prayers of his children. We believe in miracles! Thank you for your love and support!

The pregnant woman!

I have been teaching at Gold's Gym for over a year now. I love to teach for many reasons: I can motivate and push people to improve themselves, I can make others happy and feel better about themselves, I am going to work out so I might as well get paid for it, plus I have made some wonderful friendships there! I have continued to teach while pregnant----and I feel great! It makes a huge difference physically, emotionally and mentally!

I had to get a couple of shots with my belly!

I enjoy being pregnant. I know it can always be worse. I am on the homestretch....my back is hurting-but I am happy and healthy! I am currently dilated to almost a 3 and 50% effaced so in a week or two we will welcome our sweet baby girl! How excited and tired we are already!

Time with Dad....

I took Bentley over to see Byron at work a couple of times last week. He loves to work with dad----he's even getting the right buttons down-so he can move the tractor, and help work---I love that he and Byron have something in common!

What's better then water fights! Byron won-Bentley is getting some great practice! Byron had just gotten home from work-and we were outside watering the grass-party time! Byron and I have always been famous for water fights-especially in the house---they are so fun and spontaneous, they make me feel young and fun! You should try them!

Bentley loves bikes and dirt-and is always found with them...hence my bike helmet, and a shovel full of dirt! That's my boy!

Grandpa and Grandma's house is one of his favorite places for many reasons. A couple of which include: Grandpa and Grandma are there, they have bikes, a the riding tractor! He's just got it all figured out. He plays for hours outside and still is sad when we have to say goodbye!
