Happy Halloween

We went over to a friends from the ward this year. They set up chairs in their driveway and have a pot luck dinner. The kids had a blast this year and got tons of candy. I couldn't believe Ashleigh. She would say trick or treat and thank you at every house. Her bag got so heavy it was hard to carry. I tried to help her carry it but she wouldn't let me. The other kids had fun too. Jeff took the two babies home and we stayed a little longer. Some of the teenagers took Makenzie trick or treating a second time and they were gone so long we had to send out a search party to find them.

We had a lot of fun Saturday night at the Trunk or Treat. Kaydence joined us for the fun. They had a fishing for prizes game,

Putt putt Ashleigh!

Tossing the rings.

Waitin' in line for another game.

2 Months - Weighing in at 12 lbs 91/2 oz

Here is our 2 month old update a couple of weeks late. He is getting so big. Over this last month he has developed acid reflux, which he takes medication for. He has also started sleeping at least 5 hours at night, which makes mom happy! Kenyon has started cooing and smiling and he even giggles once in a while. I got him the other day with his fingers in his mouth. Kenyon also went on his first camping trip when we went to Mexico. And yes he does have troll doll hair which won't lay flat. I'm sure we'll probably have to get a hair cut in the next couple of months.

Cute Kenzie

I went to give Kenyon a bath last night and Kenzie just was so excited to help. She practiced earlier in the day by giving her Dora a bath with the spray bottle.
We had friends over yesterday and I couldn't find Kenzie and Macie. When I looked this is were they were. I guess they were both trying to hide from their younger sisters. Gives a new meaning to water color art.

Two Kenyons

We had a visit yesterday from Great Grandpa Udall and got a picture of him with the baby. Grandpa wouldn't hold him when he came up for the blessing so we were glad to get this Kodak moment.

Mexico 2008

While we had fun, Jeff and I look forward to next year when all our kids are older and we don't have a 2 month old to contend with in the windy and cold weather.

Potty Princess II

Ashleigh went on the potty today. I noticed that she was trying to poop so I asked if she wanted to try to go on the potty and she said yes. We sat there for a while and she peed! Ya - we sang a song to celebrate. Then Makenzie got her a book and she sat for a while longer and pooped! I'm not sure if I'm up to potty training her yet but if she is willing to go that's sounds great to me. On a side note, yes she does have a fat lip and a goose egg between her eyebrows. Let's just say mom's know best when it comes to sitting down on rocking chairs!

Success!!

Makenzie had a dentist appointment this morning and much to my surprise did excellent. They were able to polish, scrape, treat with flouride, floss, and take x-rays. Prior attempts at the dentist have not been so productive. To celebrate I took her for a smoothie afterward. GO KENZIE!!

Brace Yourself

Much to my surprise and probably a lot of other people (including Jeff) I decided to get braces. I had a dentist appointment two weeks ago and they said that I'm starting to crack my teeth because of my bite. I've always wanted straight teeth so I thought crack your teeth and end up needing a mouth full of crowns or braces. I opted for braces. I feel for all of you who had these as a teenager or those of you who are teenagers now and going through the braces process. And flossing is nearly impossible. But I'm trying to follow all the instructions so that my teeth move quickly. Wish me luck!

1 Month

It's hard to believe that Kenyon is already one month old. He is such a great addition to our family. He is pretty calm unless he is hungry, has a dirty diaper, or needs to burp. He usually gives me a 5 to 6 hour stretch of sleep 5 nights out of the week. The kids truly enjoy having him around and are such great helpers. Logan makes sure that I know when he is crying (like I can't hear him myself), Makenzie helps me give him a bath, and Ashleigh is always there to give hugs and kisses. Ashleigh now says baby instead of "oh" when referring to Kenyon.

Blessing Kenyon Gregory

We blessed Kenyon this past Sunday. It was so fun to have family and friends attend. Grandpa Udall was able to make it up from Thatcher to be in the circle. For those of you who don't know we named Kenyon after Jeff's Grandpa and Dad. We missed having Grandpa Greg (hurry back from Germany!). I love having so many family members that can stand in the blessing circle! From left to right Grandpa (Karolyn's dad), Uncle John, Shane Billings (Jeff's favorite missionary companion), Uncle Kenny, Jeff & Kenyon, Uncle Brad, Grandpa Lindsay, & Grandpa Udall. Uncle Steven was having a baby of his own that day and wasn't able to make it.

2 Weeks Already

Kenyon is two weeks already. We are all adjusting very well. After the first couple of nights home, when he wouldn't go to sleep until 1am, he is an angel and sleeping. He eats around 9 or 10 and then sleeps until 3 or 4. Can't ask for more than that. We've made several visits to the doctor. He dropped to 9lbs and they were concerned. But after our visit today the doctor said he's doing great and to just come back for his 1 month well check. He still has his heart murmur so we'll follow up with a cardiologist in a couple of weeks. He is an absolute delight and the kids love him. Everytime Ashleigh sees him her eyes light up. Makenzie makes sure to kiss him before going anywhere. And Logan LOVES having a baby brother. He is always the first to tell me when he's crying and is being a big helper by bringing me diapers and wipes.

More Pictures of the baby

Kenyon Gregory Wolfington

Behold! The fourth (and final) Wolfington baby. A beautiful, fat little boy. He was yanked out butt first at 7:45 this morning (the 11th). He weighed in at a new record 10lbs 3.3oz. New record for his siblings that is. As you can see, he has dark hair and fat cheeks. He has only opened his eyes a couple of times so far for a split second. Logan was wide eyed right from the start. We are so happy and blessed. We are at Gateway Banner Hospital, US60 and Higley, room 1110 if you want to come see him. We should be home on Thursday.

It's A Doggy Dog World

So we finally have one kid that loves dogs. We have a friend with a pug and everytime Ashleigh is there she follows him around and pets him constantly. When he lays down she lays on the carpet next to him. They are kindred spirits. Anyway we went over to visit yesterday and we heard the dog getting a drink of water out of his water dish, but then we heard "AHHH". Ashleigh was the one drinking the water not Pugs, it was hilarious. She looked up with a big grin and water dripping down her chin.

So Long Summer

Okay so we still have the HEAT but Logan started school today. I can't believe I have a first grader! He was fine until we got to his classroom door, then the tears started to flow. Which got me teary-eyed. Hopefully they stopped soon after we left. We didn't hang around since it usually makes it worse. He has some friends from last year in his class and I'm sure he'll get right in there and have a good time.

Missing Grandma

Jeff's grandma passed away on Monday night after battling lung cancer. She went peacefully and was surrounded by family. We will truly miss her. Makenzie had a friend over today and was telling her about Grandma dying then she said, "She passed up. I'm going to miss her." How great it is to know that we are families forever and that this sadness will only be for a short time. I can't help but think that Grandma is in heaven right now getting ready to send off not only our baby but Liz and Steven's and also Cara and Alan's.

Summertime

We've spent the summer in swimming lessons. Logan is getting good enough that he can swim from one side of the pool to the other.

Makenzie is finally brave enough to put her whole head in the water.

Ashleigh is a fish. Loves to jump in from the side, whether or not anyone is there to catch her. Gotta watch out with that one. She also doesn't at all care about putting her head under water.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR LOGAN!

Yesterday we celebrated Logan's #7 birthday. It is hard to believe how grown up he is getting. To celebrate he wanted blue waffles for breakfast, then we went to a baptism of a family friend, and then off to the movies to see WAL*E. We came back home and he had cousins here to play with (thanks Steven for arranging for Noah to be here - they had a blast). We ate pizza for dinner followed by a cake in the shape of a tank and ice cream. Good Times! Here is a slide show of the festivities and presents.
