Thanksgiving

My parents came out and spent a few days with us for Thanksgiving. It was so nice having them here and just being together. Kennedy loved playing with “maama” and “papa” and I’m pretty sure they loved playing with her! DSC_0346 DSC_0350DSC_0354It was fun hosting my first Thanksgiving!DSC_0360 Of course we had to get some good ‘ol Texas bbq while they were here, Rudy’s is good stuff! DSC_0365

We were grateful to have them here to share the holiday with us.

Great Grandma Visit

My Grandma Jensen came out to visit for 5 days this past week.  It was fun to have her here and show her around San Antonio. We tried to keep busy in between Kennedy’s naps.

We went and had lunch with Zak at work, so she could see USAA. Went downtown to see The Alamo and the River Walk. We explored the San Antonio Zoo, went to La Cantera, tried a new yummy mexican restaurant and of course introduced her to Blue Bell Ice Cream! She was kind enough to watch Kennedy one evening, so we could go on a date, which was wonderful! Sadly the San Antonio Temple was closed while she was here, but we still took her over to see it and just walked around.  We also had fun watching UP, playing games, enjoying the beautiful weather and just having her here. Kennedy provides quite a bit of entertainment these days, so we’d just sit around and watch her a lot too. She sure loved having someone new around and the extra attention, she followed grandma around everywhere she went.

Kennedy the Kangaroo

DSC_0081DSC_0044 She loved our ward trunk or treat, and thought it was pretty cool that people would give her candy when she held out her hand and signed please!

 DSC_0051 DSC_0053 Her pouch came in handy to hold all her candy! She’d reach down and grab another piece when she couldn’t figure out how to open her current one :)DSC_0038

DSC_0056 DSC_0072 Jumping like a Kangaroo! DSC_0155She loves wearing her costume, she brings it over to us all the time wanting to put it on. DSC_0108Are we done taking pictures yet?  DSC_0142She sure makes a cute Kangaroo!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a pumpkin patch last night as a family, they were a bit low on pumpkins since we went so close to Halloween, but we still found one. Kennedy had a great time wandering around, talking to and slapping all the pumpkins!

Trip to Utah!

Kennedy and I were able to go to Utah for 8 days last week.  We had a great time and kept quite busy! We started out in Ogden at a baby shower for my cousin, then spent a few days in St. George with family, then back up north for two cousins’ weddings. We crammed a lot in and loved seeing lots of family and friends.

It was fun being back in Orem, visiting with people in our old neighborhood and catching up with friends and family, wish we could’ve seen more of you, maybe next time.

Catch up

This post is kind of a hodge podge of pictures from the last month. It’s been a busy one, but good as we were moving into our new house (pictures to come), unpacking, getting organized, and having Grandma Barb here for a visit.

Kennedy is at such a fun stage right now, learning and doing new things each day! She’s always amazing us by all the things she does. She signs lots of things which has been very helpful for us! She signs: more, eat, drink, milk, all done, kiss, sleep, please, baby and ball. She can point to her nose, hair, toes and mouth if you ask her where they are at. She also says yes, no, Jesus (so cute), nose, mom, dad, hi, bye, baby and dog. She says woof woof (she’s really good at this one and loves dogs!!), meows like a cat, can gobble like a turkey, and makes the monkey sound. She loves all kinds of animals and loves looking at all her animal books over and over again! She really loves any book though and could sit and look at books for a long time.DSC_0188Kennedy thinks it’s time to take a break from moving and do a little boogie boardin!DSC_0200Having fun playing in the packing boxes with dad
