Happy Engagement To You..........

Yesterday we threw an engagement party for our friends Shannon and Scott. We had so much fun getting together and having a picnic,playing volleyball, and celebrating such a fun event in their lives. All five of us girls have grown up together and have been best friends ever scince we were very little girls. We were attatched at the hip and did some of the funnest and corniest things growing up,but no matter what we did if it was playing in the pool all summer, having our own ghost writer club(I know one of the things that was beyond corney), playing night games, having mud fights, or having sleep overs we had the funnest and most MEMORABLE childhood. But one thing we always said was that when we got married and had children of our own we were still going to be the best of friends, and it turns out we still are. We all got really lucky to marry such wonderful husbands who get along so well and who became really good friends with eachother too. Thanks guys for being such great friends, and CONGRATS Shannon and Scott we couldn't be more happy for the both of you:)

Cute random pics........

I am a total picture taking freak sometimes(who am I kidding sometimes, all the time).....My camera is always attatched to my hip waiting for that cute picture I just can't resist taking. I am always catching our baby girl doing something that makes me laugh, and always asking our friends and family if they can take pictures of the three of us. You can NEVER have too many pictures. Hope everyone enjoys:)

She absolutely loves to hold and chew on
her bunny blanket(maybe it's a comfort thing)

The 24th of July parade..........

We had such a ball at the Ogden Pioneer Days parade with our really good friends Jasen and Danielle. It was very HOT and the sun was shining right on us so I tried to keep Kennley in the shade the whole time, so she didn't get to see the cute little floats, and all the horses they had(she probably wouldn't have cared this year.) My little 2 1/2 year old nephew really loved seeing all the horses and the tractors they had and kept saying "come on apples lets go follow them", so I had to keep him occupied some othe way and that was by buying otter pops for 50 cents each, WOW they made a killing. I think next year that's going to be my little gig J/K. Well all in all we had a really good time at the parade. We love you guys.....



We sure had FUN together


Mommy loves her baby girl!!!!!

A Day At SURF AND SWIM

The other day a group of our friends went to Layton Surf-n-Swim and took the kids. The guys went swimming and had a blast(they are just like little kids sometimes) and the girls stayed with the babies. Kennley and Talen are a month apart so Danielle, and I had a mommy play date and waded in the shallow end envious of everyone playing in the water. I loved dipping Kennley's little feet in the water and watching her kick and splash, and the whole time she had a smile on her face. Thanks guys for such a fun day!!!!!

Remembering Friends

I'm still a rookie at this blog thing, but I'm getting new ideas
that look like so much fun!!!!

Directions

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments

Our fun 4th!!!!!!

For the fourth we had a BBQ at my parents house and had lots of yummy food!! After we wents to the Clearfield park and watched the fireworks with some friends, and we had a lot of fun. I think once the fireworks started Kennley really enjoyed watching all the bright colors. I really enjoy the different holidays when you can spend time with your family and friends.


Look at those cheeks:)


This was my latest purchase at
Babies R Us. It keeps all the
bugs and mosquitos out. I would
reccomend it to anyone with babies.

Kennley's Baby Blessing

Today was such a wonderful day because we blessed our baby girl!!!! The day started out a little rough though. Saturday night I made sure to set the alarm for 6:30 a.m. so that I could get up and nurse Kennley and then get ready for church at 9 o'clock. Kennley woke up at 5:30 so I nursed her and we both fell back to sleep, and at 6:30 the alarm went off and I hit the snooze. I got up in a panic and started to get ready thinking that I had just enough time to get ready and feed Kennley one more time before the blessing so that she would be content. But would you believe that at 7:45 my blowdryer blew up and I still had a head of wet hair with and hour to go until we had to walk out the door. I ran into the bedroon in a panic and made Brent run to Wal-mart and buy me a new one(I love having a Wal-mart right by our house.) So needless to say my whole plan did not work cause by the time he got back from the store I had just enough time to get ready and get Kennley dressed. She looked so beautiful!!!! Luckily I had some milk frozen so we just took it with us. We walked in right at the nick of time. We sat down and hurried to get her bib on and feed her, but she would not take the bottle. Finally she started eating when they said they were ready to do the blessing, and my first thought was oh no she just ate and did not burp.......Those poor guys are going to get spit up on. But she did great even with a half full stomach she was so peaceful for the blessing(I think she knew her daddy was nervous and she didn't want to make him more nervous) Brent said such a beautiful blessing that came right from his heart, and it couldn't have been any better. Afterwards we had our family and friends over for breakfast. It was so good to get everyone together for such a special day in our lives. We are so blessed to have our little angel in our family. We love her so much and wonder how we got so lucky to have such a precious baby girl who we adore.







I knew when I saw this dress she would look beautiful in it!!!!!!
