Blessing and 2!!

We had a very eventful couple of days on Sunday and Monday. On Sunday Landon blessed Andrew. We joked that we couldn't wait another month because Andrew would be too heavy. Well that and I would have had to exchange his blessing outfit for a larger size. Landon did a great job, so did Andrew. We had a little get together afterwards at Landon's parent's house. All of our family was there to support us and we were so thankful that everyone could come.

The babe...2 months old now! He is such a happy baby and is always ready to smile. I can't imagine our family without him. We are in love with our baby boy!


On Monday Kinnie turned 2!!!!

It is hard to believe that she is 2 already. Where did that last year go? She brings so much joy and happiness into our home. It is so fun to watch her personality grow as she experiences new things. She has a great imagination and plays so well. She loves to pretend and take care of her baby dolls. She is a wonderful big sister and adores her little brother. She loves Elmo and Barney. She loves to help around the house and helps me with Andrew. I still can't get enough of her!

We started out the day by going to Grandpa and Grandma Bruschke's house to visit and open her gift from them. She was very excited to open her first gift.

Then we took her to The Living Planet Aquarium. She loved it, a little timid with the crowds, but she was pretty fascinated by it. She loved the "Nemo" fish and the really big fish. This is her "cheese" smile.

Looking at the tank of Sting Ray. Perhaps a nervous pick of the lip. She started the habit a few weeks ago...


Kinnie's birthday is special because she shares it with her Grandpa Bell. We went over to Grandpa and Grandma Bell's house for a BBQ to celebrate her birthday along with Grandpa, and Grandma whose birthday is the day after Kinnie's. Cutting the cake with her birthday buddy.


Opening presents, (we did a little last minute shopping at the aquarium).





2 YEARS OLD

Awww, Andrew is so adorable. I swear you just gave birth to Kinnie. Time really does fly. I love her two little fingers telling us how old she is!

Isn't is crazy how having a baby makes the older child seem so big?! She is so cute (they both are). Elmo and Barney are Addison's favorites too (even thouse Chad really hates that I let her watch Barney...).

Yea what a great time!!! Congratulations on the baby blessing. I can't believe Kinnie is two already and that and that Andrew is here and already being blessed. It goes so fast!!! Maybe that because of all the sleep deprivation. I feel like we just had Kinnie and Neve! Kinnie must be loving her little brother! It only gets to be more and more fun! Congrats again!!!!!
