My 2nd Quilt!!!


Its official-I am addicted!I love to make quilts!! SO tonight I finished my second one!! I used the scraps from Kenzies to make it! Thanks mom for your help and ideas!

Kenzie in March

So this is all about my bug, Kenzie. She has had her share of tantrums, and drama, but lately she seems to be coming into her own. She constantly is saying new words and chatting my ear off. She is being a much better listener, and such a sweet heart. The other morning Kenz and I slept in and I started feeling a little hand in my cheek. Yep, it was kenzie stroking my cheek and saying so soft and sweet, "Hi mommy". I just melted. she was waking me up so cute.
Here is Kenzie with a loved activity-Playdough! And if you look hard enough you will see that she had a bump on her head and scrathes on her nose. Yah, that was from her falling on the concrete face first. Poor Girl!!

Here is me and my girl at Christopher Creek. I love being able to play with and show her new things!
I bought her a cute little growth chart and now we are marking her progress. I love the crazy hair before bed!! And of course she is carrying a giraffe. She usually has some animal in her hands.


Happy St.Patty's Day. This picture is what we see lots in our house. She loves to dance and when she does, she closes her eyes, turns in circles and makes hilarious facial expressions. If you tell her to shake her booty she tosses the junk in the trunk.

Debrief of Spring Break

Well, our nice week off came to an end. But, we did have a great time. We ended up going camping with some friends and enjoyed the nice weather. We started out at Lake Roosevelt and then headed up to Christopher Creek area just outside of Payson. Here is Kenzie loving our friends dog, Rusty. She also enjoyed sitting on his back and yelling, "Yee Ha"

"Does this swimsuit make my butt look big?"

I have to share this story because my daughter is adorable. Kenzie loves swimming and every time we see the pool she states "swimsuit" as excitedly as she can. Those who have witnessed her at a pool know what I am talking about! So, since she had grown out of her old one, Kenzie and I went to get a new one. We found some cute ones at Target and went in the dressing room to try them on. I put her in it and set her down in front of the mirror. Once she saw herself, he excitedly yelled, SWIMSUIT, and turned to the side to check out her butt in the mirror. She then took her hand and smoothed the suit over her butt and then pat her cheeks. I was dieing laughing!! I wish I had a camera to capture the moment but I wasn't fast enough!! Later that afternoon we showed Garrett the swimsuit and needless to say she wouldn't take it off!! So, she passes out on the couch for her nap in her swimsuit.


Our Weekend Getaway

So since spring break was about to start we decided that we needed a weekend away. Our plans of course changed by the minute, but we finally decided on Flagstaff. We dropped Kenzie to my parents, who totally rock and thanks a million, and headed up the mountain with our friends Dave and Shawnette. We enjoyed some bowling, movies, games, and food. It was so nice to be able to do whatever since no diaper changing or naptimes where involved. That night garrett and I were schooled on how to plan Texas Hold 'em. Goodthing we don't gamble for real cause that game is addicting, but it was a lot of fun. The next day we headed to Winslow and went on a four wheeler ride. Thanks Gary for making all that possible. Your a great father in law!! On our ride we went and saw Garrett's families dog's grave and the headstone that Garrett carved out. It was neat to see that the headstone was still there after 15+ years.



We also saw what was left of an airplane that had crashed which was a plane that had cloth wings. That is how old the plan wreckage was. thanks Vanna White aka: shawnette



We also saw the backroad that went to Flagstaff that people way back when would take to and from Winslow with their wagons. You can see the writing on the rock which was their road sign!!
After the ride we went downtown and saw "the corner" and then headed home.


Overall we had such a fun weekend. Now, we get to do some camping the rest of the week! Isn't spring break great!!
