All About Kennan
I realized that I haven't said a whole lot about Kennan lately. He is growing up soo fast...today he asked me how old he would be on his next birthday. That is when it occured to me that I have an almost 3 1/2 year old which means I have a little boy who will be 4 next year. WOW!! Anyway, here is a post dedicated to my sweet boy...
Kennan LOVES to eat. He could eat all day if we let him. Breakfast in particular is his favorite. He eats about 3 breakfasts each morning...cereal and yogurt, then some oatmeal, then a fruit. The kid can't get enough! And no, he doesn't always eat with his feet on the table. He was mimicking his baby sister...
Kennan loves his daddy. They are pretty good buds and daddy seems to be Kennan's "favorite" parent choice.
Kennan enjoys playing with his friends and prefers the older ones. Here he is with Jackson, who is 5. Notice the goggles...Kennan had to have his on because Jackson had some on.
Kennan is really good about making up new words, giving existing words new meanings, and making up new words to old songs. For example, in this picture Kennan was explaining to me that the pile of dirt he had just created was called a "Presbytery". Yes, we are Presbyterian and I guess we talk about that a lot...but comparing that to a pile of dirt?? I guess if I thought about it enough there might be some theological connections...(thought all of you Seminary blogging buddies would enjoy this one!)
This kid is always busy! Here he is the other night before bed...I guess something needed some serious work in our house! He has all of his tools stuck in his pants and in his hands. Kennan loves to play, pretend, imagine, read...you name is he does it!
Kennan is a great fly swatter. Our new home (and town for that matter) came with an abundance of flies. They are everywhere!!! Well, the other day Kennan informed me that he needed "that orange thing to get that pesky fly. I am going to smack it and get it dead." I thought I would humor him and it would keep him occupied for awhile. Little did I know he would actually do what he set out to do!!! Hopefully I don't have to pay him for his services.
Kennan loves Brayden. He is such a great big brother. It is so fun to watch them together and to see the way he cares for her. Like any siblings, he sometimes gets a little frustrated with her, but for the most part they get along great! He loves to make her laugh and teach her new things. And she loves to do everything he does!
Kennan is a great helper. He enjoys doing little jobs around the house for me which is a big help! On this particular day "Bob" was around to do the work...
Kennan has quite the sense of humor. He has recently become attached to his "safety helmet" and enjoys wearing it to odd places...like the sno cone stand. He doesn't have a bike, or a tricycle, but the safety helmet sure does come in handy!!
He is so darn cute and such a good kid! I love him and am blessed to be his mommy. It melts my heart when he says "Mom, I love you to the sky and back"...

That helmet thing is so funny! Hud is the SAME way. He just got a helmet and knee/elbow pads for his scooter. He LOVES that helmet and wore it last night to dinner. So funny and sooo goofy too!!!

We miss you all too! It's very odd to see a couple in Kevin and Alisa's apt w/ no kids:(. Looks like Kennon is doing well! What a creative kid!
Seems like y'all are adjusting well! So happy for you guys.

Get that cutie pie a bike!
Hey Jen,
The house looks awesome. I am so happy for you all. So about the flies, have you tried hanging a couple of Glad freezer bag or sandwhich bag of water around the back porch? I have friends in Louisanna that do that and they say it keeps the flies away. They are supposedly scared by their relfelction or something like that. I don't know if it works, but you could try it. love, Jill
Haha! The Presbytery dirt made me laugh out loud and all the coffee shop people are looking at me...ah, love the amazing quotes that come at this age. I am passing this along to Dan.
Hey there, Jennifer! Your blog is ADORABLE! Thanks again for having us over. We enjoyed it!
I had to come over here and see who was brave enough to invite the whole Smockity family over! :)
I love your pictures! I found your site through Connie's. We used to live across the street and seeing your pics made me miss the old neighborhood. I know several members of your church and it is a wonderful place and your next door neighbors are the best:) Best of luck!!
