Kherrington is soo talented!!

Kherrington is OFF THE BOTTLE!!

(taken with jords phone) This is how we get toys out of the bucket she will push her car to where she wants it and will climb on it and dig around lol. She is a smart little girl

I love this picture of her in the bath tub!

Eating an oreo cookie her favorite thing to eat

Her second favorite thing to eat is strawberries!! yumm...she has to have her feet up whenever she is sitting (im the same way!

This is jordans way of teaching (brainwashing) her how to surf. She will sit there as soon as he turns it on and watches!!

My little baby is not so little anymore. She is walking everywhere...saying more words and shes even OFF THE BOTTLE! Thats right we are completely off at exactly 1 years old. It took me 4 days to do it! At first she was not having it and did not like the idea. But then i googled some tricks and now shes figured out that the sippy cup is the way to go!! She is tons of fun and I just love playing with her! Her favorite word of course is dada. Its so cute how she will say it if my phone rings or when shes looking for him. They are best friends!

Kherrington's Bday weekend!!

For Kherringtons Birthday we went down to Las Vegas. We met all of our family there(except for Ceteka Bryce and Cassie, and Adam! we missed you guys very much!) We went down Thursday night. Friday Jordan's dad, his wife, Jordans aunt and uncle all came to my moms house and we made the food for the HUGE Luau for Kherrington's Birthday! Saturday Kherrington got a special birthday breakfast, Waffles, strawberries, and whip cream!! After breakfast we opened presents then went swimming! Then it was party TIME!! Ken, Janie, and my parents all put it together they did a wonderful job! His aunt Licia, her daughter Ki and Jordans sister Kiana did the hula dances for us. Jordan and his dad did some dancing their selves as well! Then Ken and his two brothers played the Ukulele. It was tons of fun!

Kherrington is turning 1!

This is Dr. J. Thorpe he also helped Shani's doctor deliver Brighton!

I cannot believe how fast this year as gone by!! Seems like just yesterday I was counting down the days until she got here! I realized that I never posted my labor story so I thought that that its been a year now I should do it.

The week that I was due Jordan and I were trying everything to get this baby out...and I mean it. Then one of my good friends Sammi Sneed googled some things and Thursday the 14th we went out to try to put me in labor. First we ate SPicey chinese food. Then some pinneapple and then a little stroll around the mall. After that we decided to run to the grocery store and buy some CASTRO OIL. I went home and bid Sammi good bye as she was moving back to Vegas the next day. That night I mixed the oil into a milk shake. An hour later I was starting to feel some contractions. I called Shani who was in Washington and she told me to take a shower because it might be a couple of days til I shower next. So I got in the shower and the contractions kept coming. I got out dryed my hair and sat on the couch. Then it got really bad...all of the sudden they were 4-5 min apart and I was crying they hurt so bad. SO we grabed our bags and headed to the hospital. When we got there they were so bad and so close. We called Amy and told her that if she wanted to be here for the delivery she better come now. So she headed right over(she was very sweet the whole time and held my throw bag. Aw amies ur the best ). After a couple of minutes waiting for the epidural it got bad. I suddenly turned into that patient that scares everyone else in the hospital(i have no tolerance for pain) I was screaming with pain...then in the biggest contraction and at the peak of it my water broke. I felt my stomach squeezing together then a HUGE POP and water started coming out. I of course screamed louder as it hurt really bad. lol (like I said no tolerance for pain) after an hour they gave me the medicine...then something happened not to sure what but everyone was running around no one telling us anything re-adjusting me and looking around and all had nervous looks on their faces. After they calm down they tell us that the babys head had droped I went from a 6-10 in seconds, and they couldnt find her heart beat, They thought she just got really stressed and droped or something still not to sure but its ok she was fine now. After that I started pushing. After pushing a couple of times the head was there. We had to wait for for ever for the doctor to get there...which was awkward cuz here I was just hanging out with a little head poking out lol. Then he comes in and seriously just pulled her out. Besides the pain it was easy and short. only about 5 hours of labor.

Then we got to enjoy our little baby. She was beautiful! and perfect 21 1/2 inches and 7 lbs 12 oz. The next day Amy was very sweet and came in again and hung out with us. Then my parents came up to meet their first grand daughter. After that Shani, Chris, and Brighton came from Washington to meet her as well.

I love our little girl. She is the best baby. I know always say that but seriously she is. She is our little bundle of joy. and brings us such happiness.

a few of my favorite things

Kherringtons hair has gotten curly on the ends

shes going to be a reader!! she loves to grab a book and sit in ur lab and flip the pages

she LOVES stuffed animals i think she would rather those than anything else!

She has learned how to squeeze in between places to get where she wants to go

She also LOVES to crawl in and out of her car seat and the laundry baskets. She thinks it is soo much fun!

A few of my favorite Kherrington moments (not in order)

1. Listening to Kherrington laugh

2. Walking in from a long day of work and her saying "hi da" and crawling over to me and giving me the longest and biggest hug ever

3. Snuggling with Kherrington before she goes to bed

4.Watching Kherrington and Jordan together...she loves him so much and he is the biggest SUCKA for her!

5.Watching Kherrington put things in her mouth(like a spatula) and then looking over at you and laughing

6. Listening to all the unique noises that comes out of Kherringtons mouth.

7. Kherrington throwing herself around the floor cuz shes upset about something but isnt too sure why.

8. Watching Kherrington trying to walk with a huge smile on her face!

9. MY NEW FAVORITE OF ALL TIME IS BEING A MOMMY!

I love being a mom and it is soo fun. Every stage is the best ever! Kherrington is the best baby ever. Very well behaved and very happy. I love every moment we have together. I feel very blessed that my heavenly father would trust me in raising one of his children here on earth. She is by far the most special child ever. I love her so much and so grateful to have her in my life!

Two little monsters

Kherrington and Brighton are the best of buddies(and are two little monsters when they are together). Whenever they see each other Brighton will run over to Kherrington and give her a hug and kiss. They love to follow each other around and when in strollers they constantly reach for each other. When they are each others homes the other one will show them all their cool new places they have found to get into and play with new toys(aka all of Shani's and mine drawers that are full of things.) They are so cute together and are full of mischief.
