Happy Birthday Baby!!!

Our sweet princess turned 1 on Feb 12. We had a little party with the Stewarts, it was great. There happened to be a huge snow storm on that day, so we were the only ones there, but it was still great, and the kids loved it. We are so grateful to have our baby in our lives. We feel like the luckiest people ever to have such a sweet girl. She is growing like crazy, still loves attention and talking on the phone. She is starting to walk, and getting braver in her adventures. This year has flown by and been great, I'm excited to see what this next year brings!

She loved her cake!!

It was all over the place!

Our only family picture from the day, I know it stinks, but at this moment she rubbed her eyes and got cake everywhere and started screaming. So this one will have to do.
She got some early presents from Grandma and Grandpa, she loved getting into the box and seeing what it was.

I made mini cakes for Kendall and Cohen, and cupcakes for everyone else.


HAPPY 1st BIRTHDAY BABY KENDALL!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Family Pictures

So while Lindsey was here I made her take some family pictures for us, especially since Kendall turned 1 I figured we should probably document our lives. There are so many great one, I'm still deciding which ones to blow up for the house. But here are just a few of the many for all to see. Lindsey is the best photographer, we're so lucky to have her!!

Yeah for BFFs

First of all, I finally found my camera cord. Yeah, turns out Lance was cleaning and hid it. So now I have a lot of catching up to do. So a while ago, I had a free weekend from softball for I tricked my bestest buddy to come out and visit me. It was so fun to have her come for the weekend, I forgot how much we laugh when we're together. Poor Lance, he is a good husband for putting up with me :) So while Lindsey was here Lance surprised us and took us to a cabin he rented up in Gaitlinburg. It was awesome, so beautiful and so nice to just relax and eat lots of cookies. We convinced Jeff and Lynn to come too, so it turned into quite the party. However, we were quickly reminded that we are no longer in high school when Kendall started throwing up. We always like to keep things exciting. But although we had a sick baby, it was so great to hang out with good friends.

We had to be creative with Kendall's sleeping arrangements, p.s. hot tubs work great :)

Finally

I lost the cord for our camera, so we haven't been able to download a bunch of pictures we have from the past little while. But we have been busier than ever, and enjoying pretty much all of it. Kendall turned 1 about a month ago (i'll put pictures up when i can). But she is so much fun and starting to be quite sassy ( I think she gets it from her father), she's taking a few steps but not walking quite yet. And she and Ace are becoming good friends. She loves riding on the bus and going on softball trips. She LOVES all the attention she gets when she's around the team. Lance is doing great at his job, just super busy. I'm so proud of him. I'm just in the thick of our softball season, we just got back from california. The weather is finally starting to warm up, so it makes my job that much better. We have decided to run the provo canyon marathon in June in Utah. We are excited to run another one, and would love everyone to join us :) Hopefully i'll be able to put up some good pictures here soon. But here's 1 just so you remember what we look like!

Merry Christmas!!

So I know it's a little late, but time has been going too fast and we have been enjoying our break far too much. Merry Christmas, hope yours has been as wonderful as ours. Here are some pictures from the holidays around our house. It was too fun having a nearly one year old to celebrate with this year, of course she still woke up and 6:30 like every other day so we had our presents opened by 7:30 and were all taking naps by 9, it was a great day...
