Alexis' Blessing/2 month pictures

2011-08-14T17:50:00.000-07:00

This day could not have been more perfect, our kids got up and got ready without a fuss and John and I even got to ride to church together and were there EARLY!!! John did such an amazing job on her blessing!! I am so grateful for a husband that is worthy to hold the priesthood!! Most of our family and friends were able to make it and I was especially grateful for all of them and their great examples to me and my family, especially my Grandpa Lindsay!! I know my Grandma was there I could feel her with me!! We had a luncheon afterwards with the 7up chicken and lots of other yummy food!! I am going to count these pics as Lexi's 2 month pictures I haven't been as good as I was with the others to do them on the exact day she turns that month!!

Alexis is 1 month!!

2011-07-08T10:35:00.001-07:00

Sweet little Alexis is a month old already!! Where does the time go? It seems like I just had her yesterday!! She has been such a sweet addition to our family!! Here is a little about how she is growing and developing:

- She now weighs just a little under 9 lbs!! She has gained almost 2.5 lbs in a month, she is such a little chunk!!
- She is starting to smile and coo a little
- Starting to hold her head up (she is learning too fast!)
- She sleeps for 5-6 hrs straight at night

She is so cute and we love her sooo much!!!

More Alexis

Alexis Louise Hennen

2011-06-12T16:27:00.000-07:00

Alexis Louise Hennen was born Wed. June 1, 2011 at 9:51 am via C-section. She weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and was 19 inches long. Lots of hair!! She has been the most amazing addition to our family!! The kids just eat her up especially Dale!! Makaelynn is slowly warming up to her and doesn't call her "It" anymore!! John has spoiled her rotten holding her all the time and letting her sleep on him!! Its amazing I can get anything done around the house!! She has been such a sweet baby, calm and sleeps alot!! I cannot imagine our lives without her now!!! Sorry the pictures are out of order!!! More pictures to come!!!

Janet Louise Shelley Lindsay

2011-04-20T21:37:00.001-07:00

My sweet Grandma Lindsay passed away peacefully in her sleep on Sat April 16, 2011. She was the most Christ like person I have ever known. She suffered for 20 years with Muscular Dystrophy and I never once heard her complain even when they finally put a feeding tube in and she was no longer to eat food. She still made sure she made my Grandpa 3 meals a day and cooked all the food for our family dinners!! We got the great chance to actually see her the Tuesday before she passed for Makaelynn's birthday, she never forgot the birthdays. We almost missed them that day because they came while I was at the store but luckily they decided to stop by my moms and they stayed longer than they usually do, they never like to impose. They gave Makaelynn a cute little Piggy bank that talks and it is one of her favorite things!! She looked really good that day and we were all encourage that she was getting back on track. That very next day I recieved an email from her saying how proud she was of me and what a great mother I had become and even praised me for not gaining much weight with this baby. When she ended the email she said that she hopes things continue to go well for us all. I think she knew what was coming and was preparing. Thurs she got the stomache flu and went down from there. My Grandpa put her to bed that night and she told him she would feel better in the morning, and she was right!! I hope she is having the happiest reunion with her parents, brother and her Daughter!! But oh how I miss her and her weekly phone call checking on John, the kids and I!! Grandma, You are AMAZING!! Thank you for your amazing example of how a Daughter of God should live her life!!

Today I got the amazing experience to go wtih my Mom, my Aunts, my cousin and my sister to prepare her for the funeral. It was like nothing I have ever experienced!! She looked so peaceful and it was the first time she was able to close her eyes in years!! I am so thankful for the knowledge of Eternal families that I have and I know I will see her again and it will be the greatest reunion!! I love you Grandma!!

Makaelynn's New Haircut Thanks to her!!!

2011-03-30T10:47:00.000-07:00

This sweet little babe decided she was going to cut her hair yesterday while I was downstairs, I had left my haircutting stuff in the kitchen like an idiot and she got into it. I came upstairs and was horrified!! I was able to somewhat cover most of the damage but you can see the bald spot through the hair. Good thing she looks cute with short hair!!!

Her hack job!!

The side view after I cut it, you can still see a bald spot but much better than it was!!

The front view, I have since cut her some more bangs cause she cut those also!!

Luckily for me I had her hair half up and was able to switch her part to cover the damage!! Hopefully we have both learned our lessons!!!

Makaelynn's and Alexis Quilt Tops

2011-03-23T14:40:00.000-07:00

I decided I was going to make Alexis' bedding since I couldn't find exactly what I wanted so I figured I would make her and Makaelynn's match. It was so fun and easy!! Now I just have to decide whether to tie or quilt them!!!

Makaelynn's Hope

2010-12-06T13:16:00.000-08:00

My Amazing Sister and Brother in law donated this amazing tree for the Festival of Tree's in Makaelynn's name. They collected things all year long and were able to keep it a secret!! They invited us to the Festival, even got us tickets. It really meant alot to our family and I am amazed at all the love Makaelynn has!! All the money from the sale of the tree went to Primary Childrens where they were able to help our amazing daughter!!

Homemade Ornaments with the kids

2010-12-03T14:15:00.001-08:00

Super Excited to make the ornaments!!

Dale loves to paint!!

Makaelynn loving making a mess!!

All painted

Finsihed just waiting to be hung

Finished and on the tree

At the end of the year last year John and I bought this tree at Walmart for $6 to put downstairs. We decided it would be fun to let the kids make the decorations for it. It was super fun, and I even let some of my OCD go and left them the way they painted them. I even let Dale draw Frosty's mouth, Rudolphs mouth and Santa's nose. They really enjoyed it and they turned out really cute!!!

We had a very fun busy June!! We got to go to the carnival for art city days, watch the fireworks with the family, seven peaks with Dj, Kathi and the boys which is always fun!! And the zoo and tons and tons of fun with Dj and Kathi!!! And we had a new niece born on June 28 Ella and my best friend had her baby Colten on the 29th

My new project: Seat Covers for the Van

2010-05-13T11:59:00.000-07:00

I was sick of my kids ruining my seats in my old car so I decided to make covers for our van. I let the kids pick their material so it would be fun for them. I made them have two big pockets so they can put their stuff in there so its not all over in the van and I put iron on vinyl on the bottom layer just in case something spills. The best part I can take them out and wash them!!! So nice! Pretty happy about how they came out!!

Christmas Pictures (Way Way Late!!)

2010-02-17T16:22:00.000-08:00

We had an amazing Christmas!!! We got to see Santa (which Makaelynn was not a fan of!) Spend time with family and just relax!! John and I decided to do Christmas morning at our house and it was so fun to see the kids open presents and see how excited they were!! I got John a Flip camera and some other things and he got me a Spot Bot and a under the counter TV/DVD. We got the kids a few things, they got what they asked for which for Dale was a Shopping Cart (don't ask me why but he loves it!) and a vacuum, etc. So much fun!!

I have been horrible about blogging we do not have the internet so I have to come to my mom's house and her computer is not my best friend!! But we have been super busy lately! We bought Dale a wooden swing set which he is loving, Makaelynn had her 1st birthday which took her out of the 85% for mortality which is an amazing relief for me as a mom! John and I were able to go to Disneyland for a few days without the kids which was fun I just forget how tiring all that walking is!!! John just got called as the 2nd Counselor in the Elders Quorum this week so I am sure that will keep him pretty busy and with me being the Secretary in the Primary we stay busy already!! So here is a few photos of whats been going on lately-

So I have been wanting and needing to start a Bunko group!! I was in one in Eagle Mountain with my good friends Marci and Stephanie and I had alot of fun! I would like to do it the 2nd Tues. of every month at 6 pm, we would do a pot luck dinner and everyone would need to bring a $15 gift. I need 8 ladies that would like to play that would be commited to be there every month and be willing to host. So if anyone is interested let me know!! It will be lots of fun!!

World's Worst Blogger!!!

2009-02-08T16:53:00.000-08:00

Okay so I am seriously the World's Worst Blogger!! We still do not have the internet so I have to come to my moms so it is kinda a pain especially with Dale because he never wants to leave when we come!! So I decided to just put a bunch of pictures up of what we have been up to!

Dale's 1st Snowman he build with his wonderful Aunt Courtney. Dale named him after his Uncle Christopher the "Snow Man" so he called him "Bush" (which for some reason he calls Christopher that). He is still Super Sad that Bush melted and tells me so EVERYDAY!!!

Dale- "Something is up my nose!"

2008-12-07T20:32:00.000-08:00

Lately Dale has been sticking things up his nose and on Friday night I came home from shopping and John was cleaning and Dale was "watching" Elmo on our bed, he had all the wipes out and apparently stuck a piece of wipe up his nose. I had no idea that he actually stuffed something up there and I went to my Grandma Snow's to visit and left Dale at my moms, when I got back she told me he kept picking his nose and telling her something was up there, so we got a flashlight and sure enough there was a piece wedged clear up there. He is definetly my little terror!!

Almost Peed My Pants!!!

2008-09-25T14:35:00.000-07:00

So the other night we were getting ready for bed and my mom and I were talking in the kitchen for a min, Dale had been gone for a min and was very quiet never a good combo! Court was in the bathroom brushing her teeth so her bedroom door was open so I went down the hall and found Dale and found out why he was so quiet! He found Courts Bra and was wearing it like she does, it was hilarious and he didn't want to take it off he kept saying "NO Nie Nies!". I almost peed in my pants laughing!

Caught in the ACT!

Modeling it!

Making Sure its staying on!

Oh SO GRATEFUL to be a MOM!!!

2008-09-17T00:48:00.000-07:00

Right now I am sitting at the computer and it is currently 2 am, I just finished reading Courtney's last post crying my eyes out as usual while listening to the music on Makaelynn's swing. I cry because Courtney is such a amazing person and I cry for the time Stephanie and Christian are missing out with their kids, but I know they are so grateful for their loving family for caring for their children. When you read Courtney's blog you can just feel the love she has for her sister and it is amazing! It makes me ponder on how I can do more as a mom and as a wife. I think back on 5 months ago when Missy Moo was born and how I missed out on just time with her, I didn't get to experience with her what I did with Dale and that always makes me sad! I am so grateful for the time I have with her now and for the time I have with Dale, to watch them both learn and grow it is so Amazing! I pray everyday that I can have the patience I need to be a great mom and wife, and hopefully one day Dale's eyes will light up like Ollie's when he just see's a picture of me. I pray for the day Stephanie will be with her children again,there isn't a more deserving person, she is AMAZING!! I am so GRATEFUL to be a Mom!!!

Makaelynn 5 Months

Makaelynn's Belly Button

2008-05-25T01:16:00.000-07:00

I have gotten a lot of questions about what her incision looks like, they were just able to put it all back in through where her belly button should have been and they just had to make a new belly button after the surgery so her is a few pics of what it looks like now.

Dale

2008-05-25T01:03:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to give a shout out to my little man who has been so great the last month and a half. He is such a great little boy and I do not know what my life would be like without him! (He was a little grumpy when i took these pictures though because he wanted to go outside and help dad with the food on the grill!)

Cute Siblings!!!

2008-05-25T00:41:00.000-07:00

So Dale has been the best big brother always concerned about Makaelynn especially when she cries it is so dang cute! So I took a few pics of him holding her because he is always wanting to! I do have to watch him close though because when he is done holding her he tries to push her off!

Makaelynn 1 Month Old!

Makaelynn is HOME!!!

2008-05-01T17:33:00.000-07:00

This is a picture of her intestines

I was so tired!

I had to post this picture John might kill me for it but I thought it was hilarious! Dale wanted to pump like mommy and I laughed so hard!

Makaelynn hated the lights and her goggles (we kept them just in case she gets out of line!! JK!)

Makaelynn came home on Sunday, a long awaited reunion! She was at Primary's for 15 days, she was in the NICU for 6 days and in the Infant Unit for 9. She was the smallest baby the Infant Unit has seen in a long time. The nurses just ate her up! I took her to the Dr's on Monday and she is now 4 lbs 10 oz so she is gaining well. I wanted to post some pics of our little adventure! We are so grateful for all the thoughts and prayers from all our friends and family!
We love you all!
John, Whitney, Dale and Makaelynn

Makaelynn Update

2008-04-17T07:19:00.000-07:00

I just wanted to post an update on Makaelynn. She is now 5 days old and she is doing pretty good. Her bilirubin is too high so they have her under the lights 24 hrs a day and it is going down so that is a relief. We were hoping she would be coming home this weekend but it is starting to look like next week which is fine as long as she is doing good. Its been hard because they wont let me drive for 2 weeks so I have to wait until someone can take me up to the hospital so I try to stay as long as possible because she is changing so much already its crazy! Dale is having a hard time trying to figure out what is going on but loves to see pictures of this baby girl he calls (sissy) my parents have been great to let him stay with them and they are taking him to St. George today for Courtney's spring break and they will be there until Sunday so its nice to know that he is taken care of! I just wanted to thank everyone for all their thoughts and prayers you will never know how much we appreciate them! We love all of you!
John, Whit, Dale and Makaelynn

Makaelynn Lindsay Hennen

2008-04-13T17:34:00.000-07:00

Makaelynn Lindsay Hennen

Born: April 12, 2008

Time: 1:05 pm

Weight: 4 lbs 6 oz

Length: 16 inches

Well our daughter is here almost 6 weeks too soon! I came in for a routine NST Saturday morning and they had just put me on the monitor and all the sudden the nurse ran out and came back with like 6 more nurses and the anthesiaologist. One minute I was dressed the next I wasn't and getting a IV and signing consent forms for a C-Section. I guess her heart rate went from 143 to 60 in like 2 secs. It was crazy! They took me into the operating room at 12:28 and she was here at 1:05 weighing in at only 4 lbs 6 oz and 16 inches long. She had only gained 6 oz in 2 1/2 weeks so it was a good thing they took her! I guess the cord was around her neck thats the only thing my dr could figure for the drop. I got to see her for a sec then they took her downstairs to work her over and they found out what the mass in her cord was- it was part of her intestines so while i was in recovery they were working on transport to Primary Childrens and they were here within and hour and a half. I got to see her for about 15 minutes before they took her, it was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life to say goodbye to my sweet baby girl but her Daddy got to ride with her and has been with her ever since. She had surgery at about 10 pm last night to put the little bit of intestines back in her body and now she is doing great! They told my husband she should be home in about 7-10 days so hopefully! I will be discharged Tuesday morning and will be heading straight up there to be with my daughter. Thank you to all of you who have fasted and prayed we really appreciate all the support!

We love you,

John, Whit, Lil' Dale and Makaelynn

Pregnancy Update

2008-04-11T18:22:00.000-07:00

So today has been interesting! I spent half the day at the hospital on a monitor because Makaelynn is not cooperating. I have been having to do Non-stress test weekly and she does not do what she is suppose to do. And the last 2 days she hasn't been moving hardly at all so I totally freaked because when i was 20 weeks we had what I thought would be a normal ultrasound, but we found out she has a 2 vessel cord instead of a 3 vessel cord which can cause all sorts of health problems like- kidney problems (in some cases only 1) , heart problems, down syndrome and they don't get enough blood flow and nutrients as they would with 3 vessels so they don't grow at a good rate during the last trimester. Well I wasn't having any of those problems until a couple weeks ago and I went to my appointment today and I am 34 1/2 weeks and only measuring at 30 weeks so it goes to show she is not growing and during the stress test she just didn't do well so they did an ultrasound and monitored her for a half hour she moved maybe 2 times and she would not try to take a breath on her own so the Dr. I saw today talked with the other Dr and decided to send me to the hospital and start me on petocin and see how she tolerated my contractions. Apparently she handled them well cause they took me off and sent me home after 3 hours of contractions (its a good thing you forget what it really feels like!!!) And I have to go back tomorrow for a nst again so we will see if she doesn't do well they will take her. I just dont know what to think I am just frustrated and I am totally worried about my daughter and hope everything will work out for the best!

Yesterday was John and my 4 year anniversary. I cannot believe how fast time flies! Both John and I have not felt well this week so we just went to Sizzler for dinner. It was fun to get out just the two of us! For our anniversary John got me a new wedding ring, my one from before is a whole size too small since having Dale and being pregnant so he got it upgraded. (I will post pics later!) I am so grateful for the great Husband and father John is, he is such a hard worker! We love you babe!

My Favorite One!

A while ago my dad took us up by the high school and did our family pictures. I was so worried that none of them would turn and Dale wouldn't smile but he was smiling in all of them so it made it really hard to choose one! So I just posted a few of my favs.

We Are Having Another One!

2007-10-25T17:09:00.000-07:00

We just recently found out that we are having another baby. I had my first Dr's appointment today and got to hear the heartbeat. I was hoping that they would do an ultrasound but they only do if they cant hear the heartbeat so I am just grateful we got to hear that amazing sound! They estimate that my due date is May 21st so I have a while but I am sure it will go bye too fast! We are very excited! Love you all!

We all had so much fun on this trip to go see Grandma. Dale really enjoyed the Millard Football game Grandma took us to. He did not know quite what to think about Mommy holding baby Trinity but he did want to hold her. And Dale got to go see Grandpa Tony for the first time. That was really special for me since we named him after my dad and Grandpa! We just really had a good time!
