Now Back to Our Blog.. AKA The World's LONGEST Post

So being homeless can really put a damper on blogging. We've been lucky to have great friends to stay with during our transient state but its far more complicated than living in your own house. A lot has happened in the past month and there are TONS of pictures.. Enjoy!

Kensington's Birthday -
We celebrated Kensington's 1st birthday a little early because of the move. We went bowling with the family and had a great time! Kensington loved it for the first 5 frames or so and then she kind of lost interest. The adults had a good time though. After bowling we went back to the house for cake and ice cream. She's only 1 but she seemed to have a good time.



This is the house right before I left. Todd drove with me to Utah and then headed back to CA to do all the hard work. He was amazing and got everything done! I'll always miss our first home but it was fun while we lived there.


Once we got to Sariah's she made a cute little tutu for Kensington. It turned out way better than the one I made for Halloween. Kensington thought it was pretty cool too!


A few weeks ago I went up to Idaho to visit my sister Rebecca. We went to Bear World so that Kensington could see a bear cub. It was totally cool! The cub was so cute and cuddly. I want one but I know it will grow up to be a GIANT bear.

While I was there I got to see one of my dear friends who is serving a mission in Idaho. I haven't seen her in over 3 years so we had a great chance to catch up a little bit. She is such a cute girl.

This is Kensington at a restaurant. She seems to like to put her feet on the table while she's in a high chair. Does anyone know how to break this habit?


Rebecca has a puppy and Sonney loves Kensington. She thought he was hilarious and this is what happened any time we let them near each other.


Kensington got to feed herself spaghetti. She had a blast and was a mess. I'm not sure she's quite ready for self feeding yet.

Kensington got a snow suit and boots for her birthday from Rebecca. Todd was so excited to dress her up and let her play in the snow. By the end of the day all that snow was gone and we've had springy weather ever since.


We went to the Church History Museum to explore. They have a kid's room and they have an illistration on Lehi's dream. Todd tried to get Kensington to hold to the rod but she wasn't quite tall enough.

We went to Texas Roadhouse one night for dinner and they bring out a saddle for birthdays. The table next to us were having a birthday and Todd just couldn't resist putting Kensington on the saddle. She didn't mind the saddle but she was pretty scared by the 40 somethings women at the table next to us.We went to an Asian Buffet for lunch. They had octipii on the buffet and Jake got some to give his boys. They were scared but I wanted to see was Kensington would do. Todd was grossed out but she didn't seem to mind it and even took a bite out of it.

Things it Utah have been going pretty well. We haven't had much luck on the job front yet but I'm sure it will happen. I'm still feeling sick from the pregnancy but its getting better. I just have to be more careful about making sure that I eat all the time. Kensington is having fun with her new "cousins" and enjoys having kiddos to play with. She is a little too adventurous for my taste sometimes but she is a great kid.
