Happy 4th Birthday Kenzie

We were actually on our way home from camping on her special day, which was a long drive and no fun, so we decided last minute to throw her a Tinkerbell party complete with a BBQ, bounce house, and various carnival type games/booths that weekend. My sister made an awesome tinkerbell cake for her:

Thanks Kristin, it ROCKED!! We had games like a bean bag toss, face painting-thanks Misty, balloon animals-thanks Trisha, and a cupcake walk- thanks again Kristin. Garrett planned a fun fishing game as well as a ball toss that each kid won a fish, and of course a pinata!!! It was lots of fun!

Kenzie hitting the pinata

Kenzie getting a ropin' rope for her birthday. She loves tieing things up as well as roping a steer so now she can have at it without creating huge knots for us to undo!

Fun face paiting with Aunt Misty! Kenzie loved her butterfly

All the kids on the bounce house: Evelynne, Carson, Chloe, Noah and Kenzie!

I cannot believe that my baby is 4! Time has flown by sooo fast!! She weighs in at 42 lbs. and is 42 1/2" tall. This year I have seen so much growth in her! She is soo helpful and will do things that we ask. She loves to sleep in our bed at night and is going through the "I'm scared" and "there are monsters" phase. She knows she can get what she wants from her dad, and mom is the stricter of the parents. She loves to read books and work on letters by tracing them on her whiteboard, and naming her flash cards. She is still into horses, likes to color but ends up wanting us to color or draw for her while she watches, loves being home and wathcing movies, and loves to work on projects with dad. Garrett gives her her own wood and tools to use and she is right there beside him. She definately has attitude and when has the pout down when she is mad or doesnt get her way! Her cousin even has picked up the fake cry and pout from Kenzie. Sorry Kristin!Kenzie has a love-hate relationship with her cousin Evelynne. They ask to see eachother and then end up fighting over toys, pouting, ect. She loves her cousin Carson and they enjoy playing together. She loves her sister and has been being a great mommy to her doll and horses by nursing them and putting them in the baby wrap, feeding them a bottle, wiping up their spit-up and putting them to sleep. She's a natural but also a sponge to all that we do with Paige! She has become addicted to treats, and loves to steal drinks of me diet coke!! I just love her to pieces!!Happy Birthday Kenzie!
