Ultrasound Pictures

This is her nose and lips. The small arrow is pointing right at her lips and the nostrils are to the left of that.

This is a better picture. You can totally see her lips and there is a dimple in her chin. Turn your head to the left....and you can see a lip pattern and then below that (if your head is still turned to the left) is the dimple.

This is her face in 4D. You can see her nose, eyes and mouth. Her nose looks funny because her face is squished against me.

This is her profile. Her face is at the top of the picture and the back of her head is at the bottom.

These are her feet. At least you can see that one of her feet has 5 toes :)

This is the picture they printed of her being a girl! To left is her bum and then her legs are sticking out. The arrow is pointing to her girl parts!

Well...almost exactly 3 years ago...we went to Dr. Stanley's office for Makenna's ultrasound. I was super super shocked when he told me it was a girl....I cried. I had the tech check twice and then I made the Dr. check as well. haha. Well this time....I was a little indifferent going into the ultrasound. I felt that it was going to be a girl...but also wanted it to be a boy. The tech asked us if we wanted to know. Then the words, "It's a girl!" came out. I was like, "really?" I am not upset at all. Didn't cry this time either. But I am still in a bit of shock. It will just be weird to have 2 girls. I grew up with all brothers until I was 10 years old and then Christy came along. I hope Makenna and her sister can become close and be best friends. Tyler and I are both super excited. The Dr. said everything looks great with the baby. I have 4.5 months to get her turned upside down :) right now her head is up by my belly button and her bottom is below. She does have a larger head. We heard her heart beat and saw her heart. Her kidneys look great, she has a nice long spine, has 2 arms ... haha tyler...and 2 legs. We couldn't be happier!!

Drum Roll Please.....

So... Many of you thought we were having a BOY and you were wrong! The Larsen family is adding another GIRL to the family tree. We are excited.

Pictures will be coming soon!

Popsicles!

Three of the things Kenna likes most...swimming (swimsuits), riding her bike and popsicles. haha...got all of them in one picture!!

Pink Nails!!!

Hands

Toes...poor kid has her daddy's feet!

Like Mother, Like Daughter

I have wanted to do something with just Kenna and I. Something fun. So today while at Wal-Mart, I bought some pink sparkle nail polish and Kenna and I came home and painted nails. It was a little difficult since she is only 2 1/2 ... trying to get her to stay completely still. But she was so excited to have pink nails. She kept saying, "daddy...mommy is making me pretty!" Makenna wanted me to be pretty too so she had me paint my nails!

Kenna New Swimsuit!

Look at the princess!

Floaties, Goggles and a princess swimsuit

Look at my ruffles!

Today we got an unexpected package. Inside was 2 cans of yummy cupcake mix and a package for Makenna. It was a new swimsuit with a swimsuit cover. My Aunt Sally sent it to us. The minute Makenna saw it she was so excited and had to put it on. She grabbed her floaties and goggles too. Thanks Aunt Sally!!!!

For the 4th of July my family went to Utah. My sister, mom, aunt and 2 cousins got to go to the Stadium of Fire where Hannah Montana preformed. They also hiked up the mountain to the big "Y" in Provo. This is a picture of them on the Y.

For the 4th of July weekend we were able to go up to Tyler's parents lake house. It was so nice. They just re-modeled it and it looks so good. We were able to take our friends Corey and Ciara and Tyler's buddy from St. George, Moki and his son Tyler. Kimber also brought 3 of her friends, Lydia, Peter and Cody. Tyler, Corey and Ciara all wakeboarded. Ciara ventured out on the tube. Everyone went cliff jumping. Makenna loved being on the boat. She loved swimming in the water and she even jumped off a few small cliffs.

Aunt Ber!

Tyler's sister Kimber came over one day to watch Makenna because Ty had to leave for school and I didn't get off work until 5pm. She took these pictures while she was over.

Whiny Baby!

OMG...I don't like this fear thing at all. I know I am terrified of everything, but I didn't think that would happen to Kenna too. When we were in CA we found out that she is afraid of ants and flies. At first it was funny to see her scream and run, but now it's a little ridiculous. For the past 2 days we have had an annoying fly in our house and I can't seem to kill him...I have bad aim. Makenna screams horribly loud and starts crying and jumps on my lap when she sees it.

Also...today we took her to go see Wall-E. It wasn't a scary movie but she was scared most of the time. She had to sit on Tyler's lap or my lap. I have no idea what started this stuff!

Count Your Blessings!

Over the past few weeks, I have had a lot of friends that have had serious trials in their lives. We all hear about things happening on the news, but when it happens to someone you know...it hits a lot closer to home. I thank Heavenly Father everyday for the blessings that I have in my life. I know we will all face trials (big and small) and I hope that when my big trials come... I will be able to be as strong as my friends around me. Remember to count your blessings everyday!
