Once a year the girls of our family try to get together for a girls only weekend get a way, this year we went to Vegas. One of my favorite places for shopping, food and very interesting people watching. The 8 of us flew down and got to spend 3 nights at the Palazzo Hotel (thanks to my mom) doing nothing but shopping, eating, playing by the pool, and lots and lots of walking. It was one of the funnest trips I've been on because I love the amazing girls that I went with. Kennedy is definetly my child because she loves shopping just as much as I do (I've created a monster, Sorry Chris!) We had such a blast!

I love these girls!

This is Sophie, Syd's beautiful daughter

She is one of the best I've ever met at giving this look, SO Funny!

I got Kennedy these Hello Kitty boots earlier that day, she thought they were 2

purses because they have little handles. She would not let them go and even fell

asleep with them, How precious is that?

We saw this crazy lady doing this exact same pose the night before

we took this picture. We could not stop laughing and had

to recreate it for our own picture.

Looking fabulous in our sweats!

Kennedy's 1st trip to Disneyland!

Not only did we run in our race but we also did 1 day at Disneyland. (1 day is enough when you have to deal with Chris & a 1 year old at the same time, Chris isn't a fan of rides) But we did have alot of fun for the short time we were there. Kennedy got to go on some rides and see some characters. I think it was more fun for me to watch her reaction to the things she saw than anything else! We had alot of fun on our trip, especially with both of our parents being able to be there. I'm looking forward to bringing her back here next year!

I thought she was going to be scared to see Mickey, but she wasn't

more in ahh than anything else! It was cute to see her with them!

We got this Minnie Mouse night gown for her at Disneyland

She LOVED it! Her first night gown, how cute!

The Pew/Smith/Smart gals

(except for Jodie, I don't know where she was for this)

This was her favorite ride (I think because she got her very own horse)

With me, my mom, & Stephanie and her family in front of us.

She loved it!

Disneyland 1/2 Marathon!

Over Labor day weekend Chris and I ran in the Disneyland 1/2 Marathon, along with my sister and Chris's cousin Stephanie. It was such a fun race that I highly recommend to anyone interested in doing a 1/2. We got to run through Disneyland, California Adventure, The Anaheim Angels Stadium and the finish line was right on Downtown Disney. Not to mention it was my PB at 1:51, It was a BLAST! My parents and Chris's parents all came down to watch and support us, They're the best! We're so lucky to have them as our cheerleaders!

Me, Chris and a tired Kennedy at the finish line!

all very happy to be done!

We did get a pretty sweet medal out of it!

It looks like I have 4 arms in this picture, but there is actually a man behind

me who was trying to get the spectators to cheer for us on the home stretch!

Go Chris!

What's Going on with Kennedy?!

I know she's only 18 months but she has shown alot of interest in going on the big girl potty, so I thought I'd take a wack at potty training. So today we got Kennedy her very own potty that's just her size AND she went pee in it. I was so excited I started dancing and singing and jumping around so she would get excited and want to go potty in it more often. It sings every time you pee in it and she loves that, she gets all excited and a huge smile comes across her face! So the first day of attempting potty training was in my eyes a success, hopefully we'll have more of those in the future! Any tips?? I'd love to hear them!

Kennedy also loves to climb into the dryer when I turn my back for longer than 2 seconds! She's such a little monkey! She's growing up so fast right before my eyes. She's such a little chatter box, She copies every word that comes out of my mouth (even the ones I don't want her saying!)She's such a great little helper, she thinks she's so big and can do everything. She especially loves helping me clean the house. I love her so much and I'm so grateful everyday that I'm her mom!

My 25th Birthday!

This post is about a month late (my birthday is July 18) I'm the worlds worst blogger! But I thought better late than never! So, I have the greatest husband ever! For my 25th birthday Chris told me we would be going to dinner to a place he would not disclose, and somewhere else after that, that he also would not disclose (He does things like this all the time so I didn't think anything of it) We were going to drop Kennedy off at my moms and then head off to dinner. When I walked into my moms living room...SUPRISE! There was a room full of all of my family and friends. Chris threw me a suprise party, how sweet is that! I had so much fun hanging out with everyone, a few of them I don't get to see very often so it was great! Thanks Chris, for being the best husband ever! I love you so much! Happy Birthday to me...one month late!
