Congrats Wigginton family, thank you for once again making me a VERY happy Aunt!

Why?

Do you ever ask the question, why, and realize that 99.9% of the time you don't really get the answer? Well this seems to be one of those years....WHY why why?

Logan and I once again are going through a miscarriage. We were 7 weeks along and REALLY excited. It had been almost three months after our last miscarriage when we found out the wonderful news. I actually didn't feel nervous at all with this one....PROBABLY because I thought there was no way I would go through another. After our last miscarriage I remember telling Logan that I felt so bad for those poor women who have to go through more than one miscarriage and that it would literally kill me if I had to go through another. But here I am, still very alive and VERY aware of the pain that I feel.

I don't know what I would do without Logan. Throughout the contractions at all hours of the night, he sat with me, rubbed my back and continued to tell me how much he loved me. For those of you that have experienced this, you know, that through this you feel angry, heart sick, and very guilty that you did something wrong. But Logan continues to try and lift both of our spirits. Unfortunately this all happened on his birthday, but instead of complaining (like I do) he stood by me and just let me cry.

I don't know if I will ever receive the answers to all my "why" moments... but I just hope we have good news to come, and other children who want to make it into our home.

Until then, we will continue to snuggle our sweet Kai and thank him for making the hard journey to join our family. We love him so much and want to give him the life/family he deserves!

Your Prayers are REALLY needed and REALLY appreciated!

I LOVE SUMMER!!

I use the word summer VERY loosely here in Idaho...one moment its BURNING HOT and the next its STORMING! So when the weather is nice we really try to take advantage of it. We are loving our little yard because we pretty much spend all of our time swimming, blowing bubbles and going on walks! I LOVE IT!

And I am not the only one...KAI IS OBSESSED! He loves to splash, run and of course...eat dirt!

Happy SUMMER to you all!

What a GREAT job!!

I can't even tell you how much I LOVE being a Mom! I don't think I would have appreciated being a stay at home Mom if I wouldn't have had to leave my baby at home for 9 LONG months! I LOVE being home, I LOVE teaching Kai new things and I LOVE also being a business women as I manage these apartments. I feel SO blessed to have my sweet baby, HOT husband and a secure home to live in!

I know its only Tuesday but I feel like I have a lot to share~

Kai now knows how to take off his diaper...do you see that mischievous face? oh my! Kai has been learning so many new things! He now says: Dadda, Mom, ball, cheese, outside (said ousssssd) and of course hi. He signs: more, please, thank you, eat, hi, bye, ball, and book.

We visited our local park and it has a ton of fun things to do. We went on the carousel twice because Kai started screaming as soon as he got off. Where did he get his attitude from? NOT FROM ME :)

We have a little water boy, he has to be pulled out at the end of our trips!

OUR NEW PLACE! Its funny how home changes so easily as long as you have the ones you love! We love it here!

Downstairs Family room

Stairs (obviously)

Upstairs Living room

Kitchen (upstairs)

Kai's room (upstairs)

Outside patio/lawn

And my favorite part of the whole place...KAI! LOVE THIS BOY!

I didn't take pics of our upstairs or downstairs bathroom, cause there is NOTHING special about a toilet, sink and bath....and our room is not pictured because its laundry day, and my room is a mess!

WE MOVED!!!

After three weeks of interviews (for the same place) we finally got the Apartment Manager job we were wanting. We found out Thursday and were all moved in by Saturday. I can't even tell you how excited we are to be here and to have this blessing in our lives. The apartment is awesome too...it feels more like a home although the size is not much different from our other apartment. So this is life for now, finally setting down!

Thankfully we have Aunt "Immee" in town and she took Kai so that we could move quicker, we love her so much and Kai is pretty much obsessed. She didn't only watch him but she brought him to the park and they got snow cones.

Thank so much Kim, Kai had a blast!

BIRTHDAY FUN!

This weekend we made a LAST minute decision to go down to Cali for the three day weekend to play with family for Kai's birthday. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

Logan had free points for Hotels so we decided to stop in Reno and the hotel was BEAUTIFUL. We honestly felt way out of place because we stayed in the best room there was...SO FUN!

We had Kai's party at Lew Howard Park in folsom, which was also the place Logan had his first birthday...it couldn't have been better! And let me just give a shout out to my sweet nephew Talmage...he was Kai's best friend the whole trip and is going to be such a good big brother in a month :)

Kai had a blast...give him a park and he's happy!

I decided to try and attempt to make Kai's birthday cake...and I was really glad it turned out...if you can't tell its a monkey! Thanks Mom for all of your help :)

We knew we would have NO problem with Kai eating his cake....holy crud, he LOVED it!

I had to take the cake away at the half way point because he WOULDN'T stop!

All weekend Kai had SO SO SO much fun with all the toys at Grandma and Grandpa Holtry's house!

We also stayed for memorial day on Monday and I have never appreciated Memorial Day so much....Thank you to all those who fight for our freedoms!

One of my favorite men in the world served our country in the Navy and I am so proud of him!

Uncle Chase and Kai spending some quality time together! We love you uncle Chase!

This was the sweetest moment ever, Kai fell in love with Grandpa Scott as soon as he put his hat on his head, and then the smiles began!

Kai is now back in Idaho and enjoying all the toys and clothes that everyone was so generous to give him! We unfortunately brought a California flu back with us, but we would do it ALL over again just to have a weekend like this!

His DR apt was today and here are his stats

20.1 lbs 12%

30.1 inch 90%'

He is just so so skinny but eats more than logan and I...I guess I will never know his secrets for keeping his figure!

Thank you again California family for sharing so many special memories with us! We love you all!
