Kaden, Kaiah, and Kennedi

Here are some recent pictures I have taken of the kids. Yesterday I took them over to the Rampart to snap a few Easter Pictures. Yes I will be sending out Easter cards but I haven't had a chance to create them yet.

I wish the kids enjoyed taking pictures as much as I do. I can't get Kennedi to sit still, Kaiah won't show teeth, and Kaden can take or leave the whole thing. Maybe I'll get lucky with the fourth child. I think they are all adorable and no matter what I'll never stop taking pictures.

Three Months Pregnant

This is the page I created for my month-to-month pregnancy scrapbook. I am now thirteen weeks pregnant and counting.

BABY BAWDEN

Here is the first glimps at BABY BAWDEN. Last week I went for my first trimester "early screening" and they sent me home with a couple ultrasound pictures. I got the call yesterday and they said my risks for the genetic testing they do during this phase is very very low. I guess that is a relief, however nothing is 100%.

My gut feeling still feels "BOY." I think I have narrowed the names down to Kent Thomas Bawden for a boy and Kamry Isabella Bawden for a girl. What is your opinion? I am set on the boy name but the girl is still open.

I am 13 weeks and feeling pretty good. I haven't experienced to much nausea but I'll tell you this little baby is sucking the life out of me. I'm tired 24/7 and I would love to lay around all the time. However with that being said the boss "Kennedi" would never allow that. I remember the days with the first pregnancy you could lounge on the sofa and take a nap or naps as long as you wanted to. HAAAA good luck now!

This pregnancy I thought I would attempt to do my own month to month scrapbook instead of paying someone else to do it. Since I can put my digital pages together on the computer I can share them with everyone. I know its kind of korny showing you all my tummy but these are the pictures I will be taking every month to show my progress. You all will get to enjoy my abnoxious belly button. As you can see its already starting to poke out. I can't stand it. Most pregnant women complain about weight gain and stretch marks, no I complain about the belly button. By the end of my pregnancy you all will feel sorry for me. I have a name for a little boy but I am still having a hard time deciding on a girls name. If any of you creative minds have suggestions please let me know. Of course it needs to start with the letter
"K" and somewhat original. What do you think about the name "Kamry?" I thought Kamry Isabella Bawden. Feedback would be appreciated.

Love, Jacquie

Kaiah's Valentine Party

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.

Kaiah's preschool class celebrated their valentine party last Tuesday. Ms. Robin put on a party for the children and their parents. We all sat around singing and playing games. At the end the kids got to decorate cookies and they made ice cream sundaes. Ms. Robin is such a wonderful teacher and Kaiah just loves her so much.

Happy First Birthday Kennedi

Happy Birthday day to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to K*e*n*n*e*d*i, happy birthday to you. We had a little party at the house for Kennedi's first birthday. We had Buon Gusto Cater the food and Grandma Barbara made a delicious cake. We just can't believe how fast this first year has gone by for our little princess. Kennedi still has very little hair and has six teeth now. She is not showing any signs of walking anytime soon. She has been saying dadda I think since she was born hehehe, but last week I heard her say mama for the first time. She loves to hear her self scream as loud as she can. She even likes to find a hand in the dog bowl for an afternoon snack, YUCK! I had another child who liked dog food and that was Kaiah. Sister like sister!! I want to thank all of you who spent time with Kennedi on her birthday and especially for all the wonderful gifts. We love you.....

My Children....

I was looking over some quotes the other day and this one just really hit home.

"To Be In Your Children's Memories Tomorrow, You Have To Be In Their Lives TODAY!"

WOW, that is pretty powerful. I think most of you can agree with me but I find myself getting wrapped up in the day to day grind. I honestly have to stop and remind myself that its ok to leave the dishes in the sink and the laundry can wait another day. Its our children that need us the most and they should not have to wait.
