Announcing Kinley:)

She is here! Kinley Londyn Quintero arrived safe and sound! 6 lbs 12 oz and 19.5 inches long. She has a full head of dark beautiful hair and she is gorgeous! I am trying to recover- it is not as easy bouncing back after number 2 I have found! We will post more later.

Anniversary and Tag!

Monday marked James and I's 4th wedding anniversary! 4 Years and still going strong:) He surprised me by having orange roses (my favorite!) delivered to which I started crying... I think it is the pregnancy hormones! We finished off the evening by enjoying a gourmet subway sandwich- nothing else sounded good!



In baby news, it could be any day! I go and see my doctor this week and he will tell me to either wait it out or head to the hospital- I am hoping for the last option:) We are excited to get this little girl here!

Sleepy Head

Drezden spent the day with his buddy Parker yesterday while I had to go to a conference in Salt Lake. He was having so much fun that he couldn't take time to sleep- in a normal position! He fell asleep eating his snack at the dinner table in a chair- take a look!












Last week James laid down on the floor and Drezden laid next to him and was out in 1 minute. You would think this kid doesn't get enough sleep! 10pm-8am (10 hours) at night must not be enough:)














In baby news, it looks like next week will be the week! My mom gets here mid-week and then we will go from there... if I make it that long! Here is a picture of my HUGE belly! (That is for you Kels!) We will keep you posted when this little girl gets here!

Turtles and Tractors!

So Drezden's favorite word is "tutal" (turtle)! He loves talking about turtles and pointing them out in movies, and even wearing them on his pajamas! Here is a pic of the stud wearing his "geentutal" pajamas!

We went out to my Grandpa Mitchell's house for Memorial Day and Drezden found a new toy- a big red tractor! He kept playing with all of the gadgets and turning the steering wheel. It took James about 20 minutes to try and get him down! He also kept my grandpa on the move by lifting and lowering his electronic recliner about 50 times!

In baby news, my blood pressure was pretty high at my last appointment so we might be seeing this little girl sooner than expected! We are very excited and want her to come when she is ready:)

After graduating, James got a job in Lindon with a company that is close by! We are very excited and he starts working next week. We will hopefully be putting an offer on a house soon and can get all of our stuff out of storage and multiple peoples garages...:)

He is Official!

James graduated today with his Bachelors of Science degree in Business with an emphasis in International Business from Utah Valley University! The day finally arrived and was very enjoyable! I am so thankful for a hardworking husband- I couldn't ask for better! Here is the handsome stud in his cap and gown!

We ended up going to Cabella's this afternoon. Drezden and I had never been and so we thought it would be a fun adventure! Drezden loved the fish and all of the animals. Here is a funny picture of the 2 explorers of the "wild"!

The day was completed by some shopping, yard work, and a nice and relaxing foot soak for the new college graduate! (of course Drezden wanted to put his feet in too!)

I will be done teaching the end of May and then we will all have a nice and relaxing summer vacation complete with a new family member! I have 9 weeks to go and we are getting more and more excited:)

Project Time

James has been helping his brother Alex make some book shelves for his house and decided he needed a new toy... or a few I should say as the project has gone on:) He found an awesome deal at Home Depot for a "chop saw table" and so they set to the task of setting it up. Drezden was there of course as daddy's little helper and the next day enjoyed playing with the Styrofoam- enjoy the pictures!

Drezden is quite the photographer lately and if he finds a camera will take pictures of basically anything. It is really fun to watch him develop and grow.

As for baby news, we are in the third trimester! 12 weeks to go but I am definitely not counting down... as it is getting closer the thoughts of no sleep and postpartum recovery doesn't sound fun! All worth it though when you get to hold that little baby:) We hope you are all well and enjoying the beautiful spring weather.
