Back to Blogging~

I am back to do some personal blogging since I blog for Dolls for Daughters. This blog gives me the chance to update on our life and what we have going on.. Since I blogged in Feb a lot has changed!

Karson turned 2! What a wonderful year he has had. No more meds, no more weekly doctor visits, no more monthly hospital visits. We changed doctors and that made all the difference. Karson is doing great and loving life. He is ALL boy. He loves to play cars, trucks, get into the dirt, play in the water and be with his siblings. He currently is in LOVE with his Daddy. He is all about his Daddy! Karson has started preschool as well. He goes M-F in the mornings. He loves going to school and comes home ready for mac-n-cheese and bed.

Kamden has outgrown his terrible 2.5-3.5 year. Wow it was a long one but he is on the other side and such a joy to be around. He has always been a loving kid but he could have some fits for no reason and it was just old. However now he is turning into such a big boy. He goes to preschool all day now - he choice. Last April he asked why he didn't go to school all day. He wanted to go to school all day and have lunch at school like Bailey does. So his wish was granted and now he goes to school all day except Friday when all the kids go to Grandma's. Kam is playing soccer again this fall and is looking forward to it. He has done it for a year now. He continues to be in love with me, his MOMMY. However he will flirt with any pretty girl he sees.

Bailey is 7! Her favorite color is "laser green" but it is too hard to see. Bailey has had a lot going on since my last blog. She spent the spring playing soccer and loving it. She learned what it is like to play in the rain and cold (I grew up playing in snow). She moved from the co-ed team she had played with since she was 3 to an all girls team. (We sure missed our friends from the co-ed team). Bailey also swam on the swim team all summer at our pool. She was practicing from the very beginning with the older kids for her age group (8 and under). In her first meet she did 4 races and did them well for never doing it before. She finished the year with improved times each meet. This fall she wants to work on her dives off the blocks and her flip turns to use in her longer races. She will continue to play soccer as well. She read at least 25 books over the summer. Some were easy books for her but books she enjoyed. Bailey started 2nd grade and loves school.

I am super busy with Dolls for Daughters and Kenzi's Kidz. My other love. I am so blessed to be doing this work and making a difference because of Kenzi. We finished our first year with our Kenzi's Kidz family and it was amazing! We now are helping two families through that program. We kick off our annual Toy Drive October 1st but not before we have our Bidz 4 Kidz Silent Auction on September 24th. Make it a point to be there- it will be a night to remember.

Kyle and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary this July. We have been together for 12 years but married for 5. We spent a few days in Vegas just the two of us and had a great time. Kyle continues to stay super busy at the firm.

Overall life is good! In my spare time I read as much as I can. I have read some amazing books this summer. One I just finished was Heaven is For Real. I thought it was a great book. It touched on personal experiences I had with the loss of Kenzi and my miscarriage the Monday before Kyle and I were married.

Keep checking back, it won't be months before I post again.
