All of September!!!

September was kind of a crazy month! But I figure I better get the blog updated or I may never blog again. So... this first photo is just for fun, I just love my little guy so much, and I love this photo.
September 3rd-7th:
We took the opportunity to fly to Sacramento to visit Preston's sister Jessica, and her Husband Brett. Kellen did better then expected on the flight there. The flight back, couldn't have gotten any worse! He was so overwhelmed with everything, and just couldn't calm down. He thew a 2 hr tantrum! The looks we were getting were the best I've ever seen. We even had people leaving the area because Kellen was so loud. I was really really worried someone was going to call security or something. By the time we got on the flight Kellen was just about all out of steam. It only took a few minutes, and he was passed out in the window seat. Literally it looked like he just pasted out, one second he was fighting me and the next he's a limp noodle. I wasn't worried though because I've seen him do this before. He slept the whole flight.
The reason we headed to Sac was so we could be apart of Brett's baptism. It was a wonderful experience and we are so glad we could be there.

Labor day:
We spent Labor Day at Brett's Mothers house and some of his family. Because Kellen wanted to get in the pool I had to get in to so I could watch him. Man that water was cold. We also spent the day with Preston's sister Jessica, brother Boyd and his girlfriend Jenny.

There was also time for the boys to run around a bit. What a sweaty kid!
This is Daxton, Kellen's cousin. Daxton is just 5 weeks younger.

September 11th-15th:
We found out on September 10th that Preston's Grandfather had suffered a bad Stroke and that things did not look good. We felt that is was important that Preston fly to Grand Junction CO to be with his family, especially with the thought, that a funeral might not be to far off. It was a very hard decision to make, but we decided that Kellen and I would stay behind. We new that it wouldn't be the best place for Kellen. And the idea of taking another flight so soon was daunting. Preston and Ross flew from here (AZ), Jessica and Boyd flew from CA, and Cameron drove from UT.
James Hardy passed away on September 12th.
That day is a very significant day for me, it marks the day that my brother Michael, and my sister Sandi passed away. (13 years ago) Now we can remember this day together.
The Funeral was held on September 15th, which was also Kellen's 4th birthday. We celebrated his birthday just a few weeks ago instead.
It was really hard to be away from Preston for so long, during such a hard time.
These are Preston's siblings:

September 14th:
Preston was still out of town so I took a quick photo to send to him, Kellen and I were just heading out the door to go swimming. This is me at 32 weeks. I know there aren't to many boys that look at my blog, and the ones that do i have no problem with them seeing me in my swim suit, so I didn't think it would be a problem to post this photo. It's sad to say that this is the only photo I have of me at 8 months.
