Of coarse it wouldn't be any fun if daddy didn't get to play with his truck too.
We took the kids over to these man made rock formations used for rock crawling real vehicles. They thought it was awesome.
Max also got a remote control truck for Christmas, so we had to take the kids out to let them drive.
Kenli was so excited and fun this year. She loved opening her LeapPad and just kept letting me know that she had been a good girl, so Santa could bring her what she asked for.
He was so excited to finally see the big monster truck he'd been wanting for so long.
Max, Kenli, and Ridge waiting to open presents on Christmas morning.
The kids played Blue's Clue's hunt for Nativity objects. They looked so cute in their glasses.
This was the result of one of our games at the family Christmas party. It was turned out to be pretty hilarious and a lot of fun.
Kenli's Christmas program at school. It was really cute and all the kids did such a good job. I absolutely loved the reindeer hat.
We had to make a train car for Kenli's Polar Express day at Kindergarten. I recruited Justin for this project since he is actually the artistic one in the family. He did a really good job on the structure. Kenli and I decorated the rest. She looked so cute.
Kenli couldn't wait to ask Santa for and "Ipad" (Leap pad).
Ridge loved Santa this year and was so excited to ask him for a Monster Truck. He talked about it forever after seeing him.
Kenli's school Halloween party. I was helping so Ridge got to come. The kids had a really good time and played some super cute games.
The kids Halloween costumes this year. We spent lots of time making Kenli's and thank Heaven's for Aunt Janey who let us borrow Ridge's.
Ridge wanted to help his dad work outside one day, so I told him to go put his shoes on. This was the get-up he came out in. He totally changed all his clothes. I don't even know where he found half the stuff he was wearing, but it was hilarious.
This was the result of our pumpkin carving day. All the pumpkins came from Grandma and Grandpa Bloomfield's garden. They literally had a ton this year and was able to supply all the grand kids with more than enough.
We tried these cake batter Halloween rice krispies and they turned out really cute. The kids had a blast.
Daddy brought these suckers home one day as a prize for the kids. They thought it was awesome and it made a pretty cute picture to.
We went to Lagoon with Justin's work. It was very hot and crowded but we still had a good time.
Kenli screamed a lot on this ride but was loving every minute of it.
Ridge loved this Dragon ride at Lagoon. It goes stinking fast and I was sure he was going to be sobbing when we were done, but he just laughed the whole time.
The kids won these glasses in one of the games. They thought they were pretty cool.
Ridge came out of the bathroom holding this. To this day I'm still not exactly sure what happened, but the toilet seat was very broken. Boys will definitely be boys!!!
Justin and I have been married for 7.5 years now and can't believe this much time has passed. We are finally feeling settled after 7.5 years, 2 kids, 4 cities, 5 moves, and lots of jobs. We are so grateful for all of the blessings we've been given.
11/22/10- 2 weeks after Kenli had her tonsils out. Mom-" Kenli you are so skinny and little now." Kenli-"I know Mom, that's because I melted."
4/10/10- Kenli says to me, "Mom, we need to go see How to Potty Your Dragon."
10/3/09- Kenli got a balloon at the store and when we walked outside I told her not to let it go because it would fly into the sky to heaven. She paused for a moment and then said, "It's ok mom, Jesus will just push it back down"! 10/23/09- Kenli was talking to Grandma about Halloween and said," I don't want to see any witches because they will scare me out of crap"!
