I've been Lying all this Time.

So as long as I can remember, I have been telling people that I am 5"8". Well the life insurance lady came to our house Saturday to do all the tests and she said I was 5'7". WHAT? NO WAY. I made her take it over again twice, but the verdict still came up short. So if I keep saying I am 5'8", don't get mad at me, it's a habit. I'm going to have to get used to this. Maybe I shrunk, what do you think?
On a better note, seeing as Ryan and I are very competitive with one another, I WIN. My blood pressure is lower than his. Compare my 102 over 62 to his 108 over 70. He usually beats me at most things, so it's exciting to beat him at something. Yes, I realize I am a dork.


My Baby is not a Baby ANYMORE

Happy Birthday, Kennedee


Kennedee turned 2 on March 19th. Wow that went by fast. I will probably wake up tomorrow and she will be 20. She has brought so much joy to our lives. I remember soon after she was first born, people always asked me what was the biggest change in now becoming a mother. It wasn't the diapers, or having less time for myself, or anything like that. The biggest change was that I truly felt like a better person overnight. I feel like she has made me kinder, more loving, more patient, and my testimony has grown more than ever.

She is so spunky. She is definitely a girl and loves bows, necklaces, dresses, and baby dolls...............but you will also see her running and climbing with the boys. Just this last week she came home making sound effects when she kicks or punches. She cracks me up this silly girl. Happy Birthday Monkey, I love you, I love you, I love you.

Kennedee loves Grandpa Roberts



Here is the skirt I sewed for her and the shirt I appliqued especially for this 2 year old.

She loves her presents!

She just learned to climb out of the crib and she must have gotten the memo, that when you turn 2, you are supposed to be terrible. So I made her sit in her room (since she wouldn't stay in her crib) and eventually she fell asleep. She made a pile of toys and blankets and plopped right in the middle of it and this is how I found her.





Yes, we really are this Stupid
Flashback 3 years ago. It's Sunday and Ryan and I are quickly getting ready for church so that we can be on time. We pull up to the church and "wow" we must really be early because there sure aren't many cars here yet. After entering the chapel to find nobody, we turn and laugh at eachother, because, YES it is daylight savings day and that extra hour of sleep everybody else got, is now wasted.

Matt and I did a similar thing. We never made it to the chapel. We remembered by the look of the empty parking lot that it was Stake Conf.

Happy Birthday Kennedee! Ashley, you are so creative. I'll need to learn how to sew too. There are just so many things I'd like to learn how to do, so little time.

Fun fun. Happy Birthday Kennedee! What a cute girl...so funny with the sleeping picture. And that is hilarious about your height! Funnier though is that the same thing happened to John when we got life insurance! They totally measured him an inch shorter...so weird!

We did the exact same thing with church! Kennedee is a doll! Don't those years fly by so fast?

I'm so glad Kennedee makes you a better person...but honey, just wait until you have two! I used to think I was a pretty patient person, now I keep hearing myself say in a very unpleasantly loud voice, "Stop fighting!!" BTW, that picture of Kennedee asleep on her toys is priceless!
