Andrew's Wiggle Buns 9.09

I love it when Andrew wakes up. He wiggles and makes funny noises! I had to get it on video so I can always remember.

Zoo Day 9.24.09

After the field trip to the fire station we met up with our good friends, Trish and Mags and Mishelle and Daxton. We went to Hogle Zoo and enjoyed the train ride and a few animals. This is the first time we've seen MiSh since we had the babes were born. Andrew was born Aug. 16th, Daxton was born Aug. 19th. They are the CUTEST little buddies! Trish is preggy with another little girl, we can't wait for her to pop!

Field Trip: Syracuse Firestation 9.24.09

This is the Kids' First Fieldtrip of the school year. The Syracuse Firestation. The Firefighters were so kind to show the kids around. They taught them all about fire safety, stranger safety and 9-1-1. They showed them the fire trucks, the living room and kitchen, the bunks and a dorky movie to get them interested in "FIIIIIre Safety." The movie featured Little Richard if they helps visualize how awesome this thing was. :) P.S. There is a hidden pic in here with Porter and Kenedy holding hands. Since this day, Porter has announced that he would like to marry Kenedy and that he likes how she dresses. He says she is a princess and he is her prince. Today (Oct. 21st) Porter and Kenedy were fighting and she said "We're not getting married anymore." and Porter started crying and said "yes, I am your prince, and I wanna get married to you." I love it, it's so cute! Kenedy also had a dream and woke her mom up at 2am laughing she said "I'm gonna marry Porter." What cuties!

Andrew's Allergies and Eczema-5 weeks 9.15.09

This was what life was like at the Cranney House for the first five weeks of Andrew's life. I thought "maybe he is colic or maybe this is what babies are like and I just don't remember." I finally took him in for his "baby acne" which was turning yellow and bumpy all over his little body. Turns out he has eczema not baby acne. AND turns out he is allergic to dairy, that's why he was crying and spitting up all of the time. Once we got this all taken care of he has been a beautiful, pleasant little boy.

Here are videos, they are mostly so that I can remember what life was like, they are nothing special so I won't waste your time unless you are SUPER bored.

I was on the phone and heard a little concert going on in the background. When I got off of the phone, I grabbed the camera to get to moment on video. Mike had taken the boys downstairs to try to get Andrew to CHILL OUT. It worked so well, that the event occurred daily.

Andrew still manages to cry while daddy tries to calm him down with the guitar. Now we know it was just his poor little tummy.

Dad, McShelly and Bumpy 9.11.09

These three drove out for a short trip to see the new babe. It was a lot of fun! We didn't get many pictures except for the hiking ones. But we had a lot of fun. Mishal got out in the jungle of a garden a finished picking a lot of the produce. We had lots of yummy tomatoes. Dad had a bowl full for breakfast (what a weirdo). :) I had a Delicious Chocolate Cake from my friend Tiffany (when she brought me dinner the day before) Once that was gone, Bumpy and I went to our favorite store...Walmart! We got pickles, m&ms and chips for the salsa Laurel had made for us the week before. We ate A LOT of yummy grub. Bumpy and I also took a little trip to the library and got the movie "About A Boy". Our DVD player was broken so we got our portable DVD player (that we use for road trips) out and centered it in the living room on a stool. It was really hard to hear so Bumpy got the little speakers from the computer and set them on the floor next to the player. It was pretty ghetto. But we really enjoyed the movie.

Mishal took a trip to Sams Club and got us a bunch of diapers, baby wipes, desitin, a giant tub of hand sanitizer and a giant tub of formula! YAY! I love presents! THEN the morning before they all left Mishal took a trip to Walmart and got us a REAL, LIVE DVD player! I guess the ghetto style DVD set up was pathetic enough that a REAL dvd player was in order. :)! Thanks for thinking of us and for all of your help! It was so much fun getting see you all!

Dad, Mike and Porter Hike 9.10.09

Porter, Mike and my Dad went on a little hike up to a waterfall in Ogden during dad's September visit. It was a lot of fun and I am always glad when Porter gets to go out and make great memories, and learns to love being outside and getting his little limbs working.

Steve and Laurel Weekend Visit 9.3.09

Mike's parents came to visit. It's ALWAYS fun when they visit but it was especially helpful when Laurel picked our garden (Which hadn't really been picked all summer, cause i was preggy and everything was ready to be picked when I was nine months pregnant and then when I had the babe) ANYWAY...together her and Steve concocted the best salsa I've ever had. There is only one jar left after two months! :( Laurel also had a sleep over with Porter and we loved spending lots of time with them. Those two are a blast!

Porter's First Day of Preschool 9.1.09

This is Porter's 2nd year of Preschool. He'll have gone to preschool for 3 years before he hits Kindergarden. We just have been doing a Joy school with our friends and He LOVES it! This year he has 7 classmates. Logan, Kenedy, Talmage, Julia, Eliza, Audrey and Konnor.
