Quick visit to CA!

My parents flew me and Kylee out to CA to visit them for a quick surprise birthday trip!! We had so much fun hanging out with family, going to the beach, shopping, eating out and swimming. There wasn't much time to visit any friends and I'm sorry about that, but hopefully I can visit everyone next time. Kylee did great on the plane ride. She is easier to entertain now. I bought new Elmo books, stickers, and other random new toys that kept her attention. She loved saying "hi" to all the passengers.

Fun at the beach! Sand everywhere!!!!

Kylee and Uncle Reed

Kylee loved playing in the backyard and smelling the flowers with Grandpa.

She also loved the hot tub. I'm pretty sure she went in every night! Luckily it cooled down enough at night to enjoy it.

Kylee and Aunt Lacey playing at the park. Kylee had a lot of fun even though she looks mellow.

She loved playing Grandma's piano.

Me, my beautiful cousin Christie, and Kylee. Christie is off to ASU this fall for school. I know she will have so much fun!

Kylee and Grandma at Aunt Lisa's house. Kylee loved their dog Coco. She chased her around the backyard all afternoon. Great entertainment.

We got to see my brother and sister in law Scott and Mary and their boys Tyler and Travis. Kylee had so much fun playing with her cousins.

Kylee loved seeing Grandma Murdock. She would sit in her lap and let her read her books. We sure miss not having Grandparents close!

Travis and Kylee having a fun time watch cartoons.

Kylee loved it when Travis would push her on this train. It was so cute!

Here are some video's from the trip. I hope they turn out!

Happy 4th of July!!!

We took advantage of the warm weather this weekend and spent a lot of time swimming at the pool. Here is Kylee getting ready to go!

Kylee and Maylee ran around the baseball field the whole time waiting for fireworks to start. Kylee could have cared less about the fireworks, but Jeremy and I enjoyed the show.

Our friends Amos, Julie and soon to be baby girl!! Julie's due date was July 3rd. Hopefully she comes soon!!! Love Kylee's pose here... lol.

Kylee last year on the 4th of July when she was 6 weeks old.

Thanksgiving in July?

We have had a turkey in our freezer since last November and it has been taking up WAY too much room. Jeremy suggested we cook it and kick off our 4th of July weekend with a turkey dinner. I was nervous to cook a turkey because I have never been on that committee. Luckily, with the help of my friend Nikki we were able to get the job done. She took out the neck/guts and I put it in the oven. We are quite a team :) I could NEVER cook one by myself. Raw turkey grosses me out!!!! Here is the whole gang ready to eat. The beautiful golden turkey....

I even attempted my first homemade apple pie. It was yummy! Kylee and Maylee getting ready for dinner.Later that weekend we had our first family outing to Taco Bell. If you can believe it there aren't too many of them out here. For some reason Jeremy and I were craving crunchy tacos (well I guess it was mostly me). We gave Kylee a quesadilla and she loved it! Don't worry, we won't be going here too often ;) A worker gave Kylee a balloon and she loved playing with it. It allowed Jeremy and I to eat our dinner in peace :)

After Taco Bell we headed to our favorite homemade ice cream place, The Cup. Here is a picture of Kylee and Maylee playing in the grass. It looks like Kylee just pushed Maylee over but they were rolling around in the grass together, I just missed the shot.

The last part of our pre-holiday weekend, some friends of mine all went to see Eclipse! It was nice to get out without the babies, except for Lincoln. He is such a sweet heart!!

Suprise!!!!!

We are expecting baby #2 on December 12th!!!

Family comes to town!!!

Last week Jeremy's parents and sister came to visit! We were so happy to have them come and we had so much fun! Kylee was so shy the night they came in she glued herself to Jeremy...but she warmed up to them pretty quick and loved having her Grandma, Grandpa and aunt Lacey all to herself. We started the weekend off by having a family birthday party for Kylee. Grandma and Grandpa Murdock and Aunt Lacey spoiled Kylee to death and she loved every minute of it! Here is Kylee and Grandma with her new doll that laughs. Kylee cracks up whenever she hears her laugh.

Kylee with all of her presents! She loved opening them and laughed and smiled the whole time.

We were able to visit the Gettysburg National Military Park. The museum was awesome and you could have spent all day in there reading about everything. Luckly Kylee slept in her stroller most of the time so mommy and daddy could enjoy it too.

Kylee liked the Abraham Lincoln statue.The battlefield
Our next stop took us to Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey PA! I couldn't believe how much candy they make/sell here. As soon as we parked we could smell chocolate! They had a fun little car ride that takes you around a "pretend"factory. It reminded me of a ride at Disneyland. Kylee did really well and loved watching all the chocolate being made. She especially loved the singing cows!!! She kept saying, "moooo.."

Ok, I know I look gross but I wanted a picture of this huge chocolate bar!!Kylee just chillin' in her stroller. She loved wearing her lady bug sun glasses that Grandma Murdock bought her. It was so cute. Later that week we took Jeremy's family to downtown Philly. We showed them Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, and some other sites. Here we are with a dressed up tour guide. We even saw Benjamin Franklin's grave site. The whole fam with our shades ;)

Kylee and Daddy. I love this pic!

Kylee with Grandma. Kylee loved it when Grandma would read her books!

This is what Kylee did most of the time. I think we exhausted her with all the traveling and driving! Its great, she SCREAMS when she is in her car seat, but when we get to our destination and it's time to see things, she falls asleep :)

We took this pic for Grandpa Murdock. She's starting young! Don't worry, the lid is on :)

Kylee really bonded with her Aunt Lacey. She loved playing with her, especially this peek-a-boo game on the floor. It was so cute!

This picture is from our shopping trip to Peddler's Village. Silly me forgot the stroller, but luckily Kylee wanted to walk the whole time!!! She had so much fun with Aunt Lacey and Grandma.

In this last picture Kylee is wearing her new shoes Grandma and Grandpa bought for her. When Kylee was being fitted in the store she was screaming!!!! Poor thing does NOT like strangers near her. But she loves her new shoes and looks so grown up!!!
Thank you sooooooooo much to Grandma and Grandpa Murdock and Aunt Lacey for coming the LONG way to visit us! We had so much fun and appreciate everything you did for us. Can't wait to see you again soon!!!! We love you!
