Happy Birthday Kenna

On her "Birth Day"

Just a few favorite pictures from her first year.

Kenna's First Birthday Party! 

 I can't believe how fast a year goes by! Kenna is ONE and it has been FUN. She is a sweet girl and I am thankful I get to be her mom. She has 6 teeth now, she likes to chase her brothers  she has no interest in walking yet  but can crawl pretty fast. She can wave, say hi, Mama and Dada.  She weighs 18.5 lbs and is 29.5 inches tall.

Thank you to everyone for coming to her birthday party it was fun to decorate in Pink for a change, and celebrate our little princess. I can't wait to see how much she grows and learns in this next year.

2011

I am always happy to start a new year, 2010 brought us a lot of interesting twists and turns but I am ready for a fresh new start. The best things of 2010 was the birth of our daughter Kenna, Travis receiving his Bachelors degree, Ryker becoming potty trained, and Canon starting to read we have also enjoyed all the family time we have had together and after a rocky start (including Travis's shoulder surgery) we have been blessed with a really healthy year. 2011 will be full of more family fun and lots of homework. Travis and I both are full time students now and Canon will continue preschool then later this year...kindergarten. Ryker will start preschool later this year and Kenna will start walking soon. I love all the time that I am able to spend with my family watching them grow and helping them learn, we have so much fun together and I can't wait to see what 2011 has in store for us.

Christmas Day 2010

My sweet sleeping ones dreaming of sugar plumes I'm sure.

The pictures uploaded funny but oh well. Christmas is the one day every year that we wake up our kids instead of the other way around.

 Look at their sweet tired faces, wake up it's Christmas. You can see their stockings in this picture, Rochele had made these stockings for all of her sons and their wives and all 11 grand kids. Holly has helped her finish the last of them this past year. They are so beautifully done and a really special part of Christmas for us, thank for your time and talents Rochele.

 Christmas is a long fun day filled with family and fun and food. Every year we open presents and then go over to the Sprague's house for breakfast then over to Travis's parents house to visit and exchange gifts and then we have Christmas dinner at my parents house.

 Kenna's first Christmas

Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas Eve

 My Knights in shinning armour. Jen and I spent the morning out shopping; while I was enjoying some girl time, Daddy had some fun with the kids. He's so fun.

Making cookies for Santa

 Every year since Canon was a baby we have made cookies together on Christmas Eve, it is a tradition that I want to keep going forever I love it. This year while the cookies were in the oven we played a Lego board game that was perfect for the kids Ryker is holding what he made in this family picture. I think board games on Christmas Eve will be a new tradition it was fun.

 Is it bed time yet?



chopsticks

Canon had been asking to have Chinese for dinner because he loves it but this time he really wanted to try out chopsticks. Go for it buddy, why not. Turns out he was a natural, he had no problem eating his whole meal with them and could even eat the rice with them. He was so proud of his newly discovered talent I just had to share. Way to go Canon you could fit right in, in Asia-sort of.

Kenna my Princess

 We did a photo shoot to get a picture to put on her birthday invitation here are a few cute ones.

Kenna's Birthday is just around the corner I can't believe it! It has been a very fast year. Kenna is our last baby and I am so glad that she is in our family, she is such 
 a sweetheart. She has gotten so big and is turning into a little girl no longer a baby but she will always be our
 little Princess.

Macco Bowl

 Vegas was very foggy and rainy.

 Great seats-not so great game

 Sitting with the Sprague boys

Travis and Jeromy were lucky enough to go to the Utes bowl game in Vegas (thanks Brent) It was a quick trip but they had fun together with the Sprague's. Too bad we didn't win.
