~Cousin Time~

The end of October Amanda and her girls came out to Delta to spend a day or two with us.  It was so fun and I love when my sister comes to stay.  Kayson and her two girls have so much fun together! 

Nothing like a sucker right before bed time :)

Kenzi, Kayson, and Brooklyn

The first part of November, Amanda's little girl Brooklyn got so so sick and they ended up having to take her to Primary's.  She had a twisted bowel which was so distended and enlarged... which made her one very sick little girl. Long story short she ended up having surgery to repair the twisted bowel, removed her appendix while they were in there, had gallstones a few days later, and then reopened her to remove her gallbladder.  What a tough, challenging few weeks for their little family.  Brooklyn was such a sick little girl and was a trooper through the whole thing.  Bless her little heart.  She was in so much pain! We took Kenzi for the first week and I was so glad we were in Provo the night Amanda and Brandon had to rush Brooklyn up to Primary's.  This is the very quick rendition of what actually happened, but I will never forget seeing my sweet little niece suffering through so much pain, with everyone feeling so helpless.

(Brooklyn knew I was taking a picture and was saying "cheese"! Sweet little girl) 

Meanwhile, us in Delta were having a party!

As I mentioned earlier, being prego and so so sick, having two little ones running around, at times, was a bit challenging.  Kayson and Kenzi are 3 months apart in age and had so much fun together... "Refereeing" was almost a constant with these 2! :) So glad when Coby would get home and help entertain!

We had so much fun raking and jumping in the leaves! The kiddos decided it was also fun to be drug around the yard on the tarp! :)

It was so fun having Kenzi for the week. Luckily Kays and Kenz are the same size, cause all we had for her were Kayson's clothes and what she was wearing the night we picked her up.  Although most days, they looked like little twins in matching outfits, we did make a few trips to the store for hair things and some cute, fun girl clothes!  I loved doing her hair and had so much fun having a girl around! Sure do love their family and had so much fun bonding with Kenzi for the week!
