Beautiful AND Smart!!

Kenzie learned a new song at preschool this week! However, her brother doesn't like to share the spotlight and wasn't happy that I plopped him in the pack n' play so that I could shoot the video. Try to tune him out while you enjoy her song!

1st Day of Preschool!!

Today is a HUGE milestone!! Kenzie started preschool today at Oak Elementary! When we found out I would be transferring to Oak as the financial secretary, it was an answered prayer since we knew Kenzie would probably go to Oak for Kindergarten. But then we found out she could come to preschool there as a typical peer in a SPED preschool class. We have been so blessed!!!!

Caden didn't look to sure about all of us walking away from Heather's this morning.

Breakfast time! Actually, she eats breakfast at home and has a snack when I drop her off. Today, a cherry nutrigrain bar!

Kenzie and Ethan won't get to sit together every morning because they aren't in the same class. Today was an exception. I hope they have recess together at least!

My favorite part of the day is when she comes running at 3 o'clock!!

Busy Day!!!

Since Kenzie starts preschool Monday at OUR school (Oak Elementary), we decided to spend her last official Saturday of summer vacation with friends and family! We met her "boyfriend" Ethan and his mom Kim at the new Shelby Farms playground. That place is AMAZING!!! Katie, next time you're in town, we'll take you!

Since the ducks were MIA, they fed the fish...

Then we had lunch with Uncle Van, Aunt Kristin, Karis, Nana, and Pop and spent some time at Karis' house.

Caden LOVES to play with Karis!! She's not really sure about him yet. HA!

First day of school pictures to be posted as soon as possible!!!

Finally! 9 month pictures!

I know Caden is 10 months old now, but about a month ago we had his 9 month pictures made! Better late than never!



This is my favorite. I have it in black and white.





Love those two teeth! Though, just a month later, he now has FIVE teeth!!





Had I known they had a football background, I would have bought him some Vols gear!!




His "I hate peas!" face



Starlight Spectacular 2011

We took the kids to Bellevue to watch the fireworks and had a blast with all of our friends!! Kenzie LOVED the fireworks, as usual, and Caden was even in awe! He fell asleep halfway through the show, but he was really into it up until then!

Caden gets slightly annoyed with my camera sometimes :)

Heather brought her kids and they all ran around having a great time!

MacKenzie and Kenzie didn't stay still for long!

Meeting Heather and her family at River City Church was such a blessing!

My All-American baby!

Kim brought her family over too!! Kenzie was SO excited to spend time with Ethan!! They were best buds at Cindy's.

The crew is back together!! It was so great seeing Cindy again!!

These are some of Kenzie's favorite people :)

Garrett was so sleepy!!

Caden was totally amazed...until he fell asleep.

Emily and her 3 kids came and hung out with us too! Kenzie and Addie were all over the place!

Summer Siblings

Just a few summer snapshots I took this past weekend. It's been too hot to play outside without a pool, so my solution? I got our little one out! We're going to Ripley in a few weeks for Kenzie's swimming lessons, so we'll have plenty of pool time then!

Kenzie has been asking us for MONTHS to get this down for him!

Love that sweet smile :)

Can you tell he likes the water? He's always loves baths so I wasn't surprised!!

Look, Mom!! I got her!!
