Wow I can't believe that Brayden is already 7 it is so weird to see how fast time goes by. His party this year was pretty funny, Aunt Charlene gave me a cupcake book and he saw a penguin one in there that he had to have. SO we had to design his party around his cake, only Brayden. Well we knew we were going to do the water slide so it actually worked out pretty well. I had been choose for a Capri Sun house party, which gives you a bunch of supplies and then you throw a party using them. So I had freebies from them so first we decorated them with stickers, which it was surprisingly hard to find penguin stickers and they ended up being a ton of money but everyone really liked it. Then we played pinned the beak on the penguin, that Chad drew for me, didn't it turn out great? Brayden liked it so much it is now hanging on his door inside :) After that we made the homemade root beer that is tradition and let them play on the water slide and the trampoline with the sprinkler on it. Then he finally got to eat his penguin cupcakes, they took forever but I think that they turned out really cute. The kids loved them and their faces were covered in black icing!!! Brayden has awesome friends and got some really great presents that he LOVES!! Nothing is better than knowing your child had a great party and that night he prayed saying thank you for my party it was so much fun I want another one :)
This is my beautiful 4 year old, we have been trying to get pictures taken for our wall and so Grandmas will leave me alone. This one is my favorite so far I think but we are going to give it one more try:)
She has gotten so big in this past year it is hard to imagine she is already 4! She has been learning so much in this past year and just LOVES to learn. We do preschool at home and she is always begging for more, she now knows all of her letters big and small and we have moved on to site words. I have several first readers from my sis that she can read by herself now. She loves that she can read and reads them to pretty much anyone that will listen.
Kenzie has finally started to grow some again and finally made it to the 30 pound mark! We were not so sure that she would, it is a big deal to her since she wants to ride in a booster like her brother and couldn't until she weighed at least 30 pounds. She still is pretty short for it so she doesn't get to ride in it very often but she wants to all of the time.
Her favorite things right now are probably art and crafts (anything with paint and glitter glue), play-duh, and baby dolls. Yes I truely have a girlie girl, never thought I would know what to do but it is a lot of fun getting to play house with her.
She says funny things all of the time and I just wanted to write a few from the past year. First that comes to mind is at Sonic she asked for teeter-totters instead of tatter-tots. We told her a whole bunch of times after that it was tatter tots so the next time we went she says "okay I was tic-tots", it is so funny because she is always so serious when saying it you can't help but laugh. When we found out Aunt Charlene was pregnant she announces really loud "I think she should have a girl because I am a girl!".
My favorite memory this year was going to Sea World and taking her on her first roller coaster! She LOVES them she is only tall enough for two but we make sure we do them each time we go. The one is a water ride that drops really fast, like Splash Mountain, she LOVES it we will not even be off and she is asking to go again. She is so big and beautiful and we love every minute with our ditsy girl!
This year Kenzie decided she wanted to have a beach party (probably with some help from us since we bought a big blowup water slide for the kids big gift this year). We made flip-flop invitations that she helped pick out the ribbon and put together. Then we decided that we would decorate flip-flops with everyone at the party. The girls had a lot of fun getting to chose their beads and get them on, it took a little too long but they turned out really cute. After we made out flip-
flops they had to dig for treasure in the sandbox where we had hidden little flip-flop key chains. Then daddy had filled water balloons to throw at a picture of a coconut tree that he had drawn, they were suppose to hit the coconuts with the balloons. It was so funny since not one of the girls threw them hard enough to pop when they hit the wall! Then they got to play on the big water slide which they loved and it was so funny to see them all having a good time and get to relax. After that we had a flip-flop cake that I made and opened the presents. She got lots of great pres
e
nts from all of her friends. We got a picture of all of the girls feet wearing their new flip-flops before they left. It was a lot of fun and I loved watching Kenzie be so happy :)
