Gabbi and Kaydence

Updated....finally, I will try to be better at blogging.

2009-09-28T21:08:00.000-04:00

WOW......Talk about being a huge slacker. I've just been so overwhelmed with work and doing the mom thing that I didn't have much time to update. I have so much to update you all on since my last blog in may.
Kaydence and the boys having a blast in the kiddies pool at aunt Ashley's house.

Kaydence loving her uncle Jordon!

We had a blast at the 4th of July party at Church and then carried it over to my aunt Debbie's house. We went swimming in her pool, its crazy cause kaydence hated the big pool last year and this year she loves it.

she loved floating in her mermaid tube. she could float around for hours if i let her.

Kaydence and Jayden chilling with Heather. Heather is now a good friend of the families....she is almost like a sister to me. We were sad to see her leave for school but she might be coming back. Yay!!!!

Miss Kaydence at church with the cutest outfit on ever. I love shopping for my little angel!!!! So about this other pic....we love watch the TLC channel and the show toddlers and tiaras comes on. I think its so cute to see these girls all dressed up. I want to try it with kaydence, not enter her in a pageant but to just dress her up. She has the attitude like the girls on the show and i think she would fit right in. haha So now back to the bum pic, she does the pose where she twists her body and does a kissy face and sticks her bum out. When i asked her to do the pose she did is backwards so i got the back shot and not the front. This little girl and so cute, she is a definite girl through and through. I LOVE IT!!!!

Went to the Shawnee Rodeo, and was kinda bummed about it. Its nothing like the rodeo's out in utah and idaho. i just remember then being longer. I wanted to see more bull riding, thats my favorite part.

My little cowgirl!!!

We took the kids to the rodeo on Saturday afternoon. Not long after we go back home, Ashley and I decided that we were going to hang out with our friend Heather. She is staying up in Emmus with her brother for a little while, until she figures out what she is doing about school. So right after we picked her up we were headed north on lehigh st up in allentown. when all of a sudden we see this car coming around a curve way to fast, she hit the metal grated bridge and lost all traction and control of the car. She swerved back and forth and almost hit the car in front of her but instead she turned the wheel and hit us. As you can see in the pic below the damage that was done to Ashley's car.

At first we all felt fine....until the shock wore off. The girl from the other car took an ambulance to the hospital, she didnt look like she got hurt but who knows. Josh came to pick us up and us girls decided to just get checked out just incase. We all started to get a little sore and the docs explained that we just strained muscles in our shoulders and back. That if we just keep heat on them and take it easy it will eventually go away. Our doc was extremely good looking and we didnt even have to wait long at all to get in and bee seen. From now on I will be going to the Lehigh Muhlenburg hospital. They were the best!!!

Well, I have to admit I've been really bad at taking pics let alone updating my blog. We had alot going on this summer. Kaydence and I took a trip down the the Philly Zoo with my Aunt Debbie and her daughter Lizzie. We had a blast, Kaydence loved the monkey's. As we were eating we had little visitors. A little duck and this nasty goose. He was so nasty that he snatched Kaydence's chip and got her finger too. It was so funny but poor Kaydence she was so scared.

We also took a trip down to visit Leah and Saige, before the new baby arrived and before they moved back out to utah. It was quite an eventful weekend. Kaydence decided it would be fun to push poor Saige down the stairs. She was not even afraid to admit she did it. They made up pretty quickly by watching some tv together. We took the girls to applebee's. We took the girls to the beach. It was kaydence's first time and she didnt like the water that much. Not unless i was holding her. I think she could have played in the sand for hours. What was so upsetting about this trip was the fact that i left the camera in the car and didnt get any cute pics of the girls on the beach. What a bummer.

This summer I decided that I wanted to plant a garden. Nothing better than fresh veggies from your own garden. I planted some peppers, squash, zucchini, green beans, cucummber, and tomatoes. I even planted grape tomatoes for Kaydence. Which she would help me pick, she came around with her basket and as im filling it up she was eating them.

There will be more pics to come of our Zoo trip!!!

She's just so darn cute!!!!

This is a few days late but Happy Memorial Day to everyone!!! haha My family had a little BBQ at my aunt Debbies house. It was great, we let the kids run around her big yard. They really needed to let their energy out being stuck inside cause its either raining or way to hot outside. Ashley and I decided to take pictures of the kids since they were all dressed in red, white and blue. I got a few shots of

kaydence before the battery died.

She is my little model. She was not listening to me but i have to say these pics turned out super cute. She has a little side pony tail and we found this flower (clematis) in the yard and it fit just perfectly.

HAPPY EASTER!!!!

THE KIDS HAD A BLAST DOING THE EASTER EGG HUNT. KAY WAS ACTUALLY FELL OFF THE BENCH WHILE TAKING PICS. ASHLEY GOT A PIC OF HER IN MID AIR BUT I DIDNT WANT TO POST THAT. FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT HAVE MYSPACE YOU CAN CHECK IT OUT ON THERE. HAHA I'M SO GLAD I HAVE SUCH A BEAUTIFUL LITTLE GIRL, THAT LOVES TO DRESS UP AND GET HER HAIR DONE.

SOME OF YOU MAY KNOW THAT I WENT TO UTAH LAST MONTH. I WENT TO MY FRIEND NYCH RECEPTION. HE KNEW THAT I WAS PLANNING ON COMING OUT FOR IT BUT HE THOUGHT I WAS JUST TALK AND I WOULDNT FOLLOW THROUGH WITH MY WORDS. WELL, AS I WALKED IN AND WENT DOWN THE LINE I CAME TO HIS WIFE FIRST (NEVER MET HER) AND HER FACE WAS LIKE AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU. THEN NYCH LOOKED UP AND HIS FACE WAS SERIOUSLY PRICELESS. HIS JAW DROPPED AND HE WAS LIKE "NO WAY, ARE YOU SERIOUS.....NOOOO WAY" HAHA HE TURNED TO HIS WIFE AND SAID THIS IS GABBI. SHE KNEW WHO I WAS ONCE HE SAID MY NAME. I WAS SO GLAD I WAS ABLE TO SEE HIM DURING SUCH A GREAT MOMENT FOR HIM. THEY MAKE SUCH A CUTE COUPLE, IM SO MADE I DIDNT GET PICS I LEFT THE CAMERA IN THE CAR. :(

BUT MOVING RIGHT ON, I SPENT MOST OF THE TIME WITH ERIKA AND HER CUTE LITTLE FAMILY. I DID GET TO SEE MY GOOD FRIEND LAUREN AND HER HUBBY AND ADORABLE LITTLE GIRL. WHILE I WAS OUT THERE I RAN INTO AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE, HIS NAME IS DAVID. IT WAS SO WEIRD BUT GOOD AT THE SAME TIME. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY WE DIDNT DATE BEFORE, BUT MAYBE SOMETHING MIGHT BLOOM IN THE NEAR FUTURE. HERE ARE SOME PICS OF OUR LITTLE ADVENTURE TO UTAH.

KAY GOT ALONG WITH ENOCH SO WELL, SHE NEVER LET HIM OUT OF HER SITE. ALWAYS GIVING HUGS AND KISSES. SHE ALSO REALLY LOVED EPHRAIM, SHE FOLLOWED HIM EVERYWHERE AND SHE WOULD CRY WHEN HE WOULD LEAVE AND GO TO BED. HAHA

HOW PRECIOUS ARE THESE PICS WITH THE TWO KIDS. SHE JUST PUT HER HEAD ON HIS LAP. HAHA AND THEM HOLDING HANDS RIGHT BEFORE WE LEFT UTAH.

I LOVE SHOES, I HAVE SO MANY ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY. NO LIE KAY IS SLOWLY BUT SURELY CATCHING UP TO ME. SHE HAS ALL KINDS OF SANDALS FOR THE SUMMER AND DRESS SHOES. BUT MY FAVORITE ONES HAVE TO BE THE ONES IN THE PIC BELOW. SO CUTE!!!!

MARCH 22ND WAS 2YEARS THAT MY DAD PASSED AWAY. WE STARTED A TRADITION NO MATTER WHAT DAY IT IS, WE ALL TAKE OFF WORK AND GO TO THE GRAVE SITE.

WE BUY 3 DIFFERENT KINDS OF ROSES.

2 WHITE THAT REPRESENT MOM AND DAD, 4 YELLOW THAT REPRESENT US KIDS, AND 4 RED (FOR RIGHT NOW UNTIL MORE ARRIVE) THAT REPRESENT THE GRANDKIDS. THEN AFTERWARDS WE GO TO DINNER AT THIS AMAZING MEXICAN RESTURANT IN DOWNTOWN EASTON. THE FOOD THERE IS SO GOOD. ITS THE ONE TIME EACH YEAR THAT WE ALL CAN BE TOGETHER AS THE KIRKLAND CLAN. EVEN THOUGH HE IS PHYSICALLY GONE, HE WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN OUR HEARTS. THEIR IS NOT A DAY THAT PASSES THAT I DONT THINK OF HIM.

2009-04-20T20:42:00.005-04:00

The good times

2009-01-10T00:03:00.009-05:00

Hey sorry for not posting on a regular basis. Im not good at this, i never know what to say. But here it goes....oh and this is all backwords so you might want to start from the bottom of this post.

Miss Kaydence had to go into surgery on Wednesday. As you can see in the pic above she has a small bandage on her ear. She was born with a sinus track on her left ear lobe and over time is collected dirt and oil which then caused a cyst. She she had the track and cyst removed. That was one of the hardest things to do, right next to the time I was visiting leah. lol But we wont get into that story. Lets just say we were in the ER from like 1am to 5am with a 104.5 temp. But you can see my baby girl is strong and pulled through that and the surgery just fine.

She was actually really nasty right after she woke up. They gave her these 2oz bottles and she downed 2 within 5min. And got mad and threw them, then she started smacking me. Oh that was so hard, i knew she had no idea what she was doing i just felt helpless.

Now she has her own bottle and is much happier.

What a trooper!!!!

My angel on New Years Eve. We had a good time at my sisters house, erika and enoch came over and after we put the kids to bed mom, ash, erika, and me played the game outburst. Heads up to those that ever play with me and erika, i'd recommend going on the other team unless your willing to lose. haha It was fun having erika there, it reminded me of our fun times before idaho and then when we were in idaho. lol

After christmas we all got the flu, this is our second round of it within 2 weeks. It hit Kay really hard.

Kay showing off her new hoody uncle jordy got her.

Jordon making his moves on Ashleys husband Marcos.

My mom made these pants and they turned out really cute, a little big but cute. We like matching them for christmas morning pics.

Pushing around her new baby doll in her new stroller. Sporting the santa hat!!!!

Showing unlce josh her new baby.

She loves this baby, she will kiss it and hug it so tight. She even makes that squeeze noise when she hugs it. So CUTE!!!

Its the first thing she went to when she walked in the room. She was so excited, she stopped at the door and made the biggest SIGH ever.

Christmas morning!!!

Ok so i gave Kay the bowl of cookies to put on her table. She decided that it was a good idea to give them all a good lick. She also dropped them all over the floor. So i knew not to eat them. But in the morning i noticed the cookies were gone. haha yup the uncles ate them. I told them about it which made them a little sick. But come on how funny is that, i couldnt resist not telling them about it.

Update on the past month.

2008-12-21T19:04:00.002-05:00

OK so i slacked off a little bit and didn't post a blog in like a month. I'm actually not sure if i post any Halloween pics so here are a bunch of random pics. I do have to mention it...Kay said "SANTA" the other day and if he comes on TV she will say his name. Isn't that great!!! I'm so excited, she comes out with the most random words ever. She is growing up so fast, at times i wish i could pause it and make the memories last forever

My little mouse/ rat baby!!!

Half the time i miss Sunday school and relief society cause Kay is really fussy(cause its her nap time), so I try to get her to sleep and she fights it as much as possible. Luckily i get some extra help by my mom or Cindy. She wont go to anyone else. :( Within a few seconds of Cindy holding her she was out. Then the bell rang and woke her right up. haha their is no winning.

My mom has a huge collection of snowmen. And we let Kaydence play with the stuffed ones. She loves these guys or any stuff animal.

So I took a few days off last week cause i was sick with the flu and so I took some time and played around with Kay's hair.

I wanted to do something special to Kay's hair for the Sunday before Christmas. so i put foam curlers in her hair. haha and the best part is she let me do it with not to much fussiness. But when i took them out the next morning the curls were way to tight and she looks like she had a afro. So She sat on my lap and i straighten it and it looked so cute.

Kays Christmas dress.

After church we were just relaxing and i guess kay found a pencil and paper and started drawing on it. The crazy thing about it is I never really should her how to do it. She just did it all on her own. She amazes me everyday with the new things she does. I love waking up and watching to see what she will do.

I've been tagged and i'm actually doing it.

SICK

2008-11-12T20:54:00.003-05:00

So getting sick is like a chain reaction for my family. First it starts out with a cough then a runny nose and before you know it one by one we get sick. I hate being sick, all i want to do is stay in bed and sleep but some point in my life i decided to grow up and now i cant do that kind of stuff anymore. I feel so bad for little miss kaydence she has a horrible runny nose....its like a water faucet that never stops dripping. haha sorry but i couldnt describe it any other way. I feel helpless towards her...i wish their was more i could do for her to make her feel better. The worse part is she is teething too so on top of the runny nose junk everywhere she is covered in slubber. Any ideas on how to make her feel better besides drugging her up with meds....she is the worst kid to give that stuff to.

Sad the weekend had to end....

2008-11-10T21:44:00.004-05:00

So this past weekend I had a good friend of mine from Utah come in for a visit. He came in Thursday night and stayed till Monday night. Eddie is his name and he live in orem going to school and working. He is originally from Spain. He is the biggest sweetheart i have ever met in my life. When he came in Thursday we went out and grabbed a late dinner at subway. We just sat and talked, i really enjoyed his company. Then Friday we headed down to Philly to go return stuff and do a little shopping. Which turned out to be a very long and exhausting day. Over 2 hours in a store and only walking out with a nice tie. haha Eddie cracks me up. So Saturday comes around and we all spent most of the day sleeping. The lack of sleep was starting to catch up to us. But then we finally got ready and Eddie being the sweet guy he is took my mom and me and Kay out to dinner. Only to bump into the The vielstichs family and Phillips family. We had some good laughs over dinner. Then he took just me out to the movies to see Max Payne...which was a pretty good movie. The best part of all the weekend was church. You should have seen all the looks and stares we were getting at church. I could only imagine what people were thinking. OHHHHH....Gabbi brought a boy to church. haha I had a lady that is kind of new make a comment about him but called him my husband. I about fell through the floor laughing. I also had to make it clear to some that he is just a friend in for a visit. I'm sure other rumors have started and i will have more questions next week. Continuing on my sister made us a huge pot roast dinner and we had some yummy chocolate cake for dinner. You will not believe how much this kid can eat, i kid you not he had 3 servings and i think 2 slices of cake. Where does he put it all, i think he said he has 5 % body fat on him. That made me sick to think about. haha

Monday....the saddest day of my week. For some reason he thought he wasn't leaving Newark til 7 so we would leave here at 4. He checked his info just one last time and saw it was 5:50 not 7. So at that time we had a little over and hour left to hang out. We went and took some pics, the only pics of the weekend and on my camera i only have 1 good one. Sad....Well now that he is half way home i have to say I'm starting to miss his company already. I cant get over how sweet of a guy he is and whoever ends up marrying him will be one lucky girl.

And the reason for this blog was for those that were wondering who that guy was with me on Sunday. haha And no we are not dating.

A visit to The Pumpkin Patch!!!

2008-10-29T19:55:00.001-04:00

We have a family tradition that my parents started back when I was a baby. My mom and dad would take us kids to the pumpkin patch along the Delaware River. It is such a small but a really cute place. So as we are getting older, we decided to keep this tradition going with the grandbabies. Ashley has been taking her boys every year and so when Little Miss Kaydence came around we made our stop too. The picture on the left was her last year just a few weeks old and the one on the right is her this years. If you couldnt tell. lol What a huge difference, I cant believe it.

See that little tude she is getting......the hand going on the hip and lips out. I think she was getting sick of all the pics. haha

This year the kids weren't really up to taking pictures. They all seemed to have a little attitude. They would pose and when you call them to look at the camera they would ignore you. The 2 oldest boys did it on purpose. Its a new thing Nathan just recently started. It was just an overall bad day for them. We are lucky we got a few good pics. I do have to say they had fun running around and looking at all the pumpkins. The boys loved playing in the leaves. I guess as long as they had fun then thats all that really matters.
This one of Jayden would have been really good if the shadows of the tree werent all over his face. That actually ruined alot of our pictures.

Gotta love Alex and his cute little smile!!!

Here is Ashley and her boys.......I think it is a pretty good picture of them all. They are all looking at the same time, and let me tell you what that was not easy to get a shot like that.

We had a little leaf fight.....

HAHA I dont know what alex was doing but I thought this was so cute of him. He's like karate chopping the pumpkin.

Nathan playing in the leaves and Jayden doing a dance or something. haha Theses kids crack me up!!!

My all time favorite picture of Kaydence and Me!

Had to take some sister pictures, I think they came out pretty good. Except for the fact that I look a tad bit orange. How sad....I kinda blend in with the pumpkins. haha

The last picture of our trip to The Pumpkin Patch....I love this picture of her, whenever I look at this picture all I see is her Bright Blue Eyes. I never would have thought I would get a blue eyed baby.

The Party!!!

2008-10-16T21:57:00.013-04:00

Since Kaydence's birthday was on a thursday we decided to have her big party on saturday. I went with an usual idea for a first birthday....I didnt want her party to be like everyone elses with all pink and purple stuff. And so I thought well since her birthday is in October I could go with a fall theme. I think it turned out pretty cute and wish i got more pictures but i didnt have time and if im not taking the pictures no one does.

Here is the cake I got her....the red looks really bright but it really wasnt. It turned out to be nice and she got her little one which you will see how much fun she had with that.

HMMMM.....is that for me???? Looks so Y-U-M-M-Y!!!!

She really did have fun with her cake. Nathan did too in fact he helped her eat it and was feeding her some of the icing. It was cute!

The cake and icing got everywhere. Even on me, i had to change.

Some family and close friends that came over to wish Kaydence a Happy 1st birthday.

Kelsie, Ashley and my Nanny. Mama Niko

Big D and Kaydence....Caity and Cindy enjoying the homemade soups my mom made for today.

Birthday Girl!!!

2008-10-16T20:06:00.016-04:00

I cant believe she is one are already. I honestly dont know where the time went and it makes me sad. I wish i took more pictures of her growing up. But then i go and look at all the pics and think i took to many. but can you honestly have to many pictures.....i dont think so. So we celebrated Kaydence's 1st birthday as a family at The Texas Roadhouse. Both her uncles work there and since they worked that night we thought we would bring the celebration to them.

Kaydence and Nana waiting for Aunt Ashley and her crew to show up so we can be seated at our table. I'm so supposed she left the crown on. She doesnt keep head bands in anymore or hats on. I'm just glad she keeps her hair clips in.

Kay Bay with Uncle Jordy

Uncle Joshy with Alex and Nate

Ashley here with Kaydence. You know whats really scary is that Kaydence looks so much like ashley when she was a baby.

Thats 3 generations right there....we have 4 but nanny wasnt with us tonight.

Kisses from the birthday girl!!

Texas Roadhouse birthday tradation is to get up on the saddle while they announce it to the whole restuarant thats its your birthday. She liked the attention at first until they got loud which scared her and she screamed and started to cry. But she had fun on the saddle.

Fall Time!!!

2008-10-12T21:10:00.019-04:00

Its fall time one of my favorite seasons. When you can bundle up with warm sweaters and all the leaves are changing colors. Its just so pretty. So last weekend my sister and her 3 boys and kaydence and my mom and I decided to go to Penn Pump Park and take pictures next to Bushkill Creek. With my camera I set the color to sephia and my sister took colored ones. We had a good time taking pictures, it was a blast. Kaydence almost fell into the water and as Ashley tries to grab her she is tripping and almost fell too. Alex just sits there and poses for the camera, i think he could be a little model.

Yes thats right he did in fact hit her. He has a bad habit of smacking her in the head. But she gives it right back to him. She tackled him the other day in the living room. It was funny she had him pinned to the ground. GO KAYDENCE!!!! She rules the house when those boys come over to play.

I love this picture of Alex and Nathan. They just look so cute with the curly hair. It was hard at times getting them to sit still. Alex was good at it and Nathan not so much. He would make weird faces and poses. But we managed to get a few good ones.

Now doesnt alex just look like model. He would serious sit by himself and pose, anywhere he felt like it. I think ashley should put him into modeling. He would do a good job.

This is the end to our great adventure at Penn Pump Park!!!

Another day in my world!!!

2008-09-27T21:04:00.003-04:00

I tell you this girl amazes me. She is honestly comes up with new things each and everyday. She is so funny....where do i even begin. I look back at this past week and i just laugh at the things she did. You may all think im crazy cause shes only 11 1/2 months but i swear to you all she really did say and do what im writing here. I'm usually up between the hours of 6 and 7 every morning for work. And she usually gets up with me and i take her out of her crib so she can play but this one morning i decided to leave her in it. Our room is on the 3rd floor and so i went downstairs to use the mirror in the bathroom. 20mins pass and i go back upstairs and shes looking over the crib at me smiling and i say "HI" and she says it right back to me. I totally was not expecting that but she really did say it. I guess its not a hard word to say.

Yesterday we got up and i was getting ready in the bathroom and she was with me. and i had the door open to my room and she was playing. I leave my shoes at the bottom of the stairs and she started to pick them up and drag them all over the place. My mom was in her room and was watching her and she made a comment but was cut off by kaydence. She said "gabbi you should get" and kaydence says basket. I was shocked and think to myself basket and then to my mom did she just say what i think she said and my mom goes it was clear as a bell. She finished the sentence for my mom. I guess they both think i need a basket for my shoes. haha The best part is my mom had a basket in the bathroom full of laundry and Kaydence starts picking up my shoes and putting them in the basket. She really did make her point and i guess i will have to get my own basket for my shoes.

Besides her coming out with the most random words she is now copying everything i do. I was clearing my throat the other day and next thing you know she was doing the same thing. She carries around a purse too. I guess the missionaries were over the other day while i was at work and she was carrying her purse around and the one wanted to help her put stuff in it and he grabbed and she put up a fight and wouldnt let it go. haha She cracks me up. She is such a big flirt with those missionaries too. They were sitting behind us at church last week and she would not let them out of her site. She was smiling and giving them that guggly eye. I think im gonna have some problems with this little munchkin and those boys.

This is kind of an old picture but it goes to show how silly she can be. She's kind of a Jason Castro fan (from american idol). haha

Summer Fun!!!

2008-09-22T20:59:00.019-04:00

Hey your all, so i finally was convinced to make myself a blog. I'm bad at this kind of stuff, but i thought i would give it a shot. I'll keep you all updated on lil' kaydence. She is growing up so fast...she will be a year old Oct 9th. And you will not believe it but she is up to 23 1/2lbs. haha She started walking not to long ago. So i imagine the weight will start shedding but either way she is still adorable.

So now that she is walking and getting around on her own she discovered the stairs. She is so funny, this is the face she made when i caught her. Tried to use the puppy dog eyes and the little whine. Yes, it worked i'm a sucker for that cute little face. Speaking of faces...she has this new one she makes. I dont know where she got it from but its cute. Look at those big lips. haha She really keeps my life entertaining. I could not imagine life without her.

We took a trip out to Utah and Idaho back in July and August. It was a blast...i couldnt ask for a better baby on the plane. She slept the whole time from the time we took off to when we landed. And thats even with 2 stops. Kaydence finally got to meet her great grandma and grandpa kirkland from idaho.

Granpa Kirkland with Jordan and Jordon. lol Grandma Kirkland with Jordan and Tiffany and her husband Mike. This was at the family reunion in Twin Falls, Idaho. The Kirklands always have a good time when we all get together. It has been a long time since we all were out there together as a family. I'm thinking about moving back out there to be closer to them all.

We did alot of site seeing up here in idaho. We stopped in Sun Valley and had lunch. Took a bunch of random pics while we were waiting for our food. Kaydence and me...she was getting so hungry.

Then we headed up to this way pretty overlook. I cant remember the name of it but once you reach the top its like 8, 701 ft. It was just amazing to see it. You cant find anything like that here in PA. The only bad part about the drive was no guard rails on some parts and it was a huge drop off. Im so deathly afraid of heights that i was freaking out. To make it worse Josh was driving like a crazy person on purpose.

Ashlee, me and Ashley at the top of the overlook.

Can it not get any prettier than that....i was talking about the mountains in the background.

As part of the family reunion we all went to the Twin Falls, Idaho open house. It was so amazing to be inside this temple its absolutely beautiful. I cant even express how amazing you feel when your inside the temple and im sure most if not all of you know what im talking about.

Us girls being totally random and having fun with the camera. Ashley, Ashlee, Erica, and Me the last night in Utah.

Even though Josh and Jordon were not getting along at the moment they suck it up and took a family picture infront of the temple. We havent had a picture of all of us together in a long time. This was our summer vaction!!!
