Happy 4th Anniversary!

Sheehan and I had about a month long anniversary. First we started in February and pawned off Lincoln to my cousin Amber (he loves her) so that we could have an evening (and good night's rest) all to ourselves. We ate at one of the best restaurants (Ruth's Chris) then walked downtown Park City. We booked an awesome hotel right in Park City.

 

Can you tell we love food and are compelled to take pictures of the beautiful creations?!

Our room was on the 3rd floor up. It even had a hot tub on the balcony AWESOME!!

Our room looked just like this. 

We headed off to kneaders in the morning for one of our favorite's, Kneaders French Toast...mmm.

On our actual anniversary we went to the temple and then ate at one of our favorites TEPANYAKI! (I'm beginning to think we have too many "favorites") 

Once again, amazing food and company. I'm happy to stick with this guy forever. 

This was our wedding cake topper. Unfortunately it broke but at least we have some pictures of it.

Koda's Time In Our Life

We took Koda (Alyssa's Dog) in for a couple months. He is a great dog and Lincoln LOVED him! He would chase him, lay on him, pat him, and Koda took all the "love" with patience.

He's a good pup.

 He thought there was something special in this bag. It took a while for him to get the bag off his head.

 Me eating lunch on the couch while the beggar on the left and the little beggar on the right licking his lips stared at me...

Lincoln loved playing on Koda's fluffy bed.

 Koda wore out after we took him to the park. For a good sized dog he curled up in the tiniest places.

Koda loved to follow us throughout the house and be with us. Even in Lincoln's tornado alley he managed to catch some Zzz's.

  

We couldn't keep him and now he's with a family that is very good to him. Lincoln and I loved having him for the short time we did. 

Colleen's Visit and the Hogle Zoo

Colleen came to visit for her birthday towards the end of February.

She was so good to play with Lincoln.

We went to the Hogle Zoo! Linko and Colleen were wore out! They had to take a breather while we were in the Giraffe pavilion.

Walking the zoo.

Colleen spoils all the babies. Even the furry ones. Koda, Bagheera, and Linko were in heaven.

Kiley and Link at the zoo!

 Siblings. Showing off our booties like the giraffe.

Link and Kiley watching the elephant do tricks. 

 Me and my brown bears. In another life I'd be a brown bear. 

Lincoln, Colleen, Me, Julianne, Kiley, Lexi, Alyssa, and Devin hanging out at Hogle Zoo!

While Colleen was here we also celebrate her 62nd birthday and took a trip to the new, giant Scheel's sporting goods store. We enjoyed having Grandma Colleen around. :)

Birthday Cake Practice

We celebrated Lexi's first birthday with her and Lincoln got some practice eating a big slice of birthday cake. He downed it. Gotta love the pink bib.

 The party gang!

The lively party crew! haha Cousins!

Best Friends for Over 15 years

Kohly and I were able to visit earlier this year and it was so great to let our cute boys play together while we visited. I love this lady and we always pick up like we've seen each other everyday.

Weddings and Blessings

This is Katie and I at her wedding in June 2012. I wanted to make sure I had it somewhere. Katie's one of my best friends and we've done a lot together. Before we were married to our spouses we were glued at the hip. 

I love this family picture we took at Jacqueline's baby blessing.

From Left to Right: Uncle Eddie, Auntie Ondra, Deven, Kiley, Alyssa, Lexi, Suzette (mom), Julianne, Devin, Jacqueline, Me (Kiersten), Sheehan, Lincoln, and Kevin (dad). 

Devin did a great job on the baby blessing. My mom rehearsed with him the proper way to hold up the baby after the blessing for the congregation to see her and the beautiful hand made dress Julianne made for her. Despite the rehearsal, we still got something that resembled this. Little Baby J had her dress all around her neck with her cute belly and tights showing. It was cute, and the whole congregation was giggling between their awe's.
