A girl in action!

We tried soccer again yesterday but this time, we brought along a little Missouri for support......PawPaw and Nanny came to cheer on the Gators. They also brought their besties Patty and Stan.  These 4 are a hot mess!  They are fun and crazy all at one time :). And this week, Kensington did so good!!!  We were so proud of her!  Unlike last week, she totally participated, ran like crazy, kicked the ball and cheered on...

We love our uncle

This blog is not turning into the Sean Blog...don't you worry...I've just been saving some of these pictures for a few weeks now and want to share them... ...before Sean left, my parents hosted a little dinner to say goodbye.  When you go from seeing someone multiple times a week to not seeing or speaking to them at all for 10 weeks, you have to put on your I Love My Uncle shirts and make the most of it.  These kiddos miss him so much! Sean...

Because we love him...

 This is not the best picture by any stretch of the imagination but I wanted you to see how my crazy wonderful family really is.  On Saturday, we celebrated my mom's birthday, and Sean was the only one not there.  There are 16 of us in the family and we do everything together.  We used to think we were the norm but now we're realizing, most families don't celebrate and socialize as much as we do...and that's ok...we like being...

Um, soccer?

This was Kensington on Saturday morning before her first soccer game.  Uniform, check.  Soccer shoes, check.  Tall, ugly socks, check.  Purse, check.  The purse should have been our big warning sign for the game ahead... With her daddy, Coach Andrew, walking into the indoor soccer field.  (Yes, Andrew Shull managed to put his daughter on a team where A/C is involved...this man requires A/C at all times!) And...

Lovie Days

 Once upon a time, Shay became a new mommy to baby Kensington... ...Kensington was born on a Monday, released from the hospital on Thursday and by the following Tuesday, her Lovie was at her house declaring every Tuesday a "Lovie Day".   Tuesdays would consist of Lovie showing up at 9:00 and leaving at 6:00.   At first, these days were for me to gather my thoughts as a new mommy.  I could grocery shop, pay bills,...

Happy Birthday Kensington Kate!

 Today, my sweet girl turns 4 years old.  Amazing how time flies.  To say that I'm madly in love with this kiddo would be a huge understatement.  She made me a mom...after years of wanting to be a mom...after such heartache and disappointment...God gave me Kensington to make me a mom.  She's funny, independent, sweet and tender-hearted, she loves to sing, play with horses, bake and cook, she's a night-owl, she loves her Poppy,...
