Wow Update!!! ( it's a long one!)

So yikes, it doesn't take long for your blog to be out of date! Well we had a Coates Christmas party the day after Thanksgiving it was kind of fun to see some cousins I hadn't in a while. And on thanksgiving Kaydence spent a little time with her younger cousin Casen! we got some fun pics. And we played the coolest game(thanks Brit) it was called Thankful pie. My niece made a little fake pie and we wrote down on pieces of paper the things we were thankful for to fill our pie! It was super neat to hear every ones thoughts, and funny. We had Family , Friends, warm house,the gospel(and almost everything related to it), also things like hairy chests,gold bond, and hunting( gotta love those guys!) I've decorated (a little), I'm not done remodeling the house so it is kind of hard for me to decorate my ugliness ha ha. But I love my tree, my mom and I made all of the decorations about 7 years ago, and I got to take them with me when I went to college. I am working on new tree stuff for next year (it will be all hunting,feathers, barbed wire, Levi jeans) I am excited to see if my vision is as cute out of my head as in. Also we went to the NFR with my family. It is kind of a tradition now. We love it. Kaydence even went to the rodeo the first night, but was only happy for half of it( I'm pretty sure it was too loud!). So her grandma coates, and great aunt Treasa stayed behind(very excited) to play with her at the hotel. Kaydence was so good down there, I was super worried about taking her but she was fine. My mom decided she needed a family pic for Christmas cards on Sunday( didn't let us know til then either) so we all dug up some red and black ha ha and went down to the farm for some FREEZING pics. Kaydence even got the shivers I felt horrible, and I might add we are probably the most un-photogenic family ever ha ha ha. Well I think that is it. Hopefully we will have some great Christmas photos for my next post! Yay I have been so excited for Christmas this year I almost forgot about shopping( I just finished last night)! Thanks Carly for coming with me.
Kaydence Update...... Well so our little one is getting so big, in all meanings of the word. She is up to 14.5 pounds and growing ha ha, and is now trying to sit herself up when lying down( she doesn't get very far but she is trying. She can make thousands of sounds and coes, and millions of faces. She Still only poops 2 times a week, but it's getting more rank by the day. Eats every 2 hours, and sleeps through the night(since 1.5 months thank heavens). She can sit very well with a little help, but is still tipsy. She likes cereal, and it has to be thick(she just gets mad when i make it runny, i think she thinks I'm screwing with her mommy milk hee hee). Overall she IS the best baby in the whole world(OK to me at least). She is So content and happy, I cannot believe she has almost been with us for 4 months now. Who knows if I even did anything before she was here( I can't remember if I did). She is my whole life and LOVE being mommy, and love seeing John with his little girl,. Nothing in the world makes me happier.

Kaydence was not going to let me put her down while I was making homemade candy(yummy) so I got out the baby bjorn!

My Funny family!

Homemade tree decor. Aren't they the best.

I made the Mr. and Mrs. Clause. The Blocks say winter, and there is my one and only nativity(it snowman!)

Grandpa and his cow girl( secretly Sh only wore the hat that night, and we are giving it to her for Christmas) The hat looks funny right there but that's the only good pic of grandpa.

Kaydence with Santa, and Dad.
Thanksgiving with the Barclay's,

Yup she is trying to eat Casen's arm, and her bum says Yummy ha ha.

Cereal

Right as food hits mouth!( she hates it)After she eats it.(or does she love it)

So I decided I would try out some rice cereal. Kaydence eats every two hours if not closer together. So maybe a little cereal will help space things out. And I was told by the doc it was ok to try it out anytime after three months. I could hardly feed her, her reactions were so funny!!! I was laughing so hard(ya I'm rude) But thanks Mindy for being camera lady. After I found out that Kaydence did have a messy bum(1 of 2 for the week) so that might have been part of her mad faces. I can't get the video to download I'll try again later.

House & Yard

Her first of many tutu's, I might add I think she likes it ha ha

Before (old roof and small man doing the work for john)

After( I can't wait til we save up for our stucco and rock! GOOD BYE NASTY BLUE.

This was in late September when it was still warm. Her face shows my thoughts on my huge untamed yard!
So I have been trying to clean up my yard, but that is a much harder task than I think it should be. I only can work 2 hours at a time (due to feedings), and it seems like it takes me an hour to get Kaydence bundled enough that I think she'll be OK. But it's too cold for her now so I have to wait til her grandma will watch her while I go work! Also we got new shingles. When we bought the house we knew we would have to do this but we thought John (and some friends) would have the time . Well I was getting nervous that the snow would hit before John could do it, so we found guy who gave us what we thought was a great deal! So after two days of banging and slamming up above we are done and no worries for another 15-30 years. So all you guys lucked out ha ha.

Our forgotten one!

Happy Halloween( dog, Lobster)

Evil WeedsWhat happens when Sadie meets,and plays in Evil Weeds!( 2 days of her biting me and me trying to get the stickers out, and we still had to take her in to get Shaved :( I was so sad.

so poor Sadie. She has defiantly been left out. Not on perpose, but her play time is very limitted and she only gets her hair done 2-3 times a week (it used to be every day!). But she did get very jelous of Kaydence(and why wouldn't she) so she started making messes in my new house(thank hevens she is over that. Now she is so funny to watch with the baby. She likes to lick her fingers and toes( ya it should gross me out) and also if she can get away with it law on her lap. She is so watchful of Kaydence to, if the baby is cry ing Sadie is to the rescue!

Pooo:)

So I thought my child was a freak of nature( a great one at that)She was only pooping like once a week and according to almost everyone else in the world that is NOT normal! I even talked to my doctor he said to watch it carefully it could be some scary sumac problem. Well unfortunately and fortunately she is now up three poops this week ha ha. I just thought it was interesting!!

My Honey Went for a good Cause....

Well John had a long weekend(the first in a long time might I add) and there was a fundraising skeet shoot for one of the local business owners(Snow Cap Lanes, Kelly Jacobson) He was in a serious 4- wheeling accident and has a huge bill to pay! So John signed up for a donation. He had tons of fun shooting with the guys in his group and to our suprise ended up winning!!!! Yahoo. He had his choice of 4 prizes this super sweet over under winchester It has some awesome game bird inscriptions and stuff. There were some other guns and knifes and a big screen tv to choose from but this took the cake in his book ( I was hoping for the big tv ha ha ours is a 27 inch oldie).

Her big day!

She is actually peeing on her blanket(hee hee)

John had to be to work (in Bountiful) by 6 that night.

This is after people have left!

On sunday we named our little one officially Kaydence Barclay! Her dad did an awesome job, and I cried ha ha. We had so much support thanks everyone for taking the time to come down. It was even kind of rainy. I decided to have soup, but I had 4 different kinds (Baked Potato, Cream of Broccoli, Chicken Noodle, and my grandma's Chilli) I served them out of big pumpkins and had pumpkin looking bread bowls to, I had some family bring relish trays also. I thought it all was super yummy,and hope everyone else did to. Thanks again.
