MIA

So I've definitely been MIA when it comes to the blogging world for about the past month. I don't really have any legitimate excuses, except for the fact that Nate takes his computer with him every day and then when he gets home (usually 8:15 or later, sometimes 10:00), we eat dinner, feed Kayley, give her a bath and put her to bed. I'm sorry to say, but by that time, blogging is the last thing that I want to do. I will try really hard to work on an update of the past month throughout this week. Now that wasn't a promise Aimee, it was an "I'll try really hard", so we'll see what happens! :) This is just a heads up that as I add posts I'm going to post them on the actual dates that they happened, so if you want to read about the last month then you'll just have to scroll down and keep a look out for recent updates.

An awesome photographer

We finally got some professional pictures taken of Kayley. Our sweet friend Sherry Ward, who is in YW's with me and is one of Nate's home teaching families, is an amazing photographer and offered to take some pictures of Kayley for us. I was so happy with how they turned out and would recommend her to anyone. She is really talented and it was really fun! As soon as I lose some of this baby weight, we are going to have her take some family pictures of us.
I was so glad that Nate was able to take a little break from work so that he could be there for the pictures. I need to publicly apologize to Sherry for what happened during the photo shoot. Although it was somewhat humorous, I feel so bad!! So this is what happened... we decided that it would be fun to take some naked pictures of Kayley and Sherry had a cute back drop all set up that would be perfect. She told us to take off Kayley's diaper and lay her down on the pillow that she had underneath the black back drop. She said that she used their king size pillows that they have on their bed. I warned her that without fail, almost every time we take off Kayley's diaper for more than a few seconds, we end up regretting it because she will decide to poop or pee all over the place. I'm sure you can imagine what happened. Everything was going well until we turned her over on her back after having taken several pictures in the fetal position. She let gas and Nate looked down and told me that a little tiny bit of poop had come out. As I was in the process of quickly grabbing a wipe from the diaper bag to clean up the little spot, I looked over and Kayley was peeing everywhere!! It shot out like a little geyser all over the back drop and yes, all over Sherry's pillow! We tried to clean it up the best that we could but the pillow was totally soiled in the middle. Sherry was so sweet about it. She said, "Well, I guess that's Jory's pillow now!" I can deal with Kayley pooping or peeing or spitting up all over me because I'm definitely used to it by now but I feel bad when it's on someone else or on someone else's things. She's so sweet though that you just have to laugh. You never know what sweet little babies are going to do. Anyway, I posted a bunch of the pictures because it was hard for me to just choose a few of my favorites. I still have to decide which ones to print, so if you have any favorites, then let me know.

Amanda and Cody's Twins

We finally got to see pictures of our new cute little nieces, Payton and Paige!! We haven't been able to see them in person yet because they live in Grand Junction, Colorado, so we've been dying to see pictures of what they look like. We are planning a trip to go visit over UEA weekend though and we can't wait to hold those precious little babies and to see Amanda, Cody and little Ava. Payton Jade Stevens weighed 6 lbs. 4 oz. (the same as Kayley) and Paige Lee Stevens weighed 5 lbs. 11 oz. They are sooo cute, aren't they?! It will be so fun for Kayley to have little cousins the same age she is. Hopefully they'll be close enough that they can get to know each other well. Isn't it weird to think that just one of them weighed what Kayley weighed? Here are a few pictures for you to enjoy...
