Yippee Me...

OK, so I am so proud of myself for completing this project that I had to take pictures for show and tell. I have been looking for a bow holder for Kenzi's bows for a while and have not found any that I like. Or at least not worth the money. So I made one myself. I had been playing with a few ideas and yesterday finally went with one. I think it turned out better than I expected. Enjoy! Kari P.S. There is a picture of Kenzi that I took today when she said "Why don't I sit here and you take my picture?" To which I could not deny! Oh, and there is plenty of room for more bows! (Awe darn!) So Enjoy!

Curls, Curls, and more Curls...

OK, so Kenzi let me put her hair in rollers last night and she slept with most of them in. She would not let me put anything in it for church, but it was adorable nonetheless! So enjoy! Kari

Are you ready for some Football?!?!?!?!?!?

On September 10th we left the house looking like this! It was the first official day of football season and the Steelers were playing. Carter would have worn his jersey if he was not going to work. So the polo came out instead. Nonetheless, the Steelers were well represented. When Kenzi and I were in Walmart and man said "You guys look great!" I think he was surprised to see a woman and girl wearing Steelers jerseys and no man around to show persuasion. We love Carter and will support him no matter what! However, come hockey we are very much a house divided! Though we still respect the Penquins! Go STARS! Later! Kari

the best babysitter EVER...

So we LOVE our babysitter! You might be able to tell by the fact that we have posted pictures of her on this blog. At this point she is my little sister and I think she is incredible! Well, I told her that I would help her with her hair for homecoming, so she came over for dinner on Sunday to play. While I was putting her hair in rollers Kenzi was of course very curious and asked to have rollers put in her hair. So we put some in her hair too. They were so cute that I had to take a picture and Shanette gave me full permission to put them on the blog. So here they are...
WE LOVE SHANETTE! Later! Kari

Our friend's Eternal Day...

Well, Saturday started out with us trying to get Kenzi to her skating lesson and to no avail we decided instead of being 15 minutes late to a 30 minute lesson, I would get her there on Tuesday to make up. We then go over to our friends, Dave and Liz and drop off tables. We then go to Ms. B's baptism. She was so happy and looked beautiful in her dress. This outfit is what we wear when we get baptized. And this picture is with her daddy, Dave.

We then go to a luncheon for the family as it was Ms. B's birthday the week before, her baptism Saturday and the family's sealing that night. We had a great time celebrating with them.

And then off to the Temple we go. It was such a GREAT moment to witness this family take the step towards being together forever. I know that Dave and Liz waited a long time to have children and adopting them was no easy thing. So it was wonderful to see the fruition of the efforts!

Congratulations Dave, Liz, Ms. B and J! We are so very happy for you guys!

1st day of Preschool

So Tuesday was Kenzi's first day at Preschool. She was so OK with going that the picture of her and her teacher at the door, she is giving me that smile of "Are we done yet, mom?". As for me I did not like the day! I think it is because she is our only child and she is my shadow all the time. I was driving somewhere and saw Colts and started to say "Oh cool, Kenz... Oh yea she is not in the car!" I think it is going to take some getting used to! I only bawled at spurts in the morning. So by the afternoon I was not crying any more, but again it stunk! She had a great time and woke up this morning asking me if she was going to preschool today. So I am sure she will do great! Enjoy the pictures! Kari
