Ah get it

2 months

Abigail is 2 months old and has big smiles when she is in a good mood. She was a rather onery little one for awhile, we found she has acid reflux and after she was on antacids for a little while she is a much happier baby. She doesn't like tummy time and fusses nearly every time I lay her on her stomach but she has to deal with it for a little while every day. Some days Abi isn't to sure of her big sis and all the kisses she gets but deals with it very well. I love that she is a pretty good sleeper. She wakes on an average twice a night to eat and get a diaper change. Katie still wakes up more than that wanting a drink. We love our little Abi and are enjoying watching her do new things, she is a cutie!

Family Pictures 2009

On Saturday morning we went to Target to get Family Pictures done as well as some pictures of our girls. It started out well and we thought we had some good pictures but we soon found out the cable that sends the pictures from the camera to the computer had stopped working and we lost more than half our shoot. So we re-shot some but by then the girls were tired and not cooperating any longer. Oh well here are some of the pictures.

Katie was so excited to hold Abi although Abi was sad about it.

I think this is a cute picture but John doesn't like crying pictures.

Halloween 2009

We attended the 5th annual Rynearson Halloween Party this year and are proud to say we've attended all 5 of them. We enjoyed being with friends. On Halloween we went to our wards trunk or treat I handed out candy and help Abigail while John took Katie around to get some candy. John thought he would have to hold her candy bucket when it got to heavy but once Katie realized she was getting candy in it she held it tight and wouldn't let go. We left a bit early to go to dinner with John's brother Bobby and his friend Emily we then went home and enjoyed watching The Three Amigo's which was appropriate for our costumes.

John and I were Mexicans and our girls were skeletons.

Abigail's blessing.

Abigail was blessed October 11, 2009 in the Taylorsville 15th ward. John gave her a beautiful blessing and we were so happy to have many righteous men in our family able to be in the circle. It was a busy day for blessings in our ward, there were three other babies blessed a boy by the Banks family and twin girls by the Thomas's.


I made Abi's blessing dress and bonnet. The bonnet is made from a handkerchief I received while in young women's when the bountiful temple was dedicated and I attended the broadcast at our stake center. I found the pattern to make it online.

The dress pattern I made my self with guidance from a sewing blog I found. The fabric is what makes the dress.

Isn't the fabric so pretty?! I think so.

Katie was a good girl most all day although her nap was way late and the fact there were so many people around.

Our little family.

By the end of the day Abi was so tired she hadn't gotten much sleep during the day with so much happening. Her shirt says "I'm the little sister".

Thanks to all family and friends who were able to come and celebrate Abigail with us. And those who couldn't make it we appreciate your love and support for our family.

Nothing new.

There is nothing new going on with us I just have pictures I want to share.

Abigail doesn't mind tummy time for the most part. Katie likes it too, she has to try and lay on the play mat with her sister.

Sleeping soundly.
Can you believe Katie is 22 months old. She has gotten to be such a big girl. Binki's have become a nap, night time, and stressful situation(Dr. visits) thing. Without the binki Katie is talking a lot more, John and I are surprised at the large vocabulary she has.

I like CHEESE!

Introducing Abigail

Thursday Sept. 3rd Abigail Alicia finally made her appearance. We have been waiting with anticipation to meet her. She was born at 6:10pm weighing 9 lbs 1 oz and 21 inches long with brown hair.

Abigail and mommy.

That morning I had a pregnancy check up at 9:50am I was called back but shortly after my Dr had a delivery. We (John and Katie had come with) waited an hour or so and she was back. My blood pressure was high and also I hadn't felt the baby move so far that day so she sent me down to be monitored. While being monitored I went into labor, John ran Katie home to stay with my parents then returned for a fun filled afternoon of labor. Delivery went smoothly and baby girl is healthy. We didn't have a name for her until the next morning but are glad we decided on one before leaving the hospital. On Saturday we brought Abigail home. Katie is in love with her sister and loves to kiss her on the top of the head. Abigail is like her sister in that she loves her binky already. They also have the same cute nose.

Ready to go home.

Yay I'm home!
