Keen of the Woold!

Last week, Kira and Kamber taught Kendi to climb on top of the bleachers, raise her arms in the air and say, "Keen Woold!"  (Queen of the World).

One morning, her and I were playing the game, as she climbed up on the couch.  Later in the day, we were out running errands.  We passed the temple and had the following conversation:

Kendi points and says, "Ta-temp!"

Me:  "That's right, it's the temple."

Kendi ponders a moment, points at the Angel Moroni and says, "Keen woold!"

Out of the mouth of babes. . . 

A New Fave. . .

We recently got a Jamba Juice here in Twin-- and it is a big hit!

We just have a hard time deciding which is our favorite flavor. . .

First Day of School

Kira, headed off to second grade with her new Twinkle Toes shoes.

And Kamber headed off to her very first day of Kindergarten!

They are both loving school so far and Kira is really excited today to have her first ever hot lunch (it's Friday-Pizza Day)!

I can't believe how big they are getting, but I am glad they are enjoying themselves.  And it has been so fun to have a little one-on-one time with Kend.  She is a kick!

Hope the year goes as well as it has started. . .

Soccer

Our first soccer game for the season. . . on August 30th-- and it was freezing!  Everyone was in blankets.

After the last season of soccer, I was sure that I was done.  

As in, no more soccer mom for me!

And then, I started practicing with the girls, and watching their practices and games. . .

And I feel kinda hooked.

I guess we will see how it goes when it is the end of September and snowing during the games. . .

Until then-- Happy Soccer Season!

Favorite Spot

Kendi's favorite spot to sit. . .

Or sleep. . .

She's how old?!?!?

Has it really been seven years since that day when you came into our lives? That day brought many changes to our little family-- and many challenges as well.




And we wouldn't change one minute of it!




You are such a bright, beautiful girl! Always a great helper and a fantastic big sister. Every morning I can count on your bright, cheerful smile to brighten the day.



You are quick to laugh even though you worry about just about everything.

Keep smiling, pretty girl! We love you to pieces.
