Back to Texas

Tuesday we flew back to Texas and this was Kennedy in the airport. I told her that Auntie Kirsten was picking us up and these were the faces she made. Such a sweetie! :)

California Vacation: San Francisco

Monday was our last day in California and we wanted our last day to be the best! What would be the best way to spend time in California..... yep... GIANTS GAME!!!! We left our hotel/house in Oakhurst late Monday morning and headed to our next hotel in Pleasanton. Pleasanton was about an hour away from the city and cheaper to stay. We got to the hotel and hung out for a little bit and then headed to San Francisco. We went to the Giants game that night and Kennedy LOVED it! She slept for about 30 minutes of the game and stayed awake the rest of the time. She really enjoyed her time and got to stay up late! As soon as we got in the car (about 11:30pm) she was out on the way back to the hotel.

This was her adorable smile when Daddy told her he was taking her to the Giants game

On the way to the City

She was excited here

Kennedy with her cousin Caden and Daddy, she looks so amused here... LOL

The three of us! :)

In front of AT&T Park

I'm not sure how she slept with all that noise but she did for about 30 minutes

Then she was wide awake and had a great time!

California Vacation: Yosemite

Sunday we went to back to Roger, Becky, and Kathy's house in Mariposa for the last family reunion scheduled event. They had an absolutely delicious breakfast with coffee cake, fruit, and amazing egg casseroles. After our breakfast and morning visit we headed to Yosemite. Ryan and I had been backpacking a few years prior but we were very excited to take Kennedy! She stayed back with Grammie, Auntie Kelli, and her cousins for a nap while we went and hiked (actually ran most of the way) to the top of Vernal Fall. It was absolutely beautiful and amazing. Takes your breath away. Sad that we couldn't take Kennedy up there with us but way to dangerous and steep. Maybe in a few years

Falling asleep on the way to Yosemite

Napping with her cousins Kayleigh and Caden

She loves her hands

California Vacation: Oakhurst and Yosemite Mtn. Sugar Pine Railroad

Saturday we spent the day out by the pool at our hotel. Ryan's parents got a room and on the hotel property there was this super cute 3 bedroom house that all the "kids" stayed in. It was so awesome because it was a great place for us to all hang out. That night we went to Yosemite Mountain Sugar Pine Railroad. It was so much fun. They served us a delicious dinner and dessert and then we go to ride a few miles on the railroad to a campfire and sing songs then back on the railroad to the starting point. Kennedy's eyes go so BIG when the train tooted it's horn. She loved it. When we were going up a hill the train had to work so hard that the steam was blowing stuff off the trees onto all of us. It was quite humorous but we had to cover Kennedy up so she wouldn't get stuff in her eyes. What a FUN adventure for her.

Hanging out at the pool

With her other cousin Caden: This is Ryan's brother (Mike's son)

Mike's wife Julie and daughter Kaitlyn weren't able to make it due to Kaitlyn's swim competition: Caden LOVED Kennedy! It was real cute!

Oops... we were looking at the wrong camera: Here we are on the train

She's like uhhhhh what are we doing? hehe

California Vacation: Oakhurst and Mariposa

Friday morning we left Chico and headed to Oakhurst. It's about an hour outside of Yosemite and about 30 minutes from Mariposa where the reunion took place. It was a long trek, about five hours without stopping but of course with Kennedy it took much longer! Us three rode with Ryan's parents, Rod and Sandy. It was a lot of fun with Kennedy. She was soooooo good and only cried one time because she was getting hungry. Poor thing... I felt real bad for her. I rarely can get her to take her pacifier but for some reason this trip she was loving it in her car seat. Soothed her and helped her to sleep on the long ride.

We stopped at Matt and Kimberly's before leaving so we could follow each other. We had a blow out and after changing Ryan decided to put her in Kayleigh's chair. So cute! :) We'll have to get her one of these soon.

Out during the car ride

Hi Momma... you're really gonna make me sit in this thing all day!?

With Daddy and Auntie Kelli

We arrived in Mariposa Friday night and had an AMAZING dinner at Roger, Becky, and Kathy's house. It was delicious! Becky made this scrumptious hot fudge sauce! I ended up getting the recipe! :) THANKS!

They had name tags for everyone and Ryan and I's said (Kennedy's Mommy or Daddy) underneath our name....so sweet!

Their backyard was beautiful and they had a great pool. Daring Daddy took her in the water. Let's just say it was brrrr..... COLD!!! She didn't even seem to mind. Poor thing was super cold when she got out but she seemed to think it was worth it.

California Vacation: Chico

We headed out to California for Ryan's family reunion. We had a blast! Our first stop was Chico where Ryan's sister Kelli and her husband Scott live (baby Haley on the way). Ryan's brother Matt also lives there with wife Kimberly and their two kiddos Owen and Kayleigh. We had a great time in Chico and Kennedy did awesome on the plane ride out there and the drive from Sacramento to Chico. She was such a trooper. Kelli let us borrow Haley's crib and she slept wonderful there. We arrived in Cali Wednesday night and stayed in Chico until Friday am. She got to see her first movie... well not sure how much she was "watching". The whole crew went and saw Toy Story 3. Very cute!!!

Meeting her Uncie Matt and cousins: Kayleigh and Owen

Kennedy also go to visit with auntie Kelli's horses. They have 5 acres and a beautiful property. Can't wait until little K can run around there. She wasn't to sure about the horses.

She was giggling like crazy in the tub

Out on the way to the movies

Getting ready for California

WE are getting excited and getting ready for our California trip tomorrow! :) Kennedy was such a trooper. I tried a bunch of outfits and clothes on her to make sure they still fit before packing. Had to be sure to bring extra clothes in case of a blow out! :)

Spending some time with Daddy

Love this hoodie: She looked like a boxer! :) hehe

Talking to her Jungle

Pool Time

We took Kennedy to the pool today for the first time! It was veryyyy HOT but she did great and the water cooled her off. We stopped on the way there and Daddy ran into Walgreens and picked out a pair of Tinker Bell sunglasses... sooo cute! She really enjoyed the water and loved being outside. Her hat and bikini are just adorable. Ryan's parents got them for her! Sooo cute, thank you! :)

Getting ready to head for the water

I'm not sure about this yet

Hey this isn't bad

Daddy noticed the boys with water guns getting close

After water was splashed on her, hehe

That's what you can expect from being at a pool :)

She was like, hey where did those boys that splashed me go?

This is fun

Relaxing afterwards

This was on our walk last night, she was exhausted!:)
