Kennedy turns 3

Some little things about Kennedy,
She is now 3 going on 33.
She loves her brother and sister and is very sad on Monday mornings when they leave for school.
She cries and wants to ride the bus too.
She loves to pretend that she is the mom and I'm her weetheart.
She LOVES her Aunt Jodi, so much that when we are with Aunt Jodi she is her mom and I'm Stephanie. She will tell me, "mom this is my mom ok, your Stephanie." I think she would live there if I'd let her. She will only drink milk for A. Jodi.
She loves to play with her cousins and asks to go there on a daily basis.
She loves to play with the dogs and feed the horses with her dad.
She still has 3 hour naps and will probably be in her crib forever cause I'm not giving up nap time.
She changes her clothes 50 times a day I never know what's clean and what's dirty so she keeps my washer going all the time.
I don't know what we'd do without her, she brings so much joy to our family and we all love her very much.

Summing up the month of December

December is and always a very busy month for us. This year Laramie & I went to the NFR in Vegas the first weekend in Dec. and had a blast. Gabrielle turned 10, where has the time gone and we had Christmas 3 days later.
Gabrielle had a great b-day this year, seems like now matter how I try to have her day special something always happens, someone has a sickness and can't come or the weather is horrible and family can't make it. This year was an exception to the rule, no major sickness's and the weather was on our side so that meant that Aunt Jodi and Aunt Connie were both able to make it. She had a great b-day and was very surprised with her scooter.
Christmas was also a huge success at the Bether's house this year, everyone got what they asked for and more. For the first time in along time I was able to get gifts for Laramie and he had no clue what they were and was surprised when he opened them. The man cave is now equipped with a hair on hide cow rug and whenever Kennedy goes into the man cave she pets the cow rug and says oohhh soft as long as it doesn't moo back at her it can stay.

Disneyland 2010

We had a blast at Disneyland, the kids had alot of fun and rode lots of rides. Kennedy wasn't quite sure of the characters the first day, but after she seen that her cousins were not afraid of them she wanted to get down and see them also. I took her to the playhouse disney show and she had a blast!!! We were the second row from the stage and she was dancing, singing, and bouncing when tigger bounced she had so much fun. The second morning we were there Kennedy woke up and said, " mom I see Minnie, Jesse, Woody." Every morning after that she said the same thing. The day we were getting ready to come home she said, " mom no airplane I go see Minnie".
The first night we were there we went to the parade, Gabrielle was chosen by one of the dancers to go out on the parade route and dance with them she did a great job. When she got back she said, " mom I was shaking so bad." I would publish the video but I don't want to embarass her.
Taylor and Gabrielle went on a ton of rides with their dad, even the rides that I didn't think Gabrielle would like she loved. They rode Tower of Terror numerous times, Screamin California, and Splash Mountain alot. We were lucky enough to be able to go to Disneyland with Jodi and fam, Mike & Laura & fam, and Aaron & Carrie & fam. It was fun to have family and friends there the same time we were there.

Lalala Elmo's World

As you all know terrible two's have hit the Bether's house. Last friday was one of those terrible two days, first it was the chocolate milk mix spilled in the pantry, then while I was in the shower Kennedy decided to play in the water and when I got out of the shower I found her in her diaper playing in her bathroom sink. She was singing at the top of her lungs the song to Elmos World. Water, water, water everywhere and she was freezing cold, but that didn't stop her she played in the water for forever. She washed her sisters barbies, her brothers hot wheel cars and whatever else she could find to wash.

2010 Summer in a nutshell

Yes, I know it has been since Feb. since my last update, but life at the Bether's has been busy.
I cannot believe that summer is almost over and next week the kids will be back in school. Taylor is very busy playing soccer and the season will soon start so that will lead to more traveling and more rides in the car, I'm sooooo happy that I now have a bigger car and there will be no more fighting. Well I shouldn't say no more fighting maybe less fighting is a better thing to say. Taylor has also been able to spend alot of time up at gpa Steve's house this summer helping out, squirrel hunting, bird hunting, watching tv & eating all there goodies, mowing the lawn etc, etc.
Gabrielle put her ceramics in the county fair this year and took 1st place on all three, I'm so proud of her she is a very talented girl. She also has spent alot of time at gma Lynne's house, helping unpack, organizing jewelry, shredding papers, teaching Chloe how to chase things, and watching tv. Taylor and Gabrielle have been such great help this summer, I cannot believe how they have grown up all of a sudden.
Kennedy will be very lonely when the kids go back to school, but on the other hand she will have no one to fight with, she won't have to share, she can watch her shows on tv, and there will be peace & quiet at the house. Ahhh how I love quiet time.

Baby K turns 2

Yes, I know I'm a little late, but better late than never right? I can't believe that my baby is 2. How time flies. Kennedy had a great birthday, she loved opening presents, in fact she was so quick to open them that I could barely get any pictures. She had so much fun. She also loved her elmo cake. I couldn't imagine life without her, she brings so much joy to our family. We love you Miss Kennedy.
