Strawberry Picking

She was so proud of every berry she picked!

Derek and Ms. Stephanie had a fun time sampling. Derek is soooo happy being outside!

Just one of the many, many bites

What?!? I didn't have any berries... (Kensley was very proud of her eating capabilites!)

This past week we had the great pleasure of picking (and eating) strawberries with our sweet friends. Kensley absolutely loves Derek and Ms. Stephanie, strawberries, and being outside. This was a heavenly adventure for all involved.

When we came in from the field, I raised my child to the counter and asked if she needed to be weighed as it was beyond obvious that Kensley had very well eaten every berry she picked (and then some)! Thankfully, the nice lady said, "We don't weigh 'em when they go out, and we don't weigh 'em when they come back in!" Well, Hallelujah! Kensley may have easily broken the bank (and the scale)!

She's Winning...

...our hearts, that is. Kensley is growing daily and getting wiser by the minute. For example, this just occurred: Kensley: Mommy, I need a jellybean. Me: No, you don't NEED a jellybean. Kensley: I want something special. Me: Isn't Mommy special? {no argument from her, which lends earns major brownie points} Kensley: [her hands on her little hips] Well, I just want something special in my hand (said in two syllables like hay-und). ~She got 2 jellybeans.~

Happy Easter!

 We have been blessed to have a fantastic Easter Weekend! It began with the arrival of Nanna and Pop on Friday. On Saturday, we had an Easter party and egg hunt with Mike's office where Kensley was able to enjoy some time with her buddies. Easter Sunday, Kensley woke up to the gracing of the Easter Bunny before enjoying our Easter Service at church! Trust me, she is still enjoying the goodies from her Easter Baskets.

Buds at the Beach

It's that time of year again! Yes, people are thinking about the beach and our calendar is quickly filling in! We LOVE visitors and anticipate lots of sunshiny fun!

Recently my buddy, Jess, came to run a half marathon at Seaside - which is where the Truman show was filmed. It is a perfectly precious little place and you should definitely think about staying with us when you visit Seaside ;)

Kensley is ALWAYS ready to go to the beach - no matter how cold and love to stick her toes in the sand. She got to do just that when Jess visited and she also saw Uga. To clarify, it isn't Uga, but anytime Kensley sees a bulldog, she calls him/her Uga. That's ok. At least Uga is always present in her mind!
