Church

Growing up going to church was never an option...it was mandatory!  I tried every excuse in the book to get out of it...but it NEVER worked.  I just wouldn't come upstairs and hope my parents wouldn't realize I was not in the car until after they got to church. I would attempt to make my parents so late they would just let me stay home...that never worked either!  So this weekend Kreighton and Kyle stayed at mom and dad's Saturday night, and I asked mom how chuch went, and she told me "well I just took Kyle, Kreighton was tired so your dad just stayed home with her."  I couldn't believe it!  That never would have worked for me!  Kreighton told me..."Me and Bappa stayed home and watched cartoons."  I think my parents are turning into softees as they grow older! 

Kael James Peck

Kael James is here he arrived Friday August 26th at 6:15 pm weighing 9.5 pounds, 21 inches long, and lots of blonde hair. He looks like both his sister and his brother if you ask me, but most people say he is a blonde Kyle. It was a long labor and the epidurial did not work, but it is true you soon forget all about it.  He was bigger than the doctors thought...which is always the case, they keep telling me my babies are going to be smaller and smaller, but they just seem to get bigger and bigger. Kreighton and Kyle so far really love having a little brother, Kyle claims he is not going to share his tractors, but will give him rides on the gator, he just keeps reminding us, "I drive, I drive."  And Kreighton seems to be a bit of a mother hen, making sure Kyle does not do anything to hurt Kael and wanting to read him lots of books and give him toys.
We have had a minor setback we got to go home on Sunday, but Kael had to be admitted again on Monday for high jaundice levels, but this morning test showed they are going down, and will retest him tonight at 4:00 and as long as they are lower or maintaining we can go home...again!  So for today Kael and I are having a relaxing day at Mercy Hospital on the Peds floor, he is getting all kinds of attention from the nurses because it is just us here!

Here are a few pictures I had on my computer!

Grandpa Craig...Grandma Sharon was here too but she had a cold sore on her lip and did not want to give it to Kael.

And this is me...about a week before I delivered!

Kreighton's Birthday Post

So I am posting this a week or so early....but hopefully very soon this baby will be here and I will not have time so I am just doing it now!

I decided to start a little tradition that every year I will ask the kids the same questions on their birthdays and see how their answers change through the years! I am sure at some point the kids will turn their IPODS up, roll their eyes, and walk away when I attempt to do this, but for now Kreighton loved answering the questions!

1.     What is  your favorite song?
Rain makes Corn or Boots with the Fur

2.     What is your favorite book?
Snow White

3.     What is your favorite movie?
Sleeping Beauty

4.     What is your favorite food?
Pizza

5.     What is your favorite thing do with Mommy?
Give the Baby a hug

6.     What is your favorite thing to do with Daddy?
Help Daddy work

7.     What is your favorite toy to play with?
Barbies

8.     What is one thing you don’t like doing?
Don’t like to watch Boy movies

9.     Who are your friends?
Peyton Youngblut, Lauren and Lindsay , I only like girls right now

10. What is your favoite thing to do with Kyle
Play Tractors

11. What are you saving for in your piggy bank?
Pedicure

12. If you could pick one thing to do for a day?
Have a picnic


I can hardly believe that Miss Kreighton will be 4 next week, time really does go too fast!

1.  Kreighton you are a diva, you go through 3-4 dresses a day and have to have accessories!
2. Most of the time you are a good big sister to your brother, but you do get fed up with it at times and get so mad at him!
3. You love going to stay at either grandparents house....especially without your brother!
4. Thanks to your Aunt Sissy at the age of 4 you have had more than your share of pedicures!
5. You love getting dirty and playing in the mud, but usually have to do this naked, so you don't get your clothes dirty-good thing we live in the country!
6. You are good at not going to bed, or playing very quietly in your room so mom and dad don't know, and will change your outfit-one time you even woke up with mittens on...in the summer!
7.  You are brutally honest, you will tell people if they have a "pretty shirt" on, but are not afraid to tell them it is not "pretty" either!
8. You love playing with babies. And claim you like Barbies and always want new ones, but never ever play with them!
9. You are great in the car, and I think you could ride for hrs on hrs and never complain!
10. You are somewhat of a TV junkie and if mom let you, you would watch it ALL day!

Hauling Pigs!

Last week Kreighton got to go and haul pigs with Bappa Craig and Grandma Sharon.  She was so excited to pick out her "farmer" outfit and even wore her puddle boots!
She loved getting to ride in Bappa's truck, but I think the thing she loved the most was going to get a chocolate milk and a sugar doughnut when they were done!

All ready to Go!



The pigs were very smelly and noisy!


All Done!

Kreighton 4th Birthday!

Since cousins were home and on Kreighton's actual 4th Birthday we will have our hands full with a new baby we decided to have Kreighton's Birthday Party a few weeks early!
We didn't really have a theme but did have a pinta, face painting, and lanterns the kids could decorate (which comes from the movie Tangled).  It was a lot of fun and all the kids had fun!

Birthday Girl and Great-Grandpa

Face-Painting Fun!

 
Kyle and his Bappas!

Cousins Visit!

After we got home from Adventureland we headed right over to Grandma and Grandpa Peck's because The Wagners were here for a 10-day visit!  The kids were excited to play with their cousins and we had so much fun!  The Qurings came a few days later!
Hard to believe that Kyle talked Aunt Susan into a ride on the 4-wheeler

All the cousins saying "cheese"

Love for Tommy!
