These have been some of my friends from my classes the last 2 years! Tiffany and Krista. We have been pretty close in working together and doing projects and many papers together! These girls were great to get to know and to have as friends while in college. Hope we can stay in touch!

Graduation!!!!!

Finally the day came and I am now a college graduate! It was a great day to finally feel done! I worked very hard all while being pregnant, a mom, and pregnant again! I am so gald it is over and we got to celebrate that whole day! I graduated with my Bachelor's Degree in Family Studies with and Education Minor. I just have to give a great shout out to everyone who helped us babysit Kaydence while I finished school! Thank you!

Kaydence and her random habits!

Here are some pictures of the funny things Kaydence does. She loves her binky to death but sometimes she doesn't even have to be sucking on it to be happy!

Harkness News!

Well as you all know because Will can't keep secrets we are gong to be having another baby! This came as a huge surprise in fact it was a complete shock! I was wondering how in the heck are we going to manage. We have just been getting used to the fact that we have a little person around the house with a very BIG ATTITUDE! There is a saying that says "I'm the princess and we'll run things my way" it completely true only Kaydence is the Queen! She definatly has a strong personality and if she doesn't want something or doesn't want to sleep she simply won't! So I have been having a struggle thinking how in the world, will isn't going to be done with school, how are we going to pay for another baby, and so on and so forth! Well i went to my first doc apointment and that changed my whole perspective. I am very grateful to be given the chance to have another baby and Heavenly Father knows that I can do it otherwise he wouldn't have given me this challenge. I am also greatful to have a husband who loves Kaydence and takes such great care of her so that will be a huge help to me! So we are very excited to be able to get another one so soon even though I am going to be very VERY busy!

Update on Kaydence. Besides having a HUGE ATTITUDE, she is crawling all over the place and into everything! She loves to stand up to every thing especially in her crib. Her favorite thing to do is stand up in her crib and yell "Mama or Dada" and the bounce. She is also loving be independent and finding her own toys and helping mom undo all of the laundry! She is going to be turning one in about a month and a half and I am so excited to have a birthday party and have my first attempt at making a decorative cake!

The big arrival date is September 20, 2009. However I went about a week early with Kaydence so sometime in the first part of Septemeber we will be getting another baby Harkness!

On to other news. Only four 4 weeks til I graduate with my Bachelor's Degree in Family Studies with an Educaiton Emphasis. I can't hardly stand it I am so excited to finally be graduating. This program has been a great education and it is going to benefit my family for years to come so now it will be time to put into practice what I have learne din the last 41/2 years!

P.S. More pics to come our camera cord is broken so I haven't been able to downlaod any pics.

Kaydence The Big Sister

It has been a long time since the last post, but to let everyone know, Kaydence is going to be a big sister!! More details to come.

New Year Up date!!!

Ok so here's the scoop at the Harkness house! A lot has been going to on to keep us very busy. kaydence is starting to crawl and she has so many new words that inlcude "MAMA" "DADA" which she is still working on this one so it is mostly "MAMAMAMAMAMA" when she wants something! She an also say "hi" if you tell her over and over again. She is also learning the word no. She understands it pretty good when you tell her no but she will look at you just to make sure you really mean it! It is so cute to see her face when you tell her No. She also loves the bath. The other night I was getting her in the bath and I usually let her splash around for a little bit, Well I went to grab her towel and came back and she had the whole bathroom floor soaking wet because she had splashed so much. So after 2 towels we finally got all the water cleaned up. Whoever thought that one little person could make such a mess?!

Also with me I will be graduating from Weber State in a few months and so I am hard at work finishing up my degree in Family Studies. This has been a lot of work and I have so many people tell me that I won't want to finish my schooling now that i have had a baby. So to all of you who think it cna' be done well guess what I am doing it! This is a huge accomplishment for me and I am so proud of myself for sticking with and finishing it up. In my spare time I am also reading the Twlight books. I have finished the first one and loved it I am reading the second one because I got the whole series for Christmas and I am stuck on like the fourth chapter. This one is a lot harder to get through but everyone has said it gets better so keep reading.

Will is still hard at work with Saunders. So far they have enough work to keep them busy for awhile and we are praying that the economy gets better so he will continue to have a job! He is also working hard to graduate from Weber State with his Construction Degree. He can't wait for me to be done so I can help him finish. He is a great Dad and Kaydence loves him! The other day he came home and picked her up and she was so excited for him to be home. He left the room for a minute to go get her some food and she started to fuss because he left her. It was the cutest thing! It is so cute to see him get down on the floor and play with her.

Christmas season has come again......

Well the christmas rush has begun again. Work for Kristin has been so busy! We both finally got school over with only one more semester for Kristin and she will be graduating!!!! We just got Kaydence's 6 month pictures taken by our sister in law Emily and she did a great job. Please take a min to check them out at http://www.emilyharknessphotography.blogspot.com/.
