Partaaayy Week!

This past week my parents were in town and we had a week full of partying! My great grandma turned 100, my nephew turned 12 and received the priesthood, my brother-in-law turned a year older, my niece turned 8 and got baptized, and we celebrated Kennedy's first birthday (even though her birthday isn't until Nov. 15th, we just did it while my parents were here)!

Here are some pictures of our fun week... (prepare for a picture overload)


This is my tender great grandma that is 100 years old!

My mom and I went to the Apple store and Kennedy was really into the computer games...

Her birthday cake...
She did not like it...

After the party we opened some presents.
She got some fun books for church.
And this is her new face... the "OOOO" face... she does it ALL the time.

11 Months

I can't believe Kennedy is 11 months old already!! She is growing up so fast! These pictures are from Kennedy's play date with Griff and Titan.


Kennedy loves to take Titan's binki...
Although she totally looks like a boy, is this not the cutest smile you've ever seen?!!??!
Kennedy sure can give some dirty looks...
Thank for the pictures again Molly!


I took Kennedy out into the rain the other day and she did not like one bit of it. So she decided to just hang out in her bath robe.

We went on a walk the other day with Emily and Titan and the kids just could not stay awake. I think Kennedy got my dad's ability to fall asleep in any position... no matter how uncomfortable it is...
This is one of her favorite faces. She breaths really loud and does this face when she's excited.
Grandma Allen got her her first pair of Halloween jammies.

Kennedy is so much fun to have around! I love every second of everyday that I get to spend with her!!
