The Girls!

Just a couple of pictures of the girls(Hanna, Bella & Kennidee). My friend, Stephanie was in town recently and we got together at Marissa's house so the girls could play. It was so much fun watching the girls interact and play with eachother while the ladies were able to talk. Kennidee really took a lot of interest in Bella. Bella is about a year younger than Kennidee and I think Kennidee thought that she was one of her babies. Kennidee would not leave Bella alone, she kept wanting to hug her and by hugging I mean arms around the neck big bear hug. We had to pry Kennidee's arms away from Bella's neck several times. At one point we all were in the other room and all of a sudden we heard Bella screaming. Kennidee was on top of her trying to give her another hug!! Wow!! It will be very interesting around our house when this new baby comes!! Sorry Bella....we love you!!!

The Good Ole Days!

Remember the good ole days of college.....well we were lucky enough to get together with some of my college girlfriends. Steph and Matt were in town(they live in Colorado) so we got the gang together and enjoyed a night away from the kids. We enjoyed dinner and drinks(Marissa and I had water b/c we're both preggers) out at Red Robin and even got a tour of Faas and Jamie's house(they'll be married in October). It was so much fun catching up on eachother's lives and remembering the good ole times. I love you girls and can't wait to get together again!!

Happy Father's Day!!

Happy Father's Day to all the Daddy's!!! We had a great weekend spending time with Grandpa & Grandma Dykstra and Papa and Nana Crump. Friday night we took Grandpa & Grandma Dykstra out for dinner to Arnie's and then enjoyed the play area at Centerpointe Mall. Saturday morning we headed to Paw Paw to see Nana & Papa Crump for the weekend. We enjoyed spending time with them at the lake, the playground and then out to dinner at Red Robin. It was so precious hearing Kennidee tell Jason "Happy Father's Day, Daddy" in her cute little voice...it just melted my heart....and Daddy's too. Happy Father's Day, Daddy.....you are the best Daddy in the world and I love you so much....Love Kennidee(&Baby)

The Days of Summer!

Here are a couple of pictures of Kennidee from this past week. She is enjoying every part of summer. She usually is out the door and ready to go outside by 10am, doesn't come in until lunch time and is outside again after her nap. She loves to play in her pool, fill up her buckets in the hose and push her babies around on many walks in her stroller. She also loves walking to the ice cream store(so does mommy) and eating lots and lots of popsicles!!! We look forward to many more days of Summer!!

Adorable Pig Tails!!

I just wanted to post this adorable picture of Kennidee in her pig tails. She looks so much like a little girl and not my baby anymore. It took Jason distracting her with a fruit roll-up and mommy working on her hair for her to sit still long enough to put her pig tails in. She left them in all afternoon and evening and she looked so cute that I had to get some pictures....this was my favorite one....enjoy.

Crump Family Blog

Well, I've finally decided to join all my friends and family and start my own blog. I love looking at everyone's blogs, so I hope you enjoy our family blog as well. This will give you a little glimpse into our busy lives....and it's only going to get busier with another baby on the way(9 weeks and counting!!!) My goal is to update the blog every week....so here it is.....my first entry.

I just had a doctor's appointment this morning and it went really well. I am now going to the doctor every two weeks, so this baby will be here before you know it. The doctor said I'm measuring normal and the baby is around 3lbs right now(you would think the baby would be bigger since I've already gained 33lbs!!!) The baby is kicking like crazy...usaually around 9:00pm and then right before I crawl into bed. I'm sure he/she is moving around like crazy during the day, but I don't always feel it b/c I'm busy chasing my busy soon-to-be 2 year old!!

Kennidee will turn 23 months on the 7th of June!! We can't believe that she'll be two in a month. It seems like she's learning something new every day. She now sings several songs and her favorite is Happy Birthday. She wants us to play it over and over in the car while she sings along. She is quite the little character. Every morning she greets us with a big smile and says "Kennidee play with babies". Did we tell you that she absolutely loves playing with babies. Jason and I even have our own babies that she proudly named "mommy's baby" and "daddy's baby". I'm sure when the baby comes he/she will be well taken care of by big sister, Kennidee. She is quite curious when it comes to "real" babies and always wants to touch them and give them kisses. The other day we went to Centerpointe Mall and I had to run and grab her away from another baby(I think she was around 1 year old) b/c Kennidee grabbed her from behind to give her a big hug and then tried to kiss her on the head!! Well, I'm going to have to cut my first blog short....Kennidee is waking up from her nap. I'll be including some pictures soon so go along with my blog. Hope you enjoy our family blog.
