SHE IS HERE!!!

Rylee Nicole Colon was born at 2:55 pm today (July 11, 2008). She weighed 7lbs 3 oz and 20 1/2 in. long. She has got ALOT beautiful black hair and it has a slight curl. She is so cute! Mom and baby are doing well. Alicia got the baby out in a push and half (actually she was clearing her throat and the babies head came out so really she only pushed once).

Her brothers are so excited for her to be here. They could not give her enough kisses.

Can you tell Kenadee got a little bored at the hospital.(She is not sleeping in the picture she is just being silly)


Baby Rylee hours old. We thought the headband was so cute that we had to put it on her for the picture.

I Love My Family!

This week for FHE we went took Kenadee to Temple Square and she loved it. I love going there. When Dave and I lived in Salt Lake we lived really close to Temple Square so we would go there often, but of course since we have moved away we don't go as much.

I love my little family so much and love spending time with them. I have come across to blogs in the past few weeks that are really sad. Both families lost their babies to a tragic accident. As I have read their blogs I have been so touched and have been reminded of what is important in life and to not take the days and moments I have with my family for granted. I am grateful for my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and for the peace and joy it brings to my life. I find great joy and comfort in knowing that I can be with Dave and Kenadee for eternity.

As I have read these blogs I am working on being more positive when Kenadee cries in the middle of the night. Instead of being irritated I try to find joy in hearing her cry and express grated to my Heavenly Father for giving me another day with her and then I go in her room hold her sing her a song and take another opportunity to tell her how much I love her.

There really is no greater joy than motherhood ( I love being a wife as well, I have the best husband but there is so much fulfillment in motherhood). I am so blessed!

Princesses

Kenadee has just recently discovered the disney princesses and she loves them, she cannot get enough of them. She needed a new bathing suit so I took her to Target to let her pick out a bathing suit, I was picking up all kinds of adorable bathing suits but her mind was set on the pink princess bathing suit so that is what she got. When we got home she put it on a played in the pool and loved it and kept looking down at the princess on it. She had to wear it for dinner and when it was time for the bath she insisited on wearing it in the bath and then she wore it to bed (at least it has been really warm so she did not get cold). I ended up hiding the bathing suit so she was not tempted to wear it every where. Her favorite thing to do now is sit on Dave's lap and look at pictures of princesses. Her favorite movies now are The Little Mermaid and Cinderella and she has princess sippy cups bowls and plates. She also got a princess night gown. I love that she is into the princesses, I think it is so cute.

I finally got it!

I finally made my decision between getting a treadmill or elipitical and the treadmill won. We bought like a month ago. I love it. I work out on it all the time, I cannot wait to see some results, it would be nice to look good in clothes again. Thanks again to everyone for all your feed back it really helped in my decision making.

Beautiful Day!

Today after church we decided to go take a walk around a park and enjoy the nice weather. Kenadee had so much fun exploring. I must say I really love this age, she is so much fun and says the most adorable things.

Hogle Zoo

On Friday Kenadee and I went with my mom, my sister and her kids to the zoo. The kids had a lot of fun and it was a nice sunny day.

Lazy blogger

Sorry for being such a lazy blogger. Life has been busy and Dave works from home on the computer so I don't really have access to it during the day and at night I just want to hang out with my husband. I promise I will be better.

One exciting thing that has happend for us is we got our basement finished and it is so nice. Now all of Kenadee's toys are down stairs in her new play room. It is nice to have a little extra space.

I had the opportunity to go to Woman's Conference at BYU, I had a great time. My mom and I volunteered to work as hostess there so on Thursday we got to go to the conference for free and on Friday we worked. We had a great time, heard absolutly wonderful talks and got to see some old friends which was really exciting.

Mothers Day was wonderful. I love my little family so much. I got breakfast in bed, Dave changed all of Kenadee's diapers, Dave made dinner and we just had a really enjyable day together. I have been telling Dave for a long time that I want a treadmill or elliptical, so Saturday Dave told me my mothers day present was a treadmill or elliptical which ever I wanted and I was so excited. Now I am just trying to decide which one I want. Does anyone have a preference? Does anyone know which one gives a better workout?

I love my family so much! Mother's Day could not havebeen better!
