The countdown is on......

I 'm so excited my little brother Miles will be coming home in 2 1/2 weeks from the New Zealand Wellington Mission. He left when Kaydence was 2 weeks old and now she just turned 2 last Friday! I can hardly believe that it has gone this fast!!! Will is very excited as well, him and Miles are quite good buddies. I can't wait for Miles to see how Kaydence has grown and meet Brennan. I've been working really hard with Kaydence so she will say his name and now everyday she asks me "Where uncle Miles?" So I have tto tell her we get to go pick him up in just a few weeks and she replies "oh ok".



We also jut had Kaydence's b-day. She got spoiled ROTTEN! She is so excited that she is finally 2. The last few days she has said "Mom, I two." and I say yep you are! I am not sure how I like having a 2 year old. It seems like just yesterday I brought her home and our whole world changed. She has brought a lot o joy and happiness to our family and she continues to brighten everyday!

Here is a picture of her when she was just a few months old. My how she has changed!

CRAZY KAYDENCE!

So I decided to write a little bit about my crazy daughter! As you can see from the pictures this is what living with Kaydence is like. She is so cute and fun but boy can she find herself into trouble. She lvoes getting into my makeup! As you can see from the pictures she has makeup all over her eyes. she thinks that the applicators are q-tips but for some reason she decided to stick it up her nose. She also knows exactly where to find my makeup. In the bottom far corner. She will put on all her bows and then go get my makeup. Can you tell by the look on her face that she knows what she is doing? We are also int he potty training stage that is why she is in her diaper. On quick piece of advice. She got to where she would take her diaper off while she was taking a nap and so I put it on backwards adn she can't figure it out. I was so sick of cleaning up pee on the floor!

She also loves to play with Will's hats and not just the clean ones! She will put on his hat after he comes home from work and walk around. YUCK!!! For awhile she hated the bath tub but I would try to make it fun for her and so one night i was washing her hair and I got it to stick straight up. It was so funny. So now she always asks me to stick her hair up.

Overall she is a very good girl jsut very entertaining and so busy!

Another BIG Harkness update...

Just a warning this entry is quite long and random but should bring us up to date!

March- Happy Easter! This was her dress. We went to the dance at my grandma's. she looked jut like a little princess. Work has picked up for Will, so that has been a huge blessing. I have worked really hard with my Mary Kay business and I finished first month of Car qualifications. I am so excited. I am hoping to finish it up in the month of April and i will have earned a free car with Mary Kay!
On a sad note my grandpa passed away this month. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. He was my only grandpa and he was an amazing man. He woud always make me feel important and like i was the favorite grandkid. He will be missed a lot. My love and prayers are with my lonely grandma.



I just love this picture. Also lately they have started to play with each other. Kaydence just loves him and always wants to hug him. Every morning when we are getting ready I lay them on the bed and change them both. Kaydence will roll over and say "good morning Bre". It is so cute.

February- Work was slow for Will but we managed. Kaydence did love it when Will would be home for lunch. (and i loved it when she wanted him to put her down for a nap!) Brennan came down with RSV. My life revovled around feeding, changing diapers, and giving him 3 to 4 treatments a day. We also gave Kaydence a treatment a few times. She HATED it. So now the joke is whenever she is introuble we ask her "Do you want a treatmnet?" of Course she usually she "No". We also are now feeding Brennan solids and he has been in Kaydence's high chair. One night after dinner i guess he was just way to tired he couldn't wait for me to put him to bed.

Harkness Update

Sorry for the delay in posts. We have no internet at the moment. Just trying to save a little money. But i thought i better write a little and update everyone.

Will- is trying to stay busy with work. They haven't officially layed him off but we are just on a day to day basis with work. He is a very hard worker and is trying so hard to provide for out family. He also just got into a little accident about a week ago but he is ok. He was running an errand and hit some black ice and ran into a ditch and tipped the truck on its side. Luckily he walked away with only a few bruises.

Me- working a little part time to help out the family finacially and working really hard with my Mary Kay business. I am working on earning my first free car. I really enjoy running my own little business and meeting new people and helping them increase their self-esteem. Plus it gives me a chance to talk to people my age for a couple hours a day. I can only talk 2 year old jibberish for so long!

Kaydence- Oh boy what do i say about kaydence. That girl has more spunk then she knows what to do with. Everyday is a new adventure with her. One night I was trying to make a good dinner for Will and Brennan was crying, the oven was beeping and then there was Kaydence dancing on the top on my kitchen table! Sometimes i don't no where she comes up with the things she does but i can't get mad at her because it is so funny. She is really into coloring latley and sometimes it doesn't always end up on the paper. She is also talking up a storm. If you ask her how old she is going to be she will say "five". So i guess i am going to have a 5 year old in a few months.

Brennan- Oh my sweet little boy who doesn't sleep at night! He is so sweet and just goes with the flow which is good because his sister wants to take him everywhere! The older he gets the more and more he looks just like Will. His eyes have stayed really dark and he is just so cute! He just turned 5 months. I can hardly believe that he is already that old.

Well i know this is getting to be a long post but i haven't written anything in a long time!

Life as we now know it.....Busy!

Sorry for the delay in posts its been pretty crazy at our house. As you can see from my last post we lost one of our cars. In the month of september is was like our lives had been turned upside down. The only blessing in that month was that we had a beautiful baby boy who is our little piece of heaven in a rough month. Within the same week as our car breaking down I cam down with Mastitus for a few days. I had a fever and really didn't feel good but I had to feel good no matter what because Will had to work and I had to small kids who both needed me and sometimes at the sametime. Without me working we had to really cut back on expenses and boy have we learned how to live on our food storage and really budget. At least we have each other and we have come a lot closer as a family. Plus we still have a beautiful baby boy.... who of course looks exactly like Will!
