hard headed kid!

So on Saturday we had an unexpected trip to the ER!

We were all getting out of the car and Adyson decided to get out head first (arm got caught in her carseat because she wanted her ball) and landed right on the gravel road. She started bleeding so we all got back in and drove straight to the hospital!

Pictures dont really show but she had a little hole/crater in her head. Turned out she was A OK and all they did was clean the hole and send us home. She was acting a little crazy in the hospital but i think it was just all the attention she was getting. Well it was our first trip, but i dont think its going to be the last with this clumsy little girl of ours!

(keep a look out 4th of july post coming soon!)

Videos

So i know that two of these videos are on facebook, but this is my online (open) journal so I just wanted to add them on here. The third video is a bonus for all my blogger friends. Its not much, just of my beautiful girls!

Heres a video of Harper. Shes just starting to coo and make cute noises (and smile too!) She is such a cutie (Adyson too)!

Here is Adyson and Harper just chillin. You can certainly tell Adyson loves her little sister!

And heres Adyson riding her bike she got from gma &gpa king (thanks!) We've been trying to teach her to ride since she got it over a month ago with no luck. Then, just the other day, we are walking to the mail box and she gets on and takes off. Crazy girl!

i just love my girls : D

Catching up!

OK!! So blogger FINALLY let me upload some pics so time to play catch up! Lets start with the most recent!

My little family of 4!!!

Now here are some random pictures of harper that I was trying to post last week!

sisters! Harper looks like shes not too sure about this! lol

i just love her face in this one! lol

And now the last part. Last weekend, for Memorial Day(May 30th), we decided to take a drive up to a Mesa Falls about 45 min away. It was so pretty and nice up in the mountains. It was SO green and fresh! It was raining so we really didn't get to experience it too much, but it to so beautiful and we will definitely be going back, I kinda want to take a hike up there!

my girls

I love my girls. Its kinda weird saying "girls" but i'm quickly getting used to it. So far everything has been going great. the family came over the past weekend to meet little Harper and everyone agrees that she looks a lot like Adyson when she was a baby. Except the fact that she has dark hair and is darker skin (i think). Harper has had a touch of jaundice, but for the most part she does look darker then Adyson. I've been afraid to say this...so not jinx myself, but Harper is such a great sleeper at night!!! Only wakes up at 4 or 5 AM to eat and thats it until about 9-9:30. WAY awesome. Great now i'll be up every hour now that I've said something! Adyson is in love with Harper and is always wanting to hug or kiss her. She is a little rough with her, so we just have to keep telling her to be soft. For some weird reason she loves to pet her head and pat it. Its funny, when Harper starts crying. Adyson will come find us and say "Harper wants you!!" Adyson hasn't really gotten too jealous, and i'm trying to show her that i'm still here and love her, its just i have to take care of Harper. Shes understanding so far!

Well thats about it. Just getting in the swing of being a mom of 2! Things are going great and i hope they stay that way!

WE ARE HOME!

Well we are finally home and i can finally update some more! I actually ended up coming home on monday night and went back for feedings. Well Harper ended up being on the SiPAP saturday, sunday and monday morning and was taken off and just given oxygen. later on monday she decided to take off her oxygen supply herself and proved she could do it. The only thing left that was keeping her in the hospital was the IV she was on, and (luckily?) it went bad so they had to take it out this morning. They were going to have her stay until Wednesday or Thursday but after seeing how well she is doing they gave the go ahead and she came home at about 4 today! she is such a good little baby and adyson is already wanting to hold her ALL the time. we are so excited to be a whole family of FOUR! here are some pics of Harper in the hospital and at home. (more pics on my facebook)

all clean after a bath!

Harper is here!!! Happy Mothers day!

Harper Makenna King was born very quickly on saturday (may 7th). 6lbs 12oz, 18 1/2 inches long at 8:45 pm. So it was a regular day for us. I was having some pains, but brushed them off thinking it was false labor, because the pain wasnt getting stronger and they werent coming at regular times. We decided to just have a lazy day that day and not go to idaho falls like we were thinking earlier that day. So about 4, 4:30 spencer went to the driving range with my brother and thats when it all came WAY fast. the "pains" started coming way fast and very strong and painful. adyson had no idea what was going on, but oh i did! i started to bleed too so that was a huge sign for me that it was NOT false anymore! so i tried to call spencer, but there wasnt that great of cell phone reception out at the golf course, so i had to just keep calling until i reached him....and crazily started cleaning the house! i know! i was totally going crazy! lol. so after about a half hour or so i finally got a hold of spencer and said "I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL! GET HOME NOW!" So after that our good friend kailani came and got adyson and spencer got home and in about 2 seconds we were out the door to the hospital (LUCKILY i had packed my hospital bag the night before!!!). the drive was one of the scariest/funniest rides ever. so spencer will NOT speed for anything... he obeys the speed at ALL times (and i kinda dont, lol) well spencer went about 20 over and passed cars just to get to the hospital (and by this time i was having hard core pains!) Well anyway we made it to the hospital and turned out i was dialated to a 4. so i was admitted about 5ish and about 3ish hours later, and about 2 minutes of pushing, Harper was born at 8:45 pm.WAY easier birthing experience then last time!!! I got to hold her for about a minute and spencer took her down to the NICU. When she was coming out, she got some of the fluid in her lungs. She was grunting and having a hard time breathing, so they took her to get it all fixed. That night adyson got to meet her little sister but hasnt been aloud to see her since. Harper has been in the NICU with a SIPAP on. (see pictures.) We havent been able to hold her until today for a couple of minutes and they said tomorrow she will be able to get off the machine to try breathing on her own. Its been hard not to be able to hold her and only be able to pretty much watch her lying there with that crazy head gear on. We really dont know what she looks like. I mean we saw her when she came out, but a baby always looks different after they are out a little bit. Its hard to see the other moms here with their babies and to hear them every once in a while. I wish i could just have her with me! We wish we could hold her and see her but as long as shes getting better, it'll be ok. We still dont know when she will be coming home but i will be out tomorrow night. Sorry about the lack of pictures. We really didnt get any time to take any. She came so fast and was ready to come out to see us! She was due the 18th, but she is considered full term. Hopefully soon we can get pictures of the whole family and pics with mommy and daddy! Anyway shes doing great so far and has been getting better! hopefully we get to take her home soon!

PS HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I am so greatful for this day! I happened to get my mothers day gifts early. I got a new camera about a week ago (just in time) and a pretty necklace, flowers and best of all Harper! I love my girls and i am so thankful to be their mom! Thank you spencer for all the gifts but best of all thank you for our beautiful girls!

It can be hard at times to be a mother, but i would not change a thing! I am so greatful for my mom too! I know what you went through with me! SORRY! lol Thanks for everything mom!

Happy mothers day to all the women out there. Every woman, no matter if they have children or not, are mothers!

BEARWORLD!

So on saturday, after coming home from a not so eventful day in Idaho falls, we saw a sign at bearworld saying it was half price and this was the last weekend. when i looked it up online last year i thought it was $25 a person. well we decided to just go for it and go. well we actually paid $15 for all 3 of us! reg $16 a person! and we got 3 more tickets for half off later in the season!

For those of you who dont know...Bearworld is a park where you drive around and the animals are just roaming free. it was really cool. in the first part there were a bunch of deer, elk, a white elk, buffalo, turkeys, mountain goats, and then the second part had TONS of bears (black and grizzly bears). it was crazy! they were all sleeping when we went through but right when we got out they got up and walked around all over! (ok sorry about the quality of the pics, i apparently didnt notice my camera had been switched to a weird color theme so they are all greenish! sorry!)

the bear was sleeping right next to the road! crazy!

After driving through, they had a giftshop, free petting zoo and free carnival rides for the kids! Adyson got to pet a baby bear! She also pet some pigs and goats that were in the petting zoo.

But the best part (according to adyson) were the rides! So they had this "you must be this tall to ride" signs and we were headed over to see if she could. well it was right next to the roller coaster ride and they were just starting to load all the little kids on it. well before we knew it, adyson bolted up the stairs, gets in the seat and waits for the lap rail to come down so she could ride. believe me i was frickin scared! i was worried she wouldnt like it and try to get off while it was moving. NOPE she had a blast screaming and laughing! it was crazy. she then went on a couple others all by herself! i guess shes our little dare devil now!

We had so much fun at Bearworld! I recommend going if you havent. hopefully we'll be able to go again before the season is up, but with the baby coming who knows!
