Happy Birthday Kaylee Pack!

Kaylee Christine Pack, I cannot believe you are 2 years old today. Time has just flown by with you and your sister. You have filled our life with such joy over the past two years. We're not sure what we ever did without you. We love you so much. Continue to grow smart, continue to grow strong and know that your family loves you very much! Happy Birthday!

Today was Princess Pack's 2nd Birthday. I stayed up to the wee hours improving her princess dress Aunt Katie got her and lil baker Shane made yummy cupcakes and frosting from scratch! Then in the morning after a improv up do and some "sparky" shoes the Queen was ready for the day!
We had a lovely party in the park, Princess party of course although we did call it a "Royal Tea Party" to trick the little boys :) It was so nice to have such good friends and family there to help us celebrate! Kaylee got a little impatient about waiting to open the presents, but other than that she was great. She had all her "frens" there, treats and presents- so to her it was the best day ever! Thanks again to all that helped us celebrate!!HIGHLIGHTS
*We hear "oh my gosh" a lot! Its so funny!
*She is independent. Forget about what I want her to do or wear or anything...it is up to her now! She has opinions and knows exactly what she wants now.
*She thinks she is SO old. She calls people by their nicknames and talks on the phone.
*She is persuasive. Try telling her no thanks. Its impossible. Example:
K: mom you want some.
S: no thanks
K: mom want some (with eager head nod)
S: No I'm ok Kaylee
K: mom want some (even more eager head nod) yea, shur."
S: ok

*She is so smart. She says new things we didn't even know she knew about and surprises us daily!

4 months old!

Wow its a little late, sorry second child, but what the heck right. Kennady Lynn is 4 months old!
Highlights
*Poor thing is STILL all congested. I hate winter time. Never again.What a start to life huh!
*She is on the verge of rolling over...its just hard to give her tummy time when she can't breath that well :)
* She smiles and talks up a storm.
*She loves big sister Kaylee and the feeling is totally mutual! Kaylee talks and Kennady beams! Its so sweet.
*She is CONSTANTLY moving and wiggling.
*She grunts. Its quite the little sound. A little scary but funny too.

Sisters matchy matchy squared

Make new friends, but keep the old

One is Silver and the other is Gold! haha Whatever that means. However in the spirit of that weird little song we would like to say bon voyage to our beloved Cristina and Houston! You guys will be missed so much!

Stina you are an amazing friend and I am so glad we got the chance to get to know each other and become such wonderful friends. I love you!

Then to our dear Sibby who came to visit us last weekend after forever! It was great seeing you. It made me miss the good ol' BYU-I days. Sibby it has been too long, but you will always be one of my favs!

So to all "new" friends and "old" friends, and all other sorts of friends, thanks! We are grateful for the blessing you are in our lives.

What the WHAT!?!

Oops, she did it again! Well folks watch out. We're not sure how she did it, but we officially have a Britney Spears fan on our hands! I made the mistake of listening to "Womanizer" in the car and when the song stopped Kaylee said, "again mom." I of course thought it was pretty cute until I had to listen to the song 3 times on the way home. Then Shane and I were headed up to the Packs and our little Kay decides she wants to hear "her song." We turned on the CD and decided to make sure she really knew what she wanted by playing a few different songs and well here are the pictures!

"no, nother one"
The picture says it all!
Well Miss Spears, I hope you are happy. You seem to have bewitched my 2 year old. Drats

AND how can we forget that our dear MISS HALIE PACK got home from her mission in Thailand!!! We are so happy to have you back Aunt Halie. Welcome Home!

Kennady's Baby Blessing

This post is over due, since Kennady was blessed on the 5th, but I finally unloaded our 4G memory card. It took quite a bit of preparation on our old computer :)
WARNING: There are TONS of pictures in this post!
We were able to bless Kennady at the Packs home. In our faith we bless our babies when they are born. It was such an amazing experience. Around 50 of our family and closest friends came. It was so amazing to have so many people we love so much be there for Little Kennady and us.
We feel so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives. Shane gave such a sweet blessing to his little girl and she was an angel the whole time. Afterward we all enjoyed some yummy food and beautiful weather so overall it was a fantastic day.
So here they are, all 6 zillion of them :) Pictures from Kennady's baby blessing. Thank you everyone who was there! We love you so much! Enjoy!
