Kennidi and Santa

For the ward Christmas party we had Santa come, and the only was we could get Kennidi to sit on his lap was to tell her that it was Grandpa, but she did it. The primary also put on The Nativity and the nursery kids were the animals. They were so cute. Kaydn and Kennidi were are wondering animals. Not surprised that they couldn't sit there the whole time.

Fun with cousins

We love seeing our cousins in Idaho. For Thanksgiving we went to Idaho and were able to stay with Jeremy for a few nights and with Lacey and Randy for the rest of the time. While we were at Jeremy's it snowed so all the kids and Blake went outside to play in the snow and hold Blake shovel the drive way. Kennidi had a lot of fun with Conrad and Tyler. Then we went to Lacey's house and she had so much fun playing with all those boys too. Kennidi was surrounded by all boy cousins this year, that's ok though she is used to it. Thank you so much to both families for letting us come and visit.






Karlyn loved having someone to play with but McKinlee wasn't a big fan of Karlyn trying to roll on her and grab her ear.

Halloween

So for Halloween we were a 50's family. I was able to make Kennidi, McKinlee and me, matching poodle skirts and made Blake a lettermen Sweater. We looked so cute. First, Friday morning we went downtown Grass Valley and we got to see Grandpa and Blake at the office. Blake was dressed up as a Gorilla and Kennidi wanted nothing to do with him. She really doesn't like masks, she kept hiding her face in our shoulders whenever somebody wearing a mask walked by. While we were there we ran into Coen, Becket and Summit. It was so cute to see all the little kids dressed up. Latter that night we went to the church for trunk or treat. We got lots of candy there and some delicious homemade rootbeer. Halloween was fun this year.

McKinlee's Blessing and Kennidi's Birthday party

On September 27th, 2009 we blessed McKinlee Mae Smith. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful blessing. First off I want to say Thank You to everybody that came and supported my little family. We are so lucky to have so many family and friends around us.
So the first group of pictures are family pictures. I have to say that Blake and I have some beautiful girls. See for yourself.

Since everybody was already there to celebrate McKinlee's blessing, we decided to take the opportunity to throw Kennidi a birthday party. We know that it was a week early but everybody was already there. Thank you so much to Aunt Kristi for making our beautiful and delicious Cupcake cake. We loved all the cupcakes . . . and so did everybody else.
