I turned 29 on April 28th! Thank goodness for my one year before 30 cushion!! Gregg liked to joke about how he's married to an almost-30-yr-old! Ahh... isn't he just so funny!! I was definitely spoiled!! It turned out that I had a shoe themed birthday this year! Gregg planned a nice dinner out with some of our friends. We are really lucky to have some great friends here who not only care for us, but love to be with Kaylen. They are all so good to her. It was so great to spend my first birthday as a Mom. Kaylen truly is such an incredible gift in our lives and each and every day, I am so incredibly grateful.
Leslie came down from Logan for my birthday dinner!! It was very sweet of her with just a couple days notice to come down!! It was great to have her! This was Goliath's first trip to our apartment! Jay could only stay for 1 night, so we figured by the time anyone would have a chance to complain about the puppy, she'd be gone. He actually did really well!! We loved having him here! Kaylen had a bit of a love/ dislike relationship. She struggled when he would come too fast or too close, but she always wanted to know where he was at all times! He is adorable!! It was so nice having them here!
We finally got the boys and their babies together for a picture!! Jason and Doug, who are brothers, are good friend of Gregg's. And it's super cute that our babies range from 8 months-11 months. We talked a long time about getting together and finally did just a week ago! From left, Dough and Jordan, Gregg and Kaylen, Jason and Dane. The kiddos had lots of fun together. Doug and Steph have four kids and they are adorable!! We had a good time.
Here is our sweet little girl. This was also my first Mother's Day!! Gregg let me sleep in AND me me delicious blueberry pancakes!! We went to church and then spent some wonderful time outside!! It was great!! I ended up picking out a necklace from a catalog that I ended up hating. So, today, we actually picked out something to replace it! Gregg spoiled me as this new necklace is a bit nicer than the one I picked out previously!! I have the most wonderful family. They make it so easy to be me.Kaylen turns 1 in just two weeks (June 4th)!!!! Holy crap! I really have NO idea where the time went! She likes to stand up by herself now. I don't know how close she is to walking, but I'm just fine with her taking things at her own pace! She blows kisses when she wants to and claps when you say, "Yay Kaylen!" or clap with her. She loves to wrestle with her Daddy. And in just two short weeks, she'll be one... big sigh. Sometime after she turns one, she'll head to the first toddler room at daycare. I already have anxiety about her leaving the infant room. We (especially Kaylen) are super attached to those girls. But hopefully, she'll enjoy the big kids and adapt well. We're planning a big party June 12th (also my Dad's birthday!) for her. Gregg's family will come from Wyoming and Logan and my parents are planning to fly in from Minnesota. They say the 1st party is mostly for the parents and I'm all for it! It's a great way to celebrate with family and friends that love her. It's a big milestone!! As they same, time flies and I've never realized just how fast it does until Kaylen came along!!
Gregg takes the MCAT in two weeks (May 27th). He is doing such an amazing job studying and preparing for it. He studies many hours a day and takes practice MCATs, which are 4.5 hours a piece!! We are so proud of him. His tutor through his prep programs also sings his praises. He has worked very hard and continues to work hard. We will be hoping and praying that his test results reflect just how much he has put into it.
