Happy Birthday Kennedy Grace!

Happy birthday sweet girl! I love you more than you know! I am so grateful to have you in my life. You are so full of energy and love that it is hard for you to contain it all. You are so smart and cute and wonderful! I hope you have many, many more birthdays that we can share with you. We love you baby girl! Here are some pictures from your first birthday party last night. You had lots of family and friends here. You ate BBQ, opened MANY presents, and ate a whole cupcake all by yourself. You even got to go skinny dipping! You had such a great day!



The kid knows what she wants!

Invitation

If you are a friend of mine or family, you are invited to Kennedy's 1st birthday party tomorrow night. If you don't have my information, send me a comment and I will give it to you! I had to edit the invite so that some psycho doesn't show up. Ha!

Early Birthday Party

Since we are in California, we had an early birthday party for Kennedy with our family. She had so much fun eating cake and ice cream,opening presents and playing with her new toys. I have no idea how I am going to get her presents back to Utah, but I'll figure something out. I was happy that we were able to let everyone see her before she turned one. Her first birthday party is this Saturday and her actual birthday is on Sunday. I can't believe it!!!


Warning: The next clip may not be suitable for young viewers. After the party was the "after-party" in the hot tub. Kennedy danced naked to some techno music. Introducing... "Babies Gone Wild"!

A Day at the Beach

My husband surprised me on Sunday and told me that I was going to San Diego! I got here yesterday and we went straight to the beach. Kennedy had a great time discovering sea weed and the taste of sand, but she was not too fond of the water. I think it was too loud for her. As long as she kept a safe distance from the waves, she was fine. It was a great day and I only got a little burnt. Let me know if you are in San Diego/Vista area and we can play! Also, I had a problem with picking just 1 picture, so I am posting a "few"!

Sales and Hair

I have not had a haircut in about 2 years. I have been wearing my hair in a ponytail for most of that time. Well, last night, we went to Gardner's Village for a big sale...and when I hear SALE, I am so there. It turns out that even the spa was having a sale. Every service was $10.00! I am talking massages, facials, pedicures, haircuts, waxing, everything! So, I decided to finally get a haircut. I basically let the girl do whatever she wanted and I LOVE it! The pictures do not do it justice. It is short and layered and razored to make it have more volume. I am so happy that it is easy and that I can wear it down again. It's great to have a change.

And, as promised...Blessings 13 and 14.

Blessing 13 is....Informational Blogs!
I am obsessed lately with informational blogs such as how to do hair. I love one imparticular called Shorty Rockin' it Short because Kennedy has short hair still. I look everyday to get ideas. Here is a cute one I tried yesterday. I know it's not a spiritual blessing, but technology is a blessing right? Ha!
Blessing 14 is a spiritual blessing. I is the comfort that comes from the holy ghost. Every time I feel as though the world is about to collapse around me, I pray for peace. I love that I can do that. Even if things don't work out the way I would like them to or in my time frame, I know that the Lord takes care of me and knows my needs. It brings great comfort to me!

Summer Fun

Christian waas off work for a few days, so we decided to have some fun and take Kennedy to the park to play in the creek. It was so cold, but it felt so good! Kennedy loved it and did not want to get out. After swimming, we just let her play around in the grass and find great "toys" like sticks to play with. It was a lot of fun.

This picture is hilarious! First of all, it is when she first woke up so she looks white trash with her bed hair and no pants. Second of all, she loves this basket (even though it is the basket from our dishwasher). She carries it around like she's little red riding hood or something. I had to take this picture!

This picture is also pretty funny. Kennedy loves to watch movies now,halleluja! I usually give her a bowl of Cheerios and she sits and watches. But, on this day, she decided to lay on her belly to watch. It made her look so grown up. I love it!


Lastly, I know I am behind like 2-3 weeks on my blessings, so I will have to catch up on them when I post again on Sunday.

Your memories!

I have seen this on practically everyone's blogs and decided to follow. I have left many of you my memories and would like to hear yours.
So, here are the rules:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave a memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! If you don't have a google ID you can post a comment and click anonymous as your identity -- just make sure to sign your name so I know who you are!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you.It should be 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 (or if you don't have a blog I will e-mail you my memory!).
