DADDY DAUGHTER~FAIR~!!

Well, since Morgan is only 13 days old...Cody and Kennedy had a date with the rides and fair food.  Kennedy has been talking about it for a week.  Funny how kids don't forget things.  I'm not gonna lie, Morgan and I did show up for an hour so I could get in some fair food!! Morgan stayed in her carrier covered up while the rest of us indulged...
I didn't dare take a picture of myself but here are the pics of Kennedy riding those rides and eatin some food.  They also ran into some friends of ours, the Heaths', and Kennedy got to ride along with her, Kennedy LOVES Charly!!

Kennedy and Charly

Oh and here is Morgan while they were having all the fun! At least we had air conditioning and both Eclipse movies...ha ha

And More GOOD news!!

Someone is expecting in April....

No not me, or Julia....

My little sister Jordan and her hubby Brandon are expecting their first little baby the end of April!!!
I could not be more excited! I'm thinking boy, and still have a while to wait.  Jordan is feeling good, she's still teaching and coaching.  So greatfull to be able to be around my sisters while we all are starting our families.  I'm thinkin Jordan should try and have the most kids, so far all she has to beat is 4.

Cha Cha Cha Changes...

So a week ago yesterday I went to work going on practically no sleep due to a night full of contractions, worked all morning, and suddenly realized I was spending more time making bathroom trips then tending to patients.  Then around 3 I drove home tired from the day.    Cody met me at home and drove me to the hospital because of a slow leak. 
Cody was pretty funny driving me to the hospital going 80, weaving through all the cars.  Ha ha, what a guy!  When we got there I asked for an epidural but was told I had to wait until I was admitted...SO I did.  I was dilated to a 4 and having progressive contractions every 3 minutes.  It was an amazing Labor and Delivery, I got my epidural after some relaxing IV medications, gotta love Nubian..., pushed 10 minutes and Morgan Kae Seaton arrived PERFECT!!!  Cody couldn't be happier with his two little "spawns".   Kennedy is comical, Cody and I just look at each other after some of the things she says or will do.  She is in love with her baby sister Morgan Grace Seaton, ha ha.  Morgan is so quiet and smiles ALL THE TIME, she must feel how much we all love her so.  Since Morgan is our last one I do occasionally hold her, Cody says I'm spoiling her, ha...and, I am! 

So Due to the above event, a change in blog name was in store.  So it has become Spawns of Seaton, hahaha.  I just love my little spawns!!!!

And 3 turns into 4!!!

Spawn of Seaton

Soon to make her appearance...

our very own MORGAN KAE SEATON!! Cody finally decided on a name, and I am very pleased with it :) I had a shower this past Saturday and I got all this AMAZING stuff, my hostesses did a very good job. My friend Krista made my door hanger, letter "M" that is hanging above the closet, lamp, bow holder, and diaper cake! Check her stuff out HERE

I am so very pleased with how her room turned out, I still have some things to hang on the walls but the major decorating is behind me HALLELUJAH!!!! Cody drew and painted this tree in the corner, he's so talented!
I am in love with these colors, Jordan came over and helped with these stripes, and she also painted the letters in Morgan's name! Now if we could just find a baby to enjoy this room, HA!

So since we will no longer be a family of 3, my blog name is soon to change! (Exciting I know :) I'm due September 24th, but if she's anything like her big sister it's gonna be a waiting game...

The artist at work!

Waiting for baby #2!!

Not sure how much Kennedy understands about the big event coming up,

she has started noticing my belly getting bigger...and bigger :)

In these last few months Kennedy has totally turned toddler/big girl. She LOVES playing with her friends at "school" and going to nursery at church to see her "nursery friends". Her favorite things right now are:

1. DORA (there's no avoiding any little girl from loving Dora)
2. Sippy cups and milk (my current battle with her, moving onto regular cups)
3. Ice Cream or Sno Cones
4. Playing ANYTHING outside
5. Being held and cuddled (my favorite too :)
   

Our family is better than ever and we continue to prepare for this new baby and embrace all the changes we have endured. We have many blessings and thank our Heavenly Father daily for giving us all that we have. We have about 4 months untill the newest little girl meets our family, or untill we meet her!! So it'll be busy busy from here on out!!

Barnyard Birthday

Cody's nephew, Kadon, turned one in February and actually my nephew, Jared turned two two days before he did. Kadon had a barnyard themed party last weekend and I'm just now getting around to posting those pictures. I'm pretty tired tonight so no more talk here's the photo montage.....

REVI9W..just in case you missed it...

Cody is still working at Atmos Energy and I think I finally understand what exactly he does!! Some of the stories he tells me about work experiences make me realize he tolerates WAY more than I would be able to and has more patience than i give him credit. He is a diligent reader and that is what you could find him doing in his free time. He is currently loving to read anything to do with history and religion (Nerd)...well THAT or playing his Xbox :) 2010 has a lot in store for him, I feel, his work is undergoing some changes that may or may not affect him, but with a new call center being built here come changes so we will work through them if we need to. Although our place is in Amarillo and there's no denying that.I am still working PRN (as needed) at BSA Family Medical Clinic and Children's Home Health. I am staying home with our little Grace for the most part and I've recently noticed that 2010 may hold a change for that as well....I'll explain later...Recent events made me remember a discussion with Cody earlier this fall how our family has not had to endure much heartache and how lucky we are. Well I ate those words Christmas Eve when Gigi decided that her time on this earth was up and she decided to go to sleep and join the rest of our family who passed on. As my dad would say, "our family understands death" so this didn't scare or discourage me when she died. I am so happy she is free from pain and that she was able to be here long enough to share life experiences with us as long as she did. I do miss her and want so badly to talk to her and that will be hard. So therefore; I am happy that I am able to have the knowledge of the truth and that families are forever. It has made our family stronger to endure such a loss and I underestimated our ability to pull through the huge loss of our Gigi. Moving on....my plans for 2010 include continuing working where I'm needed and spending time with Kennedy. Kennedy Grace this girl is hilarious, polite, stubborn, loving, and way too smart!! I am so proud of who she is becoming. Currently her favorite things are: church nursery (I have to PULL her out of there), her kitchen, (present from Santa) and YO GABA GABA (I thought it was a phase) She is still sleeping in her toddler bed and got new bedding from Nonna and Pepa so it looks like we'll be needing to get her actual bed set up soon!!! She is almost unmovable on the potty training subject. She just DOES NOT wanna do it. I broke down and bought her an actual potty seat and we shall see how that goes. I mentioned earlier that I knew a change would have to occur for her in 2010 and that's because she LOVES being around other kids. I mean most kids run to their parents when they pick them up from nursery and Kennedy locks on to the slide, door, whatever and I have to peel her off because she loves it so much. We are going to enroll her in Mary and Rogers Day school 3 days a week. I took her to look at it and I figure she's going to do well for the simple fact that she CRIED when we LEFT!! She wanted to stay and I had to end up taking her to Jump and Jive to make up for getting her hopes up. She is Cody and my life and we decided that we couldn't have her growing up an only child so someday we will have a brother or sister for her to pester.

We still live in our first home and although it's old and I am sometimes forced to love it....I am happy staying here for the time being. We have done a lot of work to our house and it's perfect for us 3! (well 5 with Penny and Fender)

2009 was a happy year for us, we had our 1 year celebration of having our sweet daughter and we were blessed to be able to vistit my parents in Corpus frequently and I am thankful that we are able to do that. In four weeks our little one will be 2!! The first best thing about 2010 so bring it on!! Happy New Year to you all!!

First Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below.

With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.

The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,

but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir here.

I have no words to tell you, the joy their voices bring,

for it's beyond description to hear the angels sing.

I know how much you miss me,I see the pain in your heart,

I am not so far away,we aren't far apart.

So be happy for me dear ones.You know I hold you dear

and be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I send you each a special gift from my heavenly home above.

I send you each a memory of my undying love.

"LOVE" is the gift, more precious, even than pure gold.

It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.

Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,

for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you.

So, have a Joyous Christmas and wipe away that tear.

Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

My Gigi left this earth on Christmas day perfectly and suddenly. I am sad and in disbelief. My family feels incomplete without her. But she is SO deserving of where she is and who she is with...and that gives me comfort.
I love you Gigi
:)

HALLOWEEN!!

This year's Halloween was a BLAST!! Cody and I had a party at our house the day before Halloween and I was a bit under the weather, but it didn't stop me from having our 5th annual party. I dressed up as a Cindy Loper, 80's gal and Cody was...to no surprise...Optimus Prime. Kennedy was a monkey, although her costume could pass for a mouse, or bear also. She was hilarious this year, she's not shy at all and walked up to the houses (by herself), knocked, said "twik o tweet", got candy, said "thank you", and shut the door. She is so funny and independent. Cody went ahead and put full use into his costume and dressed up with her to do the Trick or Treating. I didn't dress up the dogs this year although Fender has his hot dog costume and Penny has her Lady bug. I decided not to torture them this year. OK so here come the pictures.....
