Long Time No Blog!!!!

Well it has been a long time since I blogged, my life has been so busy and just moving along so fast that I haven't really thought about blogging. So I thought I would take a minute to write a little note. Things are going great and we are very happy!!

Brooklyn is in Kindergarten and loves it, she loves to write out any word that she can and asks anyone that will tell her how to spell their name.

Braxton is doing well, he's in Pre-School and asks me everyday if he gets to go.

Brinley is very big and is very close to crawling, she eats all the time!!!

4th Of July

Well hello all!! Things have been so much fun lately!! We have now lived in our new house for 1 month now and have seemed to adapt quite nicely, we have grown to love it out here in West Clinton. The backyard is my best friend, at least that is what I tell Adam. The kids love to go out there and jump and play in the pool all day!! I started back to work last month and I rather enjoy it. It's been good to get away!! We have been so busy too, with Brinley's blessing, Father's Day, my cousin's baby Leah's blessing, the Fourth of July, & Lagoon trips we've been going and going it seems!!! Laundry seems to pile up so fast also, but I've been doing ok with it. We've been having a great summer but I'm so excited and nervous for Brooklyn to start Kindergarten this fall and Braxton to start Pre-School. I can't believe how big they've gotten it boggles my mind that Brooklyn is old enough!! Well that's all the time I have for now, I'll do my best to blog more often!!!

Update, Update, Update

Well it has been quite awhile since I've blogged!!! We have been so busy with everything!!! So here's a little short update!! Brinley is doing awesome she is almost 10 weeks old now and is growing like a weed. She is 9lbs now and is changing everyday!! She has started to go alot longer through the night which I am so excited about!! She still has some problems eating, she seems to choke or gag when you feed her sometimes so that is stressful but I seem to have got it down that when I feed her she seems to do pretty good!!

Brooklyn is doing very well, she just had her first dance recital last week and did so good!! She was the only one in her class to know the whole dance. I registered her for kindergarten which I can't believe she is old enough to go!! She is to smart for her britches most of the time so I guess she is ready to go!!

Braxton is doing quite well also, he has seemed to change in the last couple of months. He use to be so wild and out of control and so daring, now he is so hesitant and such a momma's boy and holds back on a lot of things that he use to not too!! He's such a little sweetheart!!! He got his tonsills taken out this last tuesday and seems to have a rough time, when he came out of the surgery he seemed to be doing so good I was amazed I knew it was to good to be true!! And it was he is still very sore and can't hardly talk and won't eat very much either. I know he'll make a full recovery it will just take him a little while!!


Adam and I are doing good!! He just started graveyards at the airport, deep cleaning airplanes for Skywest. He seems to like it!! I'm just glad he stills has a job and we have a steady income coming in and health benefits and flight benifits are pretty great too!! I've been on maternity leave since March and I am dreading going back to work June 1st. I would love to just stay home and be a stay at home mom, but with this economy and everything Adam and I just can't seem to swing it on one income right now, well have to see what the future holds for us!! I do love my job and the doctor I work for so at least I'm going back to a place that I like!!

We are also moving at the end of this month from Riverdale to Clinton, my parents just bought a house and have asked us to move in with them to help with the mortgage. We are very excited about it, we will have a huge fenced in backyard for the kids to run and run!! We hope to catch up on alot of our finances and hope to maybe save a little too!!

I believe that is a good run down of our lives right now, I hope to do better on blogging but well see, my actions will have to speak louder than my words!!!

Braxton & Brinley

I know this is a short blog and I promise I will post another one later, but I had to post this picture. A couple mornings ago I was sleeping with Brinley and Braxton joined us, I caught this picture of them and I love it so much. I only got it with my phone so the quality is not the best but I did my best to fix it, it was so dark before!!!

Brinley

Brinley Elizabeth Kersey

5lbs 12oz

19.5 inches long

3:02 am

Well to let you all know if you already didn't. Brinley has arrived safe and sound a little early of course. She was actually born at 34 weeks and 3 days, so she was about 6 weeks early. But we are glad she is here and she is so cute!!!!

So this is what happened, on Firday night at midnight my water broke and Adam and I raced to Davis Hospital. My doctor showed up about 2hours later and did an ultrasound and said she was breech and that we were going to have to get her out and a c-section was our only answer to get her here safe. So Adam and had a little emotional moment together and I went in for the c-section. The C-Section went ok except for the fact I couldn't stop throwing up the whole time. Adam was there to support me and he did a good job. He also made the comment that he got to see a whole new side of me from Intestines, Liver, Kidneys, and Bladder. She came out and she was so cute she weighed 5 lbs 12.4 oz and was 19.5 inches long. She was rushed to the NICU and she will be there for awhile. We really don't know how long she will be there, we have to take it day by day. I was released on Tuesday morning, and I seem to be doing ok with the circumstances. We get to see her only at certain times of the day. So Adam and I are trying to balance going to the hospital, kids, and getting our lifes back together. I'll keep you all updated on her progress and if she has any changes or gets to come home I'll let you all know.

Brinley with her proud Aunt Megan who raced to get here in time from St. George but missed it by 2 hours but were glad she got to spend 3 days with us.


My dad gave Brinley a wonderful blessing and so we all got to go back. Jeff and Mike also helped with the blessing, Adam and I are so grateful for the wonderful blessing.

Brinley got this cute beanie from the NICU nurse and Adam and I think it was so cute we couldn't resist putting it on her.

Brinley and her mom!!!

Just a close up of Brinley!!

Brinley and her very proud Daddy!!!

San Francisco

So Adam has flight benefits working at Skywest, so we decided we would go on a one day adventure to San Francisco. We had so much fun, our flight left at 8:30am and we got in San Fran an hour and a half later. We rode the underground subway to the Piers. That was a new adventure for me, the subway can be a little scary but we made it with no problems. We took a trolley to Pier 39 where all the shops and places to eat are. We ate Clam Chowder in a bread bowl, that Adam still talks about and says was the best ever and he wants to go back and have more. We walked to the pier and saw Alcatraz and we saw the famous seals at Pier 39, that are very noisy. We pretty much just hung out together and enjoyed each others company. Which was great and very romantic in a way to be somwhere with my husband. We also went to an aquarium and it was very interesting and fun. Adam even touched some fish, but I steer clear of that department. We got a flight back around 6:00 and we landed back in SLC around 8:30 which put us away exactly 12 hours. It was a fun and short trip I know we will always talk about it. We got home and were both very tired and crashed when we got home. Adam is already talking about where we will go next, but I have to remind him that it's going to have to wait until the baby is born and so I don't think we will have any crazy trips for awhile but I know that we will go on more for sure.

That is Alcatraz in the back, I look so prego!!!

Me and the Trolley!!



Looking HOTTT!!!!

We rode on that trolley to get to Pier 39!!!

He really loved that Clam Chowder!!!

Wedding Photos

So these are our wedding pictures. We got them back on Sunday and are so happy with what was taken. We hope that you all like them.

Brinley

This is her face with her arm up to her face, practically every ultrasound she has her arm up to her face it's kind of cute.

Well I'm so excited to let you all know that we got a computer and printer with scanner. So hopefully I will blog a little more if I have the time. So with our new scanner I thought I would post some ultrasound pictures of our little Brinley. We are so excited for her to come and join our family. We are obviously not completely prepared yet for her to come but it's happening slowly. I'm also glad to announce that her daddy finnally felt her this morning. He has been so frustrated about it cuz everytime before she would stop kicking like she knew what we were doing. But today she stopped being so stubborn and let her daddy finnally see what I feel all day long. I was so excited since this is Adam's first baby and he is so excited and nervous all at the same time. He's all about 20 questions and is so amazed by the whole pregnancy process, I would have to admit at the beginning I was a little frustrated with him since this is my third and I know the whole process. But now I have gotten better about it and I think it's kind of cute now to teach and see him learn the whole process. He's going to be an awesome dad and I can't wait to share the whole process with him.

This is Brinley's face on the left hand side with her hand up to her face as usual, this is a 4d ultrasound, you can really see her facial features.

These are feet I promise, I know it's kind of hard to tell but it really is, Adam even made sure that we counted the toes to make sure they were all there with no extras. He's such a HOOT sometimes.

These are her girl parts, I know it's kind of hard to tell but if you look hard enough and long enough you can see that her underthighs are there with the girl parts in the middle, there is no boy my doctor said that he's 99 percent positive. He will never say 100% to just cover his butt!!!

Christmas 2008

Well Christmas went off with a hitch with not to many problems. I sure feel like christmas came and went very fast this year. Adam even made the comment that he really wasn't in the christmas spirit this year and I thought you know me neither. With our wedding in December I think it just made getting in the christmas spirit a little tough this year. The kids had a blast though and loved everything they got this year. Christmas morning was alot of fun, the kids left some cookies that they helped me make and frost with some milk for santa. Well Adam and I thought we would leave a half of a cookie to mabye empathize that santa ate their cookies well the whole day they had to tell everyone that santa didn't eat his last cookie. So I believe from now on we will eat all the cookies so we don't have to be asked a million times as to why he didn't eat all his cookies.
The day after christmas the kids and I flew to St. George to see Megan and my parents. The kids got to fly on their first plane and they had a blast and keep asking Adam and I when they get to go again and where were going to go. On New Years day we got together with all of my family at my house and had christmas since our parents were in St. George. It was alot of fun and the kids love to play with there cousins.
I think back at when I got to play with all of my cousins and you know it was a blast and my sister Mandy and I try to get the kids together as much as we can cuz they play so well together and theres a bond there and memories that our kids will keep with them forever like we do. So all in all it was good holiday here at the Kersey house and we hope to have many more. We hope everyone else had great holidays, and good luck to you all in 2009!!!!!
