Be a Girl Shoot Follow up

Somehow I forgot to post about this!

Remember when we had the Be a Girl benefit shoot

Well we ended up raising $2000 to donate

The people at the Susan G Komen foundation heard the details of the shoot and they wanted dad to come down dressed up to present the check

Here is my mom.. and drag dad lol

How many other dads are that awesome.. pretty sure none

Also on a side note

Mom and Dad went to a UBA banquet the other day

Mom WON in a raffle a BRAND NEW fully set up Hoyt Vicxen bow

Its all pink and camo

Here is her with the President of Hoyt Randy Walk

Congrats Mom!

SNOW

Sunday was a complete blizzard!!

Chris and all his friends went snowmobiling

They left early in the morning and headed to Tonys Grove area

He doesnt have cell service there and really doesnt til he gets to the base of Logan Canyon

I sat at work and watched the snow fly..

This was when it started

and this was about 5 minutes later

It was coming down so fast and so hard

By the time I left there were snow drifts next to my car and it hadn't let up at all

Drive home was NASTY
It was 430 by this point and we still hadnt heard anything from Chris

He promised he would text as soon as he got cell service so we knew he was safe and no one was hurt

The blizzard hadn't let up any at all

In fact it had gotten worse

By the time I made it to 1100 s in Brigham they had Sardine Canyon shut down and Logan Canyon

This is looking towards Sardine

You cant even see the TOC sign through the snow

Still hadnt heard from any of the boys

Went home

Sunk my car in the snow in the driveway

Got ready to head over to Todd and Jana's for dinner

Had to take the other car because mine was buried

Still no word from Chris

I was starting to get a little concerned by this point

The blizzard has been raging for hours

Both canyons they need to drive through are closed 

Finally after about an hour at his parents house I heard from him

They were good and just coming out of Logan Canyon

Chris came to his parents house where he had a lunch packed and drove straight to work to spend the whole night plowing until about 0430.. slept in his truck for a few hours and had to be at a training for work at 8 am in SLC

Awesome Sitters

I have some of the bestest friends ever!

They always help me out with sitter when I need them

Kennedy got to spend time with Hailey the other day and Brooklyn came over too

Hailey bough water beads and they loved them

Made playdough

Played with Andrews handcuffs

I got a phone call from Kennedy at work

"Mom! I put Hailey in Andrews handcuffs..."

and then the line went dead

Hailey told Kennedy to put her pants on

She didnt realize she needed to be more specific

Sunday Kennedy went and hung out with Ashley

She did some laundry

Played with Uncle Derek and RyBug

She was jumping on the bed and got put in jail

except she liked it ha

Day 26

Day 26-Camo Princess

The reason the whole blog title started when I changed over to this blog from the old one was because Kennedy always called me and her Camo Princesses

It just kind of stuck

My parents found this sticker for me the other day at Scheels!

Look how perfect

AND to add to it, we had to send my ring back to the company because the coating was starting to peel and its under warranty so we had to look it up online and the ring style is called Camo Princess ha!

Day of Life 26-Fog and Snowmobiles

I made some yummy philly cheese steak fries from some deer steaks we had

It was amazing and tender mmmm

Chris is spending Sunday snowmobiling with the boys

He hasnt got to go out at all this year.. new job.. being broke lol..being a dad now.. hasnt left him a lot of play time

Im so glad hes going out to go and that his sister is sweet enough to watch Kennedy while I work

We had to go down and meet the guys to load their snowmobiles

The fog was STILL so THICK

We met at the storage sheds

While all the boys played and loaded sleds Kara came over and we talked wedding plans

Her and Coltin are planning a wedding to so it was all girl talk!

Shes such a sweetheart!

While us girls talked Miss Kennedy was in the back seat playing games on my phone.. and apparently taking pictures of herself

Surprise!

George Straight - Martina McBride Concert

Friday after work we took Kennedy down to Grandma JaNeale and Grandpa Jimmys work in SLC

She got to hang out at Strong Volkswagen and eat dumbdumbs.. visit with the ladies in the office.. add up a few things on the calculator 

Mom, Daddy Chris, Grandpa Todd and Grandma Jana headed to our hotel for a little over night getaway!

My mom hooked us up with a sweet hotel room

She has a TON of points from all her FEMA adventures and was nice enough to get us pretty awesome rooms

We had a King suite on the 7th floor

Todd and Jana had a business suite on the 4th floor

Chris felt so special because you had to have key access in the elevator to get to our floor :)

He was totally impressed

I told him thats what happens when you hang out with me.. you are upgraded in life haha

We put our stuff in our rooms and headed down to meet Todd and Jana.. we looked over the floor and there they were waiting for us

We went to Chilis for dinner mmmm

It was so good!

Our waiter was AWESOME

I had an El Presidente Raspberry Margarita with dinner

Wow it was wonderful!

After dinner we drove over to the concert

First act was Martina McBride

I love her

I think she has an amazing voice and is so pretty and fun

She sang some really good songs and put on a good show

Me and the soon to be hubby

Todd and Jan

They boys HAD to wear their beer hats they got for Christmas

They were so excited for the concert to get to wear them

They got SO MANY compliments on them

People were constantly stopping them and asking where they got them

Chris impressed all the girls cause he knew they came off Etsy.. and that he knew what Etsy was ha!

Me and Todd

Then it was time for a lil George Straight

I had never been to one of his concerts before

I couldnt believe how much older he looked 

He put on a pretty good show too

A lot more mellow

They gave away a HOUSE to an Army family where the dad had been pretty injured in a tour in Iraq

This boy here just melts my heart

I cant believe how absolutely LUCKY I am and how much I love him

He was singing me songs all night long and all I could do was sit there and blush and smile

He still makes me feel like a giddy girl

After the concert we headed to the hotel for our very first hotel stay together

Chris went out to get some ice and was invited to a hotel room full of girls for a party

He turned it down :) 

We had breakfast at the hotel the next morning.. looked out the big windows surrounding the dinning room and watched the thick fog just get thicker

Some deer wandered down through the trees as we were eating

Then it was time to go get Peanut and head back home

It was a very nice much needed date night!

And it couldn't have happened with out all the amazing family we have!

Day 25

My little glow light monkeys in the back of the car

I took Kennedy and Kinlie over to Elyshas in the morning on my way to work

They each had their glow lights going in the back seat and were just a giggling

Peanut spent the night at Grandma JaNeales house

I think they all had a little too much fun playing cooties and dont break the ice!

VCUG

Early Thursday morning we headed down to Mckay for Kennedys 2nd VCUG

It was ICE outside everywhere

My windshield had a nice thick layer of ice on it so I let it warm up for a good 30 min

It was nice and clear

Had my defrost on and hopped on the freeway

Within one mile my windshield started to ice up

I ended up having to have my defrost on high and my window cracked because it was too hot in the car but my windshield wouldnt stay clear!

This is what it looked like when I took the 31st exit

We went in to radiology and met with the sweet nurses

Kennedy has done this before back in 2010.. she knows the ropes

She was telling the nurse about veins and your heart

They have this kit full of toys that they are going to use on them so they know what to expect and give them a  doll to draw on

A book full of pictures of the rooms they are going to go into and what will happen

I LOVE Mckay Peds

They drugged up Kennedy with a nasal mist after all the check here, lets look at this, play with this

Read her two books while they meds kicked in.. started a movie for her on the dvd player

She was so out of it

They told her she as going on a princess parade and she had to wave to everyone we passed in the hallway

And gave her a sucker so she didnt have to taste the medicine

Here we are on the princess parade

They set her up with her movie.. and had to put a catheter in

She was NOT happy about that.. not one bit and when the got the first catheter in she moved her hips right at the crucial point and they had to insert another one

They took xrays of her bladder, ran a drip of fluids up into the catheter.. one and a half bottles full, then made her pee out the catheter into a pan and xrayed the whole time and process

I LOVE THIS WOMAN RIGHT HERE

Her name is Jenn

We have dealt with her anytime Kennedys needed any sedation.

She is AMAZING

SO sweet. She follows up

Gives you her cell number if you have any questions or issues 

When it came time to leave she walked us to the door and Kennedy wouldn't stop hugging her and she waved to us all the way to the car

We left the hospital and went to visit Dad at work

Talked to him for a few minutes and Kennedy said she felt good enough to get groceries even though she couldn't  walk cause she was too tipsy

I put her in the cart and she was out of control!!!

Singing to herself

She had imaginary friends that were with her and they were having conversations

She picked out a lunch-able and kept holding it up to her eye, looking through it and laughing 

She was too dang funny!!

**Well her Dr just called.. Her re flux has actually gotten worse.. She was a 3 and is a 4 now. Which means we just scheduled an ultrasound and consult with Primary Children's .. and will most likely have to do surgery.. 

bla! 

Her flap that stops the urine from going back up into her kidney is twisted and almost seems like its working backwards.. it lets the urine in but doesn't seem to let it back out until shes asleep or really relaxed.. which accounts for all the heavy night time wetting through her pull up

Its only on the right side

The left side functions properly but the right allows the urine to go all the way back up the ureter and into the kidney

When she gets infections it leaves scar tissue

So we will see what they say in a few weeks when we go down there

Kennedys cake

Kennedy made her very first cake this weekend

Spice cake with cream cheese frosting and pink sprinkles of course

She loved making it and it tasted so yummy

Life 21-24

Day 21

I love that my father in law texts me good morning every morning!

He does to all his kids

I was sick and came home from work 

I felt like poop

Layed down to take a nap and was asleep for a few hours

Chris was working on projects and running around

I heard him start the vacuum.. in fact it woke me up

I figured he would only vacuum for a min or two and be done.. we only have so much carpet downstairs

but he kept vacuuming and vacuuming and vaccuming

For like 45 minutes!!

I finally got up to see what the hell and he wasnt vacuuming at all ha!

He was sanding our treat stands for the wedding :)

Day 22

Totally random

But it cracked me up he sat on the couch and when he got up his wallet, pocket, and wrangler patch imprint was embedded into the fabric

My happy place

Tanning bed and diet coke

My tummy still felt like poop and McDonalds diet coke is the best

I have THE WORST dry skin ever

Horrible

I really on tan in the winter and it has helped my dry skin so much

It helps stop the itching and staves off the eczema from starting

Dont have to be super tan just a nice little top coat ha!

Day 23

Crazy child... 

Wednesdays are our date nights since Chris has fire drill

We watched My Little Mermaid the begining

Got ice cream

Played with pictures

Played on Pinterest

Listened to music

Then she fell asleep next to me in bed :)
