Valentines Day

For Valentine's Day this year, we went to Castles'n'Coasters with the Benefields.  The kids had a blast!  Kenadee and Avie loved the 3 little kid rides and Sam and Kaylee loved all the big rides!  

We started with a round of golf, about halfway through, the girls were begging to go on the rides! :)
Ben got Benson a Transformer for V-Day.
Kenadee got a bear and a mini-rose from Daddy.
Ben spoiled me this year!  He sent me on a treasure hunt.  I found money all along the way, at the end was a card with more money and the promise of a babysitter while Aimee and I had a shopping spree!

I don't know how to change the order of the pictures, so this is the after of the last picture on this post.

I think daddy's face needs to be decorated!!

So I finally decided to give in and load my pictdures onto my sister-in-law's computer.  She's been telling me to forever and I just keep thinking no, we'll be in our own place soon.  Well, here we go, I can now post pictures as things happen in life! :)

Friend Christmas Party

Fun with the Jurcas

We are loving having the Jurca's close again! When they first moved here they were staying at a resort. We were invited to come over and swim. It was Benson's first time and it apparently tuckered him out! Kena touched a cactus while we were there and Kena and Joe decided to try eating goldfish with spoons. Can you believe the beauty of this sunset, Arizona sure is beautiful!!

Christmas

For Christmas we celerated first at Eric and Aimee's, then went to Grandma Sue's house, then went to Nana and Papa's house. It was so fun to be around family this year! We are so grateful to be living in Arizona around cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents!!

Cousin Fun

2 Years Old

Kenadee is 2!!  I can't believe how quickly time goes by!  She is talking more and more everyday.  She loves to sing and to read books.  She has recently been introduced to "Princesses" and always wants to be dressed up.  She takes great care of Benson, helping with bottles, diapers and entertaining!  She weighed in at 24 lbs  5 oz, little one.  Her new favorite phrase is "I do it!"  She loves to say "I love you" and "I a big girl".  For her birthday she got trains, a doll and stroller and some big girl underware.  She has been doing great with potty training!  (I'm sure mainly from watching her cousin Avie.)  Kenadee loves to laugh, to dance and to run.  Life is good when you are 2!!
