Happy New Year!

Here is a little end/beginning of the year update I made about my little family. Enjoy and I hope that your new year brings sunshine and sweet new memories! Love, Kendra

When your baby brother isn't a baby anymore

My youngest brother turned 12 on Thursday. We are 11 years apart and I have always seen him as a baby. It has been hard for me to realize that he isn't a little baby anymore. He is a big kid. A young man. Some times I still treat him like a little baby but I have realized especially with the big 1-2 that he isn't a little baby but he is turning into a great young man.

He was the funnest, cutest baby you could ever meet. I was old enough that I remember taking care of him and loving it. He was like my practice baby. He probably gets sick of me being his second mother but I love him to pieces.
This is him all grown up.

Being 12 is so cool. It is a big moment in your life. You are finally out of primary. You are officially not a little kid anymore but you are not close to being an adult. You can do almost everything on your own and you defiantly don't need your mom to help you out. Josh is such a special young man. He is different from most because he would rather spend time with his family than his friends. He is funny and loves to play games. I am so glad that I get to be Joshua's older sister and see him grow up.
Happy Birthday Joshua! I love you and I am glad to be your sister!!

Christmas 2012

 

I just love Christmas. Friends and Family. Good food. And the love... there is just so much love to go around. Here are the pictures from our Christmas vacation time. 

Blessed

I feel so blessed lately. And you know sometimes when you don't really know why you deserved any of it but it still came... and maybe is still coming. That is how I feel.

I am so grateful for all my blessings but lately this one has come to the front of my mind.
I am grateful for this man!

I am so grateful that I get to spend the rest of forever with him. I know that my last few posts (spanning over the last 6 months) have been about how much I love him.. mushy mushy... But he has been such a huge blessing to me.
I got really sick last week and I didn't even want to get out of bed. He ran to the store and bought me power-aid and crackers and soup and took care of me. I couldn't have asked for a kinder man. He is so hard working and willing to do what it takes to provide for our family.  I am just so grateful to call him mine.

A Whole Two Years!

In July we celebrated out 2 year anniversary. TWO YEARS! I can't believe it. I still sometimes catch myself thinking, "Is this real? I am married." A lot can happen in two years. We have many many jobs. Gone to school and stopped going to school and then went back to school. We moved once. We have been in 3 different wards. 1 sibling got married and one nephew was born. And even after all that has happened surprisingly we are still in love. Well probably even more in love.
We were going go go to Island Park to celebrate for the weekend, but we weren't able to do that so we just camped in our living room.

It really was a blast. We watched movies and ate food. Then we did a little shopping in Idaho Falls on Saturday and just had the best time.

Landon surprised me throughout the day with these little sayings and treats. It was so thoughtful and sweet.

It was a great anniversary and I am excited for the next 50 to come.
