Each day keeps going faster and faster. Before we know school will be here again, that is why I am trying to enjoy every day. Our schedules are about to slow down a bit after all of the basketball camps are finished. I only have one that I am doing this week at my school with Kerry. We are having a lot of fun with it and we love doing it for the kids.

Thought I would add some pictures that we took lately. This Sunday we are going over to my good friend Alison's house for her husband to take Kaylor's 3 month pictures (can't believe we are already at 3 months!!) This is the same guy that took a couple of pictures for her birth announcements. He does a great job and I can't wait to see how they turn out. I will update soon.

Another one after the bath

We don't have many of just Kerry and I anymore :)

It was so funny taking these pictures of Jaxon and Kaylor. They are already buddies :)

After Bath Time

Kaylor just absolutely LOVES getting a bath. When she is fussy to eat at her feeding before bed, I can always give her a bath and she forgets she is hungry. (She quickly remembers afterwards though). Last night Kerry took some video of her after the bath on her changing table. Thought I would add a video on here this time instead of pictures to mix it up.

Kerry's Birthday and the Doctor!!

Today is Kerry's birthday, which I did not see him until supper time. We went to eat at Shane's (yes, Shane's Ribshack)--he is pretty easy to please! This is where he chose after a long day in the gym. We also enjoyed desert at Maggie Moo's afterwards and then called it a night.

Today was also Kaylor's 2 month check up at the doctor. This was the one I have been dreading for a while now--the vaccinations!! I always heard my friends saying how hard it was for them to take their child to get shots. I always thought in my head "why, every kid has to get shots-why would you get so upset?" Well I was wrong, it was hard! Kerry could not even go with us! So here I am holding down my daughter as the nurse gave her three shots in the leg. The sad part was she was so happy on the table, smiling and cooing, and then it quickly went to a screaming cry (the one where they can't catch their breath). It broke my heart!! When I was finally able to pick her up, she just curled up tight against me in pain. It was all I could do to not start crying. I had tears just sitting in my eyes. I can tell her little legs are so sore tonight, but its all part of it. I'm just glad it is over with. She weighed 13 pounds 1 ounce and was 24 1/4 inches long. She was in the 95th percentile!! The doctor said she will be tall.

So it was an eventful day. Happy Birthday Kerry!!

Birthday Party

Summer has officially started and I feel busier now than when we were working. Kerry started basketball camps and practice, while I have been going to doctor's appointments and finishing school work.
Kaylor went to her first birthday party yesterday for my friends son Addison. He turned one year old and had an Elmo themed party. It was very cute and fun, I just wish Kaylor could have enjoyed it a little more. She was so great at the party though-she just sat in her carrier the whole time and looked around. It was kind of nice being the mom not chasing around my kid or worrying what they were getting in to (but I know I won't have this much longer) :)

Summer Time

Well I have not been doing a good job at updating my blog this month. I will get better, it is that I have been soooo busy. I went back to coaching Beech softball and we lost last night in the state championship. It was great to get back on the field, but it was very hard juggling that and little Kaylor. Thank goodness for my family being here for some babysitting (I don't think they cared too much :) I am also finishing up my Masters Degree and it is not a very good idea to try to go to school and have a newborn. I only have 4 weeks left until I am done, so I decided to push it out and finish. When I am at home with Kaylor, I really do not have a lot of down time. Between the feeding, pumping, laundry, cleaning, and school work, I feel like there is not enough time in the day. I will say that she has been sleeping for about 6-7 hours a night! Yes--my six 1/2 week old baby started this last week and I know I am very lucky for this. I hope she continues, it is great to get 6 hours of straight sleep!!


Kaylor Brooke is changing everyday-literally. Each day I see her she looks a little different and gets a little bigger. I try to take pictures and video of her all the time because of this. I will post the most recent pictures of her below and some of my favorites. If you noticed the very clear and professional looking picture of Kaylor at the top of my blog, it was taken by my great friend Alison Harris' husband Josh. He has started his own business of photography and he was nice enough to snap a couple of Kaylor when he came by to visit the other day. He does such a good job and I will be using him for her 3 month pictures soon!


I will be sure and do a better job at updating our blog. I am so glad summer time is here!

Kaylor during bathtime. She absolutely LOVES getting a bath.

Getting ready for bed after bath time. There is nothing sweeter than a baby after her bath, such a great baby smell!!

This is Kaylor's friend Jaxon, one of our best friend's son. We are neighbors and can not wait until they can start playing together. They were born 2 weeks apart.

She's Growing Everyday!

With Mom and Dad before the Doctor's Appointment

In Her Swing

The Great-Grandmothers:

Little Kaylor keeps changing and growing everyday. We went to her 2 week doctor's visit last Friday and she already weighed 10 pounds and grew to 22 and 1/4 inches. The doctor said she was growing very good!

This past weekend we had all of my Dad's family come in town to visit. It was great to see everyone and we all had so much fun with Kaylor. She is so loved by family and friends.

We are still trying to figure out a sleeping schedule. Some nights she will sleep up to four hours at a time and some she likes to wake up every hour, but I love every minute of being a new mom!

Kaylor Brooke is Here!!

Finally we have come home with our little girl. Kaylor was born last Tuesday, April 8th at 10:15 in the morning. She weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and was 21 1/2 inches long-BIG BABY to be a week early! Going back to the day before, I had my 39 week doctors visit. Right when I got in there they checked my blood pressure (which was high) and saw my increased swelling and the doctor casually said " Go check in to the hospital, it is time to have the baby". We had no bags and had no idea we were going in to have the doctor tell us she was inducing me.
They induced me at 2:00 a.m. on Tuesday and after a long night of waiting, she was delivered at 10:15 a.m. Unfortunately I had some complications after delivery and had to stay in the hospital until Sunday. The doctors would not let me have any visitors because of my high blood pressure, which I still have, so I did not get to see all of my friends. However we have a healthy baby girl that we are crazy about now. I am still very weak, but each day gets a little easier.
We appreciate all of the phone calls and prayers from everyone. We still need your prayers until my complications clear up, but we are so blessed to have such a healthy child. We will be in touch

with updates and pictures.
