Pool Day

We went to my moms house yesterday for some fun in the sun!! It was Cadence's first time in a "big" pool and she LOVED it! She is my little water baby. She gets so much joy out of splashing the water. I just love to watch her play. She loved playing 'Ring Around The Roses" with mommy!

My neice Leigton and nephew Gavin also joined in on the fun! Earlier in the year I bought Cadence and Leighton match bathing suits. It was so much fun to finally see them on!

Hopefully the weather will warm up so we can enjoy a summer by the pool!

4th Of July Fun

We celebrated 4th of July with family and friends at our house! One of my best friends Mandi and her family came to celebrate with us. It was so much fun to watch Cadence play with Mandi's kids Brynn and Cooper! I bought a kiddie pool and the kids had so much fun splashing around together!

I loved having everyone over to celebrate our independance!

We Are FINALLY Home Owners!

We got the keys to our FIRST house on May 28th!!! We are so excited to be homeowners and to have a place to call our own. I never thought this day would come way back in December when we signed our intent to buy. It was so much fun to watch the house being built from the ground up. Ken and I were able to see every stage of the house from start to finish. As soon as we closed escrow we ordered our shutters and hired painters to come in and add a little color to the house. We didnt actually move in until June 4th. It has been a little over a month and we are enjoying getting all settled in. I am having so much fun decorating while Ken loves to tend to the yard. Everyone in the neighborhood is so much fun and we really enjoy hanging out with our neighbors across the street. I am so excited to watch Cadence grow up in this house and to create memories as a family!

Jenn's First Mother's Day

Yesterday was an exciting day for me as I celebrated my first Mother's Day! I feel so blessed to be Cadence's mom. She is the closest thing to perfection that I have ever seen. This time last year I was 5 months pregnant and spent most every day trying to imagine what being a mother would be like. All I can say it is everything and more that I pictured. Being a mom is the best thing that ever happened to me besides marrying Ken of course :)
We spent the day at Ken's sister house in Huntington Beach. Each year The Cotton Family hosts a champagne brunch for all of the mothers. This years spread was the best so far. Everything from home made omlettes to a carving station was set up. It was great because all of the men cook while the women enjoy good company, good food and free flowing champagne.
