Don't Drop Your Laptop

So earlier in the summer I made the mistake of trying to pick up both Katelyn and my laptop at the same time and the end result was that I dropped my laptop. :( Sadly, it didn't work after that. So I took it into the Apple store yesterday and found out that my hard drive is totally done for. And because we never quite got around to getting an external hard drive to back everything up on that means all our pictures and everything are gone. :( I'm going to send it to a data recovery specialist to see if it's possible to get anything off but even if they can it will probably cost $1000 or more. So first off if any of you have pictures of Katelyn that aren't on our blog I would love to get them from you and also if you don't already back up your computer some how I would strongly recommend that you do so.

Beware of Flying Objects

A couple of weeks ago one of the attorneys at Tyler's firm invited us to go a Diamondbacks game with him and his family. The firm has a box at the stadium so we were having a great time there. Around the 4th inning one of the other attorneys came up to the box to use the bathroom and told us he had a couple of extra seats next to him right behind the Dbacks dugout and invited us to join him. I have decided that this is the only way to watch baseball. Not only are the close enough to feel like you are part of the game, but with foul balls and other things you really can be part of the action! Right next to where I was resting my feet was a sign that said, "Beware of flying objects leaving the field." The attorney we were sitting with even told Tyler that his job while we were sitting this close was to protect me from these flying objects. :) Luckily the only thing that came very close was bubble gum from the guys in the dugout but it was still definitely the most exciting baseball game I've ever been too.

4 Years and Counting

So I'm a little late on this post but on June 2nd Tyler and I celebrated our 4 year Anniversary. To celebrate we went out with Cory and Allison to a restaurant called The Melting Pot. For those of you who have been there you know how amazing the food is and how fun it is to eat. For those of you who haven't been there I highly recommend it. It is a little spendy so probably it is a special occasions only kind of place but it was well worth what we spent. Tyler and I have had an amazing four years together, only made better the addition of Katelyn to our family. I'm so grateful to be married to my best friend and I look forward to all the years to come!

Learning from the Master

So Allison is really talented with couponing and saving money when she is shopping. I have been trying to learn all her ways while I am here so that hopefully I can apply them myself. A while back she discovered a really good deal on huggies diapers and so after printing off coupons on as many computers and we could and going to three different stores we came home with our cheap diapers. This is a picture of just my half. Looks like Katelyn should be good to go for a while. :)

Random Katelyn Post

So there isn't any particular story to go with this post just that we have some cute pictures of Katelyn and really what more do you need?


Sadly, the Suns got out sooner than we would've liked but here is Katelyn and her Daddy already for a playoff game. Go Suns!


This is Katelyn in an adorable outfit from her Grandma Carole. I also picked this picture because this is one of Katelyn's new favorite things. To suck her lips in and then see if she can let them out so they make a popping sound. It cracks her up. :)

Katelyn, almost smiling.


So Katelyn likes to fall asleep with a binky in her mouth and at least one in her hands. So usually I put three or so in with her just to make sure she can find one. :)


Her is Katelyn helping us pack to leave for Arizona. :)


Katelyn all dressed up for church mostly this is one of the rare instances when I could keep shoes on her and I think those jellies are too darn cute!


Katelyn and Daddy.


So Katelyn has cradle cap (basically bad baby dandruff) and a friend told me that putting Vaseline on her head would help. So we tried it and it didn't seem to make a big difference but it did make her hair look pretty great. :)

Girls' Movie Night!

I have been blessed with some very awesome friends out in Boston. For the most part they also have husbands going to the Law School. Well after discovering that we had pretty much all read the Twilight series we decided to start Girls' Movie Nights to watch them (and laugh at them) together. It's so fun to all get together and everyone always brings delicious things to share. :) The picture is actually from the last one we had before we all left for the Summer and we watched The Fantastic Mr. Fox, which was really cute. Sadly, we are missing our good friends Sophie and Jennifer in the picture. They weren't feeling well this evening but we love having them with us!

Cleveland Rocks!

So for any of you who also read my brother and sister-in-law's blog (Cameron and Hillary) feel free to go ahead and skip this post. Seeing as all the pictures are stolen straight from their blog you have seen it all already. :) Otherwise there are some great pictures so continue on! Tyler, Katelyn and I recently made the big move from Boston to Arizona and we were lucky enough to get to stop in Cleveland. Tyler only got to stay for a night before he and his dad (who flew to Cleveland the night we got there) drove on to Arizona and made it in two days! Katelyn and I got to stay for the weekend and we had so much fun. We were sad to leave. Luckily Hillary is a much better picture taker than I am so this trip is more documented than most.

Katelyn just loves her aunt and uncle and smiled at them all the time. Here she is snuggling with Cam. :)

Hillary was skilled enough to even catch one of her smiles. So fun!


The Sunday I was there was Mothers' Day and not only was Cameron sweet enough to make breakfast but even got flowers and wrote nice notes for both me and Hillary.
I love that Katelyn found her way in to both pictures. :)


We made pizzas one night for dinner. They were delicious and super fun to make. Here are the finished products.


Hillary and I with our pizzas.


Cameron rolling out the pizza dough.


Cam and Hillary also took us their local rec center which is awesome. We took Katelyn in the pool and had a really fun time.


Here is Katelyn in her giant inner tube having a good time. :)


Uncle Cam and Katelyn dancing!


One day we went to Little Italy and had lunch. Afterwords we went to a bakery and had the most amazing desserts. They both looked beautiful and tasted delicious!


Katelyn at the restaurant in Little Italy. She had carrots for lunch but the color makes it looks like she shared some of the spaghetti or something.


Here is Cameron at the same restaurant having a very traditional spaghetti and meatballs which he said were very good.


Thank you Cameron and Hillary for such a fun time! We are so excited to come back and see you again!
