Memorial Weekend and Pop's Birthday!!

This was a VERY busy weekend!! Dad's birthday wish was to have us in Ripley for the holiday so we spent some time there Sunday afternoon and part of Monday.

That's the hula skirt they brought back for Kenzie from Hawaii! She wore the flowery headband for about 5 minutes.

Somehow we ended up back in Memphis for his birthday dinner and cake! Actually we sweet-talked them into coming back with us to help us finish our landscaping project, pictures of that will come soon! Kenzie looks like she's saying "For the LAST time, I'm ONE, now stop asking!!". And yes, she has two hands full of birthday cake (no icing) in that picture. She's our little chipmunk!

Not only is her car cool, she loves the box it came in!!

I LOVE this dress!! She wore this to church sunday morning. Of course, she wouldn't wear her fancy shoes, had to wear the sandals that light up!

Daddy's girl!!

Mother's Day

Ummm...so there's not a picture of ME on Mother's Day, but there are some of the child that makes me a mother...does that count?

Showing off her new car...and pointing out the detail work!

Clowning around at the table....

This wasn't taken on Mother's Day....I don't think...but I think it's a GREAT picture of Van and Kristin!

Her first surgery

Kenzie had her adnoids taken out and tubes put in her ears friday! We've been battling an ear infection for over 2 months and her ENT finally set the date for the surgery. Hopefully that will get rid of the infection and she'll be back to her old self in no time! My mom and dad were with us at the hospital. She and her Pop read books and walked around the waiting room while the rest of us tried to wake up (4:30 comes early!!). She was in a great mood and didn't even cry when they took her back to surgery!

She was pretty disoriented after the surgery and only woke up long enough to let the doctors and nurses know she was ok. Then slept the rest of the day. Do we spoil her or what? We bought her a car for doing so well!! Customized with Mommy's foam stickers of course. Her Uncle Van and Aunt Kristin brought her a fun balloon!

Easter Celebration

Ok, so now my posts are out of chronological order...I forgot to post these! We went to Bellevue for Easter Sunday, then to Ripley to celebrate Mom's birthday!

Tiger Mania!!

The Memphis Tigers had an AWESOME season and made it all the way to the National Championship last night in San Antonio, TX!! They were tied and went into overtime and didn't quite pull it out. But we're still very proud of our Tigers!!! It was only the second loss of the season!! Every time we'd say "GO TIGERS!!!!!!" Kenzie would put her hands up in the air. So cute! By the way, do you see those teeth in this picture??!!

Gardening with Nana

Kenzie was such a big help!! Nana would take the weeds out...

And Kenzie would put them back in!

Priceless Pics...

Just some random moments we thought you'd like to see.... Mom and Dad brought the red and gold outfit home from San Francisco.... Kenzie's first carosel ride at the Wolfchase Mall (she loved it!)......

And her new dress!

I'm ONE!!!

We took Kenzie to Portrait Innovations in Collierville again to have her one year pictures made. She has been battling an ear infection for about 4 weeks now, but still managed a few smiles for the camera! I can't believe she's one!!!!!!
