Farwell to Kensie

Kensie has left us! She moved back to Phoenix and we miss her so much!
We miss hearing about her fun dates, work, the clients and coworkers, ward activities, where she went running that day and a lot more. With Kensie living with us it enabled Cameron and I to get up early and go to the gym together, now after almost 4 years we now have to go separate. The gym was a special time for us to be together and talk...thanks Kensie for helping us do it as long as we did! You will be missed by us, the Beans, Joshie, Anya, Sammamish Valley River Ward, Teresa, McCraken and a whole bunch more!This is a picture of a Farewell party the Beans did for her. It was tough to find a day in the last week of her stay because she was very busy with work, goodbye lunches and packing...but we did it!
We miss you Kensie!

Last Hairdo before she leaves...

My stylist (Kensie) is moving so I decided to go natural! I'm not really good at all the upkeep! Look at these hotties!

Bye bye blond...thanks for coming!

Ava woke up right before I was supposed to get my hair done so she sat on my lap as we checked out the magazine and got my do done!

Tah dah!!! It's a little darker to counteract the blond but it should slowly fade!

Love it Kens, thank you!

Kensie's Birthday Camping Trip

We had a ward camp out over the weekend and since Kensie works over the weekend we went early so she could have some wilderness time. It was also her Birthday while we were there! We went with our awesome friends Marin and Collin! No men mind you, just the ladies and little C-dog!The first night was perfect weather!

The sign says it all!

This is a warm and very happy little bunny we found!

It rained quite a bit on Kensie's special day so we spent a lot of time indoor (aka: Tent)!

Here we are having birthday cake!

Here's these two having a good'ol time in the tent!

Ava and Collin

This was a way fun barrel swing!

St Edwards State Park

We decided to slip in a hike before Kensie had to go to work! We had a bLaSt! No it is not a licorice gummy worm! It's a big black SLUG. They are new to Kensie and I, being from AZ, so of course we have to take a pic!

We named this one Richard!

Say CHEESE!!!

She stayed awake all the way to the lake and a little bit back!

and then...

...she was out!

Tulip Town

It's tulip season in WA so we packed up and went to Mount Vernon!The tulips are not the only thing blooming. I love all the PINK trees around WA this time of the year!

Look at her cute little chubby fingers! I think that was the only tulip the whole day that she got to touch. You don't want to know what it looked like when she was done touching it. Those chubby fingers are strong and very grippy!

All the different types!

My Fav!

It's actually a tulip, how pretty is that!

Pretty girls with the tulip fields!

It sound a little odd but this is the first time Ava's feet have ever been in dirt!

She was not sure what to think of it!

Notice the leaf in her hand! She was so fast to stuff it in her mouth. There was no allergic reaction to tulip, so that's good!

Both above and below pictures were a little tough to take. It was fun though!

Yes, there are black tulips!

At this point in the day she was done with the dirt!

What a fun day with Kensie, Ava and the TULIPS!
