10th Anniversary 6-25-2014

We had our 10 anniversary on June 25th. We didn't do much for it as Matt got off work that morning and needed to sleep, we needed to help prepare my in-laws house for their 50th Anniversary party 2 days later, my sister in-law, Kristine and her family arrived in town, and we had a special trip planned in July to getaway for 3 nights.

I did celebrate by having Matt take a photo shoot in my wedding dress with my wedding bouquet that we will be having a burning party later for this summer. I had a goal to have it fit, once I started my work outs in January. Made it to my goal and then some. Best part was Kara being there.

Will be burning this sometime this summer!

Kara giving me a kiss. Yes she kisses by licking you!

Free tickets to Children's Discovery Museum

I won free tickets to the Children's Discovery Museum last minute, so I asked a neighbor friend to go with me. It was less busy than the last time I went and Kara was able to walk this time. It was a lot of fun. 

June 2014

I swam 2 miles for the first time in my life. It took 1 hour and 40 minutes doing the backstroke the whole way without stopping, but I did it!

Evening walk with my mom. Kara and her always seem to be dressed alike. 

Checking out her sunglasses from Katie. Doesn't leave them on too long but loves to play with them for a bit. 

 One night, Kara decided that she wanted to be cuddle before bed. So I of course did, and she ended up falling asleep on me. Loved it!

Kara and her Dad, or as she calls him "Matt"

Turkey to the rescue. I was having a horrible night and I was able to call up Turkey and we went to a movie. She saved me and Matt and Kara too as all I wanted to do was cry around them. 

 Kara isn't very coordinated and her head has paid the price for it. 

Cousins and a trampoline. Need you say more.

I got to watch my "other girls" dance this year at their recital. Matt had to work, so I went to show our support and love for them. 

Kara's first smoothie. She loved it. We now have one at least 3 times a week. 

Kara got her 15-month shots and ended up being sore and having a fever. All she wanted to do was cuddle and sit on your lap. We felt bad she was is pain but loved the cuddles.

Short lived surprise

I wasn't sure I was going to post this when I put the pictures on my computer, but decided it happened and it will be part of our history, so why not.

June 19th - I took a pregnancy test and it said "pregnant". We were surprised and excited. Kara helped let her dad know once he got up from a nap.

Some days later, I had a miscarriage. BUT we have our Kara-Bean and love her with all our hearts, so it wasn't as traumatic as the miscarriage before we had Kara. Maybe one day it will happen again? Who knows?

Father's Day 6-15-2014

Father's Day was simple. We got Matt some shoes and socks for a present as that is what he needed. He was also off from work so we got to spend the whole day with him.

We saw both of our father's too for a brief moment.

Kara's new bike

Kara loves getting on the bikes at my mom's, so I decided to get her one from the DI.

She loves it!
