Life behind the lens

So here is our life lately according to the iphone.  As you can obviously see our life revolves around KJ which there never is a dull moment.  She is growing up so fast.  She is loving her baby food, taking baths, she just recently learned to sit up on her own for long periods of time, and is getting into everything!  So grateful for this little girl and the life that we live!

DUCK CREEK

The past couple of years Nicole, Eric, and I (now Kennedy as you could probably guess) have taken a friend vacation.  The first year we went to Duck Creek to Nicole's cabin and this year we returned back there.  This time Taylor (our other really good friend), Heather and Tyler (Nicole's sister and brother-in-law), and her grandpa came with.  We spent lots of time enjoying the mountains by four-wheeling, hiking, and exploring caves.  They have some awesome caves there which we love to go through, even though most people were complaining of them being to tight to get through but still so much fun!  We found a lot of opportunities to get ourselves plenty dirty by riding through huge puddle of mud on the four-wheelers.  And we hiked to a gorgeous waterfall!  We also had to spend a night in Saint George due to some double booking of the cabin but it was no big deal.  It actually worked out pretty nice because we then got to go swimming and the boys got to make a midnight run to get hunger games when it came out!  So here's some pictures of the vacation:

In the caves we had to crawl under these bars to get to one of them.

We got super muddy

Eric and I took this on the way home! Way gorgeous and peaceful!

The waterfall

Kennedy made lots of new best friends. She loved Taylor!

It was a blast as always!  Thanks to Nicole and all her planning, she seriously is the BEST, lucky to be her friend!  Hopefully this tradition lives on because I can't wait to see what we come up with next year! And a huge appreciation for Heather and Tyler for volunteering to watch Kennedy so much during the trip so we could go out and do stuff!

Best Friends!

Meet Abby, she is Kennedy's best friend (well maybe its a forced friendship for now).  She belongs to Alyssa, my best friend, which means they must be best friends right?  Abby is almost to the day 2 months younger then Kennedy.  I still remember the day when Alyssa called me to announce her pregnancy and asked if our babies could be friends!  I was so excited!  Well Abby, Alyssa, and Dusting (Alyssa's husband) came down and visited the other day and Abby and Kennedy finally got to play.  I guess "play" isn't exactly what they did, it was more Abby trying to figure out what was going on and where she was and Kennedy rolled on her tummy looking at Abby like "Hey, what are you doing" and also trying to grab Abby's arm (I'm sure to stick in her mouth since she is at the stage where she will stick anything and everything in her mouth!).  Anyways it made me so excited for when they can really be friends even if it is forced because Alyssa and I are best friends!  Kennedy and I were also able to go up to their place (they finally moved close enough to visit) and go swimming!  It was so much fun, we had a blast!  Of course Kennedy loved swimming as always and it apparently was very relaxing to both babies because they both fell asleep in the middle of swimming!  crazy babies!

They are so cute huh!  and totally opposites!

Now all I need to do is convince Dustin to move down here (Alyssa and Abby are already convinced) closer so we can hang out everyday!  (ha ha im sure our husbands would love that!)

I love having a best friend who has a baby like the same age as mine!  Next time we will have to try for opposite genders so they can get married (JK!)
