Adjusting...

So JT started the BLEA... Basic Law Enforcement Academy this week! It has been exciting and scary! It's definately taking some adjusting for us. We used to be able to spend so much time together but now we only get to see eachother for a couple hours in the evening and he's working on homework or ironing his clothes! He loves it though and they are definatley whipping him into shape!! ha ha

Kenzie has learned how to throw temper tantrums already.... I thought that came around the terrible two's but I was wrong! She hits and pulls hair and has no clue what the word "no" means but I love her all the same! She also learned how to give really good hugs and that makes up for all the hitting and scratching! She loves her new babysitter and gets so excited when she goes over there! She is now walking more than crawling but is VERY wobbly! She is getting into more and more around the house and it's hard to keep up with her! Well now I know what being a mother is all about!!

Happy Birthday Landon... Happy Birthday Kenzie!!

It's Kenzie's Birthday today! And her little cousin Landon was born yesterday afternoon! They are exactly 1 year and half a day apart in age! Kandis had a wonderful delivery and sounds like she is doing wonderful! Landon is such a cutie in these pictures and I can't wait to see him in real life! Kenzie took her first steps yesterday! She sure does grow up fast! She can't wait to see her cousins too!

I'M ALMOST 1!

We took Kenzie's one year pics at JCPenny's and they just sent me the pictures... they are so cute! They are low resolution though becuase I didn't buy a CD or anything but I wanted to share them!!

Pigtails!!

So it's been a fun week, JT's getting ready for the Academy and Kenzie is learning to walk! She has been so much fun lately. She has been letting me do her hair and I love the pigtails! She looks so girly! She got a new purple and brown dress for her birthday and she looks so pretty in it.... even with spaghetti stains on her cheeks!! ha ha I can't believe our little girl will be 1!! We are looking forward to next week... it's going to be a busy one for sure! JT starts his new job on the 12th, kenzie's b-day is the 13th and we are celebrating valentines that day too because I have school till 930 pm on the 14th and then the 15th we are leaving JT behind to go with Oma and Poppi to go see Aunt Kandis and my new nephew! we are way excited but we have alot to do before we leave!! We are soooo super-duper excited to see Aunt Stephanie and Uncle Daniel... Kenzie has never met her aunt and uncle before so we can't wait to see them while we are in Idaho!

Busy Busy

I haven't taken the time to write in a while, but life is good! Kenzie is growing fast as always! We had a blast this past christmas! Kenzie had so much fun with her grandparents that came up from AZ for new years!! Now she is just weeks away from turning 1! She has such a personality now that just cracks us all up! She is a real ham! When she knows shes being funny she waves her hand at you to get your attention and then giggles! She loves to hold her spoon in her mouth while waving and giggling! She LOVES to play peek-a-boo right now. She will take a shirt or blanket or whatever she can find and put it over her head until you ask, "Kenzie where are you?" then she pulls it down and waits till you say"THere you are!!" She laughs and laughs. She has even started slapping her knee when she laughs... it's halarious! Well JT finds out this week if he got the job with the King County Sheriffs department, we are hoping and praying that they hire him! If they do then he will start the police training academy on Feb, 11th! We are really hopeful! I am currently halfway through with my program the the Gene Juarez academy and just got an award for Featured student artist. My picture will be on the wall for the next two months! I feel pretty special! We are all getting ready to take a trip over to Idaho to see my sister and her family! I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt again! I can't wait!

Time to Play!

Kenzie and I have been having so much fun together lately! She is growing up! She is starting to walk around the room in her walker and while holding onto furniture!

She loves to play with her daddy! When he gets down on the floor she screams and crawls away as fast as she can! Then he catches her and she squeals with laughter!

She learned how to shake her head "no" and it is so funny! Any question you ask she smiles and shakes her head "no".... "do you want mommy to change your diaper?" ha ha of course she shakes her head "no" and I laugh! But then Daddy will ask " Do you love mommy better than daddy?" and once again she will smile and shake her head! She thinks its so funny!

I've been buried in my books this past week and haven't gotten anything done. I read all three books in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer within 5 days! They were so good but now it's back to reality and I've gotta get some house cleaning done!

I am loving doing hair at the Gene Juarez academy and I have to say that I am doing pretty well! I can't wait to get my licence and be able to do it on my own some day!

Our trip to AZ

We had so much fun down in Arizona last week. It was so nice to see all of our family. Kenzie absolutely loved seeing her grandparents and aunts and uncles. She brightens so much around them! We had fun taking Christmas pictures of her and she loved her first thanksgiving dinner!

Now we are back to the real world and work for a couple days but luckily tomorrow is Thanksgiving all over again! I love it!
