Happy Campers

Who am I? Camping with a baby?! I would have NEVER done any of the things I've done with Kenley as a baby with my other kids. In fact when Paisley was a baby I made Jeff do a day trip to the cabin with his family because I refused to spend the night in the cabin. A cabin... In doors, heat, water, bathrooms...
Ok so I did sleep in my Dad's RV this trip, but still I was so proud of my self. Dang postpartum depression has robbed me from all these fun experiences in the past but I am so thankful that it has not been that way this time. Any who that's a whole other post on it's own.  

The weekend before mason left on his mission we were able to take one last family vacation. It was a quick over night camping trip but it was so much fun, beautiful location and amazing weather. 


I think one of the best things to do as a kid is to camp! It is totally their element and it is so fun to watch them run around and get dirty! Our girls had a blast with cousins and family. 
 I'd camp every day of my life if I didn't have to sleep. haha I LOVE camping but absolutely hate sleeping while camping. The nights are long and horrible sleeping in a tent with kids. Some how, I convinced Jeff to sleep in the tent with the girls while Kenley and I slept in the RV with my dad. It made it bearable. 
Reggie picked the camping spot and it was perfect! There was a near by lake that we spent both days playing in the water, rafting and fishing. It's safe to say fun was had by all who attended this camping trip. Can't wait to go back! 

Best Vacation EVER!

The Best Vacation EVER! At the end of August we headed out to California to stay at the Moonlight Beach Motel. This is quickly becoming one of our families favorite vacation spots. I was a little nervous bringing along a new born but it turned out to be just fine and I'd do it again! We had so much fun! We went with my Mom, Mason, Kelsey and Craig. We had 2 rooms right next door to each other and it was non stop fun all day. 
 Eating breakfast in our room. The motel had The Disney Chanel and these girls were in heaven watching fun cartoons every morning. I can't believe we are "that" family with Disney deprived kids ;) 
 We spent everyday on the beach and loved every minute of it. It was so relaxing to just hang out and let the kids play in the sand and the big kids boogie board. 

 I tried my best to keep Kenley in the shade all day but she still got a little sun burnt the first day. After that I made sure she never saw day light :) 
 The girls LOVED the sand, Paisley loved it so much she decided to roll around in it until she was covered head to toe. 
 Boogie boarding was amazing as always. We finally all got smart and invested in some good boards and we all had a blast riding the waves. 
 With Mason getting so close to leaving on his mission it was so nice to just be together with family. We just wish that everyone could have came. 
 Every night we would leave the beach hurry back to our rooms to shower and change and then walk down main street to get some dinner. It was pure bliss and I can't wait to do it again! 

 One of our all time favorite place is this pizza place with the giant slice! The pizza is huge and so yummy! 
Until next time! 

3 Months Old


3 Months Old!

Kenley is growing up WAY too fast! She still is the best baby ever! She is all smiles now and we love it. She has even started to let out some giggles. A babies laugh is one of the best noises in the world! She gets fatter and fatter every day and I LOVE IT! She is heathy and happy. She is still sleeping great. She still does about 4-5 hour stretches and heck I'll take it! She loves her sisters so much. Liberty is a little mommy and just wants to help out with everything. She even has started to ask to change diapers. Paisley can't get enough of Kenley. If Kenley is awake Paisley is up and in her face talking to her non stop. It's a mothers dream to watch all my 3 girls love on each other. 
No signs of rolling over yet, both of the other girls rolled over by now but they also HATED tummy time. Kenley LOVES tummy time. I think it's because she sleeps on her tummy, and it's because of that , that I'm in no hurry for her to learn how to roll over. 
Love you Baby Girl!
