a HUGE long post to tie up the WEEK!

Ok most of this post will be pictures only. Jen came and visited us. We had a fun filled time. We went to Palmyra and saw all the church sites. Aidan was so precious he loved seeing and hearing about Joseph Smith. We then went into NYC and went site seeing. The kids were well behaved. Aidan calls Time Square the RAINY PLACE cause when we went through there all it did was RAIN. He had so much fun. His dad and him had quality time together.

Our 4th of July

My sweet bumblebee! She's always so bright and chipper!

Aidan being silly with his sister like ALWAYS......I doubt he'll ever be serious....

Daddy and Aidan by one of the smaller cannons

A picture of us looking over the hudson river!

Ben hates this picture. I like it! So who's the one who does the blog? Me so I win! He just doesn't like it cause I took it sitting on the ground so he thinks he looks fat! Uh if he's fat I'm a HIPPO!

Well our 4th of July was very different this year....well atleast for me. I am so used to the reunion my family has and having my family around. Its hard for me to not do everything with my family....good thing Mandy won't live too far from me. I don't care if she doesn't want to see me I'll be there and she'll still have to LOVE me! Anyway Ben had to be to work at 4pm. Go figure right? Such is life in the army. But we went to the park around 5pm and daddy helped us get seated. We walked around and saw the cannons and looked out over the river! The kids were really well behaved. Early in the day I hadn't felt to great and just kept on sleeping. Anyway as the night went on they shot the cannons around 8:15 and Aidan was DONE. Ben had even given us earplugs and they weren't working he was still terrified. By this time I was shaking and felt so sick. So I didn't mind leaving. Plus ladies and Gents.....West Point may BRAG about their fireworks. But they weren't the best! I've seen BETTER.........Anyway here are some pictures for you all to enjoy!

My sweet babies

My sweet little babies! I made them come out front and have pictures......Aidan was fussing she was too heavy. What a punk.
They are my world!

She's the best baby ever! I love her blue eyes.

She loved layin on the grass better then sitting!

My FAVORITE picture.......enough said.....

Trying to look for daddy! She doesn't like when he's outta sight!

Six months ago today....................

My big bright blue eye'd baby girl is six months old! She's growing up fast on us!

You were so little that mommy didn't dare put you in water so our cute nana bathed you in a tupperware bowl! Oh you were SO tiny!

This picture Kennedy looks SO much like me when I was a little girl. I hope she enjoys all these photos of taken of her while she was so tiny.

Aidan's very first time meeting his little sister. He thought it was so cool that she ate from her nose. I wonder if he'll remember that. Oh wait this will help them remember.

You are so precious. A lot of people would make fun of your huge bows but I always thought you looked so tiny and sweet and I loved when I had them on you!

My very first time holding you! I can't even describe the feeling I got. I felt so horrible that you had all those tubes on you and that when I held you they were able to take the breathing tubes off of you. I cried when I had to put you down cause I thought it wasn't fair that I just couldn't hold you forever. I missed out on so much that first month. I know that it was best for you to be in the hospital. I love you baby girl!

Kennedy,

I can't believe your six months old today. It blows my mind that six months ago today I went into the dr to see if he was going to be able to flip you and found out I had no amniotic fluid. So they took you emergency csection. You came into this world as a FIGHTER! And I'm forever greatful! You have changed our family tremendously. Your the light of my world and I wouldn't trade you for anything! Aidan adores you and has to be by you every second of the day! I know one day that you'll be right in tow with him enjoying those two legs god gave you! I'm so greatful

to heavenly father for giving me the opportunity to raise you! I pray that I won't fail you or mess you up! Keep growing to be a big girl and stay healthy and strong. Daddy and I are always here for anything! Your an amazing little girl and this past 6 months has been amazing. I love you my little Kenners!

Happy Summer

Aidan loves when mom goes out back and fills his pool for him to swim in. Kennedy doesn't really enjoy the water so much but she'll learn to be a fish. She'd rather be in the warm bath tub playing. Although she's learned this new habit thats horrible. She turns so she can drink the water! Disgusting! Hope your all enjoying your summer!

Happy Birthday Mandy Jo!

You've had a birthday shout hooray!

I want to sing to you today! One year older and wiser too!

Happy Birthday to you! Love you lots Mandy! Can't wait to see you! 16 weeks!!!!

Hope you had a good day Mandy we love you lots here at the Holladay residence!

Ok I promise last one tonight!

I had to take a picture of Kennedy sleeping today in the Love Sac! She's so cute. I'm trying to get her to take a binky cause she loves her fingers but now that she is starting to teeth she just bites them and gets upset she will SOMETIMES take it just to fall asleep! I'm just looking through all these pictures and I'm finding ones I wish I would have posted!!!

One more thing

one more thing.........................I LOVE THIS LITTLE GIRLS TONGUE AND THE THINGS SHE DOES WITH IT. She's hilarious and entertains us all!

To my little princess

This little girl is absolutely stunning. I can't even tell you how many people just had to stop and say hi to her at disneyworld. I am very much in love with her too. I love that I get to stay at home with my kiddos and play all day. Yes its stressful and sometimes I wish I was working mommy but when I finally take time to sit down and smell the roses I'm very greatful for a husband who provides for our family! I've got the perfect family! I remember thinking I was perfect just having one little boy! But I'm sure glad Kennedy snuck right in and came to us! She really completes our family and brings us much joy! I love you to the moon and back Kenners! Keep growing and learn lots!

To my Aidan!

Do you ever look at your children and think Wow! I'm one lucky girl to have this little kid! Aidan is so perfect (yes I know I'm his mom and I'm suppose to think that) but seriously. He's got the potential to grow up to be one SMART cookie. So lets hope his mommy doesn't screw that up for him! He's genius. We're potty training and he's already caught on. One quick question. How do you get them to go on potty's other then your own? He hates going on public potty's but he'll learn! I love you little buddy and love the joy you bring to my life everyday!
