HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAYTON!

Yesterday was Paytons 3rd birthday! I cant believe how fast time has flown by! I think she had a great birthday! She woke up opened presents had pancakes in Mommys bed, went to dance class where they sang to her and she loved it! Then we took her to the zoo got slurpess swam and had a blast! Payton is Mommy's little buddy and certainly a DADDYS girl! We love her little personality and watching her learn and do new things! She told everyone that she was 8 yesterday and sometimes I think she is! WE LOVE YOU DIDDY!!!!!!!! She cant wait for her party... more pics to come:)

Big Girl Seat and smiles!

Its hard to catch a smile on camera yet so this was a fun surprise!

Payton is now in her BIG GIRL Seat! I cant believe she is this big. I feel like she has gone through so many changes lately! I cant stand it!!!!! I wish i could keep her little forever :)

Sucker punch!

Kennedys BFF Dakota was blessed last sunday and we had a chance to hang out after and let the girls play. Lindsey has 2 older girls that Payton can play with and Dakota is 2 weeks older than Kennedy. Dakota kept trying to get Kennedy and this picture says it all!

Our 4th of July!

We went camping over the 4th up at Daniels Summit and we had a blast! We hung out played games went on some wheeling rides and just enjoyed being together with family! Payton found a "grumpy old troll bridge" and we pretended he lived there! We love camping! Payton loves that she gets dirty and I dont care:) Kennedy does awesome and that makes life much easier

1st Haircut!

So here we are Payton is almost 3 and this is her first haircut! And its not even really a cut... but a trim. She loves her long hair and has just barely said it was ok to do a trim! Everytime i would ask her she would freak out and say no!

So i think that it turned out ok i just evened it out and gave her some bangs like mommy. And if i dont like them i can spray them back!

2 months already!

Here is the 2 month picture of Kennedy and her teddy! She has grown alot since she was born. At her check-up she was 8 lbs 10oz and 20 1/4 inches. Not quite off the charts :)....not even on them actually! But she is doing amazing considering she started out at 5!

She has now officially graduated out of newborn diapers and is in size 1 and newborn clothes...some 0-3 months but not many.

Smores Please!

Last friday night we roasted some smores in our backyard with our new fire pit. It was a lot of fun until the rain decided to join us! Which really is ok unless the thunder and lightening crash the party!

Camping

We had the chance to go camping last weekend and it was a blast! A little windy but we bundled up and had a great time up at Strawberry. This was the first time taking Kennedy out and she did great. We cant wait to start the season!

Our little burrito baby!

Playing some softball with the cousins.

So cute!

Ready to play!

Cheese-ball

Just for fun!

We decided to go up the canyon and take some pictures of the girls one of the really warm days last week. They turned out pretty cute. I love these girls!

One Month!

Here is the 1 month shot of Kennedy with her bear!

Happy Bday Steve!

Today is my brothers Birthday and I just wanted to say a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He lives in Arizona so we dont get to see him that much. We Love you and hope you had a fun day!!! (thanks for the pic Allison :) )

Mothers Day

Well I had an awesome Mothers Day! Breakfast in bed.. the works. But most of all time with my girls and wonderful husband! Kennedy was supposed to be born on friday and that is a weird thought. We are so lucky to have a healthy baby!

I love being a mom!! its the hardest,best, and most rewarding job I have ever had! We are so lucky to have wonderful moms ourselves and are so thankful for all of their love and support!! HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

BFF's

My friend Lindsey and I have been friends since we were 10 years old and it just so happens that we both had girls 2 weeks apart! Granted Kennedy was a month early. This is Kennedy(in green & pink) & Dakota(flowers)! They were hilarious, we put them down and they both stayed just like this! This is a premie outfit on Kennedy and it is still huge!

One week old

I have seen this on a few blogs and thought it was cute so i am going to try it out! Here is Kennedy at one week... about the same size as the bear! She is so tiny!

This And That!

Here is a little of this and that from our first week home! We have totally enjoyed having kennedy aroumd and now that she is here we cant imagine it differently! I must admit ( being the personality that i am) that having a baby a month early without any notice was totally stressful and more than that scary. Luckily everything turned out perfectly and we are blessed! I have the most amazing family and friends. Everyone was so helpful and willing to do whatever was needed at the drop of a hat. A special thank you to Tammi and Troy and Wes and Gloria for taking Payton each day and making her feel special! We love you all!

What happens when mom has to stay in bed.. she dresses herself and feeds herself!

My girls in the morning!

Loves the swing!

Ready to come home, but barely fits in the seat!

Last day in the hospital.

5 YEARS

We have been together for almost 9 years, but he can still make me feel like we just started dating! He is my best friend and I am so lucky to be married to him. Our lives have changed alot in 5 years... we have been alot of places together seen alot of things, but most of all we have 2 beautiful little girls that we cant imagine our lives without!
