Is that water green?

Saturday we had a fun boating day with the Anderson fam. It was such a great feeling to be out on the lake and to get back on the ski! It was pretty much heaven for me, skiing, sun, and lots of snacks! Maycee loved the boat and slept nearly the whole time, even when ACDC was blaring from the speakers. I think she will follow in her mother's footsteps and be a boater at heart. Maybe when she gets older she can convince daddy to get a boat. KC got out on the wakeboard to prove he has gotten better than me, then after a little wakeboard run myself, I showed him who is the best on the slalom. I was a little worried because it was the first time I had been out since the baby. But, once my feet got back in those boots it was like I never had a break. I am sad I couldn't get a picture of the whole crew, but the camera was running low on battery and died every time I tried to get a group photo. A huge thanks to Randy and Kristin for taking us out and letting us invade your house. It was a blast!!

Our cute boating baby!!

Way to go KC!!

Back in my element!!!

Welcome Sophia Emily Burdette!!

Maycee welcomed her newest cousin, Sophia Emily last thursday August 7th. She was born around 7 pm to very happy parents, my brother Blake and his wife Emily. She is doing so great and looks just like her mom. We are so happy you are finally here Sophia!!!

What a cute Family!

Can you believe how great Emily looks??!! Guess that is what happens when you only push for 12 minutes!!

Proud Grandpa!! Look how big Maycee looks...it makes me so sad!

The TRUE California Experience

Last week we celebrated our 4 year anniversary. Its hard to believe its already been that long! We have sure been through a lot together. We took a little jaunt to California on Monday night and came home Tuesday night. Just long enough to experience the beach and two wonderful meals. On Tuesday morning, we took Maycee for a swim at the hotel pool, then as we were in our room getting ready for the day, I noticed the windows shaking a bit and thought it was weird the wind was blowing so hard. As I turned and saw all the furniture in our hotel room shaking as well, I realized we were in an earthquake! Yes, we were in the 5.4 magnitude earthquake that jolted the Los Angels area last Tuesday morning at 11:24 am. K.C. jumped out of the shower all soapy and dripping wet, and we all huddled in the doorway of the bathroom and rode out the 12 second tremor. I brushed it off as not much, considering I have been in bigger ones. But, as we watched the news I had to laugh because they made it out to be such a huge deal. You would think that living in California where earthquakes are a somewhat common occurrence, they would brush it off as well. Nope...they were talking to all kinds of experts and receiving personal accounts from various viewers, it was quite entertaining.


We finished getting ready while listening to the hotel manager announce to all guests that there had just been an earthquake, as if we were trying to figure out what just happened. We then headed to In-N-Out for a delicious burger (animal style of course) and chocolate shake. Then off to Santa Monica Pier to walk it all off. It was a bit overcast but it soon burned off and we were able to enjoy a wonderful sunny afternoon at the beach.

We then headed down to Anaheim to meet KC's relatives at his favorite little hole in the wall mexican restaurant called Mexi-Casa. Along with the drive down the freeway came the traffic, another California exclusive. What should have been a 30 min drive ended up an hour and a half drive. When we finally arrived we enjoyed the much anticipated chips and cheese. I think KC was on cloud nine while he devoured them. The drive was well worth it to see KC's cousin and cute wife and kids and Uncle Jimmy and Aunt Stefanie.

Then it was back to the airport for a plane trip back to the great state of Utah. It was fun to celebrate our four years of marriage experiencing all California has to offer. From the great food, to the traffic, to the beautiful beaches and even an earthquake! Love you KC! Hope all our anniversary trips are this adventurous!


**Note: the lack of pictures stems from my memory card going corrupt last week. I have a team of enigineers working on retrieving the photos. I will post photos if they are recovered.

Can't get enough...

Maycee is so cute to me today for some reason...not that she isn't always cute, but today there is just something about her...

Maycee's First Baseball Game

Every 24th of July K.C. buys 24 tickets to the Bees game and we take family and friends out for a night full of baseball, hot dogs, peanuts, sunflower seeds, and fireworks. There is nothing better than a summer evening at the ballpark. This was Maycee's first trip to see the boys of summer, and she loved it!........



Maycee even got her very first ball during the 2nd inning!......


And loved sporting her new Bees hat.....

And cuddling with all her aunts, uncles, grandparents, and friends........

After the game we got to go out onto the field to watch the fireworks....

Maycee LOVED the fireworks! She cuddled with her daddy and Angels blanket, sucked on her binky, and watched the whole fireworks show with eyes wide in amazement! She was so much fun!

Maycee's Blessing

Its about a week over due, but at least I am getting to it. Maycee's bleesing day was perfect. KC gave a wonderful blessing and it was so awesome to see all those preisthood brethren gathered around our little baby girl. From KC to our dads and even my 101 year grandaddy. It was nice to have everyone over after to catch up and enjoy some yummy food. I really feel bad cuz I don't feel like I got to really see and talk to everyone, so if I missed you, I am sorry!! Thank you to all that came and for all the help everyone offered. Maycee is luck y to have such wonderful family and friends that love her so much!!

Glen, Blue, & Miley

We made the trip down south to the Stadium of Fire to celebrate the 4th this year. I think our favorite part was Glen Beck. Blue Man group was cool, but they only performed for about 20 minutes. Mily Cyrus was the main attraction. She was ok, but we were mostly waiting for her to be done so we could see the fireworks show and get back to Maycee (thanks chuck and tami for watching her).

KC's favorite...the fly over!

Family photo op before the show...Maycee's first fourth of July!!

Six Weeks!!! Can you believe it...

Today, our little one is officially six weeks old! Its seems like I just barely found out I was preggo. She has been so fun and so trying too. I can not believe how much I LOVE that little girl. A little about her right now:

• she LOVES to swing!
• she only wakes up once a night, and will sometimes treat mom to a full six hours
• she is begining to smile when we talk to her.
• she is almost outgrown all her "newborn" clothes...that makes me sad.
• her facial expressions are classic!! (just a couple shown below)
• she loves watching the ceiling fan, she is mezmorized by it (also shown below)
  

Last week at the doctor she was 9lbs 12 oz and 22 inches. She was 90th percentile for her height and 75th for her weight. Hopefully she continues to grow tall...basketball here we come!!

Love you Maycee Jane!!

She spotted the ceiling fan...

Check out those chubby cheeks!!

Froncey is married!!!

The reason for our long trek across the country to Washignton DC was for our good friend Mike Fronce's wedding. We are so happy for Mike and Courtney and could not have asked for a better gal for our favorite guy! Mike and KC were roomates when we were dating and Mike was my stand in boyfriend all those nights that KC was working. Anyone who knew us before we were married could atest to the fact that Mike was always with us and I wouldn't have had it any other way. Mike is one of the greatest guys I know...Courtney scored a catch too! We love you guys and hope the honeymoon is fun!!
