Lately:)

So not much has changed since my last post! The weather here in Provo has been beautiful these past 2 weeks:)! Kennedy and I have have spent alot of time outside on walks and playing in the back yard! I am soo thankful for the sunshine because staying inside all day makes me go crazy!! Kelin is still working hard at his job and is still loving it! I love seeing him come home with a big smile telling me all that he has learned/did that day. We are still loving it here in Utah and having fun with our little Kennedy. Kennedy has also been having lots of fun with her cousins who come over a couple times a week and for Sunday dinner! I am honestly sooooo baby hungry, especially when I see Kennedy playing so good with her cousins. She has so much fun with them and is so sweet and cute to them! So hopefully some day in the near future she will have one..or two more siblings:)!
Here are the pics I promised..:)

Well that was kind of a pic overload but you get the idea of what we have been up to:)!

Utah life

Well we have been living in Utah for a month on Tuesday! Can you believe how fast time flies? So far everything is going great and we LOVE it here! The first week was hard for me and  I missed Rexburg for a bit. I wasnt used to all of the people and traffic that comes with being in a bigger town! After about a week tho I got over it and now I dont really want to leave haha! Their is so much to do here and I love being around so much family. Its crazy being able to drive down the street and be right next to a mall and pretty much every store you could imagine!  This never happens in Rexburg where their is virtually no shopping options. We have spent a couple days stopping into all of the stores we havent been able to go to since life in Idaho. We generally dont have much time for that anymore however, because Kelin just started working 40 hour weeks this week! He was originally only going to be working 30 hours unpaid but after the first week or 2 his boss decided he was doing so good they would give him more hours and pay him! What a blessing this is to our little family and we are so grateful how that worked out! We went out to sushi this last friday to celebrate and it was such a perfect and fun little night with my family. I probably emberass Kelin with how much I brag about him but he is such a hard worker and I really coulnt be more proud of my talented hubby. I am still a stay at home mommy and I am so thankfull to be one! Greatest job in the world and I feel so lucky. Kennedy is now 15 months old and cuter than ever! We are living with Kelin's aunt and uncle while we are here and they have a 3 story house so most of my time during the day is spent chasing Kennedy around! This has actually been amazing cardio so I am not complaining:)! Some of Kennedy's favorite things to do are
-chase Ricky around(the dog)
-say bye to everyone while waving(even strangers)
-blow kisses
-grab my hand and drag me all over the house
-read books
-talk even though we pretty much have no idea what she is saying
-scream
-talk on the phone
I really wish I was better at taking pics but I will post some this weekend because I know those are more fun to look at then reading words:) that is pretty much all we have been up to lately! We are so grateful for Kennedy and the sweet little blessing she has been and still is in our lives. I look forward to the crazy and exciting journey life continues to takes us on as a little family!

Finally..

So it has been forever since I have blogged and I have quite a bit to catch up on! We were very busy this holiday season but had an absolute blast! For Thanksgiving we flew out to Chicago to be with Kelins family and spent about a week there. It was so much fun and I know Kelin had an absolute blast being able to be with his whole family all together again! Kelin got to play basketball with his brothers and dad, and even got to go black Friday shopping. It was also a very relaxing time for us because Julie, Kelin's mom watched Kennedy a ton and we were very grateful for that! I even got to go tanning a bunch in Julie's tanning bed, which was very nice because I dont get to see the sun very often living in Rexburg;) Kennedy had a great time and even got to meet her cousins for the very first time! She had a great time playing with them and stayed up until 11 almost every night..she normally doesnt do this ha!  We all had such a great time being with Kelin's family and the time flew by way too fast! I wish we would have taken more pics!

For Christmans we were off to Utah to be with my family. We had a great time relaxing and I especially enjoyed being around my sisters and mom again because it has been a while since we have all been together! Kelin had a rude awakening realizing how is life is going to be with girls however because he grew up with all brothers! Lets just say their were a few cat fights and hormones raging at times and Kelin didnt quite know how to handle it:) but my sisters and I eventually made up and got over it quickly! I told Kelin this is what he has to look forward to when Kennedy gets older if we have anymore girls. I think he is really hoping our next baby will be a boy now! My favorite part of the trip was going to the Salt Lake temple and looking at the temple lights. All of us were very cold besides little Kennedy who was wrapped snuggly in her stroller with blankets, gloves, and ear muffs. She didnt make a sound the whole time we were there! She was so amused with everything going on around her. Christmas was great and Kennedy was very spoiled! I loved that Christmas was on a Sunday this year and it was so nice being able to go to church and remember the true meaning of Christmas.

After the holidays we got all settled back in Rexburg and Kelin started a new semester and was doing great! After about a week and a half Kelin got an email saying he was selected in the top 13 to recieve an accounting internship in Utah and that they would be choosing 3 to come to Utah. We had been praying about Kelin doing an internship for a while and so I knew he was going to get it! Sure enough we found out a few days later that Kelin got the internship and we had to be in Utah in a week. After a quick freak out session we quickly made plans to move to Utah! We have been here for a little over a week now and Kelin is 3 days into his internship. He is loving it and getting along with his boss great! We are so grateful for how everything worked out and came together for us to be here! Everything just fell into place so perfectly and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for helping us and blessing us with this opportunity. I have seen his hand in our lives so much since we have been married and I am thankful he has been with us on this journey. Kelin's internship wasnt going to be paid and we found out 2 days ago that he will be getting paid! I am grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord and I know he loves all of his children and as long as we reach out to him and include him in our lives he will be there for us and help us in all things. We will be in Utah until April and then Kelin will have 3 more semester left(one year) I look forward to the journey ahead of us  with great faith and excitement!!:)

Kennedys photo shoot!:)

So one of the girls in our ward makes these amazing headbands and baby clothes and asked Kennedy if she  would model some of her new stuff for her face book page. Of course I was thrilled and said yes right away!  I LOVE how the photos turned out. If any of you are wanting baby clothes or headbands you should totally check out her page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=535043335#!/MandaBOWtique.. her prices are totally reasonable and all of her stuff is adorable! The photographer was also AMAZING and here is the link to her page http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=535043335#!/C.ThielPhotography..enjoy!!

Update:)

So we have been soo busy lately and I have been terrible at blogging,,as you can tell! And sorry for not completing the 10 day challenge haha:) but it was fun while it lasted! Fall semester has started for Kelin and he is enjoying most of his classes. He is looking for an internship for this upcoming Winter semester in January, so we are praying that everything will work out with that! We are hoping to get out of the Burg for a semester ha. Kennedy is growing faster than ever and will be one years old in less then a month! Seriously time goes by so fast and I never really understood when parents would complain about their children growing up so fast until I had my own! We are becoming pretty baby hungry I am not going to lie, and I want Kennedy to have someone to play with. Kelin will be graduating in 3 semesters and so the ideal time to get prego would be August so we would have the baby a month before he graduates. Another exciting thing that I just found out is that we will be going to Chicago for Thanksgiving. We are so excited and graetful to Kelin's parents for buying us plane tickets. We are also excited because all of Kelin's brothers will also be in Chicago for Thanksgiving! It will be so much fun and we can hardly wait. Not much else is going on besides the weather. Everyday it seems to get colder, windier, and darker! In Rexburg this means its about to snow. So sad:(! Kennedy and I love our daily walks to the park. I am going to have to get some new craft ideas to occupy my time because I am going to have plenty of it in winter. I am using this blog as a journal to document our busy lives so I am going to try and be better at blogging more often. Anyways here are some recent pics of our little princess..enjoy:)

10 day you challenge: 7 wants

1. Hubby to graduate, about a year in a half left!!
2. Be settled with a cute little house
3. Loose the rest of this baby weight!
4. Be the best momma and wife I can be each day
5. Dream car: white escalade:)..one day?
6. Cherish every moment with my quickly growing baby
7. Continue to be as happy as I am:)

It was actually really hard for me to think of 7 things because I honestly have everything I have ever wanted. I have already married the man of my dreams and have the sweetest little baby. Of course their are things I am looking forward to such as, Kelin graduating, and expanding our family and stuff. I just want to cherish and savor each moment of my life because time goes so fast and I dont want to waste it wishing for things in the future. Anyways, not to much is going on! We just got back from Utah 2 weeks ago and had an absolute blast! So thankful to all the people who spoiled us and made time to see us. Kelin hasnt had to work this week so Kennedy and I have been very spoiled by seeing him the whole day every day and we absolutely loved it! Kennedy cannot get enough of her daddy and giggles whenever he is around. Its so cute! I have been busy with walking lots and doing crafts. I will post some of my recent projects I just finished. Fall semester starts back up for Kelin in 3 weeks so until then we will be partying it up enjoying him before its back to the grind. Fall is my favorite season in Rexburg because its absolutley perfect weather and all the leaves change pretty colors. I wish it lasted longer! Also halloween is coming up and I am more excited than ever because I get to dress Kennedy up and take her trick or treating. Having a baby just makes every holliday one hundered times better! So many exciting things to look forward too:)! Until then we are going to keep enjoying summer and workin on my tan!
