Ocean Shores/Last Minute Belly Photos

I have been so jelous this whole Summer reading about all of your adventures and finally I am able to post about something fun we have done as a family. Jerrod has been so busy with work and he is finally pretty much done with APX so we have had some time to spend together. We decided to take a little family trip this last Saturday to Ocean Shores. It was SO much fun just getting away for the day to spend it on the beach. We wanted to take Kennedi somewhere fun before all of the craziness happens with the baby coming.
There are a lot of pictures, and even a ton more, but I picked out a few to tell about our day.

Kennedi getting ready to hit the beach!
Kennedi and Daddy on some huge rocks. It was so beautiful out there!

We actually saw about 4 dolphins close to the shore. It was very cool.

Kennedi is so lucky to have the best Daddy in the whole world. He loves playing in the sand with her. I just love watching them together!


Kennedi LOVES the beach, but hates the ocean. She doesn't even like being on her Daddy's shoulders out in the water. As you can see, she was mad and wanted her "MOMMY!"
We packed a picnic lunch. It was even yummy with sand mixed in everything!



I just love this Spiniach Artichoke dip. Jerrod kept asking me if I was done so that he could put it back into the cooler and I told him, "I want to be, but I just can't put it down!!"
Kennedi loves looking for rocks. They are her treasures!

Mommy and her little girl!



"LET'S GO FLY A KITE"
Jerrod and I talked about how much we loved flying kites and hadn't done so since we were little. So, we decided to go out and buy our first kite together and fly it out on the beach. The weather was perfect for it. I don't know what it is about flying a kite, but it is so much fun! Kennedi loves butterflies, so we bought a butterfly kite.


The kite is way up in the sky. You can't really see it from this picture, but it is up there!
Kennedi pointing it out to us.


Chasing the birds!



This is the only picture we got of us together. It was just too hard trying to juggle the camera and Kennedi at the same time. But this is a pretty good one. I am so lucky to be married to such an amazing man.

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
