April 2012

First, we will start out the month with Easter.  Kennedy was so excited to see what the Easter bunny brought for her this year.

Just preparing a few last minute items for our new baby. 

Kennedy thought she needed to try out the car seat to make sure it still works.

Kennedy also wanted Blake to carry her in the car seat.

Kennedy thought it would be cool to try on the elk antlers.

Oh so little.

Kennedy one day found some old knee highs of mine and wanted to play dress up with her "new" socks. She was hitting a fashion trend and didn't even know it.

Sorry so blurry.

Kennedy was in the car a lot this month go back and forth with my parents to the hospital.

Kennedy lovin' her new sister. 

Hopefully they stay best friends.

One week old.  She looks like a little boy without a bow.

My friend Kenzie came to the hospital and the house and took some really cute pictures for me.

Love Kennedy's expression.

I really like my pictures to go in order but this post is a bit out of order.  I was able to unload some pictures before blogger decided to have an issue with loading pictures in html format.

Before we had Lexi, Kennedy was obsessed with going to the park.  We decided to purchase a swing set and bring the park to us.  One of the main reasons we bought the play set, was I didn't plan on walking very far after having a second c-section.  Kennedy loved the idea of having her own park.

Blake took on the challenge to build the swing set himself.

He did this after we got home with Lexi from the hospital.

The play set came in all individual parts.

Our builder.

Kennedy's First slide

My grandma Connie offered to come help one day after coming home from the hospital.  I don't think she knew what she was getting into.  Kennedy conned Great Grandma to play "house" with the new play set.

The new swings put to use.

Kennedy also picked up something.  She is "trying" to get milk for her play babies.
