Kyren and Kade

So Kyren's little buddy Kade and him have so much fun together! A few weeks ago, we were at Amber and Kevin's house hanging out. They tried Kade's Spiderman costume on him to make sure it fits for Halloween. Kyren was of course ecstatic! It's one of those costumes that shows the muscles on it. Kyren ran over and ran his hands over Kade's "six pack". Then he said, "Wow Kade! You're body's amazing!" Hehe he cracks me up!

Updated blog...I know what you're thinking...finally!

I know I know...I'm terrible at updating this! And once again...I think I will be getting better at it soon. I promised myself I would get it completely updated before I went to Arizona (we leave Wednesday) A few things have happened in our lives lately. Zoe finally got her first tooth about a week after her first birthday. It was her top left tooth. She then got her bottom right a couple days after that and her top right a couple days after that. Yes my baby finally has three teeth...they're obviously not in far enough to do her much good, but we are definately getting there. I was offered a job at Stevens Henager College about 2 weeks ago and I start tomorrow. I am absolutely ecstatic about this position. I was driving 49 miles and now I will be driving 8. It has so many benefits and opportunities that go with it that I couldn't pass it up. It was a little sad to leave my other job (Friday was my last day), but I am really looking forward to the new position! I will be doing administrative duties for the Admissions Department. This comes with a raise and did I mention it's 8 miles from my house!?!? Another new thing is Angelica, Jose's little sister had her baby girl, Anaiyah Maryssa Rosales on Monday, March 22, 2010. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 1 oz. 20 1/2 inches long. She is absolutely beautiful. Looks a LOT like her momma! That is why we are going to Arizona on Wednesday!!! I will post pictures when we get home.

Zoe's First Haircut

Zoe got her first haircut last night 3/27/10. Her hair was quite long in some places and not others so I needed to even it up a little so I can do more hairstyles with it. She did NOT like this process. But hopefully we won't have to do it too often.

Zoe's 1st Birthday!!!

We had Zoe's birthday party the Sunday before her birthday, February 21st, 2010, it was of course and blast and almost everyone came. I made cupcakes and they were delicious. We had Hawaiian Haystacks...yum...thanks Pyp for teaching us all how to make them! I really can't believe my baby is one.

Some More Kyren Artwork

Some of these drawings are in appropriate places, such as paper, others, not so much, such as Kyren's walls. Luckily it was with washable marker and washed right off. I had to take pictures though...I think he draws very well for a 3 year old. He's already better than his momma...I think we've got another Jose on our hands Ü

Christmas 2009

Here is some of our Christmas pictures

Thanksgiving 2009

Here is some of our Thanksgiving fun in Mesquite at Colleen's house!

Zoelicious is one!!!

My precious little angel is one today! It's so crazy that one year ago today I held my 5 lb 7 oz, 18 in sweetheart for the first time. I was so extremely nervous to have two children. If you know Kyren, you know exactly why I would be nervous. You see this little sweetheart's big brother can be quite the handful (actually he's always a handful). But that's also what we love about him! And the closer time came to meeting our little Zoe, the more anxious I got about if I could handle TWO Kyrens. Well turns out, she was exactly what our little growing family needed. She is the sweetest, most girly little lady! I absolutely love her!!! She has brought so much joy and fun to our lifes over this last year.
Here are a couple of things about Zoe:
She was Born on February 24, 2009 (What would have been my Grandma Sorenson's 100th Birthday)
Born at 3:49 a.m.
I pushed one tiny practice push and on the next push she came completely out, head and body.
She weighed a tiny 5 lbs 7 oz
18 inches long
Zoe started sleeping through the night completely at 8 weeks
I was actually able to nurse Zoe (Breastfeeding is really hard for my tiny babies' mouths)
Nursing took us 7 weeks to get down, then I dried up shortly after going back to work when she was 6 months old
She didn't roll very much
She sat up at 5 months
crawled at 7 months
was almost 7 months before she would eat baby food
stood up in the middle of the floor at 7 1/2 months
walked at 11 months
She says mama and dada
she's a total mommy's girl
Loves to snuggle and get tickled.
Absolutely adores her big brother ( I love the bond they have, they love each other so much, but also love to pester each other)
She loves dolls and stuffed animals
She LOVES to eat too
And she still has NO teeth ( I can see three coming in, but they have not broken through yet)

We had her birthday party on Sunday and will be going out to dinner tonight to celebrate. I will post pictures soon!
I love this little lady with all my heart and I'm so proud to call her mine.
