May

Once again we have gone too long without a post. I kept waiting for Kristee to post something, but she has been pretty busy so I thought if I didn't post something today, we wouldn't have a single post for May. May has been a pretty busy month. I finished up our backyard project and got a swingset built and installed (with my nephew Jacob's help). If anyone is thinking of building one of these, be warned it's a pretty big pain. But Kenzie is outside every day playing on it and absolutely loves it, so it's worth it. We put the playground bark around it with a little sandbox underneath the fort, and I think Kenzie's favorite part is the sand box, and she is also really good at tracking the sand in the house. Kristee and I debated about whether to put sand in or not, but we decided we both loved having a sand box when we were little, so we didn't want to deprive our kids of it, but we may change our mind as the sand builds up in our house.

Kenzie also loves to push Linzie in the swing, and Linzie loves it too. Linzie pretty much loves having Kenzie around any time, she is always laughing at her. Kenzie has also gotten into wearing her sunglasses this summer. She'll come in the house and tell us it's bright and needs sunglasses and her hat.

It was also my birthday this month and Kristee made me an amazing BYU football field cake and I had a great birthday. Kristee got me some nice presents and I got to go see the new Star Trek movie, which I thought was really good.

Linzie is growing fast. She has moved up to the next size diapers, so she and Kenzie wear the same diapers now. It's kind of nice so we don't have to carry two different sizes. Kenzie better watch out because Linzie might be bigger than her soon.

Here are some random pictures from our Memorial Day weekend. We spent half the weekend with the Adams clan and had a fun time eating smores around the camp fire, easter egg hunting (there was still snow on the ground in April so we had to wait until May), and visiting the Morgan cemetaries. Then we spent the second half of the weekend with the Christensen clan and went to the Salt Lake cemetaries and hiked to Timpanogas Cave. Most of these pictures have Kenzie wearing a headband she got from Grandma A at the easter egg hunt, which she is pretty much obsessed with now and wears it about every day.

And finally, Kenzie is getting to be quite independent these days, and likes to do everything herself. This morning she insisted on picking out her own clothes and accessories to wear, and this is what we got:
