Birthday Eve.

This little guy turns 1 in just a few hours.

It was this time exactly last year My water had broke and i was getting ready for his grand entrance.

What an incredible year.

Both mine and Kevin's lives have been richly blessed by this sweet little spirit.

I have to admit the last few days have been a little bittersweet.
We have had so much fun in California and had an amazing day at Disneyland, but my mommy heart is breaking just a little as I think back on how fast this year went.
In the blink of an eye our dependent little 5lb baby has changed into this walking sassy little toddler.

I'm not ready for him to be so grown up yet.

--------------

We are so glad you came to our family Hunter.

You are such a little charmer and we love you.

Happy Birthday Eve Hunter Edward.

So my parents came to visit... Again :)

I feel so blessed to have amazing parents who get to visit Utah often.

And I mean often!

And I TOTALLY love it.

I am constantly reminded how LUCKY I am that I get to see them as often as I do even though they live 700 miles away.

In the last 5 weeks my parents have come to Utah 2 TIMES each (in 3 separate trips).

(Not to mention the previous times they have already been here this year)

That has to be a record!

We always have such a great time when they are here and this time was no exception.

My sister McKenna got to come along for a few days as well.

We started off with a Memorial Day BBQ at my sister's house.

(See previous Blog Post here)

This visit included many game nights, a homemade sushi dinner, welcoming home a fallen soldier, shopping, yard work and a huge family dinner with all of the Utah Goold's.
