A Walk to the Park!

Today the weather was so good we decided to go on a walk to the park, we had such a fun time!  I took some pictures a super cute little video of her that I thought I would put up here on the blog:
Cortney found a penny on the way there, she kept saying "A coin! A coin!" 

 She loves driving at the park!

 This is a picture of her riding the dinosaur at the park.

 This is the park we usually go to that is 2 blocks away from our apartment, she loves it!

 She loves the X's and O's - she knows both of those letters so she loves playing with them at the park.

 She has gotten very fearless lately - she has been climbing a lot more!

On the walk home she was walking like this for a while, I asked her what she was doing and she said she was a dinosaur and then started growling - the video doesn't have sound because I took it on my little camera.

 For some reason the video does not want to load, so I will come back and edit the post and add it later.

This is Cort after she saw some bugs, she had to lay there for like 5 minutes and only got up after I told her it was time to go home and eat a grilled cheese for lunch.

I am so glad the weather is better!

My Fake Graduation! Part 1: The Pictures!

Well....it is not a completely fake graduation, I will be done with school soon, but since my mom was walking the school let Jen and I walk early with her so we could all walk together...can you say picture op?!

We had a ton of fun, this post will be all the pictures, and I will post some videos on the next post.

First a cute story about Cort:

Right before we left to go to Rexburg for the weekend, Cortney and I went to pick up Chris from school.  When we got there, Cortney got excited and said, "Daddy's House!"  At least we know Chris is putting in the time to get through grad school...

Here are a couple pictures that we took at my parents house...

 I like this one...Jake is lurking in the background...

Here is a picture Jen took of us in the car...

 Here are some pictures in the new conference center thing on campus - it was a beautiful building!

Cortney and her Honey Bear - looking at someones phone...  Oh and I am sure you can see her little boo-boo.  We were playing at the park one day and I look down and suddenly she had this big scratch on her face :(  oh well at least she is looking tons better now!

She fell asleep standing up during the commencement and just fell forward on the chair.  Mom, Jen and I were all sitting with the graduates...that is why you don't see us in these pictures, but the next one is us walking by.

I am not sure where we took this picture of her below, but I liked it

 Another one of Corntey

 Basically it was awesome because my dad was able to hand all of us or certificate holders - just holders, me and Jen wont be done for another semester or two.  But my mom will get her certificate in the mail in about a month or so.  We walked right next to each other in this order
Jen, Kim, and then Mom

 Mom getting her certificate

 Here is all of us with dad in his cool robes too!

 This is a picture of everyone from our family that came - you will notice that Cortney is wearing my hat, she loved it!

 This is Jen and my Grandpa, ok silliness aside he was not this grumpy he was just checking to see if the lens cover was off and that is when the picture was taken.  He looks better in the one with me

 Picture of Jen

 Another one of Jen, I got all of these off her camera - we just used video for ours so there are more pictures in this post of her than me.

 This picture is super cool - Jen really loves it so I thought I would post it here...

 Picture of me and Chris, making a face of course, something would be wrong if he didn't

Picture of me and my certificate

 Since we lived in Hawaii and had a couple of graduations there, we cannot really go a graduation without getting a couple of lei's, but we almost forgot to put them on, we only got a couple pictures with them.

 Another picture of all of us together!

 Picture of mom, yay mom way to go!

Cortney loved the hat, she had to wear it for the last couple minutes of pictures, we were all joking saying that she wanted to graduate too, here a couple pictures of her and the hat!

 This picture just about says it all!

So here are the pictures from Jens camera, I will post more when I get the video camera plugged in and uploaded, might not get it done until tomorrow though, for now it is time to celebrate.

Little Update...

Well things have been busy around here, mainly because I am in the middle of my finals, as of today I have 3 classes down and 2 to go!  I haven't posted much but I thought I would do a little up date.

Over conference my parents and 2 youngest brothers stayed at our house for a couple nights.  They had tickets and we just live so close to temple square, and of course they came to see Cortney!  It was a lot of fun having them over.  while they were here Jen came over for a little while and she said to me, and I quote:

"Kim, do you need a shoulder workout?!  Because I have two workouts that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!!!"  I put the last couple words in caps because she said it with such enthusiasm.  I just could not help but put this in the blog :)

Also today we left to go to Wal-Mart and pick up some groceries and we came home to have our building all closed off because the subway next door had a gas leak.  Luckily Jen lives near by so we just went over and hung out for a little while.

This weekend we are going up to Rexburg again, should be tons of fun!  Well I better get back to finals now...
