U of U Bball game

11 February 2009

We were fortunate enough to go to a U of U basketball game back in February (thanks to Kodi's cousin Tyson, giving us extra tickets! Thanks Tyson!!!)

Kodi, Colin, Kennedy, & I all headed to the game together, & met up with Kent (Kodi's dad) & Kory (Kodi's uncle).

I must admit, I'm not a huge sports fan, but have somewhat been converted to watching some Utes & Jazz games with Kodi here & there. I'll admit, it's a lot more fun to watch Basketball & Football, once you actually understand the rules & plays. I still would much rather see a sporting event (of any kind) in person, rather than on our tiny TV at home & so, I was actually quite excited to go to the Utes vs San Diego State Basketball game.

Here are a 'few' of the pics I took at the game

Kennedy had a BLAST!!! This little girl has definitely won Daddy's heart with her love for watching sports with him.

seriously, does it get any cuter?

sadly, this was the best pic of Colin & I together (didn't help that I was taking the pic of us, & thoroughly suck at taking pics at that odd angle)

Kennedy had so much fun with Colin, while at the game. (she, as well as the rest of us, miss him dearly.. it sure was fun having him live with us for a while)

must've been pretty intense! (for both of them apparently. Kennedy was gripping her seat!)

Kennedy & Daddy showing off their tongues - after eating yummy suckers

She told me 'no more pictures' (haha, I DO take sooo many pics! She was bound to say that sooner or later)

Kennedy had so much fun dancing every time the band played music

dancing...

dancing...

Kennedy loves spending time with Grandpa Kent

Grandpa Kent bought kennedy some yummy Dippin' Dots

She really liked the Dippin' Dots ice cream.. Fortunately though for Mommy, she only ate like 5 bites & decided she was finished.. So, I got to indulge in my first ever Dippin' Dots, & I must say, they could very well be one of the yummiest ice creams I've ever tasted! I loved the texture!

This surely was a very intense & stressful game. At one point, Utah had pretty much thrown away any chance of winning.. & yet, somehow, they pulled it together to take back the big WIN! (I don't know how I survived that game... I had Kodi, Kent, Kory, & Colin all stressing out & yelling 'at' players & refs for a big chunk of the game (in my ear ;).. pretty sure I still have some hearing loss, 4 months later! ;)

I'm not gonna lie.. My very favorite part of all sporting events is when the dancers perform! It was even more of a treat to see Kodi's cousin, Kalli, as one of the dancers on the Crimson Line dance team, for the U of U.

These little girls were so adorable! I can't wait to get Kennedy into some sort of dance class! She would have so much fun doing cute little dances like these little girls did!

The final score was Utah 67, SDSU 55

Here is a link with a little info about the game

Kennedy's crayon 'art'

11 Feb 2009
Kennedy Decided she was tired of coloring just on Paper, & wanted to become a REAL artist - coloring on walls!
Luckily, the only thing Kennedy is able to get a hold of is crayons. I can't imagine how hard pen or marker would be to clean off of walls. I am so thankful for modern tools, like the handy little 'magic eraser', which makes getting crayon off of walls a cinch!
I told Kennedy that since she made the mess, she needed to clean it up. She was so good about 'helping' me clean the walls.

Luckily, since this incident, Kennedy hasn't felt the urge to draw on the walls again..yet ;)
I actually really want to get her one of those cute little easels from Ikea. I'm guessing that would be way more fun to color on than just plain paper & coloring books. Just gotta get rid of some of her other millions of toys first, so we have room for an easel.

McDonalds with friends

Such a cutie!
(I've been having trouble with blogger letting me post any words before my 1st photo. only started having this problem the last few times. anyone know of any easy fixes for this?)

11 February 2009
Back in February, My friend Laurel & I took our kids to play at the Mcdonalds by my apartment. (This was before they remodeled Mcdonalds, inside & out!)

Apparently this ice cream cone was very delicious!

Kennedy with her cute little buddy, Noah

Ok, now is that cute or what? He's totally giving her an 'admiration' look

Kennedy, with my amazing friend Laurel

Somehow, I never got a photo of Laurel's other little boy, Ezra. But he sure is a little cutie!

Happy Birthday Kennedy continued...

11 April 2009

The day after Kennedy's Birthday, Kodi & Kennedy went to Kodi's mom & step dad's house to celebrate. I wasn't able to attend, so most of my blogging of photos is off of what Kodi told me... Hopefully details are correct. If not, someone please correct me :)

Coloring Eggs with Grandma Jani

I love this little face she's pulling

Dyed Easter Eggs at Grandma's

Kennedy with Uncle DJ (Kodi's best friend from High School)

Grandpa Scott bought this pretty Princess cake for Kennedy. She absolutely loved it! She is WAY into everything having to do with Princesses right now!
I thought this little cupcake was so adorable with the little flower ring on top! Kennedy was excited to show me her flower ring when she got home.

Opening presents!

Great Grandma & Grandpa Thomas (Scott's parents), gave Kennedy this cute princess jacket

Opening Grandpa Scott's BIG present!!!

Grandpa Scott gave Kennedy a play kitchen that makes 'cooking sounds'. Kennedy has always loved playing with the play kitchen in nursery at church. Now she's in Heaven, playing with her very own play kitchen any time she wants!!!

Cute little Oliver. Looks like they make a good cooking Team!

Aunt T-T (Kodi's sister, Tiff) gave Kennedy this adorable little white summer shirt!

Kennedy's new coloring book from Grandma Jani

Kodi picked out this cute little baby doll accessories set. It came with a stroller; bouncy seat; playpen; floor mat, with toys above, for the baby doll to 'play' with; a diaper bag, that turns into a changing pad; & a little rattle; mirror; & teething ring. Kennedy is so cute with her little baby dolls. She likes to take them for walks in the stroller & always makes sure her babies get lots of rest in the little playpen.

Kennedy also got a bunch of cute summer outfits from Grandma Jani. The outfits are so stylish & make Kennedy look all grown up.
I'm pretty sure I missed some other gifts she received, so if anyone knows of anything I forgot, please, please tell me!

There was supposed to be a video of singing Happy Birthday to Kennedy, but it won't load right now. I'll try again another day.
