Apple Picken' Fun

Kennedy and I went to the apple orchard with my sister and her two girls.

We took a wagon ride through the orchard and the pumpkin fields.

Kira, Me and Kennedy taking a self portrait during the ride.
The self portraits got a little crazy when Becka joined in...Brooke and I were actually trying to pose nice for the camera :)

Apples!

Fellow wagon riders and a beautiful view...

It was a perfect day to see all the wonderful colors of fall.

...awesome view continued.

My little pumpkin strudel!

Becka's little pumpkin heads!

With fresh apple crisp, apple bars and pumpkins in hand, we just missed the down poor of rain as we ran to the car just in time. A great way to spend one of the last warm days of the year!

Zoo Fun!

We took Kennedy to the zoo to see all the animals...

she loved riding around on daddy's shoulders

Of course mommy needed a picture with her sweetheart

Hold on tight Kennedy
She loved pointing at all the animals and making noises at them

Picnic at the Park

Chris and I took Kennedy for a bike ride to the park

She loved swinging...
especially with daddy
daddy and Kennedy played on the gym set
mommy and Kennedy went down the slide together
then we had a little picnic

Kennedy's 1st Birthday

Kennedy's 1st Birthday!

she wasn't very sure of her first taste of cake...
but she quickly decided that it was very yummy
she sat very quietly eating her cake...
making sure to get every last bite...
until it was all gone

then it was time to open presents

she loved ripping the paper
Kennedy's first doll!
for me?!
Awww!
Auntie Misty put together a picture book of Kennedy's first year

Kennedy also got push clakker
she thought that she would try to wear the dolls shoes
Daddy will you help me put on the doll's shoes?
Kennedy and John

What a great day!

Garden Girl

During our lastest trip to New York to visit family, celebrate Kennedy's first birthday and the fourth of July, Kennedy and I took some time to look at the pretty flowers in the yard.

She loved the way it felt and was so interested in each petal.
So precious!




My beautiful Garden Girl!

Easter

Easter Sunday we dressed Kennedy up in a pretty little dress.

She posed for me in the living room before we went to church.
After a while of sitting still she got restless and started crawling towards me :)
After church we went over to my mom's house where she had a basket waiting for Kennedy...
She sat on the couch unloading her goodies.
I don't think she really knew what to do with it.
I think she liked the basket better than what was inside...
so she dumped everything out to play with it.
One of her gifts was a ducky puppet...which she absolutely loves!
Her cousin Luke read her a picture book...
she sat next to him playing really good while he showed her the book.
Kennedy and her cousins.
And of course, I had to get my picture taken with this beautiful little princess.
Happy Easter!
