Happy Birthday McKenna !!!

I can't believe that it is February!! Time just flies the older I get. Kenna just turned 5 yrs old. I can't believe it. She is so sassy I can't even tell you. She can also be so sweet. She is such a girly girl she is in dance and loves it and is really getting good at it. I just signed her up to do some indoor soccer so we will see if she likes it. She loves school she is writing letters all the time. She is such a great big sister to Addie. Her Birthday theme was flowers. (I said no princess party this year. I wanted to so something else.)She picked the flower theme and it was so fun. I made flowers out of paper for about a month to decorate with. It turned out really cute here are some pictures......



Here are some decorations.(sorry the picture is blurry) So that thing the looks like and S is really suppose to be a 5, but hey she didn't care.



My big 5 year old. I love she is sticking her tongue out:)



So for all those who know me I am a cupcake nut. I made these awesome (I like to brag) cupcakes. They took forever but I thought they turned out cute.


So I did two parties for her a friend party and a family party. Her friend party the did a craft and played a games. We had 12 girls over and it was crazy fun!!


Here's the cheesy smile she did all day. That's my girl!!


All of Kenna's friend


So my brother and his wife moved to Florida. My girls love aunt Kara. Luckily Aunt Kara was in town helping her mom so she got to come to the party. Kenna was so excited to see her.


As you can see she got tons of presents and got totally spoiled. It was such a fun day. Addie had a hard time because it wasn't her birthday. So daddy bought her a shirt at Target to make her feel special and she loved it. So we had a busy weekend but it sure was fun to spend time with all our family and friends.

So i just have to tell you that Brandon and I have been trying to get out of debt for awhile now. Every since he loss his job at Prestige. It has been had to watch every penny we spend. But yesterday we got our tax returns and we are completely out of debt. Well except my car but it's a huge deal for us:) So we are so excited.

Happy Holidays

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas:) We have had such a busy and fun filled month. We started Elf on the Shelf this year. My girls love it. They wake up every morning asking where Simon(our Elf) ? It;s so fun to do. We went to Temple Square to see the lights this year. It was the first time we have taking the girls. It was so fun they loved it. We have had a family party and Santa came. I was so pround of Adalyn. She did not like Santa at the mall. He only got a high five and bones. But she actually sat on his lap at the party :)

Christmas is so fun this year.Kenna is so into Santa and of course Addi is right there getting just as excited. Also Brandon turned the big 3-0 this last week. It was a fun day. We went to see The Muppets and went out for Chinese. We have been so blessed this year and are so greatful for our friends and family. Happy Holidays !!

Kenna loves baby Tyson she read him books and got him to sleep :)

Computer died

So our lovely computer got a virus again and is not working now. So for the few people that do read my blog you will have to check my facebook for awhile till we get our computer fixed. I know I haven't updated in awhile. We have been super busy getting ready for Halloween :) Its our favorite Holiday. I just finished the girls costumes. They are going to be witches. I'm so excited because Kenna has been a princess the pass two years.
Also this month I turned 30 yrs old! I know I know I'm getting up there. My mother in law got me tickets to Thriller. So Brandon and I had a fun date yesterday and went to lunch and to Thriller. I loved it! It made me miss dance a lot and wished I had the body of a dancer again. I also got some cute decor for my house and my cute neighbors both bought me Golden Spoon ( it's my favorite) and some flowers. I have so many sweet friends that remember my birthday. Thank you! We are so excited for Halloween so check out facebook for some pictures.

Thankful.....

So summer is over and we are back into the swing of things. Kenna is in school and dance. She loves school and wants to go everyday. Adalyn wishes so bad she was old enough to go to school and dance. She always says," I'm too little I can't go to preschool." This past week they both got sick, but they are on the mend.
So I have not had the best attitude lately. It's hard being a mom and trying to stay in tune with the spirit. I am so grateful for my little princess' that remind me every night to read scripture and pray, even though sometimes I am so tired and done for the day. I am so thankful for my little family.
I also want to thank my friends in my ward. I have met so many amazing people in this ward. Last night I went to book club. Don't worry I just went to socialize. Read a book, me? I did just finish the first Hunger Games it only took me 6 months:) I love all the ladies that where there. It was so fun.
I'm just feeling thankful for all the many blessings in my life and wanted to share. And I have to say that I am so grateful for the knowledge of the gospel. I don't know where I would be without it.

Anniversary week

Brandon and I have been celebrating our anniversary all week.It's not till Monday August 15th but he has had the whole week off. He has planned everything. It started on Sunday I went a scavenger hunt. It was so cute and we ended at his mom's house. There was a envelope which had a fake ticket to Canada.(that's where we went on our honeymoon) On the ticket there were hints to what we were doing the next day. We went to Red Butte Garden because in Canada we went to Bush Art Gardens. It was so fun. The Children Garden was my favorite part. My girls were in heaven. Then that night he picked up Olive Garden and we had a candle light dinner. And that was remembering the first year we were married it snowed so much a tree fell on our street and we couldn't get our cars out. So we walked in the snow to Olive Garden.














He also cooked every meal. Here are some pictures of our fun food we had this week....









Day Two: Kenna had school in the morning so we picked her up and went downtown to Disney Days. It was fun and free !!! The girls went to the petting zoo,bouncy house, and made a craft. It was fun. Then that night we went to a movie. Brandon had babysitters every night. It was so nice :)





Day Three: Breakfast was so fun. We went had breakfast with the characters like at Disneyland but we had all the girls stuffed animals in the kitchen. Then that afternoon we dropped the girls off with Brandon's mom. Then we went to the disney store and took a nap. It was so nice to hang out with no kids. That night we went and saw Tangled in the park. It was a perfect day.






Day Four: We went up to Kaysville to see our friends. They watched the girls and Brandon and I went to boondocks. I just have to say I was kickin' butt at mini golf. Then I totally lost it I blame the heat. Then we had a fun Nacho dinner with all our friends.

Day Five: ZOO DAY!!! Kenna has been dying to go see the dinosaur at the zoo. She was a little scared at first but then she loved them. It was so fun I love zoo:)Then we came home and took naps. The girls went to grandma and grandpa's for a sleepover. Brandon and I wen to Cafe' Rio and then we cam home and relaxed. It's so nice to get a good night's rest.





Saturday we woke up and met my parents and the girls at a hot air balloon festival. It was so fun and the girls loved it.




The rest weekend was nice and relaxing. I am so grateful for my wonderful husband. He is such an awesome dad and works so hard for our family. Happy Anniversary babe! The best eight years ever and I can't wait to spend many more anniversary with you.

Summer Update

Time for a update....
My sister had her baby July 5 2011. They named him Tyson Benjamin Harvey. He is so cute he was 8lbs 12oz and 22 inches. He was one once bigger than Kenna was. We love baby Tyson.



Cute little Tyson


Kenna learned how to ride a bike. Grandpa bought her a helmet and helped her. She is awesome now she loves it.


We went to see the float for the Days of 47 Parade. As most of you know we are huge U Fans. Kenna saw this and started yelling "Utah Utah Utah" It was so funny.

Kenna did swimming lesson at draper pool this summer. She loved them. I might do them this winter too so she doesn't drive me crazy.


Here are her friends she did swimming with


We went camping this last weekend with my family. It was so much fun. We went up to Soapstone Basin. We took our getto van and slept in it. It was awesome. I must admit that I am liking the van more and more. My sister and her husband came with baby Tyson. It was so fun but its so nice to come home to my bed. Here are some pictures....

Girls love the 4 wheelers. We were all them all the time. There were some sheep up there so we would chase the sheep with 4 wheelers. It was a good time.
