Washington is Dead?!?!

Me and Stephen were watching the new show on the History Channel called "America the Story of Us" the other day while Kensley was running around the room and playing. At one point in the show they were talking about George Washington and all of the sudden Kensley stops playing and this is the conversation that ensues:
Kensley: Is Washington a good guy?
Stephen: Yes, Washington is a very good guy. (He then starts rambling out a bunch of facts of why Washington is, in fact, a good guy).
Kensley: Oh! Washington is a good guy. Where does he live?
Me: (I just decide to go with the truth) He is dead. But it's okay, he died a while ago. (Stephen then starts rattling off dates of when he lived and died).
Kensley: OH NO! Washington is dead?!?!?!
Me and Stephen couldn't stop laughing, but Kensley was truly upset to discover that George Washington is, in fact, dead!

Little Miss Chubs

Pyper had her four-month well check visit at the doctor today. I no longer have a little tiny preemie baby. That part has been pretty obvious for a while now but it was confirmed today. She is actually on the charts now for the first time. She was 13 lbs 2 oz which puts her in the 40th percentile for weight. She was 23 inches long and in the 11th percentile for height. Her head circumference is 41 cm and in the 53rd percentile. So, still a bit small for her age, but totally catching up. At previous appointments she wasn't even on the chart at all. On a sidenote, my breast pump just kicked the bucket today and I am unwilling to buy a new one. So, my only options are to either let my milk dry up or force her to nurse...I will try the nursing route and see how it goes. She gets a little mad at me when I try to nurse and definitely prefers a bottle so we will see how it goes. Looking at the bright side of things, it will save me time not having to pump every 2 1/2 hrs all day every day to try and keep up my milk supply.

Miss Pyper

We finally got some pictures of Pyper in her blessing dress a couple weeks ago and just in time too. It barey fit! :o) I should be calling her Little Miss Chunky!

Miss Kensley

We went to the Mesa Temple a few weeks ago and took pictures of Kensley in her Easter Dress.

Four Months Old!

Just Because...

She is so darn cute! :o)

Daddy Got Spanked!

Tonight Stephen had a ward softball game and Kensley was his biggest fan shouting out encouragement throughout the whole game. She kept saying "Dad, you have five seconds to catch the ball!" Whenever she saw him out in the field she would yell things at the top of her lungs like "Go Daddy!" and "Good job!". Unfortunately, his team didn't do very well and were losing by quite a lot and I said something about the other team spanking his team so Kensley spent the rest of the night talking about how Daddy got spanked! Whenever he came back into the dugout she would tell him to stop getting spanked! It was pretty funny. They lost the game 28-9 so he really did get spanked!
