PHOENIX PHOOD

I haven't been blogging lately and I'm sorry!!! Things have just been so busy! I thought I would take a second and post about Jake's new hobby. Many of you know we LOVE to go out to eat. Since we moved back downtown we realized how many cool places there were to eat here in the area. Jake decided he wanted to start a blog and review some of the places. It's been so fun! Well if you get a chance, check it out. If you have any suggestions for places to eat then let us know!

Kennedy Dancing ~ Globtrotter Game

Kennedy's dance studio had the opportunity to perform at the Harlem Globetrotters game at the US Airways Center. It was so much fun and she did an awesome job. We love our little dancer!
Watch the video below!

It's been a while!

I haven't been very good about my blog! I'm sorry! I decided I would at least put up a couple pictures of the kids the I took this last week. Jacob is 5 months today and I can't believe it!

My 2 little puppies!

Jacob is growing up too fast! I love him sooo much!
Look at her! She is 2 going on 20!
Having fun outside. Kennedy is pointing out an airplane in the sky for Jacob.
So cute! I'm so blessed to have 2 amazing kids!

What I am thankful for!

I know Thanksgiving was last week, but I'm just now uploading pictures so now is my chance to put up what I'm thankful for!

My beautiful, silly, adorable, crazy, stubborn, loving little girl!

My little angel baby and my amazing husaband.
I couldn't ask for anything more! I'm so blessed!

Busy Week, Random Pictures

This past week has been so busy but so fun. We had Jacob's baby blessing and lots of family in town to celebrate. Somehow I didn't end up with very many pictures, sorry! Here is everyone at the church on the day of the blessing (L to R: My daddy, Joel, Michael, Jeanette, Me, Jacob, Jake, Kennedy, Jordyn, Jim, Jacki, & Brooks). Thank you for coming to visit! We loved having everyone here!

Here is Kennedy showing off some moves and entertaining us all. I'm so sad I didn't take any pictures of her and Jordyn. They were so cute together. I'm sure Jacki will have some good ones though.The Sherrill family with my daddy! Thanks Dad for coming! We loved spending time with you and your grand-kids love you so much!
Jacob has had a couple of play-dates in the past week. There were about 8 people all pregnant at the same time here so there are lots of new babies! First picture: Jacob and Eden Hill. They got along so well. She even spit up on his blanket :)
The 3 amigos! Jacob, Lauren Cooper, and Joey Jones. The fight is on to see who will end up with Lauren in the end. They have a few years to work that out though.

My 3 loves! This picture makes me so happy! This is my favorite time of day, when everyone has just woken up and are laying in bed all together! I am the luckiest woman in the world!

Fair Skinned Dancer At The Fair

Kennedy had her first dance performance today. She did so great! They got to perform at the Arizona State Fair and she had such a blast. Below you can see the video of her dancing. She is the pale white girl, 2nd in on the right. :) After she got off the stage she said, "I want to do it again!"

So smiley in her dance outfit! We love her so much!

Here she is with her 2 teachers (they are twins) and 2 other girls in her class.

Cute little Kennedy girl! In case you can't already tell, we love her sooooo much!

1 Month Old

Jacob is now 1 month old and has already decided he wants to be a basketball player just like his daddy! :) I bought these super cute basketball shorts for him as soon as I found out I was having a boy. He is growing so much and looking more and more like Jake everyday! He has long skinny legs like his daddy as well! WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH!

My Wonderful Husband

Just wanted to take a moment and tell my hubby how much I love him! Jake has been wonderful these past couple of weeks. It's been a big adjustment going from 1 child to 2. The worst part has been the night time feedings for Jacob and then having to still have to wake up with Kennedy. I have been quite tired and grouchy to say the least! Jake has been soooooo good at taking Kennedy to dance and making sure I'm able to get some rest. Thanks Babe for all you've done! I LOVE YOU!

Crazy 2 Weeks!

The first 2 weeks of this baby's life have been a bit crazy to say the least, but this little guy has been such an angel through it all! I can't believe how fast he is growing. We just love him so much!

2 days after he was born my mom drove down from Utah to help me out. She had to bring my 5 year old brother, Matthew, with her. This was the beginning of our adventure! Kennedy being 2 and not knowing how to share sure had a hard time learning how to handle her uncle! This picture below was one of the few moments they weren't fighting over the same thing. Glad I had 2 tutus!My sister Erinn also came out to help and brought her 18 month old daughter, Athena. Here they were, their 1st morning all together. About the only calm moment the whole time everyone was together :) But they were so cute just watching their cartoons!
This is what things usually looked like. Fighting over Grandma's purse!
We got out of the house and spent the morning at the train park near our home. Here are Auntie Erinn, Athena, Grandma, and Kennedy all on the train.

Grandma with her grand-kids and Matthew! Thanks for all your help mom!

Me and my little sis! One evening we took all the kids to Chick-fil-a and let them go crazy in the playplace! It was perfect and we(the mothers) were able to just sit and talk.

3 car-seats in the back! It was great to see everyone, and if I hadn't just had a baby I probably would have been a lot more fun! Thanks Erinn and Mom for all of your help!

Also, if you were wondering how Jake handled it all, he didn't. haha He went out of town for work! It was probably a very good thing that he did too! :)

He's arrived!

Jacob has finally arrived and he is amazing! We are so excited to have our new little addition to our family.

After a very long day at the hospital I finally got to the point where it was time to push! You can tell I was happy about that.

3 pushes later and out he came! He was so perfect weighing 7lbs 4oz and 20 inches long.

Emotional but so proud Daddy! :) Jake was amazing and now has his perfect little boy. THANKS BABE FOR ALL YOUR HELP! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

We got to leave the hospital the next day so here is little Jacob in his car seat when we got home! I have to say I think he is the cutest little boy ever!

Our first morning home together and they are already laying in bed, with their binkies, watching their shows together! I love them both so much. Kennedy is so excited to have a little brother!

Almost Done...

We are getting into the home stretch of this pregnancy and I'm getting pretty ready and uncomfortable enough to want to have a newborn again. Only 4 days left till my due date but based on my last doctors visit he doesn't seem too eager to come out. Jake is planning to go on a business trip on the 30th so the doctor has me scheduled to be induced on the 28th just in case he doesn't come on his own before then! Well just wanted to update everyone on where we are! Feel free to pray that he comes sooner rather than later for my sake!!! :)

Jake and Kennedy playing basketball

Jake plays basketball every Tuesday and Kennedy LOVES to go and watch him. This week we got there a little early so she was able to play with him.
NOTE: This video is not for the faint of heart.

3rd season and still going strong!

Football season has started again, and after much debate we purchased ASU season tickets. Our first game was last night and of course we had a blast! The first 3 pictures are of Kennedy over the last 3 years. She has grown up so much! :(

Season 1 ~ 2007

Season 2 ~ 2008
Season 3 ~ 2009
I can tell this is going to be a fun year. Kennedy had a blast watching the game and cheering!

Here she is really paying attention to the game while laying on Daddy's shoulder.

Also, our friends, The Strattons, purchased season tickets for the row behind us! It was fun to have them there.

The girls kept each other busy!

They insisted on hanging on this railing for a good majority of the game. Don't freak out, we watched them very closely! It was so much fun, and ASU beat Idaho State 50-3. WAY TO GO SUN DEVILS! Hopefully only 2 1/2 more weeks and Baby Jacob will be here and ready to go to the games as well. :)

Happy Birthday To My Hubby

First off, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE! He's the big 29 today! This year I wanted to do something really special for him. He's been putting up with a pregnant wife and about to have a 2nd child so I wanted him to relax and have a really fun birthday. We started off the morning by going and picking up this Porsche for him to drive for the day. It turned out perfectly! I blindfolded him and got him out of the car just as the guy brought it out revving the engine. He was so surprised!

The 3 of us headed off to breakfast at Butterfield(they have amazing waffles). This was Kennedy in the backseat. She was having a BLAST!
I set up a round of golf for Jake at TPC Scottsdale, which is where they hold the PGA tour here in AZ. He has never played it before so I'm glad he will finally get to do that! Kennedy thought that she was going too.

Jake's friend, Chris, was gracious enough to take the day off of work to go with him. What a good friend! Here are the boys, driving off to the golf course in the Porsche with golf bags in the back. What a rough life they have! :)

I hope you have an awesome birthday, Babe! I love you so much and you deserve everything in the world, but a Porsche for the day will have to do for now! LOVE YOU!!!!

My Dream Home ~ Coronado Island

If someone ever asked me, if you could live anywhere, where would it be? I could never really give an answer. I could always find good and bad things about any place...that is until we went to San Diego. I fell in love with Coronado Island!! The picture below is of my dream house. Pretty much its small town America on a beautiful, sunny, and breezy island. All the streets are lined with cute cottages and beach homes like these! Only problem is to just buy a small place on the island starts at about $1million. We are currently taking donations!

It was a little overcast that day but I loved it! This is the view from the park looking out to the ocean. This little park is where they hold soccer and football practice. It was so cute to see the kids running home from practice! :)
Kennedy had the playground all to herself! She was happy! Behind the playground is the gate of the Naval Base there. Another plus....American pride EVERYWHERE! Can't beat that!

Finally, being able to run and play outside. I think we could get used to Coronado Island! :) Maybe one day! If you haven't been there you need to!
