Another Day of Fishing

We went fishing again on Monday...I guess I missed pictures of Kermit and Kyler. We didn't catch anything but the kids had fun playing in the sun and sand. Kenzie was being a goofball!

Fishing

We went fishing with Kermit's mom... Kermit an Kyler caught a fish (a humpy). The weather got pretty nasty so we headed home. We warmed up and ate and then headed back for some more fishing. We got rained on all over again. We came back home after a couple more hours and jumped in the hot tub to warm up. All in all the kids had fun even in the rain :)

Kenzie liked playing in the sand.

The First Days of School

Kaeli and Kyler had their first 1/2 day on Moday and their first full day yesterday. It looks like Kaeli will be staying home today as she seems to have caught a bug :(

They both are really liking school and Kyler really enjoys full days!
Hopefully the sicknesses don't continue throughout the entire year.

Kenzie's 1 Year Pictures

Kyler and I took Kenzie to the park to get some 1 year pictures... I think we came away with some cute shots and the kids got to play too. She was on the go the entire time...good thing Kyler was there to help me get her to smile :)

Happy 10th Anniversary

10 years ago I married my best friend...

Kermit you have brought so much happiness into my life...

You love me with everything you have...

We have been blessed with four beautiful children...each unique in his/her own way...

One of those blessings was taken far too soon to be with Jesus...

Through all of the laughter and tears you have been my rock...

You are my one true love...and although I may not show it enough or tell you enough...

You are the only one I would ever want to share this journey with...

I Love You Forever... and I'm ready for the next 10 years!

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

Happy 42nd Anniversary Mom and Dad!!! Wow, 42 years...I'd say that's quite spectacular. Look at all you've accomplished over the years. What a great looking family...if I do say so myself!

Thank you for the example you have been to our family. We love you both very much and thank God everyday for giving us such wonderful parents and grandparents to our children. We hope you are blessed with many more years together. Love you!

Julie, Kermit, Kaeli, Kyler and Kenzie

Happy 1st Birthday Kenzie Rose

Here I am one year ago...

TODAY I TURNED ONE...

Today I slept in until after 9:00... I had to start the morning off with a bath because we didn't get home from the fair until after midnight and I was pretty dirty....

I ate some yogurt and fruit for breakfast....

We went outside to take a few pictures but I just don't like to sit still anymore...

I ate some lunch....

and couldn't even make it through that.... Mommy moved me to my bed for a nap

I woke up and we tried some more pictures...

but I really don't stay in one place for very long...

I walked a lot...

and tried to get away from mommy....

I wouldn't let go of Kaeli's little toy...

I was even telling the toy what to do....

I really like to play "Where is Kenzie?" "Here I am!"

I like to make funny noises with my tongue too...thanks to daddy and big brother

I am such a big girl...my shirt says "I'M THE BIRTHDAY GIRL now gimme' some cake."

I opened my presents from mommy, daddy, Kaeli and Kyler

I like my new doll...she talks to me

I got some new clothes...

and some new musical toys...

I LOVE TO DANCE...

We went to the Pizza Factory for my birthday dinner...yummy

It is Thursday... and Thursday is pizza night.

When we got back home it was time for ice cream cake...

Everyone sang Happy Birthday to me...

and then we ate the cake...

I just dipped my finger in...mommy helped me finish up. I didn't get too messy.

Now I'm off to sleep again...what a day!

To my baby girl Kenzie...

I can't believe you are already one! You are such a special little girl who is so very loved. You have been such a blessing in our lives and it is so amazing to watch all of your accomplishments. I love seeing all of your "firsts!" Your daddy and I know how special each day is with you and we want you to know how very much we love you! Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!
