We have always wanted to plant a garden and this year it had happened. We planted our seeds when my mom was out back on May 3rd. She stayed inside with Kyler because he was still too young to go outside and it was really windy out. Justin told me we had stuff growing while i was searching for something in the fridge. i was so confused. He made it sound like i had who knows what growing in my fridge. Then he made it clear that stuff wasn't growing in the fridge but in the garden. I got all excited and went out to look. We are growing Sugar Snap Peas, Green Beans, Green peas, corn, Yellow and Green Squash, Banana cucumbers, lemon cucumbers, and regular green cucumbers. Tomatoes, Green bell peppers, jalapenos, and raspberries. oh and maybe beets and carrots if they grow. i haven't seen them sprout but i hope they do. yum yum. I never thought I'd say yum to beets but they are pretty good. i have a recipe that call for beets and mandarin oranges. they are really good. it sounds different but its good.
Kennedy is copying everything we say so much. it is really great. at night we usually say prays for her but now we slow down and say a little at a time so she can practice saying the prayer. she wont let us forget one night of prayers. and good for her. It is fun to hear. I'll say bless daddy and she will just say daddy. but Heavenly Father gets the idea. I bet He thinks it's cute too.
Kennedy had been interested in opening and closing doors too. It seems to have started when i was in the hospital with Kyler. the doors have a handle that you just have to pull down and the door will open. super easy for kennedy. so sneeking out of the room was easy for her. since then she has been checking out all the doors everywhere. holding them open closing them. She cant reach all the doors in our house yet, thankfully. She thinks she is a big girl though.

Getting Started
I've probably needed to do this for a while. So many things get to happen here at home that i know if i don't write it down i definitely will forget.
I guess I should introduce our family and tell a little about each person
Justin: What a great guy. I'll probably do all the talking for him since he is mostly working and not as interested in writing his own thoughts down. Justin is such a hard worker. He owns his own semi truck. He hauls crude oil from the basin to the SLC refineries. Justin has always loved the big trucks, even as a little boy. Kennedy and her cousins play with the toy trucks Justin used to play with as a little boy. Justin is such a sweet heart. Justin had to work the night before mothers day. He didnt get home til about 7 or 8 the next morning. I had been up with kyler that night and was so tired. it seemed everytime i put him down he woke up. he loves to sleep with us and it bugs me. i dont like anyone or anything touching me while i sleep. so justin comes home and i look had. He says so do you want to take a nap or do you want me to make you breakfast. i said i want you to watch them while i take a shower. It felt good not having to keep kennedy away from kyler while i try to shower. I get out of the shower and smell justin cooking. He makes the best over easy eggs. He knows how to cook it just how i like it. After i feed kyler he says ok now go take your nap. its 10 am. i slept for 2 1/2 hours. i didnt know i could sleep that long that early in the morning. it felt so nice. Anything i could have been bought couldnt beat that morning that justin gave me for mothers day.
Kennedy: My little 1 year old. She will turn 2 July 3rd. She is almost there. Two years have gone by really fast. She is such a character. Total Drama Queen. She enjoys hanging out with her dad. He is good about taking her outside and taking her for 4 wheeler rides, feeding the cows and horses and playing in dirt. One time while dad and she were feeding the cows she was watching how they eat hay and decided she could eat like them so she bent over and took a big bite of hay and started chomping away. Justin told her to spit it out but couldn't help but laugh. Kennedy will copy anything you do. One time I was talking to her in a Mafia type voice. It was hilarious to hear here talk back. We talked like that with her for the rest of the night.
Kyler: The newest edition to the Freston Family. Born April 22 2009. Weighing in at 7 lb 9 oz. At his recent Dr appointment he weighed 7 lb 15 1/2 oz. That surprised me. I didn't think he would gain his birth weight and some by his 2 week apt. Right now he is your typical infant. Eat, sleep, poo. Not a whole lot of variety in his life. Kennedy was a thumb sucker at his age and has been one ever since. Kyler is not and i am thankful for that for many reasons: its easier to take a pacifier away when he is too old to suck on one, in the winter his thumbs wont shrivel up and crack. I wont have to worry about putting anything to keep from getting infected. He currently sometimes enjoys his portable swing and his chair that sings and vibrates. He sleeps in that chair. its not super upright just back enough for him to sleep. He enjoys waking up in the night and keeping mom awake. Don't worry we will break that cycle some time. He can lift his head but cant keep it up. He is working on it.
Tenisha: Myself. Justin and i have been married for 4 years this last April. It seems like only yesterday i was seran wrapping his truck. oh the good old days. Care free, not as many bills. I was such a dork dating justin. I'm not one to wear my emotions. I remember the first time i told him i loved him. it was totally by accident. i laughed at myself. I don't remember what we were talking about but i know i said something that surprised him and he said "What?!" and i had to quickly change the subject and blurted out "uh nothing... I love you". then he came back with a bigger "What?!" I realized too late what i said and turned red and said "nothing". I was such a dork. not much has changed. i still am a goof ball. I really dont like to talk about myself but i definately will fill you in on what is happening here.
like kennedy has had a cold these last couple days. she has had a runny nose. we wipe her nose all the time but how do you teach a kid to blow their nose. well justin gave it a try. i laughed so hard. remember i said kennedy will copy anything you do well justin was holding a tissue to her nose and said "now blow" so kennedy looks at him and says "bow" i laughed so hard. she did exactly what he said. you cant falt her. it was really cute. later she figured out how to blow out her nose. That is just as cute.
I didnt realize i'd write this much but i guess a lot has to be said after nothing for 4 years.
Til next time...
