HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENNEDY!!!!

Happy Birthday little Buggy!!!! I am so thankful for this little girl! She came into the world early wighing 5 lbs, but acted like she was a full-term baby! She is a fighter and her personality totally matches! She is such a joy to raise and watch learn new things. All day yesterday and this morning i was thinking back a year ago and everything that was happening. It is so kennedy to come on her own terms!~ she is a spitfire!
I cant believe she is the chunky monkey she is today starting out as such a little peanut! And now she is going to be a BIG sister! CRAZY!!!!

a month old
a day old

SO dang cute and tiny!

This is a premie diaper and it is HUGE!!

OUR BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!!

Kennedy is learning so many things. She is almost walking on her own. She will walk or push anything that will move. She loves the stairs because she has mastered them and thinks she is so big. She loves her sister and wants to be where ever she is! She can say Hi, Dada, Mom, Baba , and has the cheesiest grin ive ever seen!!

Paytons Dance Recital

Payton had her spring recital the other day and did such a great job! If you can dream was the song and it was "ariel" singing in her world!! :) I love watching Payton learn new things and love doing it! She is such a quick learner and we are so proud of her!

3 for 3!!

So as an Easter surprise we have some good news!........ We are expecting again!!!!! And yes it is another little girl :) Shocked ? well we were :) But we are totally thrilled and its going to be an adventure for sure! I might go a little crazy having 3 girls under the age of 4!!!

Payton was excited to have another sister and wasnt really wanting a little brother anyways! She is going to call her Sweetheart! Cutie!!!

So come September we will be a family of 5! We are of course shooting for the 15th and hoping that when all is said and done we have a full term happy and healthy Mom and BABY!!!!

At the Airport ready to come home to our GIRLS!!

So some of you know Justin has finished with his MBA! I am so proud of him. It is a huge accomplishment and i wanted to celebrate BIG! Plus it was time for our "couple" vacation! SO we decided that a cruise would be fun. We picked the Bahamas because we had always wanted to go there. 2 days after we booked and paid for everything we found out i was pregnant! It turned out ok though cause i would be 14 weeks and hopefully over the morning/all day sickness... and i was :)~

It was 5 days starting with a flight out of Salt Lake at 12:50am whick didnt leave till almost 2 am which made us miss our connecting flight to Miami. So we got on the next flight ony to get to Miami and have NO luggage! What a way to start it out! Luckily and somehow our luggage had made it onto our first flight! Go figure. So off to board the ship!

Justin being the AMAZING man he is surprised me with up grading to a suite which gave us VIP boarding! No lines for us! Straight to the boat and to our room:) LOVED IT! Our room was awesome! as big as a hotel room! with a shower/tub, mini bar, couch, balcony... wow it was "sweet" :)

We had 3 ports Grand Turks (a private Island) Half Moom Cay, and Nassau. Grand Turks we just looked at the shops.. what there was and laid by the beach. Half Moon Cay we were going to Parasail. There was only 1 spot left so Justin bought it and was on the boat ready to go when it caught on fire!!! No joke... so no parasailing for him :(. On Nassau we went over to the Atlantis resort and Swam with the Dolphins and hung out at the waterpark. It was SO windy that day. Atlantis was so cool. we were just going along the lazy river and ended up at some slides! It was so fun. The dolphins were amazing. We were able to hold on to a underwater scooter and swim beside them... well ok justin went under not me! As we were giving our dolphin some belly rubs she pooped on us! It was hilarious!
It was so relaxing taking naps, sleeping in, coming and going as we pleased, not having to cook any meals:) someone to clean your room, and just plain being with my best friend for 6 whole days!!!!! Justin and i take a trip just the 2 of us every few years and it is a great thing to do! Love you babe and thanks for this AWESOME trip!!

Thank you Grandma Gloria, Grandma Taylor, and Aunt Tammi for taking care of our girls! we REALLY appreciate it! They loved being with you and having sleepovers :)
