I used to be good at this blogging thing, but when I realized that it has been two years since I posted...I got a little sad.

In the last two years, things have definitely changed.  We have a new addition to our family.  Raegan Emilee Paxton was born August 5, 2013 at 6:28 AM.  She weighed 8 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 inches long.  I was really sick with her pregnancy.  The pregnancy was so different from Kenlee that I for sure thought I was having a boy.  But, to our surprise, she was a girl. :)  The seventh grand daughter on the Paxton side.  Prior to my delivery, I golfed in our company golf tournament on Friday and then on Sunday we went boating at Strawberry.  We got up early and went fishing (didn't really catch anything).  After fishing, Kenlee and I went to Ranae's (Sutter) baby shower at WenDee's.  On the way home from the shower, I started having close contractions.  It was about 8P.  When I got home I went to bathroom and had spotted.  I told Kevin and he got excited that we were going to have a baby.  I took a shower, put Kenlee in the shower and we figured out who was going to watch Kenlee for the night.  We packed our bags, Kevin showered and then my mom took Kenlee to Lily's for her first friend sleep over.  Kenlee was so excited for her first sleep over to for her little sister to be here.

"Are you mad?" and "I know this song"

So many things have happened since my last post in April. Back in February, Kevin and I went on a cruise with our good friends (Riley and Britt, Cody and Stacie, Bart and Elizabeth, and Kevin and Brenda). We went on a cruise to the Southern Caribbean. We had a blast. The day before we left, we took Kenlee to a pizza and games place. It was so hard to leave her. On the cruise, we went to St. Thomas, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts and St. Maarten. The weather was beautiful. We mostly spent our time relaxing at the beaches. In Barbados, we went on a catamaran and in St. Lucia we went on a tour with Harod. His mom and dad made us lunch, we sat in a minderal bath, saw the island and then finished the day at the white sand beach. We all had a great time and I wish we could go back there.

After the cruise, we went to NASCAR. Kenlee, mom and Aunt Tracy came with us. Since we just got back from the cruise, most of our friends were unable to go to NASCAR. So, we took Kenlee. She was so good and had an absolute blast.

Car Accident | Everyone seems okay

Yesterday Kevin and Kenlee were in a car accident. The day started out crazy. I took Kenlee to see Dr. Kelly as she wasn't feeling well and after being there for nearly two hours we found out that she had an ear infection. :( After her appointment, I took Kenlee to school and I came in to work. Kevin and I wanted to keep her from being at school too long so we both decided to check her out early. I had Kevin stop by work and grab Kenlee's rx so he could drop it off at the pharmacy and I could pick it up. After he picked up the rx, we both decided to go and pick Kenlee up from school and surprise her. She was so excited to see us. :) They dropped me off back at work and I went in to the gym and within 5 minutes Kevin called me. He started off by saying "we are okay, but we have been in an accident". My heart dropped to the ground. I ran out of the office, hopped in the trunk and headed their way. When I arrived, Kenlee was crying and so was I. We both then called down and made sure that everyone was ok. The gentleman who hit us was a wreck too. I guess what happened was that on the other side of Bangerter there were several cops drawing guns on a girl in her vehicle. This caused drivers to stop and stare. Kevin had to slam on his breaks and he had enough time to look in the rearview mirror and see this guy coming quickly. He took his foot off the brake and had one second to try and move the car to the side of the road in hopes of missing the car in front of him. Luckily he didn't hit the car in front of him, but the gentleman did rear end them at about 40 mph. The paramedics came and checked Kenlee out and she seemed to be okay. We have been watching her like a hawk. They towed both cars away and everyone seems okay.


Things like this definitely put life in to perspective. I am so glad my family is safe.

There's a spot for you over here....

Kenlee has been saying the funniest things. "Dad, are you done?" and he said "yes". She then said "Yeah! There is a spot for you over here". :) Last night, Kevin was putting our new video camera together in the kitchen, while my mom, Kenlee and I were in the family room watching TV. When Kevin got up from the table she asked him, "Dad, are you done?" and he said "yes". She said "Yeah! There is a spot for you over here". :)
Also yesterday Kenlee was looking for Charlee. When I asked her why she was looking for her, she said, "because she is my best friend". :)
What else is new? She is loving her Tangled Barbie. She loves combing her hair. Just the other night Kenlee woke up panicked. She was calling out for Tangled. Wondering where Tangled was. I got up, found Tangled and took her up to Kenlee. Kenlee was so excited when I handed her her doll. She smiled, took Tangled in her arms and went to sleep.
