Baby, Baby OH Baby!!

Last Sunday the family gathered over at Kim and Bens for my birthday dinner, little did I know I was going to get the best birthday present ever! When we walked thru the front door there was a Surprise Banner and underneath it was a POSITIVE pregnacy test that was blown up with the word " Were pregnant" unerneath the banner and then 4 little ultra sound pictures.. Well you can imagine my surprise and and I just started yelling and screaming. We are sooo happy for Kim and Ben.. and then Steph and Brett arrive and after the shock settled down, Melanie mentioned how wonderful it would be if Steph was pregnant too... there stood Steph with her arms folded and a BIG smile on her face and she too is pregnant... this means all 3 of my daughters are PREGNANT and all due the same TIME! How wonderful is that? I could not be a happier mom!

"New" and "First"

Well the new year is starting out pretty exciting for the Cunningham family, there are some exciting "new" things going on and some "first" so lets take a look...

Melanie is going to have a "new " baby and it will be her and Ashley's "first" baby together. Here she is at her "first" Ultra sound appt showing off her little baby bump.

I got a "New" job at Kootenai Outpatient Imaging, I love my new job, the girls I work with are wonderful and after being there for a week, I am pretty much signing patients in by myself. Everyone is so nice and have made me feel very welcome. Below is my badge .

I got my pictures out of order...Kylah gave her "first" talk in Primary on Sunday.

Kim and Ben bought their "first" home which is also brand "new". Here is kim standing in her "New" kitchen.

2010 in Review

This past year has been a great year, we have had joy, sorrow, a lot of fun family activities. Logan got to go to Alaska (no pics for that trip), Kim and Ben bought a new house, Melanie, Ash, Maddy and Kylah moved back to Idaho from Hawaii, Steph got a job teaching Kindergarten, Whitney moved out and is going to school In Moscow ID, Teri got a new job and George took over another lab in Spokane. We are excited to see what 2011 brings to us.

In January it was mine and my Brother Ken's birthdays.

In February The Bennett family moved back to Id from Hawaii
In March Steph's friends thru her a surprise "Princess Party" for her birthday
In April me and the girls spent Easter with Kim when she lived in Wenatchee and I was also able to buy a new camera, a Nikon D 5000 which I had saved up for. May was a month of sadness and happiness.. the family all gathered together to be with Steph and Brett as they welcomed a sweet baby girl who came to this earth for a body and then returned to be with her Heavenly Father, this was a sweet and tender day for the whole family. Mother's day also was celebrated for us moms.. it was a difficult day for Steph but she was amazing and got thru it with the love and support from her family. I adore my family, I have been blessed to be thier mom.
In June Logan graduated from High School.
In July we celebrated our Country's birthday, I completely refinished a baby grand piano and Steph and I spent 4 glorious days in Leavenworth WA with Maddy , Makenna and Kyra
IN August we went on a Family camp out and Maddy turned 10 September Maddy entered the 5th grade, Kylah in the 2nd grade, and Logan and Melanie had birthdays
I totally forgot to upload October..we had a really fun month, fall was gorgeous, we went to a church Halloween party, we also went up to Scarywood which was freezing but fun, and then me and my sister and my girls went to a haunted house here in town called House of Horrors which was really fun... SOOO IN November, Kim and Ben bought a house here in CD'A, Kylah turned 8 and we had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Melanies house. George , Logan and I also drove down to Calif for a memorial for his mother who passed away in Oct.
In December George and I had our 32nd wedding anniversary.
And we celebrated a joyous Christmas Season with friends and family.
So all in all this has been a great year, I think the thing I loved the most was that I had the whole year off from work, I babysat Maddy and Ky and one other little girl during the summer and we had so much fun, I really enjoyed staying home but now I have a new adventure in my life with a new job at Kootenai outpatient Imaging. I look forward to this new job and new experiences.
