Brady Bunch - Opening Theme (Season 1)

Kenzie loves the Brady Bunch everyday we have to watch it and she loves to sing the theme song- with me I might add. So yes we get our fake microphones, whatever is near, a flashlight, wooden spoon etc. I have to admit it is pretty fun and I feel so young. I hope she remembers this years from now, and laughs...

Fun memories...

I have been a terrible blogger... I have been so bad at getting my pictures on CD so I can upload them. So in the mean time, I wanted to post about the things Kenzie is enjoying right now before I forget...



I bought this about a month ago and hung it on her wall so she could look in the mirror as she loves to make facial expressions. We have been singing I Am a Child of God each night for awhile and everynight she looks in this mirror and says " mom watch, Kenzie (Sensie) is a child of God" It melts my heart everytime. I just love her.




This is her favorite book right now... she loves to read it with me, I can't believe she has this entire book memorized. I think we have read this every night for over a month...









We have had a family of Snails this summer and on the mornings when I water the lawn they all come out... Kenzie just loves to look at them and watch them move, she calls them mommy snail, daddy snail and baby snails... so funny...

Out with Thomas the Train

So this was our day out with Thomas the Train in Heber city. she had a really fun time with her cousins and loved going on the train.

You can't tell by her expression but she really is having a good time. She kept saying cheese and then didn't smile. funny girl...

Her and her cousins had fun in the diplays they had set up...

Still a farm girl...

So this is Kenzie riding a pony at Wheeler farm, I really think someday we are going to need to invest in Horses, she loves them...

Everywhere we go she has to pick up a stick, I don't know how many of these I have had on the floor of my car because they just had to go with us...

This was a fun tree house, it had two rooms and she loved it...

So this is her with the pigs and chickens,and goats... She loves the farm, too bad her mom does not... so we will just have to visit. So happy it's free...

This was a really cute seat and she was loving it...

This turkey was huge...

More horses she just loves them...

Love this picture, she is just having so much fun... both her Great grandpa's that past away were farmers and I think she spent time with them before she came her on earth with us... She loves the farm!!!

The Aquirium...

This was at the Aquirium for her cousins Birthday and she loved it, she loves Fish anyway but she could have stayed all day...

Kenzie and her cousin Katelyn...

She so wanted to touch this stingray, but her arms were not long enough and I was not able to hold her to let her do it, so hopefully next year.

These are Alligators in the water they were big and I was amazed... this was cool.

And of course a frog... we had a great time!

Off to the Zoo...

So last October I think, we went to the Zoo lights and Kenzie and her cousins had so much fun. All bundled up and then we got Hot chocolate after. nummy...This was really a fun time to go all the animals were so active it was great to see that.

So this is the new baby elephant and Kenzie just loves the Elephants, so this is normally our first stop everytime we go... Luckly we have a Zoo pass this year so we should have a fun summer...

And of course the Girraffs, Kenzie loves them also, they have been so active lately when we have visited. So fun.

Kenzie's Birthday!

We can't believe Kenzie is already 3yrs old... She is just growing up so fast. So this year I thought I was going to do a Princess theme for her Birthday but of course 2 weeks before her party she only wanted Thomas the Train, so I guess the good new is we went from Tractors to Trains, Maybe next year?


So this is just before our party began.








With Daddy's help she had so much fun. We loved the Easter Dress from Grandma B.

Lots of clothes and some toys, and lots of help from her cousins.

And hey I thought the cake would turn out better but when I started to get it ready to frost the decorating tips that I had bought didn't match the frosting bags, so this was what I got... Next year I hope we get it right. It was so fun and great to have so much family there.

On the road again.

Just a quick note, so Scott is working in Moab and will be there until October, we are grateful he has a job and I am able to stay home with Kenzie, we miss him so much and try to see each other as much as possible.
So since he will be gone for so long we decided it would be best for me to move closer to his folks and family, so last month we moved to Salt Lake City- in Murray- we are just off Vanwinkle Parkway if you are fimilar with the area. I am so loving the area and Kenzie is having a blast being near her cousins and all the fun things we do. We hope by this time next year we are in our own home and are not longer moving, as I am so sick of packing and unpacking.

What's New

So it has been forever it seems since I last posted. Life has been busy, and I still need to get my pictures uploaded so that will be coming, but I wanted to give some updates on Kenzie.
She is just changing so much and so much fun we just love her.
She knows her colors now and can count to 7.
She has started saying her ABC's
She is a riot, she loves the wizard of OZ and many disney classic's and everyone that is mean is a witch.
well while watching the Wizard of OZ she gets out my kitchen broom and tries to fly, and everytime that it doesn't she turns to me and says " It not work"
so funny. I try to tell her that you need a magic broom for that and mommy doesn't have one. she gets very frustrated over it as she wants to fly on the broom.
She gets her baby doll and dances while the princess in the disney films dance with there prince, this is so cute. she tries to make sure to hold there had just so and twirl the baby around, it is really so sweet.
She is trying to go on the toliet now but still wants to wear diapers, she will sit on the toliet but doesn't want to pee in it, she waits until she is off the toilet and a diaper is back on to do that, then she says " Ot Oh" I peed, really, so funny. Hoping by the end of summer she is potted trained.
I will be posting pictures soon of her Birthday we can't believe she is already 3 time has just gone by so fast. We are loving every minute of it.

Lunch with Kate

This is one of her favorite cousin's "Kate" and we went to lunch and boy did they have fun, Kenzie wanted to share chairs and wanted to make sure they ate right next to each other.

Kenzie is really becoming social and loving playing with other kids, she also likes to make sure, she is not left out of anything... and finally she is saying "cheese" everytime we take pictures and is enjoying posing and smiling for the camera... I thought that day would never come.

Breakfast with Santa...

This was a fun morning, with her Grandma Belnap's primary they had Breakfast with Santa. She was having a good time with her cousins and when the big man came... She wasn't for sure if she wanted to sit on his lap or not?

But then she saw he was giving out candy canes, and well that is all it took... She then sat on his lap and was trying to figure out how to get the candy cane's from his bag... so cute...

We hope you all had a Merry Christmas...

I love the season

I love this time of year, maybe because everyone reflects on what they have and how grateful they are for that, and what they can give to others; or maybe it is the feeling of the spirit in our hearts that reaches out to others and helps them to open there heart...But I feel it is because Christmas is to remember Christ our Savior's birth, that his love and example and sacrafice he made for all or us, really lives on in each of us... I'm so grateful for so many things and not only do I love Christmas music, Hot chocolate, a good snowball fight... But I love giving to others, and enjoy all the stories of those that give and make this world a little brighter, a little more bearable and alot more full of love, which reflects so much of our saviors life, he was the ultimate example in teaching us to, Love one Another. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas.

Kenzie and Halloween...

This is Kenzie right before we left for Trunk Or Treat... She has loved this eye patch for over two months, but of course on this day when it becomes part of her costume, well forget it. So this is the only picture I got with it on...









She is having so much fun - her cousin is in the back ground, she truly loved this event, once she figured out that every car she went to she got candy, you could hardly keep up with her as she was going as fast as she could to get to the next car... It was a great night. We all have a lot of fun!









I think her smile says it all. Can't wait for next year!

And then there was Thriller...

I love this Video, I still think it is one of the all time Best... so were the 80's my Era, I just feel there was so many great bands and dance moves that still are in the music and dances we see today. I will forever love the 80's and when it's Halloween you gotta have Thriller!!! (before playing go to the bottom of this page and turn off my music). Enjoy...

Odds and Ends

Here are some pictures of Kenzie over the last few months.



She is getting ready for the 24th, Days of 47' parade in SLC, this was a great parade and I think it's a new tradition with Grandma Belnap...






This is classic Kenzie, her security Bunny that she is almost never without, and of course her favorite Thumb sucking... So I think we will be paying for braces for sure, just hoping she quites before School...

















This was a fun day, she loves to put this in her hair, by her self (Very Independent)... and she loves to play with my gloves, shoes etc, but I thought this was a cute picture... Oh we love her...
