McKenna is one!

We decided to have one big party on her birthday because McKenna loves people and we thought that would be one of the best gifts we could give her.

Samantha did the invites! She did a great job! I did a little project each day so that I wouldn't be overwhelmed on her Birthday.

Build-A-Bear

Landon was able to get half a day off for McKennasBirthday so we met him at Fashion Place Mall at Build-A-Bear. It was a lot of fun! McKenna loves stuffed animals so this was perfect for her!

We picked her,gave her a heart and a song and then once she was stitched up we bathed her and then picked out an entire outfit and then named her. Her name is Bear Bear and we even bought her a friend, a little flamingo named Mingo. They both got all glamed up for the party that night.

McKenna's Birthday Breakfast

McKenna and I had such a fun day on her Birthday. I tried to prep for her party ahead of time so that on her birthday she could have a fun day.

For breakfast we went to McDonalds and she got to eat all her favorites and then got to play all over in the play area bc there weren't other kids there. She had so much fun!

The 24th of July

Landon had to work and McKenna has been a little sick so we didn't go to any parades but when Landon got home from work we headed down to Spanish Fork Fiesta Days. We didn't go to the rodeo but we went to the booths and carnival and then headed over to the ballpark and hung out with grandpa and grandma until the fireworks. McKenna loves fireworks! We all had a lot of fun.

2 Year Anniversary

We debated on if we should go away for our anniversary or not. We eventually decided not to so Landon could have some time with McKenna bc he hasn't had much time with her since we got back from NC. 

So we made a bunch of plans for Saturday.... And just like our luck for the last two years half of our plans didn't work out. The SLC temple was closed and so was Red Ginger and we ended up going to a different movie than planned.

We still had a great time though and did some fun things! We saw Red 2, went to Trader Joes, Petco and The World Market, we went to Tuscany which is where we had our luncheon after our wedding- so beautiful! Then we went up to Brighton and walked around Silver Lake which was so relaxing and romantic!

Over the past two years Landon and I have learned how to go with the flow. We have been through a lot of really hard times and yet we have had amazing times also. We are so proud of our marriage and the little family we have created!

So in the last two years we got married, got pregnant and had a baby. We have lived in two different locations together. We both got new jobs. We have two dogs. We sold our truck and bought a family sports utility. Landon started his MBA program and so so so much more!

Here's to successful, happy years ahead!

Cousin Time @ the Pool

Today is only our second day back but since we were gone for a week and all the cousins were in GA for a few weeks we thought we should get together. We swam and got Happy Meals. Nice to catch up and to have everyone home for now.

Jumping Back into Things

I thought it would be hard coming back home after being gone an entire week to NC. I was surprised that McKenna and I just picked up where we left off. 

We got home super late Tuesday and Wed I checked my phone and had messages from work and from the relief society. So I went to my presidency meeting, had my conference call for work, worked out, ran to the store, met Landon for dinner etc. it was crazy. Jet lag has nothing on us!
