The Kenner Family: May 2011

Here is a catch up on some recent events :)

Chris and I spent Mother's Day weekend with the Kenner Family. It was so much fun! The Saturday before we all did the Race For The Cure to honor Ronda being cancer FREE for 3 1/2 years!!! Jack was an angel, we even got him a little sun hat to wear on the 3 mile walk. (We had to purchase it at Build a Bear because his head is so stinking tiny!)

Then on Mother's Day Chris woke me up with the cutest little package, Jack cuddling me on my belly. Boy, it feels GREAT to be a mommy! Chris surprised me with the HOTTEST shoes ever, a pair of earrings and matching necklace, and....a TREADMILL!!! I was shocked, I have been complaining lately about how much I want to get into shape and how much I REALLLLY wanted a treadmill...and guess what? He really does listen :) Then we headed over to Chris' parents church ward as a surprise and spent the rest of the day with them. Chris' mom is sooo sweet she made Jessica and I HUGE mother's day baskets and even personalized a stepping stone with Jack's foot prints for my garden!

Chris had the rest of the week off school for Summer break and we had A LOT of fun! We have been working on some redecorating and painted our bathroom, our bedroom, and my craft room! So now every room in the house is decorated and we even finally landscaped our front yard :) I have so much fun with him. And while we were sitting at Chili's just chatting Chris grabbed both my hands and said out of the blue, "There is no one else I'd rather pass the time with than YOU." Melted my heart because I enjoy his company, friendship and companionship more than anything. We went on many dates throughout the week, saw a movie, attended a baseball game, went to a REAL Salt Lake soccer game, and just soaked up every moment with our little family. Jack of coarse went everywhere with us. He is the BEST baby and he loves his mommy and daddy. Jack is now 5 weeks old!!! I can't believe it :( my baby is getting so big! We weighed him today and he is
officially 7 pounds!!!!!

I made the three wall hanging, I got the idea from my sister Ash

New Things about Jack
He is completely off oxygen.He loves his binky.He is always sucking on his hands and has ALREADY become quite the drooler.Jack LOVES his blankies he like to cuddle them close to his face.And sometimes he just needs his mommy, he will fuss and fuss and then all I have to do his hold him close to me add a few kisses to the top of his little head and he calms right down, it makes me feel like a super hero. Jack really enjoys his bouncer and to hear music playing, we love to sit and watch him stare at his toys with wide eyes and babble to them. Oh! And what a voice he has! Jack is ALWAYS grumbling and talking. He really loves to hear his voice and lets us know what's what! Needless to say, Chris and I are smitten. We love that little boy more than anything in the world and we are loving being parents. It's so nice to have someone to share your ideas and life with when they enjoy being a parent as much as you. Here are some pictures to brighten your day :D
