22 and counting

Last monday I turned 22.  I cant believe that I am 22 already.  I was totally spoiled on my birthday.  Eric had to work till 5 that night and so it was a relaxing day with just Kennedy and I.  As weird as it might sound it was nice just to have a nice relaxing day and not having to do anything.  When Eric came home he surprised me with Olive Garden for dinner and a night home with him and kennedy just hanging out as a family.  Eric gave me each of my gifts throughout the whole night instead of all at once.  I had no idea what I was getting and he had been building up the anticipation for the whole week before!  Like I said I was totally spoiled because I got an ipod nano and a wristband to go with it for when I start running again after im done nursing!  And then I also got an Iphone which i had been wanting forever!  I Loved my gifts!  Im so grateful for such an amazing, loving husband!

So here is the Family on my birthday.  Kennedy's blanket was more exciting then the camera!

Kennedy was such a jokester on my birthday! She was seriously cracking us both up all night!

And today Kennedy is 4 months old!  I really can't believe it!  It has gone by so fast and I can't believe how much she has grown in the past 4 months.  Everyday I swear she learns something new, I feel like I can't even blink or I will miss something.  We made a super quick video so you can see her at 4 months!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY

The 4th of July is definitely no doubt one of my favorite holidays!  I love everything about this holiday, it is always filled with so much fun, and has yet to let me down!  This year unfortunately I had to work that morning, well truth be told I decided to work this year, and since I missed the parade Eric made sure to take lots of pictures so I could pretend as if I was there (such an amazing husband I have).  So here they are at the parade:

Thank goodness for amazing Grandmas.  We love grandma Castro!

Had to get beads of course, cant go to a parade without getting beads!

After the parade they headed to over to Eric's grandma Johnson's house where I met them for their tradition flooding the lawn and playing the water and a bbq!  We always have so much fun!  This year we were lucky and got to also bring along my niece Toree since we were babysitting her for the night! 

 

We finished off the night watching fireworks and then rootbeer floats after with the Harts!  It was definitely a day filled with only fun!  Have I mentioned how much I love the fourth of July!

 

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Beach Babe

Summer is here and we have been up to some fun stuff lately.  I love summer because it always filled with lots of things like bbq's, campfires, swimming, and basically lots of stuff outside.  We were even lucky to get a visit from one of my best friends Alyssa and her husband Dustin and their new baby Abby this last weekend (we were way overdue to see each other)!  Scott and Brittanie had been living with my parents for a couple of months before they left for arizona.  During their stay we decided to head up to Bear Lake for a day since brittanie had never been there before.  Its pretty cold still (lets be honest Bear Lake never really warms up) so i decided to just put kennedy's feet in the water where it was shallow enough that it had warmed up.  She HATED it and instantly cried!  We decided maybe she would enjoy the sand.  So we buried her feet in the sand and she fell in love with it.  She was smiling and laughing the whole time.  I was so happy that she could at least enjoy some of the beach since Eric and I love the beach so much!  It was definitely a good time!  Here are some pictures of us at Bear Lake!

I had to add the last one because it makes me laugh.  Kennedy isn't normally crossed eyed but when i went to go take the picture because I thought it was funny what she was doing with her hands she went crossed eyed making the picture that much better!
