Blessing Day

Kapp got blessed on the Fourth of July,

which couldn't have been more perfect,

because the Fourth is a favorite holiday around our house

Chris gave a beautiful blessing,

  How amazing for a little boy,

 to be surrounded by so many worthy preisthood holders,

who love him so much,

words cannot express...

And the blessing boy wore his dad's blessing outfit,

He was perfect all day long

It is so amazing to have so much support

 from both our families and loved ones

we feel so blessed

Notice the two Lookers in the middle:)

His Story

His Story

We got to the hospital at 6:30am on the 21st to be induced. They started the pitocin by 7 and we were on our way.....

We watched Notting Hill to pass the time, then things started to get more intense so we started focusing on breathing and doing pressure points, as I was aimng for another Natural Childbirth....

And I must just say that Chris is absolutley awesome, even our nurses were so impressed with how he helped me, doing everything I asked, and things I didn't even ask. He was so great.  I know I couldn't have done it with out him...

Things started to really pickup around 10:30, they gave me a drug to help me relax and half hour later we started pushing. With both of my kids, I am dialated to a 6 forever, then within a couple contractions I am fully dialated and pushing.  So we pushed for 10 minutes and finally found out we were having a sweet little boy!Alot of people thought we were absolutely crazy to not find out what he was, but the moment that Chris told me, with tears in his eyes, that it was a boy, was a moment that I will cherish forever!

The Eve

We had a great Christmas Eve this year, Brent was staying with us

and we went to my parents house for for our traditional dinner and the Nativity

We had a interesting Nativity, Demps was supposed to be Mary and Milo Joseph, however after a few costume changes they changed their minds. Mary still wanted baby Jesus and then Joseph wanted him also, so a couple fights and 3 Jesus babydolls later, we started.

At the end, Demps decided she wanted to be the baby Jesus,

 and she laid down in the manger. Not quite the original story, but it worked 

After the Production
Dempsey was so excited to open her Christmas Eve PJ's

And she looked so darn cute in them

This was the only picture I got of her in them standing,

and it's from the back, oops

My PJ's

We Are Here!!

We are still here.......... I know it's been awhile,

 but now we're back and going to play catch up

So here we go! 

First Things First:  Chris Graduated from UVU!!

Yeah, Hooray, Yippee,

Dempsey and I couldn't be more excited, proud, happy, delighted, ecstatic,

enthused, etc. that we get to see Chris alittle more!

Although, now comes the fun part of GRAD school

but in the meantime we will enjoy every spare second we get with him!

This was the night he took his last final!!

 So we went to celebrate at Red Robin,

and yes, Dempsey LOVES corndogs!

Shopping

I Love Shopping

Chris Loves Shopping

So

It only makes sense that

Dempsey Loves Shopping too

And she does

This morning Demps and I ventured up to our Favorite mall {fashion place}

These are some of my favorite things

 about shopping with Dempsey

1. Stopping at every store window to admire its contents, esp. the ones with lights

2. Stopping in front of everystore with loud music playing to dance

3. Climbing in and out and in and out of your chair at the food court

4. Showing me every item she likes and, saying,"Look Mom, Cute"

5. Spotting and yelling, "Shoes" everytime we pass any shoes {mens, womens, kids, grandmas, etc.}

6. Eating Lunch - which for Dempsey consisted of French Fries,

Graham Crackers, and Lemonaide

{Everytime she'd take a drink she would make a sour face,

 but she kept drinking it. Funny}

7. Stopping to share your graham crackers with a random little girl in a stroller.

{I guess Dempsey thought she looked hungry}

Anytime you go anywhere with Dempsey, it's always an adventure

 However,

 I LOVE LOVE LOVE going shopping with that girl,

and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that she LOVES it!

Dempsey found these perfect little chairs,

in between every store window

They were the the perfect little space for her

Such a Free Spirit...
