She’s TWO!

I can’t believe our baby girl is two today!  I had fun looking through all these pictures and seeing how much she has changed over the past two years. Warning:  it’s a picture overload, but I just couldn’t decide which ones to keep! Time is flying by, it really needs to slow down. We sure love our Kennedy Rose!

BYU & J-Dawgs

USAA has recruited heavily the last 2 years at BYU so we are getting quite a big group of BYU Alum out here to San Antonio. Given that, we decided to host a BYU Alumni BBQ and serve            J-Dawgs (excellent polish dogs served just off BYU campus.) Not everyone could come, but we still had quite the crowd here       (45 total) and had a great time with everyone and think it was a success!

Hard at work cookin J-Dawgs! This is just some of the kids, there are quite a few close to Kennedy’s age.

We’ve enjoyed getting to know all the new families and have already done quite a few things with them. It’s nice to have others in the same situation as us: young couples living away from family. So our friends and our ward is our family out here.

Witte Museum

Last week we went to the Witte Museum with Kennedy’s friends Boston and Maddi, and their parents.  On Tuesday afternoons admission is free, so we decided to go check it out…along with everyone else in SA :). They had a lot of really neat things,  most of it was geared for elementary age children, but the kids still had lots of fun exploring all there was to see!

Kennedy, Boston and Maddi I think Kennedy’s favorite part was dancing on this mat that changed colors, she loved it!  Her and Boston had a great time.

   

She also loves reading books!

And what kid doesn’t like playing in the water?  Kennedy was watching this coil and I was on the other side taking pictures and the next thing I know she is soaked! A big  kid came over and turned the coil really fast and water went spraying all over Kennedy in a matter of seconds before either of us could do anything. She didn’t even cry, just acted a bit surprised. We are enjoying exploring all the things there are to see and do in San Antonio!

Wedding and Utah Trip

We went to Utah the beginning of May for my brother Christian and Lanée’s wedding. It was a fun and wonderful day! They make a cute couple and are perfect for each other, we are so happy for them and glad to have Lanée as part of the family now! The wedding, luncheon and reception all turned out beautiful!    The Newlyweds!

 

Her dress was gorgeous!Beautiful tulips on Temple Square  The Reception The Jensen Family    They had dancing at the reception and Kennedy was loving every minute of it!  She constantly wanted to be dancing and every time a song ended she’d say “more, more”, I wish I had it on video!

-St. George-

Most of the rest of our trip was sadly spent in jammies and sleeping! Kennedy and I got sick before we even flew out to UT, and we both got worse half-way through the trip so we finally decided to go to the doctor. We found out Kennedy had an ear infection and Bronchitis and I had Pneumonia! No fun! Grandma and Grandpa were troopers and took good care of both of us though! We did get to see some cousins at the beginning and the end when we were feeling better and at least we made it to the wedding! Silly Kennedy wearing grandma’s hat and shoes  Poor Girl- at least she got a lot of movie and binky time since she was sick :) Playing piggies with grandpa. She usually doesn’t sit still in one place, you could definitely tell she was sick when she’d actually sit in your lap! Swinging with cousins Allie and Bree We got to spend a few days with little Ollie and his parents too! This is how she had to eat every day- with the cabbage patch doll in the high chair right next to her!

Even though we were sick we still had a good time. We are just hoping next time we visit Utah we will all be healthy!

Cutie Pie!
