Making pudding

Last night McKaila and I made pudding. McKaila loved stirring. She did pretty good too. I didn't have that big of a mess to clean up after. Of course, after the pudding was made McKaila needed a spoon to taste it. She loves pistachio pudding. She has her first day of nursery on Sunday. I am so excited and I can't wait. It will be a relief to David as well. This means he can actually go to Priesthood. McKaila usually keeps him out of it with her constant talking. I am sure she will do well.




David is still gone. He was supposed to be home yesterday (Thursday) and now he won't be home until Saturday. Some things happened and the office didn't change his plane tickets. We all had doctor appointments today (except McKaila) so I had to find a sitter to watch McKaila.

So I got to the doctors office today and it wasn't as bad as I thought. David and I don't have our third rabies shot till the 16th of July now. When I talked to them on the phone they were confused. I did get the HPV shot today though. I had my appointment and that was all we had to do there. Kameron doesn't have an appointment and shots till 4 months. THey originally told me 3 months. I did weigh him today though. He is about 14 lbs now. He was 14.1 lbs but he had on a wet diaper and lots of clothes. They usually weigh him in his birthday suit. Needless to say he is a big boy. Much bigger than McKaila was at this age. He is adorable though. He is happy most of the time.
Kameron got a new swing. We bought him a papason swing and he loves it. McKaila does too. She loves to climb in it. Well McKaila is in the window seal again. Better go get her down.

Such a small world


We had such a fun weekend. On Saturday we went out bowling with the missionaries. I was having a crummy day and didn't feel like playing so David bowled with them while I shopped :) I think I got the better deal. The missionaries were so excited to eat at Taco Bell. The only american food on the economy in Frankfurt is McDonald's, Burger King, and Pizza Hut. On Sunday after church, our good friends came and played games at our house. We played "Catch Phrase". It was so much fun. My stomach hurt from laughing so hard. We are sad that the Spilker's are leaving in just 31 days. We have decided that we are going to go to Europa-Park all together before they leave. We will hopefully be going next weekend, July 6 and go for a couple days. They have the highest and biggest rollercoaster in Europe. I am so excited to go. I can't wait.
So anyways. My uncle Glenn passed away in November of last year. I have his picture on my fridge. Michelle asked me "How do you know Glenn Kirkendall?" I said he is my uncle. She used to babysit my uncle Glenn and my uncle Pete. Isn't it such a small world. She grew up right around the corner from where my dad grew up. Her dad was the bishop of their ward. Glenn's wife and two kids just flew into Germany yesterday. They are on their way to Paris right now. Anyways I went and picked them up yesterday and we had dinner over at our house. It was so nice to catch up with them and see them again. They'll be back next week to hang out some more though. I had such an exhausting day. You can tell by the picture. Kameron had a horrible night and I was falling asleep in church. I had to leave sacrement meeting just to get fresh air to try and keep me awake.
We have to go again on Friday for more shots. This time David and I have our last rabies shot and Kameron has his three month shots. He gets 5 diff. shots. Poor baby. Well gotta run, Kameron is upset.

My first day out!!!







Today was my first day out without the kids. It was so nice. David got home early this morning. The kids and I met him at the consulate so David and I could get more shots. I wanted to go out to the base without David so I could buy him some birthday presents without him knowing what they are. I planned on going yesterday while he was still out of town but the weather was horrible. So he offered to watch the kids today so I could go by myself. It was so weird. I almost didn't know what to do with myself. I just went to the base but it was relaxing. Atleast until the drive home. It has been really rainy and it poured on my way home. Everyone was driving really slow because you couldn't see the car in front of you even. I hate driving in the rain. I'm surprised I didn't have a heart attack. I was gripping the wheel. It was scary because I was hydroplaning(sp). I finally made it home safe and sound. It was perfect timing. I had fed Kameron right before I walked out the door and he was crying when I walked in. Needless to say he was hungry. Don't worry, I left milk with David just in case.



David had a lot of fun with the kids today. They went to the park and McKaila drank bubbles when no one was looking. Then she got some in her eyes. She had sand all over her as well. David loved taking her to the park though. All the women were jealous that David took the kids and let me have some time to myself. They wish their husbands would do that. What can I say? I got a good one :) McKaila was so worn out after the park that she had fallen asleep in her highchair. She has never done that before. David noticed it was quiet and went into the dining room and she was out.

First blog

I guess it is time that I should be creating a blog page. I will try to post on here as often as I can so make sure to check it often if you would like to have an update. This will make it easier I think for people to know what is going on with us.

Life is going good at the moment. David is currently traveling. He will be back in the morning though. I am doing good as well. I'm still working on trying to lose more of this baby weight:( My mom told me it would be harder to lose the second time around but I didn't want to believe her. I guess I do now.

My kids are my pride and joy. They bring me so much happiness. McKaila was pretty sad today. We usually go out to the playground for a couple of hours everyday. Well today it rained all day so we were stuck inside. She climbed on the couch right onto the window seals and would stand up there looking around outside. Then she would start smacking the window like "let me out."After dinner it had finally stopped raining so we decided to go for a walk before bed. She was so excited to be outside finally. She was bouncing up and down in her stroller. She made everyone outside laugh. She was just so happy. Kameron is doing good. I can't believe he is 3 months old next week. Time has really seemed to go by fast. He is a happy baby most of the time. Today he just laid there on the couch laughing and cooing. It was adorable. He doesn't like being in his bouncer for too long. Maybe a few minutes at most. This doesn't give me a lot of free time. Well that is good for my first blog I guess. I am going to try and get some sleep. Its almost midnight and I have to be up and to the consulate bright and early.
