Kindergarten Graduation and Closing!

By -
The last couple of weeks have been really crazy for us. Today was Savanna's Kindergarten Graduation. It was really great. At the graduation all the kids got to tell what they wanted to be when they grew up. Savanna said she wanted to be a doctor. It was pretty funny what some of the other kids wanted to be. One wanted to be a McDonald's worker, another a spy, cat rescuer, power puff girl, super model, to name a few. Savanna had a great teacher and a fun class. Last night I put her to bed, and about an hour later she was sobbing so I went to see what was going on. She was upset that school was almost over. She also has a friend that is moving at the end of the summer, and her teacher might not be back next year due to a decline in registration for next year's kindergarten. She was so sad that she might never see her teacher again! We talked it out and she finally went to bed feeling better, but it is a big stress for her right now. Poor girl.

We also closed on our house today!!! Ya-hoo!!! I am so excited. Everything just fell right into place, and we feel like it was meant to be. Heavenly Father has blessed us with so many extra's with this home, that I never expected to get. I want to do a little painting and a little sanitizing, though the house looks very clean (our sellers left it in excellent condition), and gradually move everything over. I have been going through all of our stuff the last couple of weeks trying to de-junk everything. You would think that since we moved a year ago, we wouldn't have that much to go through. It is crazy how much stuff kids can accumulate in a short year. I will post some pictures of our new home when we get some.

That is so exciting! Having your own house is the best, especially when you get to paint what ever color you want. Congrats on finally having a house of your own.

Meet our son,Porter Harrison Kelly

Porter Harrison Kelly was born Saturday, April 24 th by c-section. He was 6lbs 14 0z. and 19 inches long. We named him after his brother, who we feel has been here with him, helping him fight for life. He seemed to have some trouble with his lungs so they brought him to the NICU . To make a long story short, he kept going down hill, and found himself first on a ventilator and then an oscillating ventilator. He hemorrhaged in his lungs, had to be on blood pressure meds , and had to have numerous tests done on his brain, heart, and lungs. They think that he got an infection, but will never know for sure because many of the tests were inconclusive. Thankfully he is doing much better, and should be home in a couple of days. He was one sick kid, but so cute. I didn't get to hold him for a few days, almost a week after his birth. It was heaven being able to finally hold him. Here are some pics of our little guy. Nick had to wear some pretty cool things over his clothes for the...

We have BIG news!

We are going to have another little boy. I am 20 weeks along, and found out today that our baby is a boy. We are pretty excited. Savanna and Madalyn really wanted the baby to be a boy. We let them come to the ultrasound to see the baby, and afterwards Savanna told me she was really lucky. I asked her why and she told me that she always gets what kind of baby she wants. She really wanted Emma to be a girl, and now we're having what she wants again. I told Emma that we are going to have a little baby boy, and she told me "I don't want that kind." I asked her what she wanted and she said " A baby girl!" Oh well, you can't make everyone happy. Nick and I are excited and we are all going out to eat tonight to celebrate.

My House

Okay, so I have finally gotten around to posting pictures of my house. I have been really busy with getting the yard work done, and I am still not caught up like I would like to be. It is coming along though, and I love my house. This is the front view This is the front facing the side. Nick is closing the gate to the backyard. Notice the rainbow in the sky. This is the flower patch in the front yard. It still needs a little weeding, but it's not too bad. This is the other side of the front yard. I love the rock. This is my garden in the backyard. I should have taken a "before" picture. It was covered in weeds. Getting it weeded has taken a lot of time! This is a rainbow that was outside our home on the fourth of July. This is the living room. I didn't pick it up before I took pictures, so you get to see books, shoes and other kid stuff. This is the kitchen/dining area. Madalyn and Savanna were working on puzzles. This is Emma in our family room, and her...
