Guess Who is 11 Months Old!

This morning Kenneth said goodbye to the 10 month era. 

As you can see by the picture below he is working on sharing and growing teeth.  

His tooth count is now up to 4 with 2 up and 2 down.  

Mobility-wise, Kenneth is army crawling and rolling like a champ.  

Regular crawling is on deck with walking probably a few months out.  Thus, we are enjoying probably our last month of a stationary boy.  Mom will be start Yoga next week to limber up for her upcoming chases.

Kenneth's favorite toys are currently trucks and boulders, and he spoke his first word "Hat".  

So hats off to you little buddy!!    

Happy Birthday Laura!

Happy birthday Laura!  Below Lilly serenades her Mimi.  

Below, the kiddos are supposed to fold laundry but end up just chilling and sharing the bounty fresh atmosphere.  Cone Dog was supposed to supervise, but is caught napping on the job.  

Ouchee!

Just watching this hurts.  

Labs = family dogs.

How come the one that is supposed to smile never does?

Mommy and Kenneth say cheese

"Let me know if you see Lilly."  

Kenneth has been under the weather, so Mom does her best to rock him to sleep.  

Lilly takes time out of her busy day to read to her baby bro. 

Happy Valentines Day!!

This Valentines day was a fun filled with lots of hearts.
Literally, the Post-Mommy delivered nearly everyday a heart shaped valentine to the Lilly and Kenneth. Lilly loved checking her sticker adorned mailbox on a nightly basis and reading the fun notes.
Kenneth was a little unclear on the concept and tried to use his 2 teeth to chew them up.

Teethwise, K has three teeth breaking thru on his upper deck.  This will bring his tooth tally to 5.
Our little man is starting to army crawl, push up and provide us lots and lots of smiles.
Also, don't tell his Mom but I think i heard his first words... it was tough to make out, but I think it was  "Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoosiers!"

On the Lilly front, she is enjoying being 3.  Everything comes in threes.  In the morning... I get 3 goodbye kisses and 3 goodbye hugs cause she's three.  At night, she insists on reading 3 books.  Eating snacks... you guessed it... 3 crackers.  When she turns 16... goodbyes are going to take awhile.  

We wish you all a happy Valentines Day!

Love the McKenzie's

Lilly squeezes one giant Valentine smile out of her little brother.

Mommy and the kiddos enjoy our one good snow of the year. 

Yes... those are hockey goals in the background.

Lilly hangs with two of her favorites while watching a little Super Bowl action.

She rooted for the purple team. 

Friday Night Spikes

This week we are proud to announce the launch of our niece's volleyball career.

For any scouts interested, please send all requests to "ShowMeTheMoney@spikingitupgangamstyle.com"

Coincidentally, her first game was on the same court that her Uncle Don Don's first game was on.

Below is a video of the historic event.

Emily gets ready to tattoo Wilson.  Tom Hanks is cringing somewhere.

Emily... takes time out to pose for the paparazzi.   

Here Emily launches the white ball into the opponents court.  

The red team will vigorously try and keep the ball on the other side of the court until they are awarded a point for their efforts. The crowd will cheer loudly.
