Christmas 2010

Christmas Eve was spent traditionally at Taylor's parent's house. However, this year they are living in the Kwajalein Islands. Taylor and Rowdy put on a great feast instead at their house. The kids had a great time playing and opening presents while the adults visited and stuffed our faces.
Joe got his favorite gift of all a Tron.

Keegan got a cool remote controlled tractor.

What a big brother!

An early Christmas with Kayla before she headed back to Twin. Here she was opening a remote controlled helicopter from grandma. She also got a sweet Aeropostale sweat outfit and a nice plaid winter jacket from us.

Keegan opened a present early from Grandma too. Perfect for playing in the dark in his secret closet.

All excited on Christmas morning.

Stockings first... Opening Kendal's for her.

Tearing into the presents. He knew exactly what he needed to do this Christmas.

Kendal getting to practice a little with the paper too.

Santa brought an awesome train track for Keegan and we gave him HUGE tool set

and clothes...

Watching all the unwrapping being done.

All of the Ineck Clan came over for Christmas dinner. Adam and Adriane brought bouncy balls for all of the kids. Oh, what fun they had with these!!

It was the first Christmas dinner in the new house. We did things a little off tradition, but our tradition by making a yummy prime rib. Cooked to perfection.

Clayton and David sitting up like big boys.

Little Miss...

Louisa busting into her presents from Beth. Guess what it is? A new camera.

Brads gift was the most comical. A shake weight... Let me just say you would need to watch the South Park episode to get it...

Adriane and Brady waiting their turn for presents.
I was so excited to get an addition to my Willow Creek Nativity from Adriane.

Keegan got a fun colorful stacking train, books and PJ's.

It was great to have Adam and Adriane stay here with the kids for a couple of nights too while they were in town. The kids had a blast playing with each other and sharing the tub.

Brady shaving off a little peach fuzz.

Keegan in his bubble haven.
What a blessed Christmas we had. We are so lucky for such great friends and family. We love you all!!

Grandma's Visit

Grandma came for another visit to see us and the new addition to the family. Time always goes by so fast when she is here and it always so busy. This year we had snow during her visit, so Keegan and her ventured out to make snowmen. Keegan absolutely LOVED it!!
It was time to decorate for Christmas. Keegan wanted to put the star on the tree to start us out. Just needed a little hoist up from dad.

Grandma loves reading stories to Keegan when she comes to visit. He always gets new books to read when she is here.

Grandma getting some one on one time with Kendal. Looks like she is sick of me taking pictures of her already.

Grandma loving time with the kids!!

Sleep!

My silly boy.

Mom FINALLY resting. Sleep is overrated!!!

Keegan enjoying his early Christmas present from The Kaminski Family. It's a cycle video game. What a great gift!!

Kendal snuggling with her new super soft blanket.
Every vacation with grandma comes to an end. We wish that she and Papa Harley just lived here:)
We miss grandma so much when she is gone!!!

Kendal Yvonne

November 15th, 2010 at approximately 3:20 my water broke. Told Brad who was given the day off it's time to roll. Keegan with his face full of orange Cheetos was put in the back seat, messy face and all. We were off to the races. Wondering how long it would take for us to get to the hospital and if we would make it. While Brad was driving he was calling everyone telling them "Thunder cats are go." Meaning it was time and I get in trouble for using my cell phone when I am driving. Hum mm. Sitting in triage waiting for a room.

Getting hooked up to the monitor. Was initially dilated to a 3 with regular contractions. Couldn't get up walking cause I was leaking amniotic fluid still with each contraction and they were worried cause her head wasn't engaged enough that the cord could prolapse out. At one point I was allowed to start walking but then she decided to be naughty and have a heart rate drop during a 2.5 minute contraction. After waiting 20 minutes I was doing laps. Well about 5 till the contractions were starting to get harder and harder. We made it back to the room where I had one more bad one, got super nauseated and felt like I needed to push. The nurse was called. I got checked at was at 6cm. me not tolerating the strength of contractions and didn't want to loose the ability to have an epidural the nurse anesthetist came in. First attempt was failed due to a super strong contraction, well and my husband needing to sit down. Got a little weak at the knees. Who's the patient now? Second attempt was in the right spot and barely felt a thing afterwards. Next thing you know I was completely dilated and ready to push. A few minutes later...


Kendal Yvonne Ineck arrived into the world at 8:51pm.
Proud Mommy!!
She weighed 6lbs 11 ounces and 20 inches long. Kendal was full of white cheese (Vernix)



Kendal getting checked over by the newborn nursery nurse.



Proud Daddy!!

Sucking on her fist rearing to eat.

She has a good set of lungs on her too.

Quick nap while under the warmer.

We got all situated up in the Mother Baby unit. Things were busy that night. Once Kendal's temperature was stable enough it was time to bring her to the nursery for a bath. At first she absolutely hated it. Then...



She loved getting her hair washed.

Wow, look at all of that hair she has...

Our beautiful little princess!!

The big brother came up the next morning to meet his new little sister. Not sure what to think at first, but she grew on him.

Yeah, the BIG Brother!!!

Brotherly LOVE!

Taylor getting some snuggles in.

Kendal and Daddy time.

Happy Birthday Papa, sorry we missed your birthday by one day. Still a great gift thought!

All dressed and ready to go home for the first time.

Catnap

All packed up and ready to leave the hospital. Sayonara!!

Heading home, with one spot to meet Muma.

Lounging in the bouncy.

A little jaundiced, but asleep!!
