Happy Birthday to Jeramie!

For those of you who don't know, Jeramie turned 30 (in February)! He got a new camera and loves it. We took Kennedie to the park and got some great pictures. It was warm enough to take her and she loves the slide.
We made cupcakes for Jer's birthday and Kennedie loved them, but only if there was frosting on them. Just see how much she loves them...

The next Michelle Wie

Kennedie loves hitting soft golf balls with Jer's clubs and he didn't want her ruining the club. We also didn't want her banging up the walls. So to solve our problem we bought her a set of golf clubs just for her. She loves to carry them all around and has to have all of the clubs and golf balls in her hand. There is no convincing her that she only needs one golf ball and club. She has to have them all, and if she can't have them all she throws a fit. Those are sometimes very funny to watch, but I try to avoid tantrums at all costs. Jeramie tried to show her how she can hit the ball with the club, but she wanted nothing to do with it.

We are hoping she will love golfing (Jer wants to teach her when she is old enough). Then she can become a great golfer and buy us a beach house or something.

What would we do without...McDonald's?

We went up north the end of January to visit Grandma Suzie. Kennedie had so much fun. We got together with Jer's sister, Ami, and her family, and my brother, Curtis, and his family came too. Kennedie loved playing with her cousins. We decided to go to McDonald's to let the kids play. It was a great weekend and we look forward to the next time we can visit. We are also looking forward to Grandma Suzie's visit in April.

Balloon!

Kennedie loves balloons! We went to a friend's birthday party and there were big balloons there. They gave Kennedie one and the next day when Jeramie was home with her, she was playing on her balloon and he got a video of it. Who knew a balloon was so much fun?

Happy New Year!

Jeramie had to work on New Year's, so Kennedie and I had a girls night. We made Chex Mix and Muddy Buddies. Kennedie helped by eating the Chex (she loves them). She also helped shake the Muddy Buddies.

Christmas 2009

I know this is quite a bit late, but I figured I better update our blog. Christmas never got on the blog, so here it is. Kennedie loved Christmas. Although I think she loved it more at Grandma Suzie's. She didn't quite get into unwrapping presents like she did up north, but she did enjoy her presents once they were opened. She loves her markers (Color Wonder Markers are FABULOUS!) Her favorite is the Mickey Mouse books. Kennedie loves to read!

I had to include this one. For those of you that don't know, all the girls on Jer's side all stick out their tongue when they concentrate. Here is the beginning of Kennedie's "Morrey" tongue. You may have to look close to see it.

One good thing about taking pictures is that there really aren't many pictures of me. Also, since I'm the one doing the blog, I get to pick which pictures get published. So here is a picture of Jeramie.

Christmas Trees and Lights

We put up our Christmas trees and Kennedie loves the lights. When she wakes up and comes down stairs, the first thing we have to do is turn on the lights. She stares at the lights and touches them and tells us about them. She loves seeing the Christmas lights in the neighborhood. Every night when we come home, she has to go see the lights at the neighbor's house. We took her to the Temple to see the lights and she wanted to climb the stairs. It was cold and the stairs are made of granite. She did enjoy the lights and seeing the nativity.

Taking a break at Beaver

On the way home from Grandma Suzie's, we had to stop at Beaver to give Kennedie a break. We stopped at the McDonald's and let her play in the play area. She loved climbing in and seeing Dad at the end of the tunnel, but then she couldn't figure out how to turn around and go back to the beginning. Jer had to go in after her, and she eventually figured it out.

The Holidays at Grandma Suzie's

We went up to Roy for Thanksgiving and had so much fun catching up and being with family. Kennedie was sick the first few days, so she didn't really warm up to anyone. But she still had fun we think. While we were up, Grandma Suzie made edible turkeys with the kids. Kennedie just wanted to cookies, so we gave her one. Of course they were covered with chocolate and she loved them!

We had Christmas while we were up there too. Kennedie loved opening the presents. It didn't matter what was in them, just that they were wrapped and she got to open them. She then liked the boxes that the gifts came in more than the actual gifts.

We also got to see Ami (Jer's sister) and her family while we were up. They recently had a new addition to their family, Owen, and they blessed him on Saturday. Afterwards, we visited with family and Kennedie was entertained by "Toy Story." This is a picture of one of her typical positions for watching a movie. Jer and I also took a picture of us while we were there, and here is that as well. We have also included a picture of Jer's perfected "blue steel" look. He has been working on this one for a while now.

Hair do's for Kennedie

I decided I should take some pictures of Kennedie's hair when it gets done so I have a reference for me when I need ideas for how to do her hair. She loves getting her hair done, especially at the babysitters. She knows right where to find all the bows and clips.The first ones were done by her babysitter, and the last one is done by me. Sorry the picture isn't that great. Kennedie doesn't hold still anymore for anything except for when she sleeps, and even that is questionable...
