Kenraisms

Yesterday was my nephew Will's first birthday. At his party Kenra ate all the frosting off her cake then was complaining that her cake didn't have any frosting on it. My brother-in-law Curtis said, "that's not cake that's crap." Well last night Wade, Keni, and I were talking about our days, and I asked Keni what was something good that happened to her and she said, "I got to play with my cousins at Will's party." Then I asked her about something not good that happened to her, she said, "There was a piece of crap on my plate."

Today Kenra got dressed in her horn corn shirt (unicorn).

When you're talking to Kenra and she says, "Look at my wiener, my wiener hurts," or "I have food on my wiener." She is probably talking about her finger!

Blogging Buddy

Every time I sit down to blog, or play on my laptop this is what I get to deal with. Aren't I lucky!

Ashby Family Party

Miley got to celebrate her birthday with the whole Ashby family. Wade's sister was able to get their church house so we had a big party in the gym. It was lots of fun. The guys got to play basketball while the girls talked and the kids played. Kenra had so much fun playing with her cousins, and Miley enjoyed scooting around the gym floor. She was like a little mop (yuck).
Miley loves her new talking purse!

Ballerina Kenra

Keni started ballet classes last week. She was in heaven. I think if there were one thing that Kenra loves more than anything (besides apple juice) it would be dancing. She can't listen to music and not dance. Wade and I were pretty entertained watching her at dance class, she cracks us up!

Birthday Girl

Miley turned one on Jan. 16th. We had a Smiley Miley pajama party. Everyone came in their P.J.'s and we had breakfast for dinner. Wade and the kids made a fort downstairs while we were cooking.
After dinner we played some games then Miley opened presents. She got some fun toys. Her favorite seems to be a little drum, she loves to suck on the drumsticks. After presents Miley got to eat some cake. She loved to rub the frosting around her hands like lotion. I can't believe my baby is already one!
Here is a list of things we LOVE about Miley...

• She will smile at anyone who makes eye contact with her
• She is a good sleeper
• She is content in any situation
• She sucks on her sleeve or blanket when she is tired
• She doesn't like to sit up or crawl, she would rather hang out on her tummy
• She loves to watch, and play with Kenra
• She loves to take baths
• She has a very mild personality
• She has crazy hair in the morning
  
• We love everything about her!

Check out the massive fort.

Big Helper!

After dinner I had Keni wipe down the table for me. She is getting so big, she could even reach the middle of the table. Looks like I'll be doing the once over :).

Bumper Cars

Wade was driving to work on Wed. morning when the car in front of him slid out of control on black ice. Wade went up on the curb to try to avoid hitting the car but he bumped into it anyway. Wade got out of the car right away because he had a feeling that he would probably get hit again. Sure enough, he got hit two more times! A big Dodge truck hit the back of him, and then a minute later a Durango hit the passenger side door. The car is completely totaled. Thankfully Wade wasn't hurt at all. In fact, I think he found it entertaining. He said it was like watching a "demolition derby."

What happens in Vegas...

On New Years Day we drove down to Las Vegas to stay with some good friends Josh, Tiffany, Skyler, and Dewy Orgill. On the way there we stopped in St. George to visit the Vandermyde's to see their adorable new baby.
We spent 4 days in Vegas, and had so much fun exploring, playing, eating, and covering Kenra's eyes on the strip. We even lost $3.75 gambling.

New Years 2009

We had our annual New Years Eve party at my parents house. We had a cheese, chocolate and steak fondue feast, then we played games, watched T.V., and drank Mountain Dew until midnight. We rang in the new year by making lots of noise, and doing fireworks. Miley was even up at midnight.

Thank you Santa

Christmas morning was so much fun! Kenra got a new doll house and all the cool accessories. Miley got a bunch of cool toys, but of course she was more into the wrapping paper.
Wade got basket ball and tools for work. I got clothes, gift cards, and my new laptop!
