Kenzie Anne Robison-FINALLY HERE!

Our sweet little Kenzie Anne arrived into the world on April 26th at 1:42pm. She is 9 lbs 14 oz, 21 inches and she has a big 'ol head measuring in at 15 in.








My contractions started that morning at 2am put didn't progress into anything and by 5am I was back asleep. I had already decided to go in and have Carrie, my midwife, strip my membranes at 8am. I started having contractions immediately and decided after timing them for a few hours to go in at 11:30am. I had Kenzie in the water which helped so much with the labor pain but not totally :)! I had normal contractions with a minute on and a minute off. My back hurt really bad during labor and my tailbone and found out why after I had her! She had both hands up on her face, so not only did she have a big head but she decided to make it even bigger with her hands! The midwives said I only pushed for 7 minutes when I started and well, if you felt what I felt I knew it would all be over if I just bore down and pushed hard! It was an exhausting, amazing, and wonderful experience! She is beautiful and has really dark hair. Her cheeks are so chunky like her mom's and they make her features look so petite on her face! We love that she has chunky rolls on her arms and legs already and so PLUMP!
Daddy is thoroughly enjoying his sweet little girl and so are the boys! Jace of course is OBSESSED and Sean is being very sweet and tender, for now. I'm extremely sore and not moving well but know it will pass in a few days with rest. I knew she was big but not this BIG! We are grateful to our Heavenly Father for her being born safely and being so healthy! We feel so blessed!

It's been a while...

I can't believe it's been 5 months since I posted ANYTHING! But the majority of those 5 months were spent feeling sick and not wanting to do anything unless it was absolutely necessary! We found out that we are having a girl in December and have been so excited. Jace is once again a crazed child when it comes to my belly and Sean doesn't even seem to realize I have a watermelon growing inside of me! I'm feeling nervous/excited to have a third as I seem to not be able to keep up with what I already am responsible for, but I know once I'm in it, I'll somehow survive. I was recently put back into Young Women's after a short stint in Relief Society, and so happy to be back. I don't know what it is about Young Women's but I LOVE IT! They are so much fun and it is so exciting to teach them the gospel and hear about their lives and how they are trying to fit everything into it. I have NO desire to ever be their age again, but somehow feel younger just rubbing shoulders with them.

There really has not been too much else going on. Just preparing for the new baby. When the nursery is done I'll probably post pics!

Jace's First day of Preschool

Wednesday was Jace's first day of preschool and mommy's first day of ohhhh this is nice! I think Jace and mommy needed him to start going at 3 to preschool. This busy little boy just can't sit still unless it's Max and Ruby on TV and well, 4 hours a day of that just isn't good for a child. So I signed him up for a little preschool that a lady in our ward is doing 2 days a week in her home. I'm so excited for him and he loved his first day. It was the HAPPIEST I've seen him in a long time. It was funny to hear from his teacher how he said the opening and prayer and asked that they have a good day at preschool. So sweet! I'm looking forward to more one on one time with Sean and just a little break from my intense little guy!

Summer is finally OVER!

This was by far the busiest summer EVER! I'm so glad it is done. Which is sad to say but it has been non-stop for three months and I'm done! This is the list of activities in chronological order:

-Moved into the new house
-went on the Stake Trek as ma's and pa's
-Family Reunion in Utah
-Sister in law Leslie and her daughter Degan move in with us
-Family visits from Alabama
-I get pregnant
-Jordan's Parents move up from Idaho Falls
-10 year High School Reunion (I'm in charge of, and happens the same weekend as his parents moving here it was just a little stressful)
-Cousin Liz's wedding in SLC

So amidst all this there was fun and laughter and smiles so I'm posting those pictures and a few from the above list.

I love to see the temple!

What's a woman to do...we go to the temple, praying about some very specific things and what does the Lord do, confirm the things we are praying about, thankfully, but do nothing but prompt me I need to have another baby and soon! Doesn't he know I'm in weight loss mode? I'd like to enjoy a thinner body for at least a year...but no, that's not in the cards, and surprisingly, I'm ok with it. I'm so thankful for the temple and the solitude and peace you can feel. I started crying during the session because I'm so grateful for my Savior and his ENDLESS amount of love and grace for me. I am so undeserving of it. The temple provides so many blessings if I just tune in and tune out the unimportant things. I'm so grateful to have a worthy companion, that I LOVE, there with me, trying and striving to do what is right. What did I do to deserve this? He is a great father, and an even better husband and companion to me. He isn't perfect but is in so many ways. I love you Jordan. I love our boys. I am so thankful for the gospel that has given me so many blessings. The Lord will provide every needful thing... a new car, probably not. A loving family that is not perfect and striving to do what is right, yes, he will provide me with that. Sorry for the ramblings, my heart is full and so thankful for what happened today in the House of the Lord.

Kitchen

So, after literally 8 months of looking at probably every house for sale in Liberty Lake, Spokane Valley, Coeur d'Alene, and Post Falls, we finally found the house we wanted. After a number of offers and counter offers, the seller's finally accepted our offer. We feel so lucky/blessed to have this home and can't wait to move in and make it ours. It is in Post Falls, so we stay in our ward, YAH!, and it is 3,850 square feet, with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. Every thing is done with it so all we have to do is move in, whew. So happy about that! :) Can't wait to cook in my double ovens and mop those great wood floors!

Michael Buble (lay)

If you didn't know, this guy is so wiry! Oh my!
He was ALL over the stage and put on a great and very entertaining show!

Jordan surprised me for my birthday/Valentine's day and got tickets to the Michael Buble concert! We had a blast. We spent Friday and Saturday shopping and playing and then Saturday night went to the concert in Seattle. It was so much fun and won't be soon forgotten! Love ya Jordan!!!! It was a much needed weekend away from the kids and thanks to my sister Julie, she made that possible! Thanks Julie-even though you ended up in the hospital because of it...sorry again and I'm glad you're doing better :)!




Yummy, authentic Thai Restaurant we went to before the concert! So fun!
