1st Swimming Lesson!

Kennedy had her first swimming lesson on Wednesday. She wimpered for the first 5 minutes of the lesson because she wasn't too sure about it. But after that she did great and loved every minute of it! It was so much fun to be in the water with her and watch her face while she learned so many new things. Chris was there to take pictures and my mom & sister came to be Kennedy's cheering section.

She refused to look at the camera for a picture so Chris took one of her bum in her cute new swimming suit.

Our little family, before the class started.

kick, kick, kick!

Under the water

and back up!

She did so good going under water for the first time with the instructor,

she didn't cry or anything.

Kicking on the foam pad with the instructor.

Floating on her back was her least favorite part, she cried when we tried it.

She got better each time though.

All finished!

We had so much fun!

A Few Random Pics of my Girl!

I think she looks like a little hippie in this picture!

I love my girl!

I see you!

She looks like frankenstein when she walks, but she's getting good at it!

Training Begins...yet again!

I've enjoyed having a nice break from training for the last couple months, but now it's time to get back to business! Every January training begins for the races of the upcoming season. The first one on the calendar is the Salt Lake half marathon on Saturday April 18th. It's such a fun race to do if your a first timer or a seasoned runner. If anyone is interested in running this race with me and a handful of others I run with let me know, we do our long runs as a group on Saturdays and we'd love to have as many people as we can! The more the merrier!

HaPpY NeW YeArS!

We celebrated New Years this year by rockin' out to our good friend Debbie Brockbank and her band "24-6" at The Rock and Roll Academy. They were SOOO good! It was such a treat to be able to listen to them all night. Chris and I had such a blast with my parents while Kennedy enjoyed spending some time with grandma & grandpa Pew. I hope everyone had a great New Years as well!

Debbie is a true rocker! Her band was awesome!

Happy New Years!

I wish Neil didn't look high in this picture but it's the

only one I have of him with Chris and I.

My awesome parents rockin' out to Debbie's band!

Kennedy on her 1st Christmas!

Grandma & Grandpa Pew

Opening presents with Grandma Pew

Oh, I love my new baby!

Opening presents with Aunt Sierra at grandma & grandpa's house

This was the look I got from her everytime I opened up some clothes that we got for her, then she'd go right back to playing with her toys. I guess the clothes were more of a present to me than to her cause she did not care!

Kennedy LOVES Mickey Mouse, so this toy was a hit!

Kennedy loved walking around the house with her new toy.

It was so funny to watch!

Christmas Eve with the Greens!

Every year on Christmas Eve we celebrate with our great friends the Greens. We had such a blast this year! They had karaoke set up so Sara, Emily & Sierra put on quite a show. (They were the only ones who were brave enough to do it.) Thanks for a great night Greens, Love you all!

Chris is tone deaf and I'm a chicken so we

watched the karaoke instead of joining in.

We're lame, I know!

Kennedy wanted to sing too!

I love these girls!

Emily & Amy Green

This is Beckam, Erin & Nate's little boy.

The most hansome kid I've ever seen! What a GQ face he's making here.

Emily & Sierra (along with Sara) were our entertainment for the evening.

They did some excellent karaoke! So funny!

Sara is the funniest person I know! No Joke!

I could not stop laughing when she was performing

her karaoke to Pinks "Get this Party Started"

Watching the crazy girls do some karaoke.

Christmas with the Smarts!

We had so much fun celebrating Christmas with everyone, it's always such a fun time when we get together! Thanks for being the greatest family ever! Love you all!

Me and my sis

Syd gave these mustache's as a gift and we couldn't resist trying them out.

Even Kennedy joined in on the fun!

Isn't it creepy how much Kim looks like her dad when she has a mustache?

(Never grow a mustache Kim!)

Neil can't stop laughing!

Gary got the mustache party theme rolling!

Syd & Griff.

Due to have their baby girl any day!

Hangin out with Gram & Gramps.

We all drew names this year & Paige drew Kennedy's,

here she is helping her open it.

It was the cutest gold & white shirt from the gap, SO CUTE!

Thanks Aunt Paigey!

After the opening of the presents is over.
