Macy is 4!

I can't beleive our little girls is four! She is so big and grown-up lately. She had a princess birthday party along with the pink castle cake. The girls helped me make it which involved sticky frosting fingers everywhere. They loved it! We had a few friends over to celebrate. The girls made bracelets, played a princess game, and went on a "treasure/bear hunt" as Macy called it. Macy is so excited about the princess fishing pole we got her. She can't wait for daddy to take her ice fishing!

Jan. 2011

We had our dance recital in early January. Macy loves to dance! She looked "darling" in her costume and danced beautifully at the recital. I had fun teaching also. Now I am taking a break from teaching dance until the fall. My belly is too big! Macy was so excited before her recital because Grandma Honey was on her way. When the doorbell rang, she ran full speed down the hall and right into Emry. It was a bad collision and in this pic you can see they both had big goose eggs to prove it. Ouch! Macy still has a black eye weeks later.

We had a great trip to Arizona for Christmas. It was so fun to spend a week with Ben, Jamie and the boys. We did so much there that every minute was packed. They got us tickets to an NHL game, we went to the petroglifs, the zoo, the Fiesta bowl parade, and the kids played non-stop. It was so much fun!

Merry Chirstmas!

We have had a busy and fun holiday season. We are getting ready to go to Arizona for Christmas to visit Ben, Jamie, and the boys. We are so excited to see them and have nice weather! We have enjoyed Christmas parties, Macy's first pre-school program, caroling and all the festivities. Here is a pic of the Christmas parade when my mom was here. This is a pic of the girls when we cut down our tree. They were all excited but they only lasted about 2 minutes before they were both crying the rest of the time. Maybe we will have better luck next year.

This is a picute of Macy at her program. She got to wrap herself up and jump out of the box.

We are also on a countdown for the baby to arrive. Check out this profile! Feb 9th is just around the corner!

Fall 2010

It has been a busy and fun fall. We had a fun Halloween. Macy was such a cute Goldilocks and we were the three bears. It was a lot of fun. The girls love trick-or-treating on Fri night to all the businesses. Then we had parties at the rec center and the church. Emry really got the hang of trick-or-treating. She would say "Treat!" and then "tay-new" (for thank you). So cute! She was a little possessive of her candy basket. When she way a guy carrying one just like hers she attacked him and tried to steal it back! He was laughing and we had to explain.

I also took the girls to the Library halloween party. Macy was a skunk, Emry was a lamb, and the baby was a jack-o-lantern. :)

We have had a fun Fall with hunting as well. Clay got a nice buck and an antelope.

I started a new business. I am now a Mary Kay consultant. I have been busy getting that up and running. I am also teaching dance still. Macy is in joy school (a cooperative preschool) so I get to take turns teaching as well. It is a good program for her and she is learning a lot. Emry is running everywhere and we are really enjoying this age. She and Macy play dolls together (and fight like crazy sometimes). Other than that, we are awaiting our new addition in February. We are excited and my belly is growing like crazy. Here is a pic from when I was 20 weeks along.

The Word Is Out!

We are happy to announce that baby Kennington #3 is on the way! We are so excited to welcome a new little one. The due date is Feb. 9, 2011. I have been sooooo sick all summer, but am starting to feel better now. We survived thanks to Clay for doing all of the cooking and dishes, and changing dirty diapers when possible to save me from puking...again! We also spent a lot of time in Star Valley where "Grandma Honey" and everyone was able to help take care of all of us. Macy kept telling me, "Mommy, I'm sorry you are so sick because you have a baby in your belly." And Emry saw me throwing up so much that she started spitting in the toilet to mimic me. We are just so happy to be coming out of that stage. Now my belly is growing and I have even felt the baby move! We are not going to let the gender be a surprise. We didn't know with the girls either and just love the suspense. Now we just have to buy a new car in the next 5 1/2 months!

Family Pictures

We had our family pictures taken in June. Here are some of our favorites!

May 2010

We took a fun trip to Utah recently. It was our goal not to have to go shopping the whole time, but to do fun things with the girls. We went to Temple Square on Friday night. Macy loved the escalators, which she has never seen (there are none that we know of in the whole state of WY!) and she loved the statue of Jesus. A huge highlight for her was to stay in a motel. She thought it was so cool. Emry didn't like it so much and had a hard time going to sleep.


On Saturday we went to a bounce house which was so fun for the girls! Macy was a big kid and went on all of the slides and obstacle courses by herself. (Macy has a big black eye in all of these pics because she ran full speed into a table at Clay's work). Emry loved it too. They were both so worn out by time we went to Eric's wedding at the temple that they both slept through it. After the wedding we went to Star Valley for our newest nephew's baby blessing. Trayson is such a sweet baby. It was a fun weekend. We enjoyed time together not working for once.
