Birthday Weekend

Today is my 30th birthday. I can't believe I am no longer in my 20s!!

We drove to Muleshoe and then Lubbock this weekend to have a family celebration with all of my family. Kenna did really well on the way there and only cried (yelled) for a little while the last hour of the trip. I think she just wanted out of the car seat!!

Saturday morning, my sister, brother-in-law, and my niece came to Muleshoe so we could do some family pictures. A LOT has changed since the last time we all had our picture made together. The babies did pretty good, but I think all that picture taking must have worn out Miss K because she fell asleep in her Uncle Cade's arms. I can't wait to see the finished product!

After a restorative nap on the way to Lubbock, Abbye and Kenna played and played together on the floor. I think they were becoming pretty good friends until Kenna reached up, knocked Abbye's pacifier out of her mouth and then put it in her own mouth. I guess she was trying to teach Abbye how to share.

Last night, almost all of my aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents (almost 30 people) from both sides of the family met at the 50 yard line in Lubbock for dinner. We had a lot of fun and good food. I also got to meet the newest member of the family, Kody. Kody is my cousin's son and is 2.5 weeks old.

My mother and sister made we wear a 30 button (that flashed). Wasn't the cake beautiful!?! Those are real flowers on top. It tasted good as well.

This is not a great picture, but I had to show you a picture of Miss K's outfit. She was stylin'!!
Before bed, both girls needed a bath so they got to get in the little duck tub together. They just splashed and splashed. They will be needing to move to the bigger tub before long! (Kenna needs some girl cousins on the other side of the family that she can take baths with....)

We all went to church and lunch together before we heading home today. Kenna slept from the minute we left my sister's house until 45 minutes from home! I think there was just too much excitement for her...she was worn out! She just went down for the night.

Now for what everyone has been waiting for....more Kenna video. After dinner last night, several of us were hanging out at my sister's house, just watching the babies play. They were chatting with each other (of course, none of us knew what they were saying) so I thought I would record a little video of them talking. I am sorry it is so long, but I could not figure out how to edit some of the first. You have to watch the whole thing to see Miss K show her true colors at the end. I was laughing too hard to hold the camera still so sorry for the bouncing!

I think Abbye will be onto Kenna from now on. After several different pacifier snatchings, I think she will keep her paci out of Kenna's hands!
