Happy Birthday Clay Boy

Our little family was so excited when Clay was born. My mom was flying in to help that day. And while she was enroute I went to the hospital (unplanned) to have the baby! My friend, Ashley, picked up my Mom from the airport. We stayed in my favorite hospital room (so far!) in Greenbrae, California. It had a huge window in the room and it was just so green and beautiful outside! After they admitted me and given me my beloved epidural, they broke my water about an hour later. I was at a four. Within minutes I had really strong contractions and within 15 minutes I felt like I had to push. I told the nurse but since they had just checked me 15 minutes ago she kinda blew me off. I told her again a couple minutes later that I had the urge to push. She reluctantly checked me and looked suprised. The head was right there and I was at a 10. The Dr. came back in, I pushed 2 or 3 times and Clay Leon Kennedy was born. Oh man...love at first sight. He was so cute (they all are). Since my Mom was here for the week, Keith flew to Arizona two days after he was born to find a house for us, without me ever seeing it. Yes, it is the one we are living in now! We moved back to AZ a month after Clay was born. Clay was the best baby. He never cried. Kohl and Em were just so excited for him and are great examples to him. He was such a sweet toddler. Clay has now grown into a daredevil obsessed with sports!He is very thoughtful of his younger sisters. He has broken both of his arms. One was from falling off the trampoline and the other was from flying (yes he thought he might be able to fly) off the top bunk.
He has had the back of his head, glued together because of a gash he recieved by putting his bike on the trampoline that he had just learned how to ride.

He loves hanging out with Dad

He loves making funny faces for pictures!

We love you so much Clay!
How lucky to share your day with Aunt Beth and Uncle Clinton!
Happy Birthday You Three!
