Welcome Home.....
My brother Bryan has arrived home for Iowa safe and sound!!!! He came home last friday and it ws a lot of fun picking him up at the airport. My mom had bought some balloons that said welcome home on them and Kaydence decided she needed to play with them! It was a great day to see him and we are glad that he is home!

Kaydence finally fits into her ruffle bum tights! They are my favorite. She was too cute so i had to post this picture of her in the tights!!!

Kaydence loved the pumpkin patch!

Hey FRIENDS and FAMILY

A lot has happened to us these last few months and that has kept me from updating our website. As you know this is my last year in school so i am trying to get caught up on all my schooling and turn in everthing for graduation! Yay!!!!
Also we have had a tragic loss to our family. My brother Miles's best friend was killed in a car accident. He was like a little brother to me and this has up set our family tremendously. My brother is doing well and working hard for two in New Zealand but this was a complete shock and my other brothers and sisters are still grieving. Pray for Miles that he will continue to stay on the right path and work hard on his mission!
We are also picking up my brother Bryan from his mission tomorrow!!!! We are very excited for him to come home. He seems like he has changed and for the better and he is excited to see and meet Kaydence!
We have also had our pictures taken as a family so you can see how big Kaydence is getting. The Website to view all of our pictures in www.tkdesigncompany.com/harkness. Hope that you will take a sec and look at the cute pictures of Kaydence!!!!

Kaydence is now learning how to smile and talk. In the morning instead of crying when she wakes up she talks and talks and talks! It's a lot of fun! We love playing with her and she is always in a good mood!

Sorry i have been so bad with updating our blog. Alot has happened. This is us as Will's brother's wedding. He ws married on Aug. 6 in the Jordan River temple. It was a very fun day and i got to buy Kaydence a really fun dress! Mylie and Kaydence looked so cute in their matching dresses! Congrats to the Newlyweds!

2 MONTHS OLD!

So i know i have been really bad and haven't updated our blog for awhile but here is what has been going on! Kaydence is now 21/2 months old. We go into the doctor today to get her shots and checkup. Mom is not very excited! She is now smiling a lot and really knows who her parents are. She is still a great a baby with a few exceptions when mom is at work, she is kind of having mommy withdrawals. Will is still working hard and he just got himself a new big boy toy! He just bought a Buggy for us to take on camping trips and enjoy with our kids. we are excited to take it out! As for me I am trying to get used to being back to work. i like the chance to get out of the house but am missign Kaydence a lot. We are doing great and looking forward to my brother coming home in three months!

First Part of July!

Will's best friends from high school and baby Kadyence.
These are the girls and the boys! My sis and Tyce, Me Will and Baby, Mike and Jen, Brian and Jeanette.

This is my grandma holding Kaydence on her blessing day. She was gorgeous and it was such a special day. I will never forget it! Will gave her an amazing blessing. It was short and to the point but the words were simply beautiful. here are the three grandkids on the Harkness side. Bennett is the oldest he is 2 1/2, Mylie who is 5 months, and Kaydence who is almost 2 months.

This was our first trip up to the lake this summer and Kaydence's first time ever in the water. Needless to say she hated the water! But she looked so cute in her pink hat! Will also water skiied. He is pretty good at it if he can stay up, but the water was really rough so he had a hard time.

This was my 23 birthday. I got new clothes, new shoes, mother and daugther charms for my bracelet, a new scrapbook and stuff to go with it, a new movie, and of course the coolest tool ever for my scrapbooking the Crop-o-dile.

Happy 4th of July!

Kaydence Blessing

We are Blessing Kaydence on the 6th of July @ 1 if you are planning on coming, let us know and we can send you directions, we want to do lunch afterwards, so we need a count on all who will be there. Thanks

This is mommy's little angel. I had no idea that becoming a mother could honestly make you have so much love for something else other than my husband! I have enjoyed staying home with her and looking at her all day long. Everything about her is so cute! I love watching her as she wakes up and looks around. Sometimes I wonder what she is thinking or looking at. I am not going to lie though being a mom is a tough job even if you only have one child but it has been the most rewarding thing so far and I hope that as we go on to build our family that each child will bring me as much joy and happiness and Kaydence does.

I guess I should thank the one person in my life that has made this possible Will! Thanks for giving me the opportunity to become a mother! I love you round the world and back! :)

Here are some new family pictures of us! Kaydence slept right through them and as you can see she is all spread out! I think she is tired of getting her pictures taken! :)

Happy Fathers Day! This is Will's first father's day! He is a great new dad! He takes very good care of Kaydence. He loves her very much and it is so cute to watch him give her a bath, quiet her down, and take naps with her. He is a wonderful husband and new father and I am so glad to have him in my life!

A Quick Family Update

Just a quick update to let you all know how we are doing. Will is working very hard for Saunders Construction, while I am staying home on Maternity leave with little Kaydence (and enjoying every moment with her). We have been working, well Will has also been working on small upgrades in our house. In the last week he has tiled our front entry way which looks really good and he is now working on riping up the flooring in the Laundry room so he can lay tile in there as well. I will go back to work in about a month and am looking forward to it but also going to be sad because that means that Kaydence is getting so much bigger!
A big event that we are looking forward to is blessing Kaydence the first Sunday in July. That is going to be one special day!
More to come! :)

Russell and Emily came to visit and they brought Bennett and Mylie. Mylie is only 3 months older than Kaydence but next to each other Mylie looks like a giant. Mylie weighed only 11 pounds and Kaydence weighed about 61/2 pounds. But hopefully they will grow up and be about the same size and have fun playing together!

Will's favorite thing to do with Kaydence is take a nap with her! This was a saturday morning when he could just lay in bed with her. I just had to take the opportunity to capture every cute moment he has with her! They are so cute together! Daddy's little angel!

2 weeks old!

Hello friends and family!



Kaydence is now 2 weeks old! i can't believe that it has already been that fast! she is still a little sweet heart and we love her to pieces! we went to the doctor today for her two week check up and she is now 6n pounds 12 ounces! so in one week she has gained almost a pound! she is still very little and petite which is nice but she needs to grow just a little more to fit in all of her clothes! i am having a very hard time keeping her dressed because she only has so many preemie clothes that fit and we usually go through about three outfits a day between the spitting up and the pooping up her back! (mom usually goes through about two to three outfits as well!) :)



Yesterday was quite and adventure we had to take uncle Miles to the MTC and it was really hard for me to have to say goodbye and know that his niece is going to be 2 when he gets back. It was also really hard to watch him give her a kiss goodbye. Not that she really cares but it was way hard on me! She did leave quite the impression on some people while we were there! Right in the middle of the short orientation she made this loud rumbling noise in her car seat. The people in front of us thought that it was me or Will. I looked down the aisle and saw that my entire family was laughing! So here we are on this sad occasion and she is just right at home leaving her mark!

Being parents takes on a whole new meaning when you have a newborn who doesn't care about anything such as passing gas! I guess you start to loose all decency and manners when you are in public with a newborn!

Here are some stats to go along with the pictures! On my side of the family this is the first grandbaby! On Will's side this is number three for his parents. Both sets of grandparents just love her a lot. All of them can't stand to be away from her for more then a few days! Needless to say she is one well loved and spoiled gandbaby!

update on Kaydence

Here are some more pictures of Kaydence! We are enjoying every minute with her. Sometimes we just stare at her and watch all of her cute little faces. Will enjoys taking lots of naps with her when he comes home from work. It is the cutest thing ever to see him with her! She turely is Daddy's little girl!

She is here! Kaydence Elaine Harkness made her entrance into the world on Wednesday May 21st. She weighed 6.2 pounds and was 19 inches long. She definatly loves her daddy and looks just like a girl version of Will! So its a good thing is is pretty cute! Both Mom and her are doing great! We are so excited to have recieved such a special gift from our Heavenly Father! She truely is a princess and a great blessing to have in our home.

Hello Friends and Family:

Just an update on what we've been doing and a look into the future! We just finished another semester at Weber State and are way exctied that it is finally over and we are out for the summer! Will is working hard with Saunders Construction. He already looks like he has been out in the sun for months now! I am working at Shopko as the Customer Service Supervisor and have been for a just over a year! We are looking forward to having a baby here in about three weeks! We are getting a girl and naming her Kaydence Elaine Harkness! We are so excited and can't wait for her to come. Will has been asked so many times if he is ready to be a dad and his reply is "Yeah i'm bored, I have put everything together!" And he has he painted and put together the entire nursery! So the next few weeks we will just be sitting here waiting for little Kaydence to arrive!
