Thanksgiving in Arizona

We had a great Thanksgiving in Arizona, full of family, food & Dance 3 for the WII :) We even went on a walk thru the bird preserve in Gilbert.  Only complaint was the drive home... it took us about 9 hours

The Last of Halloween

The girls had a great time at the ward "Trunk or Treat" party.  They loved the games and loved getting the candy. My sister Amy came to help trick or treat on Halloween night.  The girls buckets got so full so we filled their witches hats with their candy to lighten their load,  but Kennedy was too worried about her candy so she had to have it back in her pumpkin and lugged that thing around.  It was a struggle to take her candy away both nights.  In fact as she was going down for a nap the following day, she was still saying "Trick or Treat"... in her crib :)

Irvine Park 2011

Lindsay & Will

Lindsay Matthews kids :)

We got to go to the Irvine Railroad Pumpkin Patch Park again this year. Its becoming an annual tradition and the girls love it! We went with my girlfriend Lindsay and her new husband Will and our other friend Lindsay "Clark" Matthews and her family. We had lunch at the park and then the girls got to, jump in a bounce house, go thru a "spooky house", and go thru the hay maze.

Apple Country

Last week we ventured up to Apple Country.  There actually weren't very many apples :(  But we still had fun walking around, eating, and at the petting zoo.  Kennedy loved this little goat. Who are we kidding Kennedy loved every animal. 

RENO 911

The first of October we (Grammy, Keely, Kennedy & I) drove to visit my brother Craig in Reno, NV.  They moved there this summer.

Keely & cousin Ally.  Keely had so much fun playing with her.

My Brother and their dog, Bentley

Reno has wild horses.  

We went to the new Children's Discovery Museum.

We also went to a cool Pumpkin Patch

We had a fun time hanging out with family and seeing their new home!

Zoomar's Petting Zoo

On Kennedy's birthday weekend we went to Zoomar's Petting Zoo in San Juan with our friends from church the Crosbys.  The girls got to pet/feed rabbits, guinea pigs, chickens, goats, sheeps, pigs, mini horses and more.  Keely was scared of almost everything...  Kennedy loves animals.  She would pet anything.

click... take a pic

We just went to Sear's to get Kennedy's 2 year old photos.  (I picked them up tonight and scanned them, so they aren't the best quality online, but cute in person)  Funny story.  While Kennedy was getting her pictures taken, Keely was in the back standing with Kevin and asked several times if she could get her pictures done too.  We kept telling her no. (because her hair wasn't done and she wasn't wearing anything cute)  Well finally we gave in and got a cute pic. of the two of them.  It is funny, at least to me, because when Keely got her 3 year old pictures done two months ago, I couldn't even get her to smile and she cried I left so frustrated with her.  So now we know the trick is to pretend that she isn't getting them and focus on Kennedy to get her comfortable in front of the camera.

Look who's 2!!

We were pretty low key for Kennedy's 2nd birthday.  My Mom, Keely, Kennedy & me went to Chuck E Cheese to play and for lunch and at night had a small family party with Rockwell cupcakes and presents.   We didn't take very many pictures because we flip video'd most of it.  She was really sweet with each present she would say "What is it?"  She got a Dora tent, Stackable blocks, a pretty dress, Barbie, Princess & the Frog DVD, Dolly, and more!  She was very happy!
Her 2 YEAR OLD STATS: 28.8 lbs & 34 3/4 inches tall.
