the white house at the right time

My little Makenzy is pretty happy most days. Big sister Maddy sure has done a great job of being the morning hairdresser - love the curls.

Reflections 2014 Pictured with Principal and "Buddy" the Bobcat The little dancer choreographed and danced to Yanni's "Santorini." The theme was the "World Would be a Better Place If...." people would smile and like being themselves.  Makenzy to mom, "Mom this is my first real trophy!"  

Presents.  Birthday.  Cake.  Party. Pure Excitment! Makenzy's 4th Birthday!

Big, fat, short, tall, squarish, roundish, we've been to lots of them, and this one close by the mall. All sorts of pumpkin patches that is. Today, we went to Mosby Brother's Farms Pumpkin Field with Makenzy's preschool class. I purchased, corn, pumpkins, H alloween themed candy and hay ride. Tacked on 3 bosc pears. Makenzy and friend had a few complimentary bites, prior to my realizing what the little girls were up to. Preschool Class. Six Big Brother/Sister Helpers. Two. Mom helper. One. Not pictured. 4 other mom helpers. 2 baby brothers and 1 baby sister. Love this display behind us. Cayleb is loving his candy stick wedged in between his cheeks. Tag spot. Lunch spot. Resting spot. Out little tots are really getting into preschool. Thanks ladies so much for jumping in with me and doing our preschool co-op. Tina is a thinker. Halloween shaped pretzels for the hay ride. The day was beautiful. Blue skies. Sun. Crisp autumn air. Rain starts tomorrow. Wish I could sa...

Randy left the decision up to me. If I wanted, I could go back and get my masters degree. If I wanted, I could have another baby. Bibbity , bobbity , boo look who just turned 2! For Kenzy girl, it is all about pink, dolls, and dancing. She was so excited to get another baby. Since she had so much fun opening her presents, Cayden tested her mental aptitude, and patience by grabbing some old toys from the play room, and stuffing them in a gift bag. "She won't even notice." She did. That's how I like 'em, SMART! I've been heavy with child at Christmas. Madalyn. and Had a "Baby Jesus" at Christmas. Makenzy . We laid her in a wooden doll rocker. But there was and is definitely room for her in our inn. We were crazy at our dance off party, playing ring around the rosies , swinging her, playing chase, hide and go seek, loving on her babies, watching Barbie movies. "More." In other words, she felt jipped it all had to end. Love you Kenzy gir...

Nothing beats your daddy tickling and "eating" up his baby girl.

My little Makenzy will be 1 next month, I can't believe how quickly the time goes. My wiser family and friends keep saying "enjoy the here and now - it goes by quickly" it does! She doesn't even look like this anymore - still cute, but just different, thought almost the same amount of hair - lotsa hairbows courtesy of Grandma Brusik. We spent Thanskgiving this year hosting. We had the institute missionary couple the Bakers over. They are from Cedar City and she brought over Dixie salad, so we were not only glad to have their company but a bit of Randy's beloved Dixie too. Brother and Sister Williams (she is the secretary at the institute). Her husband recently participated in an iron man and they both ride their bikes to work almost everyday - amazing. I hope Randy and I can be that active when we get older. It was so nice to spend time with them. We really enjoyed their company. It also gave me a chance to use the new digital camcorder I got for my birthday this...

This is Makenzy doing her cute little face!
