The Kennedy Wedding

At the beginning of May we traveled over to Sacramento, California for James' sister, Karen's wedding. Karen and Sean were married in the Sacramento Temple on Saturday, May 3rd. Their wedding was amazing. They sure had a good sealer marry them.

Karen looked beautiful! And Sean didn't look too bad himself ;) We are so excited to have Sean in the family. He fits right in. Lincoln especially loves playing with his new uncle.

Here are some pictures of the boys playing at Grandma and Grandpa's. Linc refused to wear his swimsuit. That stubborn kid.

It was an exhausting,  fun weekend...

Congratulations Karen and Sean!

Happy Birthday to Me

We finally got some new white blinds! We suffered through our previously HUD home's green wooden blinds for too long.

James was a little annoyed with me at first because it all started with a rug I bought with my birthday target gift cards (thanks family)! Then I had to paint a wall to match the rug...then the blinds didn't match... Anyways. I'm happy to enjoy my bright living room for at least a couple months before we move.

Springtime Fun

We had a wonderful Easter this year. We managed to squeeze in a fun little "treasure hunt" before we made it on time to our 9 a.m. church meetings! We had some really good Easter lessons about ourSavior's life. Easter Sunday is definitely my favorite Sunday. When we got home, James and Linc took a nap while Koby and I dyed some Easter eggs together. Over the course of a few days, Koby ate ALL of the eggs we dyed. Who knew he loved hard-boiled eggs so much?! I didn't even get a chance to make egg salad sandwiches, haha.

Both James and I forgot to take pictures, but we went to James' Aunt Diane and Uncle Norman's for a potluck and a fun Easter egg hunt with the family. It sure was a wonderful Easter Sunday.

(Don't mind the horrible-colored, blurry phone pictures)...

On the hunt.

We were having fun making creepy floating heads!

In April, I had the privilege of taking the boys to Thanksgiving Point twice.We had such a fun time both times we went. Koby loves the little curiosity/discovery room for kids at the Dinosaur Museum and Lincoln loves the pony rides and feeding the chickens at the Animal Farm.

Little goofs!

With this pregnancy I have had to have 3 or 4 ultrasounds to check on the little guy. At my last ultrasound in April, the lady privileged us with some amazing pictures of our baby...

31+ weeks 

You can't tell in this picture, but he has James' "cleft chin". He also looks a lot like Linc to us! We are excited to see how accurate the pictures are when he is born in just a few weeks!

The baby is measuring about two weeks bigger, with of course his head measuring about three weeks bigger...Thanks James! Lets hope delivery doesn't hurt too much ;) 

Oh and for the third time, he is definitely a HE.

A Bitter-Sweet Change

Last month, James got accepted into a few top MBA schools-Carnegie Mellon, University of Virginia, and UCLA. He was also on the MIT wait-list for a while, which makes me proud! After a lot of study, prayers, and back-and-forths, we decided on UCLA. James starts school mid-September. So, LA here we come! Lucky me, I always get to pack up our homes just weeks after having a baby. I guess it is better than packing up while 9 months pregnant.

We are excited to live by James' sister Lisa, her husband Dave, and our soon to be born niece :) We have some good friends that live down there too...it should be fun. We will definitely be sad to leave our wonderful friends and family here. I really don't know what we are going to do without our sisters and brothers-in-law living nearby. It makes me sad to think of that. It is weird to leave Utah when it has been home for the last 9+ years.

In preparation, our house went up on the market yesterday. It sure has come a long way in the (almost) 3 years we have lived here...

Here it is when we bought it:

And here it is now (James' sweet cousin Tara took these pictures and is helping us sell our house):

Don't worry...It says "Linc" above their bookshelf :)

Lets cross our fingers someone else will love our first home as much as we have!
