Blake is 1!
I can't believe my little guy is one already. This year has gone by so fast with so many changes in our lives and Blake is defintely a blessing to our family. He is so much fun and learning more and more everyday.

I made a monkey cake for our little monkey.

Blake with Grandma Mecham at his Birthday party!

Blake was so excited to get presents and have toys that are just his.

FIRE STATION

Our ward playgroup went to the fire station a couple of weeks ago for a tour. The kids had so much fun seeing the trucks. They were even able to go inside one of them. Kellen and his friend Carter discovered the bell in front of the truck and had fun ringing the bell.

Kellen and Eden taking a break.

Blake chillin in the stroller. This is how he spent the morning.

Most of the group.

Zoo Fun

My friend Jen and I took our kids to the zoo a while ago. When we were there Santa was there so the older boys went to say, they even got to be on the news.

Blake splashing around in the water.

Kellen and Carter getting squirted. I love Kellen's face in this picture.

After the splash pad we went and looked at a few of the animals before the melt downs began. Good thing it was free.

Football Season is HERE!!!!

Shawn's old co-workers gave him 2 tickets to a pre-season Cardinals game. They were great tickets and although the Cards lost Shawn and I had a blast. Thanks for the tickets you guys!

Here is what my future Sunday nights are going to look like. Oh how I love/hate football season. Right after dinner was done the boys went back to watching football. Kellen still has his football jersey on but Blake got a little dirty eating dinner.

The Injury

So I was making dinner on Labor Day and the boys were in the room playing. All of the sudden Shawn and I hear a blood curdling cry form Blake. Shawn runs in there and finds Blake with this injury. We think Kellen hit him with a book. I was so worried and mad I didn't know what to do. After we got Blake settled down we decided to watch the swelling and make sure it didn't spread to his eye.
These are our bruised boys. If you notice Kellen has a healing black eye from jumping off his bed and landing on the arm of his chair. What can I say, my life is never boring with these two.

Here is want Blake looked like the next morning.

Like Father, like Sons?

Kellen and Blake love playing with their doctor kit. They other day they played "Doctor" back and forth for about an hour before nap time. Then as soon as they got up they started again. I just had to take a picture.

2009-09-13T20:16:00.000-07:00

First Day of Medical School

Shawn just before he left for his first day of medical school. He was both nervous and excited.
Kellen wanted in on the picture too.

Gone Fishing

This summer we went to the Mecham Ruinion. While there Shawn took Kellen fishing for the first time. Kellen was so excited to go fishing with his Lightning McQueen fishing pole. I think Shawn took him everyday. To bad they didn't catch anything

2009-09-13T19:46:00.000-07:00

Let's Go D-Backs!!

This summer has been alot of first for us. We took Kellen to his first baseball game. Even though the D-backs lost we had fun and were suprised that Kellen lasted till the 8th inning.

We Moved

Shawn and I have moved our family to Glendale Arizona! I never thought that I would be living on the westside but here I am living in Glendale. For those of you who don't know Shawn has just strated Medical School at Midwestern University. I am so proud of him. I was a little nervous about the move, I mean it is a BIG change for us, Shawn back in school and gone ALL the time, moving back into an apartment with our 2 boys and not knowing a sole over here to lean on. I was stressed out. Even the first week was hard and I felt like I was never going to be done unpacking. Well Shawn is gone alot (last week he studied over 20 hours not including school), we are in an apartment but it is a good sized place that holds most of our stuff (our storage room is full), and I have made a friend or two. Kellen has become best buddies with a little boy that lives in the complex and they are sooooo cute together. He asks me everyday to play with Carter. It is nice to live on campus and know that everyone else is in the same boat as we are and I know that the girls that I have met will be a great support system for me when I need someone. I have enjoyed the ward so far and I am looking forward to Enrichment tomorrow night so that I can meet and get to know more of the women in our new ward. All in all I think that I am going to love it here and can already tell that I will think back fondly to these times in our lives ten years from now.

Family Pictures!

We finally had family pictures taken with Blake in our family! My cousin's wife Natalie took them for us outside my grandma's house in Utah. Thanks Natalie, you did a fantastic job. I am so excited to hang them up in our house.

KELLEN IS 3!!!!

I can't believe it but Kellen turned 3 on June 19th. A couple of days before his birthday I asked Kellen what he wanted for his birthday cake. Since he is obsessed with the letter K I was not surprised when he said he wanted a K cake. The only problem was where to find a K cake, so I decided to make it myself. Of course Kellen wanted to help make the cake. Can you tell how much help he was?

Shawn's niece Jolie was in town staying with us so she got to join in on the fun.

The finished product. I think it turned out pretty good considering I had never tried anything like this before and part of the cake broke off and I tried to "glue" it back on with frosting.

We had a low key party with the family. Thanks everyone who came Kellen had a blast. Kellen enjoying his gifts.

Blake watching the gifts being open.

3 Pounds in a MONTH!!!
I took Blake in for his 6 month check-up on Friday and was suprised when the doctor told me that Blake had gained almost 3 pounds ( 2 onuces shy) since his last appointment. I said 3 pounds in 2 months is pretty good. He said no; not since his last check-up but his last appointment at 5 months when he had his ear infections. I mean I knew he had been getting bigger but not 3 pounds in a month bigger, that is a lot. Let me explain that just before his last appointment I stopped nursing and started fromula. Also, at that appoinment the doctor told me that I should start him on baby food. Let me tell you Blake loves baby food. Which was a releif since he did not like rice cereal or oatmeal. So after 5 1/2 months of having a skinny baby I am getting another chunck. We love hhim so much and I am so glad that he is so happy all of the time, even if he pukes everywhere. Now we just need to work on the sleeping through the night.

Blakes Stats
weight 17lbs. 14 oz.

Eczema

Kellen has had bad eczema pretty much since the day he was born, he was doomed to have it since both mine and Shawn's families have it. We had had it under control since he was 6 months or so with little out breaks here and there. That is until about a month ago. He had a bad outbreak all over his body, mostly on his legs, and his medicine has not been working. The other day it was itching hism so much and he started to break skin so I decided that we needed to go back to the doctor. The doctor then told me that we need to throw out all his skin vare products and kick it up a notch. No more soap now it is boy cleanser that costs $10.00 a bottle! No more lotion, now it is body cream, body oil, 1 perscription for itching and an antibiotics. I now have a two time a day regimine that Kellen hates and fights me the whole time. Hopefully this works.

2009-04-02T14:53:00.000-07:00

Last weekend my parents, Shawn and I took Kellen to one of those carnivals in the parking lot at Superstition Springs Mall. Kellen had a lot of fun, I think it reminded him of Disneyland. Here we are on the Elephant ride.

Shawn and Kellen on the helicopter ride.

The swing ride was Kellen's favorite ride. We rode it more than once and when it was time to leave he kept asking us if he could swing.

2009-04-02T14:49:00.000-07:00

Bowling

A few weekends ago we went bowling with some friends and all our kids. Kellen had a blast! He started off using the ramp but by the end we were trying to get him to bowl granny style.

Here is Shawn helping Kellen bowl like a big boy.

2009-02-05T10:33:00.000-08:00

Here are my cute little boys in the football gear. For those of you who don't know, Shawn is a huge football fan. Ever since Kellen's first football season he has had a football outfit (all but the first has been Cardinals) that he wore every Sunday during football season. Of course this year Blake need one too and this time we found a Cadinals outfit. Let me just tell you my boys don't just wear their football outfits, they actually watch the games. It is so cute seeing the two of them watching football with Shawn. Kellen gets so excited whenever Shawn gets excited. This year we had so much fun cheering on the Arizona Cardinals and we were so excited for them to go to the Super Bowl.

Update on Blake-
I took him to the doctor for his 4 month check-up and everything is great.
weight 13 lbs. 9oz.
height 25 inches

Potty Training

I have been potty training Kellen for about a month now. He is usually pretty good going pee in the potty but going #2 is still the challenge. I have tried rewarding him and he still does not like to go in the potty. Any advice?

No matter how tough it is to keep reminding Kellen to go to the potty I can't get over how cute he is in his little undies and man does he love his big boy undies.

2009-01-12T15:11:00.000-08:00

Medical School Update

So a lot of people have been asking me what Shawn's medical school status is. Well after applying to tons of schools, interviewing at several and accepting at two we are still waiting on hearing from one. No matter what happens we are staying in Arizona the question is where in Arizona will we end up. As o now we are moving to Glendale, AZ where Shawn would start at Midwestern University. We are still waiting to hear from University of Arizona which we will find out about by March. I will keep you updated if and when we find out about U of A.

Thanksgiving 2008

This thanksgiving my whole family was together at my parents. It was so much fun having my sister from California in town with her family. I miss them so much and wish that we all could live close together. Seeing my kids play with their cousins all weekend was great, it reminded me of our summers in Utah playing with our cousins. As you can tell Kellen was not cooperating when it came time to take a cousin picture. That's him on the right side getting out of the picture.
While everyone was here we were able to bless Blake. Shawn did a great job as usual. We really missed Shawn's siblings, only his parents and Nicole and Brian were able to be there, but we know they were there in spirit.

The Victim...

The Criminal...

The Weapon...

Well we made it 7 weeks and 6 days before Blake was on the wrong end of his brothers wrath. Yesterday I was at my parent's house and had just finished feeding Blake when I put him on the ground to clean up spit up. I hear Kellen say something so I turn around to see what he wants and I see Kellen with drums in his hands held above Blake's head. As I am yelling NO Kellen drops the drums on Blake's head. I freak out. Blake turns red and is holding his breath. I rush the 3 feet in between us and pick him up all the while getting mad at Kellen. Kellen freaks out. Blake finally catches his breath and is now hysterically crying. I put Kellen in time out while I calm Blake down and then try to calm Kellen down. I think it took me the same if not longer to calm Kellen down. The whole thing seemed to be in slow motion, it felt like it lasted an hour but probably only lasted 5 minutes. Now I know what I am in for for the rest of my life, boys will be boys.

So it has taken several months but Kellen can now ride his bike without help. For a long time he couldn't reach the pedals so he would Fred Flintstone it. Now he can start and stop, turn and all that stuff by himself.
Only in Arizona can you lay out in November. Shawn's Dad said it was so nice out that he was going to lay out. As soon as Kellen saw him out there he wanted to lay out too.

2008-11-02T15:03:00.000-08:00

For the Ward Trunk or Treat Kellen went as James Bond and man did he love his gun.

I had to dress Blake up but I could not find a newborn costume, they are all 0-9 months and let me tell you that is a big range, so he just got a new onsie with a ghost.

Kellen went as a Chip 'n Dale Dancer (Shawn's choice). I was very reluctant at first but I have to admit it turned out pretty cute and was a big hit.

2008-11-02T14:55:00.000-08:00

Getting Ready for Halloween

Shawn and Kellen carved pumpkins on Thursday night. Kellen seemed to get into carving pumpkins, but not as much as Shawn did. Halloween is definitely mu husbands favorite holiday.

Kellen smiling at the camera. This is the only way that he will smile for the camera.

The finished products. Notice mine is not done. After 2 1/2 hours I was done carving pumpkins.

My mom made carmel apples with the boys. What is Halloween without carmel apples?

Our little Blake

Shawn's sister took pictures of Blake when he was a week old. They turned out so great. Thanks Nicole.

2008-10-09T12:27:00.000-07:00

I totally jinxed myself!

When I was in the hospital getting ready to have Blake the nurse in pre-op was asking me about my medical history. I proceeded to tell her that I was healthy and that other than my other c-section I had only been in the hospital one other time to get my gallbladder removed. As some of you know I got gallstones a few months after Kellen was born and had to get my gallbladder removed. So after I told her this I said "I wonder what ailment I will get after this baby". Stupid stupid me. When I was in the hospital my back started hurting a little and I didn't think anything of it. I mean those beds aren't that comfortable and I was in it for 3+ days and starting to nurse I thought my back was sore from that. Well I get home and my back still hurts but again I think that it is from nursing. Well a few nights ago my back hurt so much that I couldn't do anything, I mean this hurts more than recovering from my c-section. It even hurt just laying in bed. I knew that I was getting a UTI and had been drinking Cranberry juice to help with that until I went to the doctor on Wed. for my 2 week check-up. So I decided to start taking my oxycodone until I went to the doctor and ask him about my back too. So yesterday I go to the doctor and yes I have a UTI and when I asked him about my back he tells me that I have a kidney infection. So he gives me a high dosage of some medication to get rid of the kidney infection and tells me that I will probably get a really bad yeast infection and since I am nursing Blake will most likely get thrush. Yippee. I just started the medication last night and no relief yet (it is supposed to take a few days) and I am doing everything I can to prevent a yeast infection because I do not want Blake to get thrush. So the moral of this story is that the next time I have a kid I am not going to say anything about what is going to happen next.

Blake Wayne Mecham
Blake joined our family today at 1pm on the dot. He weighs 7 lbs. 3 oz. and is 21 inches long. He looks just like Kellen except his eyelashes are not as long.
I am doing great and I have been up and walking.
Blake on the other hand Blake is in the Special Care Nursery (also known as the NICU), he has some fluid in his lungs and is breathing fast. They are running tests and so far they don't think that there is an infection so now we need to wait and see if and when the fluid either be absorbed by his lungs or he coughs it up. They are keeping him in the nursery untill his breathing is under control. Hopefully that will all be soon and he can come into my room.

2008-09-26T09:16:00.000-07:00

Cooking with Kellen
I was so busy yesterday trying to get everything ready for the baby that I felt that Kellen and I needed to do something fun together. Kellen loves to help me cook and so we decided to make chocolate chip cookies.
What good chef doesn't taste the dough to make sure it is just right.

Enjoying the fruits of our labor. I think Kellen ended up eating 3 cookies, so much for dinner.

For anyone who doesn't know I am going to have my c-section today at 12:30. I am hoping we can post some pictures today or tomorrow. If not check my sister Nicole's blog (Jason and Nicole), she will probably post some. Wish me luck.

2008-09-13T14:42:00.000-07:00

Maternity Pictures
Shawn's sister Nicole took some maternity pictures of me a couple of weeks ago so that I can remember how huge I am. Thank you Nicole. The pictures turned out great and I am glad that I did it since I don't have more than a handful of pictures of me this pregnancy.

Kellen kisses my belly every time we mention the baby. Usually he lifts my shirt first, but I will spare all of you that visual.

I love how this picture turned out.

Me and my boy, soon to be my boys.

Of course what is a photo shoot without a few pictures of the always photogenic Kellen.

Check out Kellen's vampire shot. Shawn and I knew that his fangs were long but this is out of control.

TWILIGHT The Movie

For all you twilight fans out there I have some good news. I was surfing the Internet and found out that since the new Harry Potter Movie is now being released next summer Summit Films is releasing Twilight the Movie three weeks earlier. That's right it is now being released November 21st!!!!

2008-08-09T14:35:00.000-07:00

Arizona Museum of Natural History
The other day my mom and I decided to take the boys to the dinosaurs museum. I haven't been there for a long time but I was amazed at how much more than dinosaurs there are. Here are the boys in jail.

I had to get at least one picture with a dinosaur.
Parker and Merrick (2 of Colette's nephews) panning for gold.
Kellen panning for gold. All he really did was get sandy water all over the place.
Kellen showing of his bag of gold. He loved that he got to take it home with him.

2008-08-09T14:22:00.000-07:00

This summer we have been trying to stay inside more and Shawn and I were feeling bad so we decided to get Kellen some fish. He loved going and picking out the fish and bringing them home. We put the tank in his room and he just sits there and stares at them. Unfortunately three of the fish have since died and Shawn and I are needing to replace them. Also, if you are wondering yes Kellen has a black eye, he is becoming so mischievous I can't seem to stop him from climbing up things or jumping onto things even when he gets hurt.

My mom made cookies with the kids and Kellen was able to lick his first beater. I guess my mom is nicer than me because I haven't ever let him before but I think I will have to every time from now on.
He wouldn't give me the beater until all of the dough was licked off. By the time he was done the cookies were almost out of the oven.
We went to Waldos BBQ for lunch last Saturday and Shawn had to put Kellen on the pig. Kellen had so much fun that he did not want to get off when the ride was over.
We also were at the mall and I took Kellen on the carousel. He loves going on this and would ride it all day long.

2008-08-09T00:23:00.001-07:00

Baby Update

I know that I have not been that great about blogging lately and I am truly sorry. I have found that the second pregnancy seems to tire me out more than the first. I don't know if it is the heat or because I get to chase Kellen around all day but I am pooped by nap time everyday and I don't seem to recover until the next morning.
I went to the doctor this week (I am now going every 2 weeks) and we set the date for my c-section. So we will the proud parents of 2 little boys on September 26th. Shawn and I were not sure if we were going to go ahead and set up the c-section or try a v-back but after talking to the doctor about the options, me measuring big and him not sure if I would be able to do the v-back we decided to got the safe route and plan the c-section. I am finding that this planning thing is pretty great since I know the day and time that I will be having the baby I feel like I can plan everything better then if we were just waiting for him to decide to join us. Now all we need is a name, any suggestions?

2008-06-25T13:42:00.000-07:00

Here are some more wonderful pictures Nicole took of Kellen and Gus playing in the hose and a tub of water.

2008-06-25T13:37:00.000-07:00

Okay, so these pictures are from Easter, but I just got them the other day from Shawn's sister. The boys were so cute after the easter egg hunt they all wanted to ride in the wagon. So instead, Kellen, Zane and Gus rode in the wagon and Justin and Chance pushed/pulled. They had so much fun together. Kellen loves playing with his cousin (especially the big boys).

2008-06-25T13:29:00.000-07:00

Shawn's sister Nicole was watching Kellen a little bit ago and when I came to pick him up she told me that they had a little photoshoot. I was pretty excited since Nicole is an amazing photographer and I was already thinking of getting Kellen's pictures taken for his 2nd birthday. These are just a few of the pictures, it was hard for me to choose only a few since they all turned out so good. Thanks again Nicole.

2008-06-21T21:44:00.001-07:00

Making up for lost time... So i know that I have been a very bad blogger lately and I am sorry. I promise that I am going to try and be better. So to start I am going to blog the last month in the next little bit, starting with Shawn's Graduation. Shawn graduated from ASU in the beginning of May with a degree in Human Nutrition. As some of you may know Shawn is pre-medicine and although he did get into a medical school in West Virginia for the fall we decided to take the year off and try again for next year. We have started the application process again and I will let you know whats going on with that when we find out. Since Shawn took off the year from school he had to get himself back into the work force, something Shawn and I are both trying to adjust to. (I am not used to Shawn not being around during the day to help out) Shawn has a wonderful job as an orthopedic surgeon's intern, it is a year long internship for people like Shawn who are waiting a year to go to graduate school. He has been there for a month and really enjoys what he is doing. This week he took his first set of sutures out! I am so proud of Shawn and everything that he does for us, he is the best husband and father I could ask for and one day he will be the best doctor. Love you babe!
Here is a great shot of Shawn and his parents at graduation.

As you can see Shawn is a ham in front of the camera.

Shawn's sister Nicole took all of these photos and helped us capture the day beautifully. Thanks Nicole for all the wonderful pictures. This is one of my favorite pictures

2008-05-25T23:29:00.000-07:00

I know that I have been a very bad blogger lately and I am sorry. I will try and be better.
Anyways, Wednesday we found out that we are going to be having another BOY!!! A part of us wanted to have a girl because of the lack of girls in both families but I am so excited that Kellen is going to have a little brother close to him. I hope that they can be good buddies. I will post the ultrasound pictures once I scan them onto the computer.

2008-05-06T14:19:00.000-07:00

So it finally happened, I was hoping that I would never have to experience this but Kellen made sure that I was able to. Kellen discovered that he could take the poop out of his diaper and smear it all over.
Here is the story... I left Kellen at home with Shawn on Friday morning while I went to my doctors appointment. Shawn was working on his final project for a class and so I turned on a backyardigans DVD in our guest room to keep him occupied. When I got home a hour later I went to go check on him. As I was walking up the stairs I could smell the poop (which is no surprise since Kellen's poop stinks). I walk in the room and to my horror Kellen is standing on the bed with poop all over him, the bed rails, blankets and sheets. With a nice big clump laying on the bed. Well due to the pregnancy I am very sensitive to smells and immediately throw up in my mouth. I yell for Shawn to come up stairs and help me, which he does. So while Shawn cleaned Kellen up and gave him a bath I put the sheets in the washing machine, cleaned and disinfected the bed and bed rails. Shawn totally made fun of me when I was cleaning because I but gloves and any other protection I could find on and scrubbed the room from top to bottom.

Broc Alan Austin
My sister Nicole had her baby Thursday April 24th 2008. Her I am at the hospital the day he was born. Broc was 2 weeks early and weighed 7lbs. and was 21 1/4 inches long. He is adorable and as you can tell he has a full head of hair.

Kellen with Broc. Kellen loves his new cousin and I am proud to say that he has yet to attack him like I thought he would.

2008-04-23T21:38:00.000-07:00

Kellen's new favorite thing to do...walking on Shawn's back. Shawn was laying on the ground and told Kellen to walk on his back, so I helped Kellen up and he wobbly walked on Shawn's back. after that he got the hang of it and proceeded to do this for about a half hour or so.

2008-04-23T21:23:00.000-07:00

Shawn was washing the car the other day and Kellen saw water and bubbles and had to be a part of it, so we got him in his swim suit and let him have some fun. The only bad thing is that he wanted to help which was actually not helping. To help distract him we turned on the sprinklers thinking this my work. The only problem was that he has never been in the sprinklers before and he was not sure about it.

Shawn finally walked him into the sprinklers and Kellen runs right out of the sprinkers holding his breath. I don't know if he thought that he was in the pool or what but whenever we got him in the sprinklers he would hold his breath.

2008-04-23T21:09:00.001-07:00

My sister Nicole is pregnant with her first child and so we had a baby shower for her. The shower was a pirate theme and so we wanted to have a pirate coconut. The only problem with this is that my sisters, mom and I are not the most artsy, luckily for us my husband Shawn is. We thought that he would just paint a simple face on it but I should have known that Shawn would not just do a simple paint job.

2008-04-23T20:56:00.001-07:00

Kellen's first swim of the year!!
We were over at my parents house a few weeks ago and my brother-in-law Jason decided to go swimming after he finished some work that he was doing over there. While he was swimming we decided to put our feet in the spa, this was not enough for Kellen so Jason took him swimming. Kellen had so much fun even though the pool was like 71 degrees.

Kellen would jump in and out of the spa when he would get to cold.

2008-04-23T20:47:00.000-07:00

So some of you know that Shawn and I try to tell our families that we are having a baby in a fun way. With this baby we decided to let Kellen "tell" everyone. Shawn had this shirt made up and we had Kellen wear it to Sunday dinner at the Costley's and then over to the Mecham's. I think the back of the shirt is my favorite.

2008-03-28T18:49:00.000-07:00

Guess what everyone...we are having another baby. I am 12 weeks along and just started getting sick about 2 weeks ago. This is how it was with Kellen to and it didn't las to long so hopefully this will soon pass.I My due date is October 6th but if I have to have another c-section then I will have the baby at the end of September. I have been meaning to post about it for the last week but have not been feeling well so I will post pictures and more info when I am feeling better.

So I am so retarded

I was trying to up date my blog and in the midst of it I completely lost all of my links. I still haven't given up on finding them again but until then I need everyone to leave their link for me. Thanks a bunch.

2008-02-09T13:54:00.000-08:00

The other night my family and some family friends went to the temple visitor center to see the Reflections of Christ exhibit. The exhibit is photographs of the life of Christ taken by Mark Mabry. There is also a documentary that you can watch of the making of the pictures. The guy that plays Jesus does an amazing job and makes you feel like the pictures are really pictures of Christ. For any of you who have the opportunity to go and see this go, it is amazing. While we were waiting to go in Kellen discovered the statue of Christ and kept running up to it and looked up and said a few words and ran away. He did this several times and I finally got a picture of him standing there looking up at Christ. The first time I saw him do this my heart melted.

After a while Shawn went up to the statue when Kellen was there and he just started pointing up and telling Shawn something. It was such an amazing site.

Kellen's trip to the Allergist

Here is a picture of Kellen getting his blood pressure and breathing tested.

So we went and saw the allergist laste Friday to get Kellen tested for allergies. After talking to Dr. Wong (whom I loved and highly reccommend) he decided that Kellen is most likely only allergic to nuts. He did a scracth test on Kellen's back of all the nuts and found out that Kellen is only allergic to cashews for now. He said that he could still develop more nut allergies, which would be most likely tree nuts. We need to keep him away from tree nuts till he is 3 but we can give him peanuts and peanut butter. We do need to carry an epinephrine pen with us at all times just in case. All in all the trip to the allergist was a great experience and a big relief to final get some answers.

2008-02-09T13:21:00.000-08:00

Our Weekend in D C

Shawn had an interview for a Medical School in West Virginia so I decided to tag along. While we were on that side of the world we spent the weekend in DC. Since I had never been there I was so excited. We did all of the tourist things and saw all of the sites. Here are just a few of our pictures.

Shawn was so bummed that the reflection pool was drained for cleaning at the Washington Mounument. It was still pretty cool seeing it though.

2008-01-17T21:01:00.000-08:00

It has been a crazy week for us. Friday night we were at Shawn's parents house and Kellen tripped and cut his lip open. It bled for a while and we thought that we might need to take him in to get stiches. It finally stopped and so we just let him play with his cousins that were in town. The next day it came open again but only for a few minutes. Then on Sunday we were at Shawn's parents house and Shawn and his dad gave Kellen a cashew. Let me preface this, we thought that Kellen might be allergic to cashews already. So he ate the cashew around 8pm on Sunday night. When we left the Mecham's Kellen was fine and we put him to bed around 9pm. Monday I go into get Kellen up to get ready before I have to go to work and Kellen is swollen from head to toe. I gave him benadryl. After a while the swelling went down a little and since I had to go to work and it was Shawn's first day of school I took Kellen to my mom's house. While at work I talk to the doctor's office and they start talking about epinephrine pins and I start freaking out. So I get to my mom's house around noon and the swelling has gone down a ton. That is when this picture was taken. You can tell that Kellen's ears are totally swollen. By the end of the day the Pediatrician decided that before he proscribed epinephrine he wants Kellen to go to see an allergist. So after three days of benadryl Kellen's swelling and rashes are gone and he seems to be back to normal.

2008-01-17T20:22:00.000-08:00

Our trip to Hawaii

So we have been home for about 2 weeks now and I am finally putting pictures up, sorry everyone. Here we are at the temple. This temple is so pretty.
Here is Shawn and his dad, Del, at the Polyensian Cultural Center. They just got their cool new tattooes from Fiji.
What is a trip to Hawaii without a drink in a pineapple? Here we are at the Luau at the Cultural Center.
So one day we went on a hike to the Manoa Falls. Of course the day we go is the day that it rains the most. Shawn's parents brought an umbrella for the hike.

Here we are at the top of falls.

Here is a cool blow hole that we went to. The water came up so high.
We went hiking at Diamond Head but by the time we got there we had just over an hour to climb up and back. Vicki and I went about 3/4ths of the way up and Shawn and Del went to the whole way. Needless to say they did not let us forget that we didn't make it all the way up the entire week. Way to go boys!!
The top of Diamond head, or so I hear.

Shawn and I at Pearl Harbor. This was my favorite place of the trip. In the back you can see The USS Arizona Memorial and the Battleship Missouri. All in all the trip was a blast and I can't wait to go back one day.

2008-01-13T21:51:00.000-08:00

Fun in the Snow

Before Christmas (yes this is really late) we went up to the snow for the day so that Nicole and Jason could cut down a Christmas tree. Since it had snowed that week we decided to take the kids up so they could play. Here is Kellen trying to walk in the snow. He never did get the hang of it so I ended up carrying him most of the time.
Here are my nephews, Merrick and Parker, playing in the snow. They had so much fun up there.

Me and Kellen

2008-01-13T21:41:00.000-08:00

Playing in the rain

It was raining one day when we were at Shawn's parents house. Kellen wanted to play outside so bad so I decided to let him play in the rain. He had so much fun splashing around I almost didn't want to have him come inside but he was soaked.

2008-01-13T21:26:00.000-08:00

Shawn's latest Project

Shawn built a home entertainment center for our

friends. He not only set-up the entertainment system but he also built the built-in. As if I didn't know that my husband was talented but watching him build this from scratch was more than I expected. He made all the moldings and doors. In these pictures there is one shelf missing on the right side in the cubby hole. There is also a door that covers the sub woofer that slides into the cubby hole. In this picture the door is inside the cubby.

2007-12-27T22:41:00.000-08:00

We are off to...

Hawaii

Shawn and I are leaving Saturday to go to Hawaii for a week with his parents. This is mine and Shawn's first trip to Hawaii so we both are really excited. I am a little bit nervous though because we are not taking Kellen. This will be the first time that we have left Kellen for more than a night. Kellen is spending the week with my parents so I am sure that he wil have a blast with them. We will be sure to post a lot of pictures when we get back.

2007-12-26T21:33:00.000-08:00

The Four Boys

For those of you who don't know there were four boys born on Shawn's side of the family last year. Everytime we get all for boys together Shawn's sister Nicole takes pictures of the four of them.
Here are the FAB 4

Bronson (Ben & Amberly's), Trey (Del & Tina's), Gus (Brian & Nicole's) and Kellen (our adorable one)

Nicole also took some individual pictures of Kellen and the other boys. Here is one of my favorites of Kellen

2007-12-15T16:33:00.000-08:00

So we tried to take some Christmas pictures for this year and it was a nightmare. We tried to take the pictures two Saturdays in a row, both times were rained out. So we decided to take them on Sunday morning and if they didn't turn out then atleast we tried. By these two pictures you can tell how they turned out. I will post the winning picture soon.

2007-11-24T16:18:00.001-08:00

And my flavor is...

Prescott
So while we were in Prescott we went to see the progress of Shawn's parents cabin. They are building a cabin in Walker, it is right out side Prescott.Here is the view of inside the front door.

Shawn's brother Ben lives in Prescott and so we decided to take a day trip up there and visit him and his family. Kellen had so much fun playing in the pile of leaves in the backyard.

Here is the front view of Shawns parent's cabin. It is going to be so much fun when it is done.

Here is Kellens new trick, her can climb up the slide. He is getting pretty good at it to.
Kellen has also discovered ice cream sandwiches. Here he is eating one at Colette's parents house with her sister Stephanie.

2007-11-03T16:44:00.000-07:00

Halloween 2007

So this year we had a lot of fun with Kellen. He loved tick or treating. Our friends Clint and Emily came over with their kids and Emily and I took Kellen and Tacey around in the wagon trick or treating. Kellen was a 20s gangster, he did have a tommy gun but wanted his sippie instead so I didn't fight him on it. Tacey was a future American Idol contestant.

The weekend before Halloween Shawn and I went to a Halloween party with some friends. Shawn dressed as a demon and I was an angel. Shawn really got into his costume and it paid off, he won the best costume contest.

Dallas

What is a trip to Texas without a good old fashioned Rodeo? The rodeo was a lot of fun and man was I glad that it was airconditioned.

Here is Vicki (Shawn's mom), Shawn and me at the rodeo.

Here is Vicki, Shawn (looking hard @**), Tina (Shawn's sister in-law), and Del (Shawn's brother).

Well we knew that Kellen loved swings but now he has discovered a big boy swing and did not want to get off. I know you can't see but I am just to Kellen's right waiting to catch him, I was sure he was going to fall off. He didn't.

Kellen and Trey (Shawn's nephew) playing together. These two
are not even two months apart and they sure did have fun.

Kellen has discovered Airplanes!!!

So we went to Dallas for the weekend to visit Shawn's brother and his family. When we flew out on Thursday night we were at the airport for quite some time since our plane was delayed. While waiting Kellen discovered a new love, airplanes. I don't know if it was the actual airplanes or the giant windows but he loved looking at the planes.

Kellen eating his chicken nuggets. Man he sure does love chicken nuggets.

On the way back Kellen had fun with the neck pillow.

Nicole and Jason are Married!!!

So my sister Nicole got married July 26th. It was so much fun being there and seeing her so happy. We all got dressed up, including Kellen. He looked so adorable in his bright pink tie.

Here are all the Costley girls with Jason.

After pictures were done Kellen made a run for it.

2007-08-05T21:29:00.000-07:00

Our Anniversary

I can not believe it but Shawn and I are going to be celebrating our 4th anniverary on Tuesday August 7th. Shawn and I both can't believe that it has only been 4 years. I can't imagine not being married. I am so lucky that I get to spend everyday with my best friend.

2007-07-22T22:39:00.000-07:00

At the reunion we had 4 generations of Mecham men so I had to get a picture of the 4 of them.

Here is our cute little family.

Kellen had so much fun running around with all the other kids.

One night there was a folk band come and sing for the family. Kellen seemed to like it so much he kept wanting to get down and dance.

2007-07-22T22:30:00.000-07:00

The Mecham Family Reunion

Shawn's family has a whole family reunion every 2 years. This was the first year that I went and we had a blast. Here are Shawn and I on the rock wall. The one thing that I realized is that I am so out of shape.

We also went canoeing. I know that in this picture it looks like I did not paddle, but I did.

2007-07-22T22:26:00.000-07:00

This summer has been a lot of fun with Kellen. He is walking and is so much fun to play with. Here is Kellen just playing around.

2007-07-22T22:17:00.000-07:00

So when I was little we would get out the slip and slide all the time at my grandparents house. When we were there for the fourth my parents got a new slip and slide and we all had a lot of fun. As you can tell by the pictures everyone got involved, including my dad in his clothes.

2007-07-22T22:06:00.000-07:00

We were in Utah for 2 weeks visiting Colette's Grandma and at Shawn's family reunion. We had a great time but 2 weeks is a long time for a baby to be gone.

While we were gone Kellen discovered ice cream cones

Shawn is getting Kellen ready for football season. He is getting pretty good at throwing a ball and wants to do it all the time.

2007-07-22T21:55:00.000-07:00

Kellen's 1st birthday was so much fun. We had a big party for him that night at Colette's parents house. We were so glad that both families were able to get together to celebrate with us. As you can tell from the picture Kellen did not have trouble eating his cake, in fact he did not want to stop eating.

Here is Kellen's Star Wars cake. Shawn picked it out.

By the end of the night Kellen was wiped out. He fell asleep before we even got out of my parents neighborhood.

2007-06-17T21:16:00.000-07:00

KELLEN IS TURNING 1!!!
Ok so Kellen's birthday is on Tuesday. I can not believe that he is already 1, this year has flown by so fast. I took him to get his pictures taken.

2007-06-07T23:34:00.000-07:00

Our little Hunchback

Shawn put Kellen's football under his shirt and Kellen thought it was great fun. He played like this for about a half hour. Shawn and I could not stop laughing which made Kellen laugh and we all had a good old time.

2007-06-07T23:22:00.000-07:00

RAWHIDE

Shawn and I met some friends at Rawhide the other night. We had a lot of fun except when we went to the gun show and the kids got scared from the shots. I know what you are thinking, why did we even go to the gun show. Well while we were walking around there was a gun fight in the street right in front of us and the kids seemed fine so we thought they would do good at the show. We were wrong. Here is Kellen the bandit.

Kellen thought this was so funny. I don't know if he thought the cut out was funny or if it was the reaction of everyone else.

Our friends daughter Tacey.

2007-06-07T23:07:00.000-07:00

Kellen has discovered spray bottles... doing his hair will never be the same.

Kellen looking adorable in Marc's hat.

Just kickin' back reading a book.

Kellen has discovered the joy of opening presents, or maybe just the joy of wrapping paper at his cousins birthday party. His birthday should be fun.

2007-06-07T22:58:00.000-07:00

Wedding Planning

Ok so my sister Nicole is getting married and I went with her wedding dress shopping. All of us girls had fun but Kellen got pretty bored. That is until he discovered this step surrounded by mirrors. He thought that this was the best thing in the world. I can't figure out if he thought there were a bunch of little boys there or if he just likes to look at himself. Either way it was entertaining in between dresses.

2007-06-05T23:16:00.000-07:00

Kellen reading his favorite book.

Kellen playing a little catch with Shawn before Shawn heads off to school.

Dallas

So the Mecham girls decided to do a girls weekend the last weekend of April. We went to Dallas, Texas where Shawn's brother Del and his family live. All the girls went and we had a blast.

While we were in Dallas we went to see Wicked. Shawn's cousin's wife, Michelle, played Galinda and was fantastic. Michelle was able to get us great tickets and we all had so much fun. Here we all are after the show.

Jeff (Shawn's cousin) and Michelle, aren't they gorgeous?

Vicki and Trey hangin out on the porch before dinner on Sunday.

Hut Hut Hike! Kellen playing around with Daddy. It is all about football for this kid.

Kellen practicing stand with Shawn.

Here is our adorable Kellen!!!

Kellen has discovered the stairs and has fast become a wiz at going up them. Going down is another story. In short he can't.

Kellen and his cheese ball smile. Every time he hears the camera he turns and gives me his semi toothless grin.

Kellen loves to look through his legs, we don't know where he learned it but he has a blast doing it. Shawn thinks he might be practinig to be a center in the NFL someday.

Kellen with his movie that he inherited after destroying it on the tile.

2007-06-05T22:21:00.000-07:00

Here is my cute neice Ainsley. Isn't she so adorable. My sister and her kids came into town and we had so much fun hangin out.

Parker and Ethan playing with their marshmallow shooters, those things are deadly.

All of the kids helping Kellen with his walker. Kellen sure did love having all his cousins on the Costley side together.

2007-06-05T22:11:00.000-07:00

Shawn's Birthday

I lnow this is a couple months late, but better late than never. Here is Kellen, Shawn and Vicki (Shawn's Mom). We went shopping for Shawn's Birthday and Kellen loved looking at the water fountain.

My sister Christie and her kids came into town the same weekend as Shawn's Birthday and so the whole family went out to dinner.

Here is Shawn with his Birthday cake.

Of course there has to be a picture with Kellen and Daddy on Daddy's Birthday. Kellen sure does love the camera.

2007-04-11T18:35:00.000-07:00

Kellen's 1st Easter

Kellen had so much fun on his first Easter. We went to Colette's parents house and hung out with the family. Shawn's mom also came to the Costley's house, his dad was out of town, so we had a lot of fun.

Kellen loved the Easter eggs and his football basket. He is getting good at "finding" Easter eggs since this is his third Easter egg hunt this year. We had an Easter egg hunt with the Mechams and with some friends the days before Easter. Sorry no pictures since Colette did not bring her camera for either one, I am trying to be better.

Here is the family. As usual the boys are ganging up on mom.

October in Utah

Kellen and I(Colette) had the opportunity to go to Utah the first weekend of October. Even though it was Conference Weekend that was not why we were there. We went with my parents to go and celebrate my grandma's 86th Birthday. Here is Kellen with my grandma (on the left) and my great aunt JoAnn.

Kellen looking so cute in his beenie.

Four of my cousins had babies in the last year. Here is Kellen with three of them, Madilyn, Bentley, and Joshua. Madilyn is one now and Bentley and Joshua were born in April so they are 2 months older than Kellen. I hope they can be good friends when they grow up, like I was with my cousins.

Here is Grams getting ready to blow out her candles.

Here is Kellen hangin out on the grass. He has this new thing, he pulls his pant leg up. He even does it when he wears shorts.

Here are the three boys hangin out. We all were playing around outside and the boys loved being on the blanket and playing with each other.

Young's Farm

Shawn and I decided to drive up to Prescott the second weekend of October so we could go to Young's Farm before they closed. It was a lot of fun and we were able to see Ben and Amberly and their two adorable kids, Jolie and Bronson. It was a great day.

Here is how Kellen spent alot of the day. Good thing he likes it in his stroller.

Kellen playing around in the pumpkins, he had alot of fun getting dirty.
