Today my beautiful little girl turns 4! The time has flown and she's such a joy in our home and our life. Our family just wouldn't be the same without her darling dances and her sweet little voice. And now, as is the tradition, we'd like to share with you the top 4 things we love about Kena:
1. Kenadee is all girl. She loves Pink and Purple and anything frilly and ruffly. But she plays pirates and dinosaurs with the best of them! She's the perfect little girl!
2. Trace loves that Kena tells funny jokes. Knock knock are her favorites, by my personal favorite that she tells goes like this, "what do plants say before they start a race? Ready, Set, GO!" (the actual punch line is GROW, but we can't seem to get her to say it, no matter how hard we try) What a girl!
3. Kena sings. I love to hear here little voice ringing out in chorus's of ABC,Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, or even Follow the Prophet. But by far my favorite by far is when she sings the new primary song from this year. There's something about hearing my little girl sing "I KNOW He lives!" that warms my heart.
4. Kena just loves. She's so good with her brothers and patient. She plays with them so well and loves to help with little Mason. She holds and rocks him, feeds him bottles, and just in general loves them all. I can't imagine our family without our little sunshine, Kenadee! Happy Birthday Doll!
Momma's cowboy!

Trace has wanted to ride a horse since we moved to Wyoming. He finally got his chance and loved every minute of it.
Jaxson was so funny. He was scared to death of the chickens and goats and turkeys, but as soon as we got to the cows and Clydesdale's he was in heaven. He wanted to pet them and get up close...so funny!
This scale showed the kids how they measured up to the animals. Trace was apparently pretty close to a goat!
Kena milking a cow. They had a plaster cow that had a bottle nipple attached to it so the kids could pretend. It was really cute to see them try.
Jaxson couldn't get enough of this cow. He didn't even want to go see the real animals. He would have been content just to hang out with his cow friend all day!
Blow those candles!
Kena's cake (don't mind the half missing letters...the plastic wrap stuck!)
The Princess's showing off their pretty nails. Gotta love those pretty dresses.
Momma's little ham! I can't get Kena to take a normal picture these days. She's full of poses and funny face...hence this birthday picture!
...until tonight! Jax decided that a shave wasn't enough. Perhaps he needed a trim....need I say more.
We learned to sing "Follow the Prophet" in primary and now everytime Jax looks at our Gospel Art Book, he sings the chorus! What a cutie!
It's finally been warm enough to play outside so the kids have been "camping" on the front porch. I'm so glad the snow is almost gone.
The kids have started helping me with laundry. They put away all their own clothes and I don't typically have to fix it when they're done...oh and Mason loves the basket!
Playing...always playing!
Mom got a new camera and she's been taking LOTS of pictures (can you tell how much she likes being interuppted from her coloring!)
Did I mention how warm it's been...and that I love this new pose that Kena seems to do in every picture she knows I'm taking.
Jaxson learned to shave! Ok so not really, but he does enjoy using Dad's old razor to pretend.
