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!

Pictures from Flordia

Okay guys here's some pictures from Flordia. Maybe during nap time I can elaborate! Aidan did very well just letting me load these!! We had a blast and Aidan was VERY ready for this vacation. He had such a blast. He even said he wanted to do splash mountain but I decided we'll wait for daddy to accompany him. Just so if he gets scared he doesn't hate me. I think his favorite ride was buzz lightyear spin. We got to shoot and defeat zurg. Loved loved loved it. He even did awesome standing in the LONG lines. Can't say that for many 2 year olds! Excellant time and def a memory to never forget! Back home to the rain but thats ok! Loving family time and relaxing. Thanks again Kathy for an adventure we'll never forget! Many inside laughs that no one will ever get! ha! Kennedy still loves you for sharing cotton candy! Breakfast with Goofy

Aidan's rough morning

Aidan on the teacups. The morning we were driving over and he got a whif of the outside smell and puked all over his shorts and blankie. So he was pantless for a bit until the dumb lady for alice in wonderland said he couldn't be photographed with her with just a diaper. Wow what has this world come too.......... So we went in the next store and all they had was boxers for BOYS so what did we buy?!?!? Boys boxers and Aidan thought he was SO cool with these big shorts on!

Aidan's turn meeting the pooh friends

Aidan was pretty much character friendly. I was nervous he would be scared cause he's not a fan of Santa Claus. But guess he just doesn't like the fat man in the red suit!!! We had fun meeting lots of characters and filling up our autograph books.

Pooh and Friends Breakfast

Kennedy meeting piglet!!!! Oh we had so much with Winnie The Pooh and Friends at breakfast!!!!!

Our Beach Bums!!!!!

We had so much fun in Flordia! Aidan was NOT a fan of the ocean. Didn't like the sand on his TOOTERS(toes). We had a blast......Thanks Kathy and Lamar!!!! We're already planning on next visit!!!

My little girl loves her tongue

Kennedy is facsinated with her tongue! I just love it. I'm so excited to go and have her meet Kathy! Kathy is the wonderful woman that made her wish quilt. Kathy is a REALLY good family friend and I have a hard time saying she's a friend cause she's family she's been there since I was LITTLE! Love you Kathy. And wish you could come too mom!

Aidan's got it too.

Poor Aidan is right along with his sister. He wouldn't even smile for the camera. He coughed so hard through the night that I just wanted to hold him all night but I couldn't hold both but luckily every time he woke up he'd go back to sleep. Get better buddy mickey mouse is so excited to rock the house with us next week! Love you!

Sick babies are no fun

My kids have gotten this cold that won't go away.....Kennedy hasn't been able to sleep well cause she can't breathe. Good thing for a swing that rocks her so she can sit up and sleep but still breathe. Get better soon Kenners cause mommy's starting to get it too. These germs get passed around so quickly! Love you to the moon and back sweet girl of mine!

Update

So things are going good. Ben got his orders and we will be leaving for the land of Alabama in mid october! So super excited! I haven't let myself make any friends here and I think its just cause my mind knows we will only be here a short time. So I'm home with nothing to do while Ben's at airborne school all of august so come on friends I need COMPANY!!!!!! The city that never sleeps is calling your name!!!!
Enjoy your weekend.

Needing to Vent so if you believe your perfect PLEASE DON"T READ!

Do you ever sit and ponder and wonder if your a good parent? Well I've been struggling with it lately. Everyone comments to me about how I just spend money, how my kids will know every swear word by the time they are 3, oh come on he's not that bad, etc etc....the LIST GOES ON AND ON................Well let me break it to you ALL! I'm not perfect and I never will be. Infact I'm to the point we're I've STOPPED trying to make it to the top in Heaven. I am who I am and I'm perfectly fine being ME! Take it or leave it! My kid drinks mtn dew, I laugh if he says a cuss word, I scream when I'm angry but that doesn't mean I don't love him and don't want the best for him. Yes daily I wish Ben could stay home and raise them and maybe he'd do a hell of a job but unfortunatly he loves the army and thats what he's best at. I sometimes wonder if my children would do better at a daycare while I was at work (heck maybe they'd learn how to be polite who knows) but then I sit and wonder what would be the point of having them then? I'm not saying you awesome mothers who have jobs are any less of a mom believe me I just am feeling a little lost in this world. I've always liked to do my own thing. I would KILL to have a job right now. I wish I could even figure it out to where I could work at night. But obviously heavenly father doesn't have that in my plans. So for now I will sit back and watch and half heartly give up. Such is life right?!?!? Enjoy your week!
