Let's Go Fly A Kite!

On Sunday, April 6th, my brother, Kendall, showed up for Sunday dinner with kites for all of the kids. He had a Mickey & Minnie one for Kaylee, a Cars one for Kyler, and an old Spiderman one for Kenyon to drag around. We tried flying them at my mom's and dad's but the wind wasn't cooperating very well. Kaylee was able to get her's to fly long enough to get some pictures.

After the afternoon Conference session, we drove to Gunnison, where it always seems to be windy, and let them try again. Kyler did much better with more wind. After we got his in the air, it didn't come back down until we brought it down to go home.

Thanks Kendall for a fun filled Sunday afternoon!

Yard Work

Now that spring is finally here, we are getting some yard work done. Russell rented a tractor last week, during his and the kids' Spring Break, and got our top soil spread out. The kids really had fun "driving" the tractor with him.

Then Saturday, we spent most of the afternoon raking the back yard. The kids had fun using their own tools, and Kenyon had a ball putting rocks in the wheel barrow. We hope to plant some grass by this weekend, but I guess that depends on the weather (we got about 2 inches of snow yesterday, and since it was so cold it took most of today for it to melt).

Egg Decorating

I finally found my connector to download my pictures from my phone, so now I can post pictures again. We decorated Easter Eggs with my family, and some of Charlotte's friends, on Sunday March 16. Kenyon slept through the whole thing, but Kyler and Kaylee had lots of fun.

I don't know where she gets it from, but the only color Kaylee wanted to use was pink, so she had four pink Easter Eggs. Sometimes I wonder if she does it just to bug me, but that is what kids are supposed to do right?

Kyler had almost as much fun organizing his eggs as he did coloring them, that I know he gets from me.

Our 6th Annual Trip To The Car Show

We have gone to the car show every year since Kyler was 1, so when he saw the commercials for it on TV he asked if we were going. Of course we had to go, so we went last Saturday. The kids love being able to see all of the cars and truck and to be able to climb in and out of them all they want. Here are some pictures of the fun they had:

Kaylee trying out the Corvette and Hummer.

Kaylee and Kenyon having fun pushing all of the buttons.

Kenyon thought it was really neat to "drive" all the different cars and trucks.

Kyler having fun just hanging around.

Kyler and Kaylee thought it was neat to go under the Hummer, but they would not hold still long enough to get a decent picture. Kenyon would not go anywhere near it.

The Mayan

We have tried several times to make it into the Mayan to eat. Most of the attempts failed because of 2 hour waiting lists, but one failed due to remodeling. Well we finally made it in last weekend, and we only had to wait 1 hour for it to open. The kids really liked it and want to go back. It was pretty neat and the food was pretty good and not too expensive either, so I'm sure we will be back.

Christmas Day

Kyler and Kaylee had fun playing with their Christmas...

...And their cousins' Christmas, too.

Elizabeth, Kyler, Alan, Kaylee, & Joshua playing a game at Grandma Henningson's on Christmas Day. (Elizabeth, Alan, & Joshua are my sister Jenny's kids and they came from Wisconsin to have Christmas with the Henningsons.)

Christmas Tree Hunting

We took a break from painting Saturday to go get a Christmas tree. We found a really nice one. Kyler and Kaylee thought it was fun. Kenyon fell asleep on the way up and slept through the whole thing, which was nice for us. Here is a picture of us with the tree, even though you can't see the tree very well.

Kaylee "Reading" to Mickey

The other day, Kaylee decided that she wanted to read a story to Mickey. The book that she chose, just happened to be about Mickey. She had fun telling Mickey all about the pictures in the book.

Kaylee Loves Rylie

Kendall and Sheri adopted a beautiful baby girl that was born on October 22, 2007. Kaylee loves to hold "Baby Rylie". She is convinced that she wants her own baby sister, since Braxton doesn't want to share (and I don't blame him, Rylie is too cute to share).

Halloween 2007

Wendy, Kenyon, Kaylee, and Kyler ready to go trick or treating.

Kyler was a very handsome cowboy.

He thought that being in the Manti Elementary Parade was pretty fun.

Kaylee was Mickey Mouse.

She wasn't convinced that she wanted to wear her costume to school though. Once she saw that everyone was dressed up she was excited to be Mickey Mouse at school. The next morning, as she was carrying around her candy, she said "I doesn't want to be Mickey Mouse today." She had fun but was ready to be Kaylee again.

Kenyon was supposed to be a frog, but he wouldn't wear the costume. He loved my hat, so Kyler said he could wear his hat and cape and be my assistant. What a smart and thoughtful big brother. He wouldn't hold still long enough to get a non blurry picture, but this one isn't too bad.

Fun With Blocks

Kyler and Kaylee are pretty proud of the Temple they made out of blocks. I thought it was pretty neat too.

Kaylee's Preschool Picture

This is Kaylee's Preschool picture. She goes to preschool two days a week and just loves it. Her favorite part is riding the bus and wearing her Princess Backpack. She also likes to do homework, I guess she takes after me there.

Kaylee Sleeping

Kaylee has had a busy summer and has worn herself out many times.
