Kaydence's First School Pictures

Kaydence has loved going to pre-school this year! She will wake up out of a dead sleep if I tell her she has school today! She goes to school at Roy High in the Royal Tot Pre-school. She has a large class, but has a lot of teachers that she loves! It has been a nice break in the morning for me I can get things done without her everywhere. I can also exercise so much easy because when Kaydence does it with my I just end up laughing so hard I can't breathe! Everything else is going well for our family, nothing new right now we will keep ya posted!

Halloween Time

We have had such a fun week! Erin came home to visit with the kids so we had to go get pictures taken! I usually do Kaydences pictures around her birthday every year and have not had a chance to do it yet. So we decided to do a few along with the family. They turned out so cute and the kids did really well suprisingly! Kaydence loves having Maddie here! She was such a big helper trying to change Kalab and playing with him. She will be a good big sister some day. A week goes by too fast, and I know Kaydence will be sad when they leave on Tuesday, but we love it when they visit!

The trying continues.....

So as many of you know, if you don't you will know now, that we have been trying to have another baby for well over a year now. This has been exhausting and frustrating I really don't know how people do this for year after year, I am way too impaitent. I started going to my doctor after we hit the year mark for ultra sounds to time ovulation. This can get time consuming and costly with gas and missed hours at work. I didn't really mind because I really want a baby and I have a great OB, best doctor around seriously! Well this month my folicles just decided to do a whole lot of nothing, just sit there. So after several visits and no progress and the look of my ovaries, he said I had PCOS which is poly cystic ovarian syndrome. Which means that my ovaries have created this beautiful pearl necklace effect and none of them are becoming "ripe" to pop, in other word nobody is going down the slide to meet the swimmers at the park called my uterus. No eggs = no baby creating. So next step is medicince called Metaformin. Since PCOS can cause insulin resistiance, which causes great side effects like weight gain, acne and hair growth, but not on your head. So if any of you are wondering wow, Amber really let herself go, just remeber it is not 100 % my fault, trust me, I hate it! So today I started the medicine and try to continue to be positive, which is very hard. I have felt lost lately and frustrated at something that came so easy the first time is causing me so many problems this time. I know the lord has a plan for us and I need to learn from this situation. I also know how blessed I am to have a wonderful husband who puts up with so much and is always supportive, and I have a beautiful daughter that we both love dearly! I am okay that if I do not have any more children biologically that there are plenty of kids out there that need a loving home, no matter what race or culture they come from. I am also thinking about taking applications for those of you out there who would like to lend me your uterus, just for about nine or ten months. :)

Our growing girl!

Kaydence had her well child check today. She often got this confused and called it her wheel chair check. I had to explain to her that she needed to go to the doctor when she had her birthday every year to make sure she was healthy. She was a whole 39 lbs and 41 1/2 inches tall. This was her first year getting to do the eye test. For the younger kids the have the eye chart with the symbols and pictures. When the nurse asked her what this sign was + she said the Ambulance. The nurse was very suprised she had never heard that one before. Then she was so excited for the doctor to finally come in to see her. He told her how big she was and that he remembered when she was just a little baby and she said ya mama wants another baby. I just laughed at her she doesn't keep anything private sometimes. She was able to get her flu vaccine through a nasal mist. Ya no shots! She thought that was great, and I was very happy to get one as well. The only down fall of her appointment is that the doctor said she has a Still Heart Murmur, which worried me. The doctor explained that it is very normal and he was not worried about it. He also said it was very common at this age. After doing my own research I realized that it was very normal and common, which helped ease my fears. All in all she is healthy and happy and very active little girl.

Happy Birthday Kaydence

Happy Birthday baby girl, we love you so much and can't beleive you are already four! This slide show are pictures through out her life, even a picture of her at the very end with Kyle Korver from the Utah Jazz, she just meet him today and was so excited! Happy Birthday Kaydence!

Updates

Sorry no pictures with this blog update, don't have time or the right equipment to update at my house so you just get to read. Sorry if that bores you I did give you fair warning. I thought I would up date on how we are doing.

~ Kaydence is almost four, I can't believe it. She gets smarter everyday, and says some of the funniest things. She turns four on Sept 12 and then she will be starting pre school a Roy High. We are very excited so she will have more interaction with kids than adults hopefully that means she will pick up less swear words ( she learns them from grandma) and she will make new friends. She cannot wait and she tells me she is going to school everyday. She got a new rolling back pack from Grandma Peggy that goes with her everywhere. Josh liked the idea of her going to Roy because he knows the teacher, plus she will get plenty of one on one attention which she needs.

~We are getting new windows, I know how excited you are so try to calm down. We have needed 3 new windows since we moved in and I can't wait to have a bathroom window that is frosted not clear, thank goodness when do not have back yard neighbors, I only flash the Gardner when he is out weeding ;)

~Along with windows we are going to attempt some DIY projects like painting and refinishing our cupboards, it doesn't sound too hard but we will see. We just want to increase the value of our house when it comes time to sale. Any tips let me know

~We are currently working on getting the baby making machine working properly. I have become BFFs with my ob/gyn the past week and a half visiting him 5 times, trying to find out the exact time the ball is going to drop. We hope that we will get positive results soon, it gets exhausting working over time.

~Josh's brother and sister in law are back in the state and we have been spending a lot of time with them. We are glad they made it home safely and are excited to see where they will be placed for recruiting. We had a rough summer last year and are glad to be off to a new start with them.

Josh continues to do well at his job and really enjoys it. He is such a people person and seems to draw others to him. This comes in handy in many areas of our life. I am very proud of how hard he works for us and all he accomplishes. Thats about it for updates nothing too exciting I know I will post more pictures soon.
