Puff Girl

Had to take the picture of the child all in puffy winter wear....she also has slippers on.

Now she's got the gloves on to match the hat

Daddy had to put the hood up too for added cuteness.....i'm sure she's very warm but daddy kept playing with her cuz he thought she was too cute to take it all off :)

Decorating

Taking the tree out of the box and Kenzie thought the pole was a fun toy...I stood back from her :) She looks so devious!!!

Zach watching the festivities unravel

This would have been a cute picture if someone would've sat still but that's a big chore for her!

It's Bears time!!!

Hanging the ornaments on the tree...I showed her how to put a few on and she had a great time. She'd get upset if it wouldn't hang right and come crying to me, so we'd re-hang it and she'd feel better....then daddy came to the rescue and helped her hang the ones up high.

It's a small tree (from college) so Kenzie helped me put the ugly topper on...someday we'll splurge and get a good fake tree :)

Zach had a long day of watching and napping and now he's ready for bed.

Zach's Dedication - December 6th, 2009

Giving Grandma Fukerson lots of smiles...he was full of them for everyone!!!!

Grandpa Fulkerson is telling him to behave up on stage :)

After a few minutes Zach started talking to me so I turned him around so he'd be a little quieter....my little social butterflies :)

Find Chris in the yellow shirt and you'll find us. Love the backdrop, it's for the Christmas program that night. That was most of the babies being dedicated...there's more off to the sides....big church means lots of babies!!!

The kids are getting hungry...

Grandma/Grandpa Fulkerson.

Grandma/Grandpa Hawker were unable to make it due to both of them being sick, get better soon!

Schneider Reception

Mommy and Kenzie dressed and ready to cut a rug on the dance floor.

Daddy, Grandma Hawker and Kenzie

This party took so long to get started that she was tired by the time dancing came around but still had energy for daddy :)

Daddy and his little boy

Discovery Museum

Crawling like a worm thru the compost bin

She was fascinated with this air shooting tube thingy that you put items into and it goes around tubes and shoots it back out....she was hoarding all the balls. Grandma Fulkerson was there to help wrangle all the grandkids.

Learning where to put the ball in

Anna is soaking wet from the water area, apparently she takes off the smock all the time so fun times in wet clothes :) She's driving the pizza delivery truck.

Uncle Rob doing his uncle duties and putting the baby to sleep for me....notice Ben picking his nose?....he gets that from his mommy.

Vince and Anthony attemting to drive the truck....well Anthony was getting upset at Vince who had just crawled over him.

Kenzie going on a shopping trip

Matthew thought I was hungry so he made me a rather large plate of food....all plastic of course, it's great for your system now a days.

Cousins and siblings playing nicely together...or do they realize the other is next the them?

Lacy helping Kenzie down the slide while Vince helped push at the top.

Posing on the bridge like she's a little angel.

Kenzie and Vincent so nicely pushing each other out of the way to get across.

She loved this place and I think we'll have to get a membership...great for those rainy and cold days!!!

Thanksgiving 09

Playing with Auntie Beth and the Sesame Street toy....everyone had to join in at some point with this toy and Kenzie.

Uncle Ryan's turn

Zach's drowning out the noise from the toy

It's a tradition on Grandma Hawker's side to have your picture taken on your first Thanksgiving on the actual turkey platter. Kenzie had one taken this year too but I was taking care of Zach when she sat on the plate.

"Trying" to get a family photo...at one point she literally jumped out of daddy's arms....needless to say we didn't get a good one, oh well, these are fun memories :)
