A day in the sun...FINALLY!

My heck! Thank Heavens that it is finally getting warmer! Kenna and I have been going crazy being cooped up inside for so long- now that the weather is finally getting better we have been outside just about every spare second or the day!

Kennedy is having an awesome time playing outside and exploring everything. It makes me feel like a kid again to watch her. She is really getting into using her imagination and playing in the dirt- just like every kid should do. Anyhow- my sister in law got these cute shots of her and so I thought I would share.

Husband Tag...






Ok- so I have been husband tagged... this is actually a good one for me- because my honey is one of my all time favorite subjects!


What's his name?... McCarrey

How long have you been married?...4 years,8 months and 1 day!

How long did you date?...I am embarrassed!...7 weeks... I know!! But when it's right- it's right!

How old is he?... 29

Who said 'I love you' first?... I think he did...but I really can't remember! It was 7 weeks!! It all happened so fast my head is still reeling from it!

Who kissed who first?... I kissed him- I was his first kiss! He was taking a long time to get the guts up- and one day I just leaned over and planted one on him!

Who asked who out first?...He asked me. We literally met right outside the temple front doors on Main street. I was walking one direction- he was walking the other- we passed each other and said hi- and for whatever reason, we both turned around and walked back to each other. We started talking- he got my phone number- and we have been together every day since!

Who proposed?...He did- and darn good thing too- we'd still be dating if he were waiting around for me to do it!

Who eats more?...He does.

Who is taller?... He is- but not by much.

Who is smarter?...McCarrey is- hands down!!

Who does laundry?...Mostly I do- but he is very willing to fold the clothes- (Which I HATE doing!!) Funny thing though- he will fold them- but he NEVER puts them away.

Who does the dishes?...I do. Yuck!

Who sleeps on the right side of the bed?...I do.

Who pays the bills?...Mac does all the bills- I just get to spend the money.

Who mows the lawn?... I do. I have the mornings off- so it's easier for me to do it.

Who cooks dinner?...I do. Last time McCarrey made dinner for me...it was this horrible, pasty rice concoction that had broccoli, (and get this!) green chilies in it. Yup- I am not even kidding!

Who drives when you are together?...Mac does. I hate driving.

Who is more stubborn?...Me! For sure! My husband is so patient and good and I am a monster woman at times!

Who is cleaner?...That's a total toss up! I am more picky about making sure that the living room and kitchen are clean- and Mac can't stand our room to be a mess...so I guess it depends on who is cleaning that day.

Who has more siblings?...I have two brothers and I am smack dab in the middle. My honey on the other hand is the 2nd youngest of 8, 2 sisters and 5 brothers (two of them passed away as children) so he's the winner on that one.

Whose parents do you see more often?...We are lucky because we live in the same city as both sets of parents. We see all of them all the time. Mac's dad is a little tougher to see because he is gone quite a bit traveling all over the countryside. I have to say though- I feel very lucky to have such awesome in-laws and I love that we get to spend so much time with family.

Ok- so that's that. If you are reading this- consider yourself tagged too. Just copy and paste- and erase my answers and put yours in- then let me know so I can read it. My husband is amazing and I am definately the luckiest girl alive! Sorry to all you girls who didn't get him- but I just couldn't let him stay out on the market!

All made up with no where to go...

The other day I was working on the dishes and I realized that Kennedy was upstairs and it was awfully quiet... (Never a good sign!) I went upstairs and found her in my room playing with my makeup. She had taken my concealer stick and covered herself from head to toe! I just started laughing and had to run straight for the camera. She had white. blotchy skin all day! I couldn't get it off!


Kenna is always wanting makeup and dresses on. She is so funny when it comes to clothes and hair. She will go up to a complete stranger and say "Do you like my shirt?" or "I like your hair- it's cute!" Where does she get this from?! I am about as fashion clueless as they come- this has to be genetics because she isn't getting this from me- she just cracks me up!















Time Flies!





Kennedy is two years old now and she definately keeps me on my toes. It is so hard to believe that time flew by so fast! I can remember it like it happened two seconds ago when we got the call saying that there was a beautiful little baby girl at the hospital waiting for us to come and bring her home. It was for sure the craziest time of our lives! We literally had 24 hours to buy EVERYTHING! We had only overnighted our paperwork to the agency the day before and BAM! We were parents! We had a blast running up and down the aisles of the stores throwing anything and everything into the carts to prepare for our new arrival. The first time I saw her- it is not an exaggeration to say that I was instantly in love. She has been the most amazing thing in our lives and she is turning into the funniest kid! She is talking up a storm and developing quite the diva attitude! Heaven help me when she is a teenager!
