Lil Tumbling Girl

Kennedy started doing Gymnastics a few months back and LOVES it!! We are lucky enough that a gal in our ward was a gymnist and now teaches classes from her home.

Here she is doing her back bends/bridges.



Learning the placement on how to do cartwheels.



Kenna likes the balance beam work alot! She likes baby crawls on the beam and bunny hops on the beam!



She likes just the regular walking on the beam too! Overall she enjoys the beam.



One of her favorite things is the CHALK!



She loads up her hands of chalk to get ready for the bar work!



She plays with it too!!

Here she is on the bars. Her teacher has to do most of the work for her still but she thinks it is so fun.




She enjoys the tumbling part maybe the most but all the pictures I took were too blurry. I am glad she enjoys it all so much.

Look at me, me, me,.... I'm three,three, three.................

Hard to beleive that it has been three years since Kennedy was born and came to join our family. April 6th 2006 was a wonderful day!! I always knew I would enjoy finally having my lil girl to play with and dress up and enjoy I just never knew how much fun it would actually be!! She is such a delight and sweet addition to our family. She brings out a side in the boys that is so sweet to witness and no it isn't all the time they all still have their moments but over all her sweet caring spirit is a blessing in our home.





She has changed a bit since birth. She has gone from a brown haired darker skinned baby than what we were use to, to a glowing white sandy blond haired baby that is totally what we are use to!!





For her birthday this year we had to do somthing that she wanted to do so of course we ended up at the Build-A-Bear Factory. When all the fun was over then we went to Dairy Queen right next door. My mom and dad had came to enjoy the fun. I don't know if I can honestly say my dad had fun but my mom did. My dad enjoyed the icecream at least!



We had to pose for pictures first. Kenna is a total ham she LOVES to have her picture taken and she loves to look at pictures of herself!!! She was sportin her pink tutu with her blingin "Birthday Princess" tank, cupcake necklace and cupcake purse!






She picked out a pink monkey with hearts on it. She named her Strawberry Cupcake! She has recently fell in love with strawberries and she was happy to have birthday cupcakes. Walker got a Zebra he named "Zippy Zebra". He is into rhyming right now and thought that rhymed..ummm...yeah... we had to tell him they only have the same first letter!LOL He trys. Carter got a scotty dog that he named Rhino. Cooper decided he was to big for a stuffed animal so he gladly helped Walker. I think he secretly wanted one too but was being a "Big Boy". Tanner just went around helping out with which ever sibling needed his help. He is a great helper to me almost all the time. We all had an enjoyable time!

On a side note we had been working on this whole potty training thing but she hasn't figured it quite out yet........

EASTER

We had a nice Easter this year. We got the kids sand buckets for baskets so they could use the buckets and toys at the totlot across the street when we go over there to play. My friend Vicki had said that that was what they always do for thier kiddos and I thought it was a great idea! We had a nice sacrament service at Church then we went home early....everyone did actually. There was not enough people there to teach classes so we went home to enjoy the day with our family. I hadn't seen our ward so small before. After some last minute location changes we wound up having my parents over for Easter dinner. It was nice to be able to enjoy the day and remember the true meaning of Easter and the blessings and love our Savior has for each and everyone of us.

Well in March Cooper participated in his last Pinewood Derby Car race! When it rolls around for next spring he will be in 11 year old scouts and Carter will be having his first Pinewood Derby experience. He was all into making his car and loving all of that process but when racing time began he wouldn't race. He is so weird about having attention drawn to him he stood in the back of the cultural hall. I put his car up and raced it any ways after he won the first race he inched his way over to watch. After he won another then he put his car up on the platform himself to race whenever it was his turn. He didn't get second place like last year he got either 4th or 5th. I am happy he participated!!



We had Pack Meeting immediately following the races and he was thrilled with his awards he had earned!


Kennedy and Walker entertained themselves by watching the races and crawling under the chairs. Kenna also was seeing how close she could get to the rope without getting in trouble for going under it!! LOL
