Puppies, puppies everywhere

Kennedy's 4th birthday included a party with 15 children, a jumping castle, and tons of puppy stuff.  We played a few games, but getting transformed into a pup and jumping seemed to be the highlights.  I think Kennedy was overwhelmed a few times, but it was nice to give her such a special treat.  We are so grateful for all of our friends here!

Happy Birthday Kennedy



God blessed Brian and I with Kennedy 4 years ago.  She entered this world at 9 lbs. 1 oz. and 21" long, and has grown to 37 lbs. & 41 1/2".  She has grown both in size and knowledge.  Everyday I am amazed at the things she learns.  

Here's a little bit about K on her 4th birthday...

*Her favorite color: Blue
*favorite toys: dinosaurs, puppies, and littlest pet shops
*best friends: schoolmate-Alyssa, family friend-Jacob
*favorite saying: You're a silly
*current activities: 3 mornings a week of preschool, dance twice a week, and gymnastics
*favorite song: I like to move it move it-from Madagascar 
*Everyday we talk about how she misses her Daddy, and then some random question.  Before she turned 4, I have had to explain how doctors get babies out, who Hitler is, the civil war (thanks AFN), why boys have different parts, and other just as shocking questions.  She also knows how to get from our house to several locations and tells me when I'm going too fast/slow and questions when I go a different way.  Believe me, I have been taken aback by every question.  I honestly thought we'd avoid some of these until at least 9 or 10.  

I'm looking forward to another year of growth!  Oh, I love my sweet Kenners = )
