Kenna is 5!

Holy cow! My baby is 5! She has been looking forward to this birthday for months. She is sooo grown up now. All day today she has been telling me all the things she can do because she is 5. She is looking forward to Kindergarten, telling me I will cry without her but it's ok because she will still give me hugs and kisses. She is awesome at hugs. Kenna is a girly-girl and I think it's fun to have one, Kate definitely is not and that's fun too. She doesn't wear her princess dresses as much as she used to, but still loves all things pretty. We took the training wheels off her bike last Monday and she took off. She can ride and stop by herself, but needs help starting. She has been taking her brothers scooters and riding them crazy fast, so we got her this one of her own for her birthday. Look at this cake! I finally figured out the secret having amazing cakes. It's awesome, isn't it. Here's the secret, having my neighbor make it. We have awesome neighbors. Kenna loves to call Michelle during the day and go to her house to play. She also likes to play with Michelle's 14 yr old daughter, Kori. They are so nice to let her hang out at their house. A couple of months ago, Michelle told me she had seen the perfect cake for Princess Kenna, a princess in the pea cake. Then she told me she would like to make it for her. Are you kidding me? She does this for fun. Anyway, of course I was ok with that, since I love making cakes so much, it was a gift to me too. It was so pretty, we didn't want to eat it. It did taste good too. She has some better pictures on her blog, check out her link it you like.

Catch up

I haven't done this for so long, but there are a bunch of pictures I want to put on. I just did this slideshow. Most of them are from Mackay on Easter weekend. Katie sure loved those horses and I'm still hearing almost every day about how much she needs to have one. Since the last post Chase got his tonsils out and four teeth pulled. He came through both very well except his voice is higher and more nasil now. They keep telling me that this will pass with time. Connor has been finishing up testing. He went on a scout camp-out, had a band concert and danced with a girl at Mutual. Kate has had an awesome soccer season ( I have pictures of that on my other computer, maybe next time) and a field trip to a historical farm. Kenna has a dance rehersal and playing. We send Mike's parents off on their mission over Mother's Day weekend with a surprise open house. It was sad to say good-bye, but for a good cause. This feels like a pretty disjointed blog, but that's how life has been lately. We also had my parents down for a very fun weekend in there somewhere. It's all a blur at the moment. I had just better stop.
