Kendon's Graduation

I can't believe the school year has come to an end so quickly! Here we are at Kendon's Small Wonders Preschool graduation. He did great. I think he was more fascinated by the lights on the ceiling than actually singing all the songs.:) His teacher was Ms. Casey who he just loved. He wanted to take her flowers all year and finally got to at graduation. He also attented preschool with his cousin Brooklyn. They love going to school together and have so much fun. He is growing up way too fast!!!! Congrats Kendon on a great first year of school.

Kourtney's Baptism

Although I feel like the 8th birthday lasts forever, I have one last post. Kourt's Baptism was held on June 5th. It was a beautiful day outside and Kourtney looked beautiful also in her white dress. She was a little nervous that day because she hates being the center of attention but she did great. We do have an unusual story though. The stake center had no power that morning so everything was dark and the font had to be filled with cold water!! Kourtney said it was freezing! We had to get her dressed in the dark but while I was finishing her hair the power finally came on. :) Something we will never forget. It was a really special day and thanks to all our family and friends that mean so much to her and came to support her!!

Go Sidewinders!

Kendon is in the middle of another exciting year of T-ball. He loves it and is doing a great job. This year they are the Sidewinders, and he and his friends from the neighborhood have a fun time playing on this team. It's been a cold season though! I think we have yet been to a warm-weathered game!

Dance Recital

Another year of dance has been completed! Kennedy finished her jazz dance class and Kourtney finished her first year of Cheerleading. It has been a fun year and last Saturday we had a dance recital to show the families their routines. They both looked really cute and did a great job!!!

Happy 8th Birthday Kourtney!

So another birthday has come and gone. We had a really fun couple of days celebrating Kourtney. Here are a few pics of what we did. We are really excited about her Baptism coming up next week!!

Saturday night we went to Texas Roadhouse because Kourtney loves ribs! Here is the ice cream she got because it was her birthday.
Then Grandma Kris slept over so they got in their matching pajamas and stayed up way too late talking!! :) Kourtney loves talking with Grandma.This is Kourt on the morning of her birthday.

Then we had the family over for a party and ice cream sundaes.

Kourtney

It's one week until Kourtney's 8th birthday so I thought I would get a little bit ahead of the game and start her post. Hmmm.. where to start. First off, I can't believe she is about to turn 8!! Kourtney was due on May 22nd 2002. I woke up that morning and my water broke. We went to the hospital but unfortunately she didn't make it out until the 23rd. That perfectly describes Kourtney. She has been on time, and a "rule follower" ever since she was born. She arrived at 4:20 a.m. She weighed in at 9 lbs. 13 ounces. I didn't realize how big this was until I found out the weight of other babies around the hospital. :) She had her dad wrapped around her finger the moment she was born. She was such a good baby. She could entertain herself for hours and she slept through the night by 6 weeks old. I loved going out to stores just me and her and dressing her up in all of the cute clothes. Kev would take her out some nights and come back with lots of fun stuff for her too. The joys of being the first child!!
It's been crazy watching her grow up. I feel like this year we have experienced the most change. But she still follows every rule. She loves school more than anything, and I will be really surprised if she ends up not being a teacher. She has always loved school. If you asked school or Disneyland?...School wins every time. This year Kourt has tried something new when she signed up for cheerleading. It's been hard not having any friends in it, but she has stuck it out. She has learned so much and I am so proud of her for not giving up. She can cartwheel and round-off with the best of them. I swear she did 1000 cartwheel until she could do it just right.
Kourtney has a big heart. She loves her family and friends and always makes sure they are safe. She tries so hard to do the right thing and we love her so much. We are excited to see what this new year brings. Here are just some random things about Kourtney.
1. She loves ribs and ice cream.
2. She loves playing the DS, Webkinz, and the Wii.
3. She loves to draw and create things.
4. She loves her teachers.
5. She loves playing with her friends, swimming, and riding her bike.
6. She is bossy, silly, and active.
7. She loves Taylor Swift and iCarly.
8. She is extremely shy!!!

We love you Kourtney.

Snowman in May

I just had to post this picture of our giant snowman that was built the very last part of April/first of May. You can see our daffodils and then we had 4 inches of snow that day. Sadly our snowman lasted only a few hours, because by the afternoon it was warm again. :)
