crafts with papa

Kenidee loves to cut, and she does really well at it. So today while I was out working on the house Papa Glen taught kenidee how to make hearts, and then snowflakes. The thing on the right is a "snowflake" my dad cut and he thought it looked like a dog so he colored it so everyone could see what he had made. she has so much fun with mama Shauna and papa glen.
Rachelle even took Kenidee to the park today then to get Ice cream. Chelle says I can have the pictures she took so hopefully we can get them posted soon.
I don't know about the rest of you but I am off to bed.

How Sweet!

Rachelle and Bennett taking time out for a nap together! I love this picture.

oh Kenidee

Kenidee is still stealing my camera and taking pictures. I found these pictures of a fly this morning. she is so funny.
She did put us through quite the scare yesterday. My mom has been watching the kids while Robin and I have been out working on the house. Kenidee loves running from my moms house to my grandma's house (there is just one house between them) She loves being outside. So yesterday she was with papa Bear watching a movie, she left the room and he asked her are you going to get a cookie. she told him yes. When she didn't come back he looked in the house for her and couldn't find her. Then he called my mom, she wasn't at my moms. So Papa bear and my mom went looking for her in all her normal spots. she wasn't there. So they branched out and looked for her across the street. they couldn't find her.
In the meantime. A sweet lady saw this little girl walking by herself.(kenidee) She gave Kenidee a sucker and told her to stay with her. The lady called the police and while the police were there with kenidee my cousin Lerin drove by and stopped. One of the officers knew Lerin so he let her take Kenidee to my moms and the police followed. (I am not quite sure where she was but I know she had gone around the corner and down the next street.
My mom talked about it with her but she so doesn't get it. she is only 2 1/2. I asked her about it when we got home and I asked her did the police ask you what your name is? Kenidee said yes. I asked her what did you tell them. and kenidee said I said my name is Ellie! (that is her cousin in washington) So we had a little talk about police and how if they ask you your name you tell them your name. It was so scary. even though I didn't know about it until after it was all over. I am so glad we live where we do. It still gives me little knots in my stomach. I know bad things still happen in our little town but I know alot of the people are honest and really want to help. I am so thankful that Lerin was out and about and saw her. I don't know what would have happened.

counter tops

We got counter tops last week in the kitchen. I really like them. things are getting closer they have given us a move in date of April 1 lets just hope it isn't an April fools joke.
Robin and a few others have pulled late nights this weekend to get all the little stuff done. He is so tired. Poor guy. We have county inspections later this week. So things have to be done. It is going to be a busy next few days. Lets just keep our fingers crossed that we will be able to move in soon!

Three months

Bennett is getting so big. He is changing everyday. He still looks like a little Robin. My brother calls him "little bird."
He has been rolling over for a few weeks. He rolls from his back to his belly, and this morning he rolled from his belly to his back. I got it recorded on my phone but whenever I try to get him with my camera he wont roll over. So I will post it soon.
When he is on his Tummy he puts his feet under him and pushes so he is moving a little. SCARY!
I love his little smile and he loves his sister. I will get after Kenidee for loving him to much and when she lets the poor kid breath he is just a smiling. She got him laughing so hard the other day it gave him the hic-ups. I hope they will always be good friends.

are we done yet??!!

the answer to that question is no not yet, but we are getting closer. They think we will be in now the first of April. Lets just keep our fingers crossed. We just finished our floors and cabinets on Saturday. We are the last house to be done with that. We are having carpet laid on Tuesday. WE got all our appliances also on Saturday. I really can't wait to read all the instruction manuals! I had to hold myself back from opening the boxes so I could get a head start on how things work. There is still a ton of little things to do. It is almost overwhelming.
Kenidee loves to go out to "the new house" Whoever is there she asks them a million times if they want to see her room. She loves her "princess" wall. Robin and Justen put beadboard on her wall and she loves it. After she shows them her room she gives a tour of the rest of the house. We can't wait to be in. I will post more pictures when we get more stuff done.

CSI

Kenidee has become obsessed with my camera. If I leave it somewhere she can see it, she will figure out how to get it. she has taken 70+ pictures on my camera in one "session" The other day I just watched her and she is so serious about taking pictures. She has the funnest look on her face, I would take a picture but she has the camera. She never just looks at the screen on the back of the camera she always holds her face to the camera then tries to take the picture. She loves to take pictures of things way close. It reminds me of CSI when they are taking pics of a crime scene. She is so talented :)
She has become so funny. She picks up on songs so fast. Beck has taught her New York NEw York! She has taught her how to test a mic... she taps on it then clears her throat and then says is this thing on. I need to record her doing all her funny things but when she sees a camera she says CHEESE! Kenidee keeps us on our toes! We love her so much. I know with out her I wouldn't laugh as much as I do now.

Lil' Slugger

Bennett is getting so big... in fact he is 3 months today! These were taken a few weeks ago I will take pics tomorrow of him. Time goes by so fast. yet I almost can't remember how our life was with out him. He is such a happy baby. He loves to laugh and smile. Bennett loves his big sister. She loves him till she gets in a bit of trouble, as soon as she gives him his space he smiles and laughs.
He only really cries when he is ready to eat... and trust me when that time comes he will let you know. We love him!

THE BIG 3-0

Robins Birthday was on feb. 24. What a day it was. I really wanted to make is special for him. I mean you only turn 30 once right. Well..... he worked late and we just did a small birthday party at my parents house with my brothers and sisters, and my grandparents. He said it was just fine but I really wish I could have done more for him.
Robin really never reads the blog but I will let the rest of you know what an amazing man he is. I am so lucky to have him as my best friend and my husband. The last year and a half have been so hard on him. Working building a house and going to school. He is always worn out but makes time to spend with Kenidee and Bennett, oh and me too. He even gets up in the night to help me with Bennett.(when I can get him to wake up) I love you Robin.

A few forgotten pictures.

I have been meaning to post these pictures but I just kind of skipped over them. It is sad when life just gets too busy.
I would love to say that Robin and Kenidee spent time together and built this snow man but Robin did it all on his own. I think his inner child got ahold of him. He did come in and get kenidee and she helped make the snow man a mowhawk. she loved the snowman to death. She has gotten so sad as he has been melting. The other day she told me mom look my snow man lost his head.


Look at my little mans smile! he is so cute

Kenidee helped me make biskets one morning and If you know kenidee you know that she LOVES chocolate. She insisted that we put chocolate chips in the biskets... you know it wasn't so bad.
