We got a new float today! Here we are trying it out in the living room... we'll have to repost again when we actually try it out and do more than set at the edge of the pool.

Monday, May 26th - Memorial Day 2008. Jon Phillip and Amy played in a Scramble Golf Tournament in Carthage with Phil and Wayne Kemp and Scotlyn stayed with "Ma" (Pam Kemp). Her she is in her patriotic outfit!

Saturday, May 24th - KY lake - we took a pontoon boat ride to see the lighted boat parade

Friday, May 23rd - Mom's 60th Birthday Suprise Party - Ky Dam Marina. Dad planned a suprise birthday party for mom's 60th. Here she is with Alex and Luke, her two Grandsons.

May 21st, 2008 - Scotlyn is just crazy about Adler. Adler is a black toy poodle and belongs to Margaret, Kyle's girlfriend. Scotlyn Laughed out loud for the 1st time tonight when we got home!

Saturday, May 10th, 2008 - Steeplechase 2008

Once again... good time had by all at Steeplechase. We always are able to attend with the hospitality of our dear friends, Kendall and Travis Womble (shown here in the pic). Jon Phillip and I had a ball and this year was special since it was Kendalls "big outting" before her double masectomy next friday! It was my first outing since Scotlyn was born. Her Granna - Marsha - kept her while we went and she sent us picture text messages about every 30 minutes to keep us updated!

May 8th, 2008 - We joke all the time about Scotlyn walking and she is definitely loving standing up (with someone to balance her of course!) She is sooo funny! She'll start stomping her right foot then flapping her arms and bobbing her head like she's a little bird getting ready to take off! She is growing up toooooo fast!

Had Lunch with Nana, Papa and Auntie J at Chef's Market

May 1st, 2008 - Thursday- We hit the pool this morning after breakfast. We are on Singer Island (Palm Beach area of Florida). It is 82 degrees and Miss Scotlyn is sporting her first bathing suit that her great grandmother gave her (in the shade of course!). Not too shabby for a 7 week old baby!

Wednesday, April 30th, 2008 - Jon Phillip, Scotlyn and I are headed to West Palm Beach - Singer Island for a short little get-a-way in the sun! The weather is going to be perfect. A nice man on the plane going down there, took our family picture. Scotlyn was sooooo good on the plane (don't know why we're suprised!)

Monday, April 28th. I went for my "after baby is born" Dr's appointment today and got a great report! My Dr. (Dr. Cain-Swope) took time to visit with Scotlyn

as well as our Nurse, Temeka, who was too busy to stop and take a picture.

The entire Leeper clan that was in attendance for Stacey's wedding

4/26/08 - Stacey's Wedding - My cousin, Stacey, got married today on her parents farm in Soddy Daisy, TN. It was so beautiful and everything was perfect. Scotlyn's first wedding! she loved it and was soooo good (as usual) My parents were there (seen here holding her) and the other picture is of my cousins, Andrea and Carrie's, girl (neices of the bride too). Lauren is holding her and miss Abby is seated beside her. They were both just crazy about Miss Scotlyn.

Saturday 4/26/08 - Scotlyn's Tree We planted a new tree today in our yard in honor of our new daughter - Scotlyn Elizabeth Kemp. We added a Red Dogwood which has always been a personal favorite of mine so I'm so excited to have one at our home. We put it just outside the window so we can see it and I plan on making a larger bed around it and adding a bench/sitting area in the future.

4/24/08 Scotlyn's new best friends!!!
My dear friends, Terra and Heather and their two oldest children brought us dinner and came to visit us last night (GIRLS ONLY!) we had so much fun!!! Oh, and I now have a new crowd pleasing recipe to take to gatherings... Heather made this FAB-U-LOUS apple dip that I will be recreating in the near future! Here are our girls in the picture - Rylee and Julia are both 3 (soon to be 4) and Scotlyn is 6 weeks!

Her first Photo Shoot!!! It wasn't a good day for Scotlyn - emotionally she was a little fussy - but as you can see, Ms. Shannon did a great job!

Scotlyn's 1st Easter
We went to see the Easter Bunny (early at the Club-we had the first "setting" to beat all the snotty kids before they contaminated the Easter Bunny!) We went to church (just ran in, took our seats and got out fast at the end of the service, so not to have any hands on me) We got an Easter basket from Nana & Papa, Poppy and Ma (with a big stuffed bunny and a pink patend leather purse!) and Aunti Boo, Uncle Kyle & Adler!

She is now 9 days old and so precious! Sleeping a night only waking once to eat! We went to the Dr. today for her 1st visit and she now weight 6lbs 13oz (her Daddy says she eats like he does!) Dr. Hudson said she is perfect and we have a sweet little girl (tell us something we don't know!.... HA)
We have no idea what we did without her! we cannot get enough kisses!!! I call her cheeks "sugar bowls" and I try to empty them by stealing "sugar" but they simply cannot be emptied (yet I won't stop trying!)

3/10/08 And then there were three...

Monday, March 10th at 7:53 a.m., God blessed Jon Phillip and I with a healthy precious bundle of joy and we named her Scotlyn Elizabeth Kemp. She weighs 6 lbs 1oz and is 20 inches long (they said we should remeasure her after her little cone-head goes down). Scotlyn came out wide eyed and very alert and hardly cried at all. Mommy, Daddy and baby Kemp are doing great and are expected to go home Wednesday, March 12th.

3/10/08 for the LOVE of anesthesia...

let me just say, when you start labor at home from a dead sleep at 12:27 a.m., get to the hosptial -while yelling for your husband to drive faster than 4 mph over the speed limit- at 2:25 a.m. and when you tell a triage nurse it's your first, labor started 2 hours ago and you are about to have it and they just look at you and smile and say 'ok, -'smirk'- I'll check you -'smirk'-' and the next thing she does is stick her head out the door yelling 'get me a room, a dr., and anesthesia - she's a 7-8!', they wheel me down to labor and delivery, tell me I am now, 4-6 minutes later, 9 1/2 cm dialated, I'm begging for an epidural - the nurse grabs me and says ' AMY - if you can promise to sit still we can still do this!' let me tell you JOYCE, the anesthesiologist (who tried 5 times before it got in the right place) was my best friend almost immediately! anyway relaxed and slowed a little, (only to wait so her grandparents to get there of course, we pushed for 53 minutes and our little princess came out sunny side (face) up. (another main reason they said I slowed down so much)
