The Summer of Kennedy

Kennedy was an answer to so many prayers and much patience. We were so excited for her arrival. She was born on June 15th, 2007. She was 6 pounds 7 ounces. Having a baby in the middle of the summer really changes all of your vacation plans. But we did not care this year.

My mom and sister came down the 1st week Kennedy was born. It was so nice to have the help, and to have someone to keep Dallin entertained.

It was so hot, 117 degrees, that they went swimming in our pool everyday. I was very sad that I could not swim most of the summer.

Garrett's mom came down the 2nd week. What a blessing it was to have 2 weeks straight of help. Dallin loved all the grandmas attention too.

Dallin would swim everyday if we let him. He loves the water.

The 4th of July was quiet at our house with a few fireworks and sparklers.

We have a lot of pictures of Kennedy, because my mom gave me strict instructions that she needed to see pictures once a week so she did not miss out on anything.

Dallin is just a crazy kid and always does the funniest things. He definitely keeps us on our toes.

We blessed Kennedy in Salt Lake. Garrett's whole family was in town for a family reunion and mine all live there so it just made sense. It was a great experience to have the whole family together for a weekend.


Dallin and Griffen

Kennedy's Blessing

3 Months old

She is now 3 months old. Time really does fly by. It has been fun to watch her grow this past few months. She is definitely has her own personality and is very happy as long as she's not hungry.

California

We went to California in August. We did it all. We went to Disneyland and California Adventure, the beach and 3 Yankees games. It was so much fun. We are definitely taking advantage of only living 4 hours from California. It was one of the first vacations that Dallin was not ready to come home from.

THE BEACH

We visited Dave and Jenny, like always, when in Cali. Every year we go to the Yankees game together. It was fun to see them.

It was Sunday and we went to the beach. As you can see Dallin did not have a swim suit because it was Sunday. But he stripped very soon and had fun. Garrett was not impressed and blamed me for letting him be "white trash" at the beach.

DISNEYLAND

Disney land was a blast. Dallin was pretty brave. He went on the Matterhorn and Space Mountain and then that was it for the big rides. But he loved all the little ones. He is at such a fun age where he really thinks the characters are real and he loved meeting them.

Disneyland was so much fun. Dallin loved every minute of it. It was not even bad with the baby there.

CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE

Dallin absolutely loves Cars. In fact we have every car from the movie that he plays with. He really thought Mater and Lightning were real. He did not want to leave them.

YANKEES

Dallin had, had enough. It was the last day of the vacation and between Disneyland, the beach and 3 Yankees games he was done.

Yes, I am a dork. I was really excited to get my picture taken with Jason Giambi. He is a really cool guy. We had about 4 players come over to us because of the baby and tell us to look out for foul balls. It was fun.
