Demry's Blessing Day

We got to bless this cute little girl last Sunday. (Don't you just love that face.)  I have to say I was very proud of myself and Todd this was the first Sunday we had to get everyone ready for church and things went smoothly. We didn't have any tears over what to wear and everyones hair got done, and amazingly enough we were early for church.  Our Sunday mornings usually consist of many breakdowns over hair clothes and finding our church bags. Todd usually is telling us it's time to go over and over as I due hair, not even dressed myself, and then the family ends up waiting in the car while I run around trying to gather last minute stuff that I didn't think about during the hours of 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. But, with all this drama we somehow  are able to make it at least by the opening song.

So, when I thought about this day I'll admit I panicked at little inside thinking about having to get one more daughter ready for church and yes, I envisioned us late for our own baby blessing, missing it and then having to do it all over next week. But no things went smoothly and I couldn't have been happier. This was only our first Sunday all going and getting ready at a family of six now, I sure I will have fun stories to tell in the future.  Now, I want to end this post by saying I just say I love baby blessings there is nothing sweeter to me than seeing Todd honoring his priesthood while holding our children in his arms and give them their names and a blessing, while being surrounded by family and friends.

School is back in session. You know what that means early mornings, earlier bedtime we hope, and a nice big break in the day for mom.

Karson is now in second grade and loving it!! He has the same teacher that I had in second grade.

Kambree is now in Kindergarten, and funny story I had no Idea that Monday was her first day of school and took her to her "open house" only to find out she was an hour late for her first day. I know I get the mother of the year award on the first day of school, it's going to be a long year.

( this picture was our fake first day of school, really the second)

She was good sport about it and the first thing she said was " I didn't get to wear my new clothes", but other than that she was all smiles.

(here we have the real first day of school after she got off the bus.)

And our little Bailey is now in Preschool.

This is something she has talked about all summer long.

In bailey's words " I three (pause) I go to preschool."

Some Pictures from the hospital

Coming Home!

The morning after we brought her home the kids could not get enough of her I couldn't get them to get ready to go to grandma's. So I started bribing them with things like "if you get dressed you can hold her" and if you eat breakfast you can give her a kiss. It worked wonders.

She has already had her first photo shoot. At three day's old

I thought while it was just her and me for the day I wanted to have a little fun!

THE STORY: So it was Monday morning and Todd went off to work, and  I quickly got all the kids ready to go to my last doctors appointment. As I was leaving I had the thought to grab my bags and the car seat just in case. But brushed it off because of my deep state of depression. You see this was the longest I had ever been pregnant with only four days until my due date, and doing everything possible one can think of to go into labor. I mean I tried everything from eating a lot of chocolate, mowing the lawn, weeding the garden, picking raspberries, sweeping out the garage, and cleaning the entire house. Dont' let me forget the two mile walks. Nothing I felt nothing. I was sure I had not dilated from my last appointment when I was a depressing one cm. We made the drive to rexburg where I dropped the kids off at aunt Jessicas and headed to my appointment with the plan of going shopping with jessica and taking the kids swimming later that day. however, plans change when the doctor checked me told me I was at a 4, and 75% ephased. He changed my induction day from friday to the next morning. However, I paniked you see with my first baby I as at a four with High blood pressure and they sent me straight to the hospital. It was there that I went from a four to a seven without feeling any of my contraction. So I voiced my concerns to the doctor that I would make the forty minute drive home be in labor and not know it, and not make it back in time to the hospital. So, for my own piece of mind the doctor hooked me to a monitor and sure enough I was in labor and didn't know it. how does one not know they are in labor you ask. Well and i can't ansewer that because I just don't know. I was having contractions every minute and a half and I dialated from a 4 to a 5 in a very short half hour. The doctor told me to go straight to the hospital. Jessica went with me at first stayed with me until Todd could get things settled at work and grab my bags. I'm just glad he made it, Thank goodness for epidurals slowing down the labor process. Anyway, other than not being prepared to have a baby that day with no bags and yes, I had not shaved my legs yet, the delivery went well and we now have this beautiful little baby in our home.

Baileys Wings

So we had this amazing tea party with friends this week, and yes Karson and Aiden did join the fun. Where would princesses be without the sheriffs? We decorated planned yummy food and had a blast!

While getting ready for the tea party little miss Bailey found the fairy wings, and loved them!! She has loved them everyday since.

She has loved them while playing with play dough...

 playing in her swimsuit....

 playing outside with the neighbors...

and while cleaning the basement...

(please note we have added the hat and sunglasses)

How boring life would be without our Bailey!!

Kevin's Wedding

I don't really have much to say, I just wanted to post some pictures of the wedding. We had a fun week with family, (swimming, barbaques, and sleep overs) but me with my 9 month pregnant brain,  I kept forgetting my camera (sad).

Karson's Baseball Pictures

We are always involved in one sport or another in this house, and for the summer it's baseball Karson loves baseball!! The two things Karson says most in a day are "I'm hungry" and "I want to play baseball"  So I wanted to post some pictures, I thought I had more but it turns out they are all videos and only two pictures. He had a fun season and it ended with them being undeafeated which was great for all the boys and the one girl on the team. So now we have a month break and it's on to football.
