On aug 7, 2005 Adyson Rose Kandell was given a father’s blessing in church by Eric of course. It was a wonderful blessing and a great day. After church Adyson and all her friends and family came over to our house to celebrate her big day. You can see some pictures of this day in our gallery!
Hailey and I are so happy to have a healthy and fun baby like Ady, but we are so nervous that she is growing up so fast. She is starting to show her personality and is even looking older each day. As a matter of fact, Adyson smiled for the first time at Hailey today! (8-14-05)
As you can tell from her photos in the gallery, she seems to be getting redder hair each day. Hailey is a bit nervous, but I told her that all red heads are perfect!
We look forward to getting emails from all of you so feel free to drop us a note whenever.
LOVE THE KANDELL FAMILY.

Adyson is Born!
Adyson Rose Kandell, Born July 7, 2005 at 7:22 am. She weighs 8lbs and 6oz and is 19.5 inches long! Oh and We LOVE HER!
Make sure to go look at her newest pictures in our gallery! If you use the slideshow function it goes through all the pictures much quicker!
Well where do I start? My admiration for Hailey just went straight through the roof. Nothing could have prepared me for such a long and intense night! I don’t want to focus on the hard and difficult part, but man oh man did Hailey work so hard!
I recieved a phone call at work on 7-6-05 around noon saying I better hurry up and get to the hospital because the Dr. wanted to induce Hailey. We were so excited! Well we both new it was going to be a long haul but hey it felt like Christmas Eve. Well by about midnight or so things were starting to get interesting. Hailey was dialated but not real far, the labor pains were getting more intense but she was doing pretty good. Sometime about then, (bear with me, I haven’t slept still and everything kinda blurred together at some point) Hailey recieved her 1st epideral. Yes I said FIRST! To make a long story short, basically Hailey delivered Adyson as close to NATURAL as you can. Her body would not take the epideral and the pains were so intense at times that I almost couldn’t bare it. Hailey worked through it though and once she was fully dialated it took about an hour or so of pushing and then the ABSOLUTE MOST WONDERFUL FEELING I can explain happened! Adyson was born and…….
Honestly how do you explain that? You have to be a parent to understand but it was something that I have never felt before, excited, relieved, scared, happy, inadequate, pride all at once. All I know is ADYSON is beautiful! She has large cheeks and her eyes are huge and so loving! She is BIG! You should see the baby fat rolls on her thighs!
Well we can’t wait to get MOMMY and Adyson home as soon as possible. Trust us, this site will now officially be the site of daily Adyson pictures so look at it often.
Thanks to all who supported us throughout these last 9 months! It has all been worth it!

Daughter is Coming in July
Can You Believe Our Daughter Will be Here JULY?
Make sure you check her out in our gallery whenever you would like.
It is amazing for us to see how much Hailey has changed in the past 7 1/2 months! It is an absloute miracle to see how her body adapts to our growing daughter. I know she will be the best MOM our daughter could get. Make sure to check out the pictures of Adyson’s (that is what we are naming our baby) nursery in our gallery.
We cannot wait to be parents. We had a wonderful Memorial Day BBQ at our house on monday and once again Eric and Chris Walker went undefeated in the annual badminton competition. Just ask Hailey how cute Eric is when he plays badminton. Well just in case you are wondering Adyson’s due date is July 9th and Hailey and I are both hoping maybe she will come a bit early. We have chosen to name her Adyson Rose Kandell. Rose is in memory of Jim Kandell’s (Eric’s dad) mother Rose Mary Kandell. We have added some new pictures to our gallery so go look at those if you haven’t already.
One last piece of information, Jim and Sue Kandell have gone in with Eric and Hailey and are buying a vacation/retirement home in SUNNY ST GEORGE UTAH. No Eric is not retiring for another few years but Jim and Sue are about ready. This is going to be awesome. Jim and Sue hope to come out here in the cooler winter months and spend time with their grandchildren and enjoy the weather. Hailey and Eric are excited to have the home for a place to go and relax when they just need to get away from the fast paced life in Happy Valley Provo, Utah!
We hope you enjoy this site.
