Leopard Princess

Kensley is starting to pose and laugh for pictures. She just sits there and giggles while I take her picture and then grabs for the camera to see it when I am done. I found this dress that Sandi handed down to me in a box yesterday and made her wear it to church today even though it was way too short. I felt that she had to at least wear it once! She didn't wear the hat to church, just for the picture. A lady in my ward told her she was so pretty and looked just like a doll and Kensley ran down the hall saying "pretty, pretty".

Thanksgiving 2007

Santa Claus Pinata

Me and Sandi made a Santa Claus Pinata for all the kids to hit during the Thanksgiving weekend. My mom used to make one for us to break every Christmas Eve and it is a tradition we have all loved and continue to do. Since my mom is on a mission to Nauvoo this year, I had to paint the Santa Claus face myself and it was pretty sad looking, but still fun for the kids. Kensley loved hitting it with the stick and kept swinging the stick around even after it was broken and all the candy was gone.

Presly and Kensley Thanksgiving

Big Hugs

Kensley is a very cuddly little girl and loves to give big hugs. She follows me around all day saying, "hug, hug" until I give her a hug. This picture is Kensley giving her cousin RJ a hug during Thanksgiving vacation in Cedar City.

Doctor's Visit

Kensley had her 15-month well check at the doctor's office yesterday. She is almost 16 months now so it was a little late. It was such a sad visit for Kensley. She cried everytime the nurse or doctor came near her, even before the shots came out. They couldn't even look at her without her crying. She must have known what was coming, three shots! So sad. We are so mean to our babies. She took a nap right when we got home and seemed fine. Later that evening, she suddenly started crying like she was in some kind of pain and wouldn't even walk. I gave her some Ibuprofen and had to hold her for about 30 minutes while she cried. After that she was fine. She weighed in at 22 lbs 3.5 oz and was 32.5 inches long. She is just under the 50th percentile in weight and in the 95th percentile for height! I was surprised that she is tall! :o)

Elephant Ride

I couldn't resist buying this giant stuffed elephant for Kensley today at Sam's Club. It is slightly ridiculous, but I couldn't help myself and I knew she would love it. :o)
