September

Here is a little group of pictures that I took of Kenzie the other day while she was playing outside. She LOVES going outside, I mean LOVES! First thing in the morning she goes over to our screen door and says "side" then she goes and gets her shoes and brings them to me. It's just so fun watching her grow & learn new things.
Kenzie is talking so much these days, she will pretty much parrot anything you say at this point. She still loves her kitty, and has learned how to pick him up successfully without choking him! HA!
Tim and I are doing good too :) The shop is busy and he has been avidly going out every waking moment that he is not at work just hoping that a big elk will step in his path!
Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Kenzie is 1

I had such a blast taking pictures of McKenzie getting into her cake, she is so curious and had sooo much fun squishing it in her little hands, and then smearing it all over her chubby little face and eventually the cats! yes, she tried to feed the cat, although I don't think he needed any help.

cake smash

I adore this one of Kenz, I tried to keep the cat out of the cake, but come on, who can resist cake! So I did what I had to do to get the best pictures, and let my 1 year old daughter and kitten eat the cake right off the platter :) Quite the bonding experience wouldn't ya say ;)

I love the simplicity of this picture of McKenzie on her cake smash day! I love how the white background with the banner is so subtle and that little look on her face is so sweet :)

1 Year

My little tiny baby is 1, well as of Wednesday she is. I so wanted to write this on the actual day but I was to busy spending it with the birthday girl.


As of today, Kenzie has been so happy and healthy, I feel so lucky to have been blessed with her in mine and Tim's (who will now be called Great White Hunter) life.
Parenthood has definitely been more challenging than what I thought it would be, but that's usually how it goes right? Nothing is ever too easy I have come to learn, but wow! what an amazing experience it has been, and nothing as been as rewarding as being in her life.
My favorite things have been watching her grow, watching her learn to smile, roll over, sit up, feed herself, well it's kinda like she feeds herself..... or the dog or cat or Tim & I and most recently we now have to feed the deer above our table before she will even consider taking a bite
She loves to be outside playing in the dirt with the water hose. My flower pots are mysteriously uprooted about once a week, hmmm...
I adore watching her & Great Hunter play, he adores her so, and she is such a daddy's girl that whenever he is around she is his little shadow.
I would not change ONE thing about this past year, and while I rocked her to sleep tonight and felt those soft little baby fingers around my neck I couldn't help but think that I am the luckiest mamma in the world! I have a healthy, happy girl who is so vibrant and full of life, and hubby who loves me so.
My cup runneth over.

There is nothing I love more than looking into my little girls eyes and seeing her so happy and joyful! What a great reward for me :)
