SUNDAY SWEETNESS....

Sunday was a good day. Kennedy was finally better, so we were actually able to stay for ALL 3 hours!!! I had some great lessons, and felt the Spirit. It was very nice. Also met a few new people....I grew up in the ward we are in, but man has it changed. Lots of "new" people.....and now I am one of them. =)

After lunch I decided it would be fun to take Kennedy up to Bridal Veil Falls, since I don't think she has ever seen a REAL waterfall, in real life anyway....mostly on Dora, Diego, or Wonder Pets. When I told her where we were going, she even said something about how the Wonder Pets were going to help us.....ok....?? =) After we got her socks and shoes on, she got behind me (we were on the floor) and gave me a big bear hug from behind. Then as she pulled away she grabbed my hair and played with it for a few minutes. (that's not a rare occasion....she actually has an OBESSESSION with my hair) But, then she said, "Mommy, your black hair is so pretty!" So sweet!! I am so grateful to have her in my life!!! Oh....and as we were getting close to where the trees kind of creat a tunnel on the trail, she said, "Look Mommy! A rainforest!"

And, don't you worry....as you can see the sun is out in this pic, and about 20 minutes later it started POURING on us!! Yes, we were soaked by the time we got all the way back down the trail and to the car, but Kennedy was such a trooper!! That was our Sunday. It was great! (and now I am sick....so that sucks)

GIRLS WEEKEND!!!

Yes, I am talkin bout me and my Sweet Pea. Friday night we went and got groceries (I know, exciting, right?), then came home, painted our fingernails & toenails and then watched Shark Tale.....2 times. =) Kennedy thinks it tickles to get your nails painted.


Saturday we went to lunch with my friend Annie. Then Kennedy hung out with her uncles while Annie & I went to the temple. It was so nice!! That was my first time back at the Timpanogos Temple since....Oct 28, '04. I had forgotten how beautiful it was! It was great to be able to go with a friend too!! =) After the temple, we came and picked up Kennedy & went to Provo to a craft/boutique fair. Maybe I can be a part of it next time..... ;) There were some fun and creative things to look at. Then since I had been telling Kennedy we would go to Chuck-E-Cheese's for quite some time now, and haven't followed through, I figured.....Hey, why not tonight?! Not like we have anything else going on. Needless to say, she was STOKED!!! Annie met up with us again there, and we had some fun taking some pics in their sketch booth. The first one, WOW! No warning/waiting period. As soon as I pushed the button, it took our pic immediately...LITERALLY!! (I think Annie's face is the best!)


Kennedy scored with 280 tickets. She got a microphone, some little case thing, a frisbee throw-er, 2 suckers and a purple comb....which she uses! =) It was pretty fun, but MY favorite was when we were leaving. Not BECAUSE we were leaving, but because of what Kennedy said. "Cheese is my best friend." (meaning, Chuck-E-Cheese...the mouse) I thought that was kind of cute.... then, as I was pulling out of the parking lot she said, "Mommy, I need my microphone." So, I handed it to her. Then she said, "Mommy, can I listen to Rock Star please?" Rock Star, is what she calls Pink's song 'So What'. So I put it in, turned it up a little and she sang her little lungs out....into the microphone!! (I drove around for a bit letting her have fun....she sang her heart out, until she passed out!) I was wishing SO bad that I had my camera, and that it was pitch black outside!! It was AWESOME!!
