Cram session

We have had a lot going on this month so there will be a lot of things which I will breifly describe so you all know what is going on with our little fam.

Well, the fourth of July was really fun, we went to the fourth of the July parade with Auntie Lindsay. McKenna loved all the floats and big balloons.


We also took McKenna to see Monsters vs. Aliens which she liked, but got a little restless towards the end. We went with Abbey, Trevor, Brandon and Lindsay and watched the stadium of fire fireworks which were pretty cool.

After that we lit off our own fireworks in our parking lot. McKenna loved doing the sparklers with our help of course not by herself. It was really fun though!



Abbey's wedding was following that on the 11th of July. Courtney and Lexi got to come down and stay with us, which I loved! My whole family was there so I had a blast seeing everyone and hanging out. It was a beautiful wedding and I am so happy for Abbey and Trevor.




We got family pictures while we were all together, I think they turned out pretty good.


McKenna and I went to Idaho for the last time after the wedding to hang out with the fam before everyone left to go back home and before my parents and sister move. It was really fun to be with all of them, but I am really sad that it is the last time I will ever go to their house again. At least I can still visit there since Court lives there still. McKenna had so much fun playing with all her cousins! They went swimming and we had Gwen's birthday party and they just played toys and loved every second of it. She will miss all her cousins, now she has no one to play with.




Last but not least, McKenna's turned two on the 19th. We had a small celebration for her since her birthday was on a Sunday. She opened presents, and Auntie Lindsay and Abbey and Uncle Trevor and Brandon came over to celebrate with us. We had cake and ice cream, and all enjoyed McKenna entertain us.

Travis and I took her the next day to build a bear and let her pick out her own stuffed animal, she chose a bunny, and she got to help stuff it and bathe it and giver her a name (Ellie) and make a birth cirtificate for it. She loved it, and she always plays with her now.


She also got a bike which she loves to sit on. She hasn't quite figured it out yet, but she is getting there.

She got cute clothes and books too, thank you everyone for the gifts, she loved everything! I just can't believe she is two already, time flies by so fast!

Well that was a lot of stuff crammed into one session, but I hope you all enjoyed it and I will try to keep it updated more often. We hope everyone's summer has been as fun as ours so far. Well that is it for now, we love you all!

Don't jinx yourself

So I just jinxed myself because I was saying the other day that I have never been in an accident or gotten pulled over. To my great surprise one of those happened today.
I was on my way to pick up Travis from work, and I was going down a pretty busy road. This dumb van pulls out to try to get into the turning lane, but there were so many cars that they could't get into it so they were sticking out in my lane. I just switched lanes so no one was in that lane and thought I was good. There was a street to the right of me where cars were turning or going straight, and just as I was coming up to and and about to pass it, I saw this car about to turn and it didn't look like it was going to stop. I was going to get into the other lane but that dumb van was there, so I just had to brace myself and take the hit.
The car didn't really even stop and just ran into the side of me. It completely popped the back tire and put two pretty big dents in the door of our van. I had to pull over on this busy street.
It wouldn't have been so bad, but I had no makeup on and was in just a tshirt and shorts, so I looked like trash and all these cars were going by staring at me, it was a little embarrasing. The guy who hit me was an old guy and his car was more damaged then mine, but it looked like it was my fault since the cars driving by couldn't see the side on my car that got hit, only the old man's, and I looked like I was like 17 or something.
I didn't know what to do, so I called Travis and he said he would be there as soon as he could. I got the guys information and everything, and thankfully he admitted he was at fault so I won't have any problems there.
We had a tow truck come get the van, and Lindsay and Brandon gave us a ride home thankfully, thanks guys!
It was kind of scary, but I am glad it wasn't worse than it was considering I had McKenna in the car with me. I am actually glad I had a van otherwise the damage would be a lot more than it was.
Two lessons I learned from this, first, never say never, and second, I am not going to go somewhere unless I look somewhat decent.
