Our Christmas...

We had a lovely Christmas. We were sad that we couldn't be with more family but we had a good time and got spoiled rotten! Kenzie loved opening everyone's presents! Oma made her piggy pj's and she loved them! Her favorite present was probably her new vaccuum which she used with daddy this morning!
Jalie wanted to make sure we didn't forget about her this Christmas. She started giving me contractions Christmas night. They didn't go away for almost 24 hours! But no labor yet... just lots of fun pain until she's ready to come!
JT finished the corrections academy and has 5 days left of his field training. On the 4th he will offically be on his own as a corrections officer! We are so proud of him... plus he looks really good in his uniform!! We are just hoping for a position that is at the jail 2 minutes away rather than 40 min in seattle!

Stupid Snow!!

I remember wishing for snow as a child. I would pray that there would be enough snow to cancel school and have a white christmas. Now that I am out of school I wish snow didn't even exsist!! Last night JT had to work in Seattle. He had to park on the street because the parking garage was blocked with snow. He got home around 1130 last night and parked in our garage. This morning when we were getting into the car to go get some groceries I noticed that the side of our car had been smashed in! Yeah we were alittle upset! Someone must have hit him and just left! now our nice car looks like crap and we have a $500 deductable! but we are counting our blessings because it is still drivable. It is getting us through these horrible driving conditions. I love our subaru!! hopefully we can afford to get it fixed soon! Now we are hoping and praying for rain to clear the roads to our christmas destinations! I hope everyone else is safe around here!

December storms

So the weather is crazy this year!! For those of you who haven't lived in Washington most of your life maybe you don't realize that we aren't used to snow like this! We have been getting snow every couple days and then it's not melting cuz it's freaking cold!! The driving is terrible and so we just stay home. I'm getting alittle stir crazy though!! This is our car in our parking lot at 830 this morning!

Kenzie doesn't like the snow!!



So here is Kenzie in her tutu I made her for christmas... i don't know if I'm going to still wrap it up and put it under the tree or not cuz she had to try it on!


Uncle Kellan had surgery on his sholder last week and is having a hard time playing his computer games. It's a good thing Kenzie loves to help! (the mouse on her side isn't connected) But he gives her high fives whenever they do good! Such an awesome uncle!

Christmas Photos!

So my mom wanted to go to sears and get professional pics of Kenzie taken this year... however, Kenzie did NOT want to cooperate! She is not one to smile when asked! So my friend Danni came over today and we took pics of her in front of our tree. I think some of them turned out really good! They definately show her personality!
We are sooo excited for Christmas this year. We love the family time and the focus on Christ and giving. Tonight JT is going with his class to play bingo at an oldfolks home, tomorrow we are going to the ward chirstmas party and on Saturday we are spending time with Kerianne and Ethan... Kenzie is sooo excited to see them! I'm getting ready to do some holiday baking even though my doctor told me that I need to watch how much sugar I eat! Ha ha really? Does she really think she can get a prego woman to say no to sweets around the holidays?? ha ha I'll try to be good but i'm not making any promises!!

Good book!!

To anyone who likes Stephenie Meyer...She reccommended this book on her website and so I read it. IT WAS GOOD!! Definately worth reading! http://www.scholastic.com/thehungergames/

Vacation part 2!

Sorry it took me so long but here are the rest of the pics from our vacation!

Here's Kenzie and her cousin Jaxson... they are almost the same size but a year apart! They had fun playing together (at least when Kenzie wasn't hitting him!)

She is so lovely in pics huh?? Brat!

We took a trip to Tubac, Az with Josh and Danielle and had alot of fun. We took these pics at the resturaunt we went to for lunch... it was pretty good mexican food but small portions and high prices!

Yeah... that's my goofy hubby!

The pies for thanksgiving!! YUMMY!!

So Granny Sue didn't want her pic taken but here's Kenzie loving her apple!!

Jazz and I on our last day together! Isn't she beautiful??

Kenzie had sooooo much fun with the Arnett's! She was beyond tired from not taking a nap and Caleb and Daniel did such a good job of keeping her happy and entertained! I love that family!

Vacation Part 1

So we are about 3/4 through our vacation... I don't want it to end! We are having so much fun with family and friends! The thanksgiving turkey is in the oven and the christmas presents are being wrapped! Tonight we will celebrate the holidays with the Judd side of the family... (the pecan pies are smelling good!)

Grumpy or "Dumpy" as Kenzie says...brought over his dump truck from work today and Kenzie was terrified of it... she was only okay if daddy was holding her! So cute!

Jazz is home from her mission and we had so much fun hanging out with her this past week! Kenzie and I are sure going to miss her when we go back home!

She is soooo pretty!!

It's my birthday!!

Happy Birthday to Me!! ha ha and my lovely mother! I'm officially half her age today! She had me on her 24th birthday and 24 years later here I am! It has been a great day so far... I'm in AZ soakin up the sun (except now while Kenzie takes a much needed nap!)

Sick Baby!!

So we are in Az and ever since we got here it seems like our health is failing us! Kenzie started coughing more and I lost part of my mucous plug and started cramping.... scarry considering I'm only 29 weeks prego! Anyways so we got that under control with hydration and rest but Kenzie kept getting worse. She doesn't even want to play... I checked her temp last night and it was over 103. Very scarry for me! She is 21 months old and this is by far the sickest she's ever been! I don't like it! We have been giving her tylenol and it brings it down to 99 so we just keep giving her more every 4 hours. I hope she gets better soon! It's no fun to be on vacation when you don't feel good!

The joys of Parenting!

I walked in to check on my napping daughter... and this is what i find! Her jeans were on the floor... how sweet huh? I hope there isn't too big a mess to clean up when she wakes! She is so darn cute!

Very Interesting!

My mom showed this to me... it's very eye opening! It's worth your time to watch!

My Active Child!

So I have been trying to take more pictures lately, however Kenz doesn't like to stay still for more than half a second. I finally got a picture of her smiling this morning so I have to share it! It was such a rare occurance!

I wish she wasnt still sucking on her binky!! She has such an adorable toothy grin!
So here are the other pictures of her that I've been trying to get. She loves her Halloween costume and has been begging to wear it all the time! At least we are getting our money out of it!

Poor Baby!!

So Kenzie is sick sick sick. I hate to see her suffer! Her little nose is raw from wiping it and her eyes are swollen and infected. I wish I could take away her pain!! Although now I am sick too... I don't know how to keep everything clean enough when there are germs spreading everywhere!! Hopefully things will get better soon!! At least she is still smiling!!

Jalie at 25 weeks!

So here is our little Jalie! Only 15 more weeks or so till she will be out in this world and look how cute she is already!! Some of the pics look funny becuase of the position she was in. She has her hand on her right cheek and the eyes wouldn't show on some so we just see the eye sockets. Alittle freaky but look at those cheeks!! And her little chin! Adorable!! I can't wait to see her get bigger!

Those are some Judd cheeks if I ever saw them!!


Here's Kenzie and JT at the Puyallup Fair this year. Kenzie loved the carosel until it started moving!!

Our Home!!

So we are finally in our new place! We love it! There are still some boxes to go through but for the most part the house is all set up! It took alot of work with Kenzie always one step behind me destroying everything in sight!! So here is the tour for those of you who won't be able to see it for yourself!

This is our living room... the couches are really pretty colors... but you can't tell in this pic!!

My desk (I'm going to try to start scrapbooking!!) the fireplace and entertainment center

Our Bedroom... Kenzie is eating something she's not supposed to like always!... this is the only room not done yet. Note the boxes!!

Computer in our room... not really anywhere else to put it in the house!

Our master bath

The Kitchen

This is supposed to be the entry way but we are using it as a dining room. That way Kenzie's chair is over the lanolium (sp) and the sliding glass door is actually easier to use as a front door!Something will eventually go on that wall above the table but I don't have a good idea yet!

The main bath... it's really big but hard to take a pic of!

Kenzie's room

I still want to decorate more, but we have to have the money first!!
