Kenna's Birthday!

Our Kenna just turned 6! Whoa! She is still the family comedian and keeps us laughing. Both of her sisters love her to pieces. She's already transforming into an island princess!

Mom and Dad got her beach toys - to the beach!

Grandpa and Grandma sent her an ipod docking station - she loves it!

Tuellers came over for cake and ice cream and brought Kenna this candy lei and a dollar ring that she loved. I don't know why I didn't think of a lei - we aren't Hawaiian thinkers yet.
Kenna didn't really know many people here yet, but she really wanted to play on the beach. Instead of a party we decided to have two friends over for her "rolly pancake" birthday breakfast on Saturday and then head to the beach.




But Mother Nature had other plans - it rained.
Then rained harder. There was standing water in our driveway.

So instead of pouting - we watched Little Rascals which Kenna got for her birthday and painted fingers and toes to wait out the rain.



When the rain slowed to just a drizzle, Mike took the 4 girls to the beach to play.


On their birthday Kenna asked Bekah what cake she was going to have and Bekah hadn't decided. Kenna wanted to match cakes since they couldn't be together. She had already chosen a butterfly cake and Bekah thought that was a good idea. I emailed Melinda the pattern and a picture of Kenna's cake so they got to match. We just wish the cakes didn't have to be an ocean plus a state away!

Katrina your girls look so much like you, they're gorgeous! I can't believe all the things that have happened to you guys just since moving there. How's the finger? And moving and then moving again! Your house looks lovely. I would love to visit but I'm pretty sure we'd run out of fruit snacks before I kayaked very far!! Beautiful birthday cake, great job decorating!

I can only hope that Deena continues to look like Makenna--she is so beautiful!! And she looks happy. You're good parents, taking such good care of her and making sure she has such good memories of her childhood.

I see what you mean about your girls posing for pictures!! They are so cute. The boys are not real camera friendly so I have to be tricky!! I love Kenna's face in the pict with the docking station! She looks so grown up! I still remember when you announced you were pregnant. Remember Mike said the prayer and shocked everybody!!
