Kennedy you are growing so much each day! I swear you grew an inch just this last week! You are so sweet and love being held. You love acting older than you are because you are already wanting to sit up. You hate being on your back while being held. I guess you just want to be a big kid already!

Unfortunately you got sick with RSV :(

Swinging Twins

We ventured out to the neighborhood park the other day and decided to try the twins luck on the big kid swings!

They did awesome! They hung on the whole time and didn't let go! I'm always so bad at letting them try the new things but they have to try sooner or later and grow up! 

Happy New Year!

Each year we find ourselves more tired and less fun to say the least! Maybe when the kids get older we will get back into the swing of things. We went over to Clark's parents for some yummy treats and let the kids play with their cousins. We headed home around 10 and were in bed at 11:50! Party Animals....! 

Kennedy partied way to hard!

Us trying to stay awake!

May 2014 bring joyous blessings!

Christmas 2013

I couldn't wait for Christmas this year because we were going to close on our house just a few days before and move in! We started building our house in August and it seemed like forever that it took to get done but it's done and all that is just a blur! We obviously didn't decorate our house or put up a tree but we did invite my family to come celebrate Christmas with us! It was awesome having them because they were able to help me with the kids while I unpacked more boxes!

On Christmas Eve we went over to Clark's family's house and exchanged gifts! The kids were not feeling good and poor Kennedy had gotten RSV a few days before that.

The next day was Christmas! Santa brought the kids each a toy and they loved it! They understand Christmas more this time around. We are grateful for our Saviors birth and the gift of giving!

Thanksgiving 2013

We had Thanksgiving at Clark's family house this year. We were actually living there for 2 months while our house was finished being built! It was a great day full of yummy food and family! I'm so thankful for our family and love that we have a day we can celebrate our blessings! Here is a picture we snapped of Kennedy!

Clark's uncles family was in town for Thanksgiving and his wife was so kind to take family pictures for us!

Nashville Zoo

My parents came in to town for Kennedy's baby blessing so we decided to have some fun and venture to the Nashville Zoo! 

They had a really neat kangaroo encounter! You could walk up and touch them. Reminds me of when we visited Australia and played with the kangaroos!

Beckham loved all the fish and snakes in the exotic tanks.

We liked it so much we decided to get a year membership!

Kennedy's Baby Blessing

Today was a wonderful day. Clark blessed our baby girl Kennedy at church. Its so special and spiritual to see Clark and all the men in the family stand around and be apart of this special occasion. My family was able to come in town for the blessing so it was so fun to see them for a day! Kennedy wore the same white dress Brooklyn was blessed in. We love our growing family!

Halloween 2013

Every year our church puts on a fun trunk or treat and chili dinner. We put on our costumes and headed on over. We are new to this ward in Tennessee and were also hoping to meet some new people too! The chili was pretty good and the kids really enjoyed walking around to each car and getting candy! It sure was cold though!

Meet the cat and the mouse! Beckham's mouse costume was actually mine when I was three. My mom handmade it!

Halloween was postponed until Nov. 1st because the weather was so bad and icky. The kids obviously didn't mind. They had so much fun going to each house and knocking on the doors. The best part was this neighborhood gives out full size candy bars... YUM! Kennedy was our little skeleton this year. She is growing so fast and barely fit into her outfit. We went trick or treating with all the little cousins and that made it really fun! 

Oh and our in laws live a few houses down from Gary Levox (lead singer of Rascal Flatts)..NO BIG DEAL! We def. made sure to hit up that house!

Picking Pumpkins and Pumpkinfest

Yay for cold weather and seasons! We love Tennessee so far and are enjoying the nice weather we have been given. A few weeks before Halloween we headed out to pick some pumpkins for the kids. Beckham and Brooklyn had fun finding the perfect little pumpkin they could hold. They were so cute! Kennedy had a pretty rockin time just chilling in her car seat... :)

We also have had a little more family time on the weekends since moving here. I LOVE that. We headed over to the big Pumpkinfest in Franklin. There were tons of food and boutique vendors. The kids were actually coming down with a sickness hence Beckham's facial expression but we didn't know. They seemed to have fun though! The homemade pumpkin doughnuts were pretty tasty too!
