Blast from the Past!

So for our weekly playgroup this week was at Chuck-e-Cheese... I had not been there in probably over 20 years! My first thought was, does that place even still exist?! Sure enough it does! It was like a blast from the past going in there and seeing the mouse and all of the games!

The Scary electronic Mouse!!!! He's super creepy... McKenna agreed!

Big Babies!

Both our babies are gettin big!!! Here I am 34 weeks... and counting... everyday! It's just too hot here to be preggers!

McKenna gets bigger and bigger everyday too! She also gets funnier! It is so funny how kids copy things that you do! The other morning she was eating breakfast with Chris and she saw him drinking his milk out of his bowl... then the next thing we knew...

She also loves playing the wii with dad...

Lake Powell Weekend!

We spent Chris' 26th birthday weekend and the 4th of July at Lake Powell!!!!

It was an absolute blast! Chris' fam met us down there with the boat! I was a little nervous before we went since it is hard to stick to a schedule with a 16 month old when you are at the lake... but she did sooooo good!

Nana, Madi, McKenna, and I stayed the night in the Marriott while Papa, Chris and Jaclyn camped it out! :) Hehehe! It was perfect and couldn't have been more fun!

McKenna was in HEAVEN playing in the sand... it's so soft it feels like silk! I'm glad she had other's to play with her in it too!... I was good watching and taking pics :)

Lake Powell was so gorgeous!

McKenna with her Daddy on his Birthday!

This was the one family shot I got... so not a good picture, but this was one of those trips where you didn't ever see a blow dryer or curling iron... so don't look too close!

McKenna being Captain of the boat!

More time in the sand!
My absolute favorite part was watching McKenna try and walk around with a Ginormous dipey butt! (Swim diapers are way too expensive to wast on the lake :))Happy 26th Chris and Happy 4th of July! We got to watch some great fireworks, ate great food, and had so much fun!

stubborn???

I am now 32 weeks! This past week I had my second 3D ultrasound because our first 3D ultrasound was not successful! We have decided our second daughter is either A. super stubborn or B. a major snuggler! Both times she had her little face snuggled into the stomach so we had a very hard time getting a clear picture! We'll hope for B....

I loved the shot of her little leg!

We will most likely be induced about a week before she is actually due since Chris will shortly after be starting school! This puts it only 7 weeks out.... WHAT... crazy! I recently got out all of McKenna's newborn clothes and it made me very excited!

Meanwhile McKenna hasn't been any easier getting pictures of lately either! It is a pure miracle if I get one of her looking at me yet alone smiling with open eyes! So although I take MANY... few make it here! (sigh) oh well! Yesterday we went to a birthday party for one of McKenna's friends! Her mom did a great job and it was hawaiian themed!

Here is McKenna choosing to not look at the me no matter what I bribed her with :)

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to Chris!

He is the best daddy any girl could wish for and the most amazing husband! Every day I thank my lucky stars that he picked me to marry and that my daughters get to have him for their Daddy!

Thanks for being so perfect Chris! We love you!

Utah Trip!

After Chris' finals we headed to Utah for a week! We were excited to get a little family vaca in before Chris started his research project! We loved seeing family, playing cards, and doing lots of fun things!

Here is how McKenna likes to travel! She has to have her blankey, Doggy, Pony, and of course the bink!


The day after we got there we got to see Jaclyn graduate from high school!!! Go Jaclyn!

McKenna with her Papa and her Nana before church!

Chris and I were super excited to go away for a night while his parents took care of McKenna for us! We went to Tucano's, temple square, and then went to the Anniversary Inn and stayed in the Egyptian room!

The ceilings were a little low (especially for someone who is 6'5!)... It was supposed to be like we were inside a pyramid! They give you cheesecake and sparkling cider at night and breakfast in bed! Life was good!

Chris was in heaven on the boat of course!

Seriously... He was in heaven! :)

We also went to the farm at Thanksgiving Point and saw all the animals! McKenna loved it!

This horse was a little too close for her liking! She wanted Chris to back up!

They had animals all over you could pet and they also had a hay ride!

We were excited to go and had a lot of fun! We came back to Arizona and to 110 degree weather... so hopefully I will survive the summer! So far we've hit the pool everyday we've been back! I think we'll be there a lot!

1 Year Down!

Well 1 year down .... a lot to go... but we'll focus on the 1 year down! Last Friday was Chris' last final for his first year of medical school! Here he is afterwards at our celebratory lunch! He's a little happy! :) Don't look too close though... you'll see bags under his eyes because he was soooo exhausted!


This summer he will be doing a paid research project, (what exactly?... um... he's explained to me many times... and I still don't get it so you'd have to ask him!.. something to do with cancer though.) Although he's going to be working during the day we are still so excited to have him in the evenings and the weekends without studying!!! On Thursday we are headed to Utah for a week and then we'll be here in HOT AZ waiting for the arrival of baby girl Fowler 2... or what we've decided to name her... McKenna 2! (It is the only name we have agreed on so I guess all of the kids will just be named it!:)
