We got some Sunshine!

Finally, after weeks and weeks of being indoors we actually had a some what warm day and decided to take our little girl out to experience the OUTDOORS. Of course daddy had to bring his gun. 


She was so giggly and happy. I can't wait for Spring!!


All plugged up and ready to go!!





We were curious to see how she would react to the loud gun shot. When she got scared I stopped recording but as soon as I did she started giggling really hard. Our little princess might actually be a tom boy in the making..time will tell!

2013 in a flash

It's crazy to think that the beginning of 2013 Judd and I were new newly weds without a baby. This past year has brought a lot of changes.


We moved from our little studio apartment in St. Anthony to Miller


We moved into the trailor behind the Dew Drop Inn from Feb-May. 


Shortly after moving (actually the day after we moved) we found out we were expecting


We got away from the motel for a few weeks and made a huge road trip back east to visit the Hursts


We moved into our first rented HOME. I will ALWAYS love our little house on Broadway. It was the perfect move for Judd and I. And we made a TON of memories there! 


We spent the summer going to Louise Lake, the city kiddie pool and this water park in Huron trying to stay cool!

A spent a lot of my pregnant days cooking (which wasn't the greatest idea since it made me gain about 60 pounds) But it was a goal of mine to learn to cook better.





Then when I got to the point I couldn't get any bigger....




...we welcomed our little girl to the world


My parents came down for a few days and while they were here we had Kherington's blessing.



My parent's were very generous and took me and Kherington back to WA with them and bought us airline tickets back. It was really nice to be around my family and let Kherington's aunts and uncles meet her. 







We love our little baby girl. She is so expressive, alert, smiley, loves to chew on and stick out her tongue, has the darkest, craziest hair I've seen on a 12 week old Caucasian baby, loves music and making noise, loves water, bath time is her favorite time of the day, a pretty good sleeper (putting her in a crib in her own room since the 2nd day home was the greatest thing we've ever done) Just last night she slept was 7 1/2 hours straight woke up to eat and then took a 2 1/2 hour nap. She's so kind to me most of the time. 

Judd turned 26
Judd has always told me that growing up birthdays weren't really a big deal. Makes sense when his birthday is Dec 22 and his mom's is on Christmas but this year I wanted to do something special for him. Starting at 8AM Judd opened a present every hour and he picked out his dinner and cake. Zuppa Tuscana and rolls and "OMG Double Chocolate" cake. His big present was a pair of Double H Cowboy boots. 

Judd and I had so much fun this year buying presents for each other for Christmas!! Judd was even able to keep a couple of them secret.

The gift that will be a big part of 2014 is our new in home gym.

2013 really was good to us!!
