Fun on the 4th

We had a wonderful 4th of July holiday!! We picked up Kennedy & Caleb's Aunt Brittany on Wednesday to spend the holiday weekend with us. Having a teenager around is great fun, help for mommy and a playmate for the kiddos. Kennedy adores her! We spent Thursday at storytime, dance, the mall, and Chuck E Cheese!! A busy day, we finished off the night making a cake for our neighborhood 4th celebration and decorating the kids wagon for the OC parade!! While making our cake Kennedy asked whose birthday it was and I told her America. She said, "Whose America," oh the funny things kids say!!

The 4th started with the parade, which the wagon float won 1st in, having a baby in the float won the judges over!! Next, we went to the pool for a few hours until it started raining, then home for naps, and fireworks that night at the Bryant Family Fest. Kennedy was overwhelmed by the loudness of the fireworks, so we made an early exit! It was a fun day, Happy Birthday America!!

Caleb's 1st PB Trip

We took Caleb to meet his cousins, aunts, uncles, and great-granny on Saturday. We had a great time and all the boys loved Baby Caleb. Cousin Winn said he wants a baby and Andrew said he did not understand "all that pushing and stuff" ha,ha.

Life as a Big Sister

Being a big sister is hard work!!

It takes lots of cuddling, creativity,
athleticism,
and cooking!
Caleb does not always appreciate her skills!!

3 weeks old

Caleb is 3 weeks old today!! He weighs 8lbs. 13 0z. He has his first cold so we made a trip to the doctor's office today, our new hangout!! It is no big deal, just wanted to make sure it was not in his lungs and it is not. Here are some pics. from today with his first hat and last week from his photo shoot with Mrs. Gretchen!

Weekend Pics

Caleb's second week and weekend were eventful once again! The reality of having two children is setting in now that we are back to getting out and about! Today, I went to Target and decided to put Caleb in the stroller and had Kennedy help push. I didn't think I needed a buggy, but realized in the middle of the store I could not fit a step stool under the stroller, duh, so I asked them to hold my stroller at customer service and loaded the kids into a buggy and back for the step stool, then had to have help out to my car!! I will catch on after a few more outings,hopefully!

Last Wednesday, Kennedy dislocated her elbow. She slipped down the front of the chair that I was nursing in and said "I broke my arm." I thought she was kidding, then realized she really was hurt. Dave took her to Children's ER; it was after 5:00, so no doctors office, and they popped it back in. Then, Monday morning she woke up saying her other elbow hurt, so back to the doctor and sure enough it was dislocated as well!! We have no idea how it happened this time but she was so brave and didn't cry either time getting it popped back in!!

Needless to say, I think this is just the beginning of being a mom with two kiddos!! Seriously, with all the excitement and injuries it is still going great and we feel so blessed to have these two beautiful babies!!

Weekend Fun

We had an action packed weekend with Papaw and Aunt Brittany visiting on Saturday, swimming, chruch, and GiGi and Uncle Chase visiting on Sunday! Making it to chruch the second time around was a lot easier. I don't think we took Kennedy until she was like 3 months old, how things change. We are so much more comfortable this time around and don't freak out about the small stuff!
