November Fun

October 2009

October was a great month. Kenzie is growing like crazy- she is running everywhere, dancing on demand and never without a hat on her head. She is in the 75% for height at her age. She was a cute little dog for fall fest.
We redecorated our office, came out pretty cool. Rachelle is a genius! I will get some pics up soon.

May 2009

May has been a month full of first things. Kenz hit the park for the first time as well as the pool. We also took a Minnie road trip out to Murphy area for her great grandpas birthday party.

Kenzie at 13 Months

Seems like just yesterday we were at St Lukes hospital holding her for the first time. Time fly's and we are enjoying Kenz more and more each day. She started talking and saying mamma at like 14 days old but just started saying dadda like 2 days ago :) I just took her to the pool for the first time last week, I will post those pics soon. Thanks to our friend at Yan Photography.

Easter 2009

Kenzies Birthday!

So I can hardly believe my little girl is 1. Seems like yesterday we were living in the hospital(literally). Rachelle was a wonderful prego and handled 2 months of bed rest and multiple weekend stays in the er as good as anyone could have. We lived at my in laws the last 2 months of Kenzies solitary confinement and I had the pleasure of getting to know the living room couch quite well.
Looking back... it was well worth the drama, communal living and large dr bills to have Kenz join the team. Its amazing how much you love your own kids... I never thought it possible to feel this way about a little one. I am thoroughly enjoying fatherhood and I must add that Kenzie has thee most incredible mom on Earth. Happy Birthday Kenzington!

Kenzie's Coach....

So Kenzie was stocked out of her mind to find the weather so nice the past few days. In her near 12 months of life she hasn't really had too may opportunities to get to know the sun. She got acquainted with the Big light in the sky Monday as we took her for a bike ride in her coach. She loved it! She said apart from staring at her dads rear end it was a blast :)
She was captivated by the outdoors, the birds, the fresh air, mom jogging next to her, mom stopping her ride every 37 seconds and asking if she was too cold or too hot, and by her dad saying, "she is FINE!" Altogether it was a kick.

The closest thing I could find to last night....

So last night Krist Wilde and I played a series of games of ping pong. He has traditionally destroyed me but I have been playing like once a week for the past month or so- He hasn't... so we battled it out.
He beat me pretty good the first game, I won game 2 and 3(Glory be to God). Shane Grove told me to walk away and go to sleep a winner but Krist mentioned something about attacking me physically if I did. I played 2 more and lost both :( But it was a blast still. This video was a re-enactment of game 3.

Birthday planning...

I love being a dad. Kenzington is almost one year old! Thats just crazy.

We (by we I mean Rachelle) have began the birthday party plans- Which is super exciting... Not sure exactly what to expect for your 1st child's 1st birthday but knowing my wife it should be pretty spectacular. Mark your calenders friends!

R.I.P. Tamarack

So today I went up with the guys to Tamarack. Conditions were spring like; Really warm and sunny- The snow was heavy and wet... and it reminded me all to much of So-Cal Boarding.
Bad news is that Tamarack is closing Thursday this week... :(
They need someone to buy the resort.... Guess its only 264 million to take over. Anybody interested? Pray for em!
