Every year Santa comes to our house on Christmas Eve. The moment he walked through the door she ran up to him and gave him a big bear hug:

MaKenzie in her Christmas PJs:

Santa brought MaKenzie a kitchen, laptop, shoes, clothes, and books.

She had to make sure she got everything out of her stocking.

We were all spoiled this year by our family and appreciate everything that was given to us.
Love you all.

Are perfect to just chill in a wheat field.

We took Kenzie to Hogle Zoo for her birthday.

Family picture with Kenzie sitting on the Elephant's trunk.

"I am this Wide

and this Tall!!"

I love this picture.

KC playing in the log at the playground.

The Family on the Train.

We had a fun time at the zoo. We did decide that we need to go back in a couple of years when all of the construction will be over.

MaKenzie would take this bottle from her cousin, run across the campground and kneel down in the sand face first and yell hiding.

MaKenzie's loot from the Easter bunny: 2 pairs of shoes, 2 pairs of swim suits, a beach towel, a princess kick ball and 2 outfits.

~Birthdays~

2011-03-29T11:12:00.000-07:00

March is full of birthdays in our family, KC turned 31 on March 19th, I turned 25 on March 25 and MaKenzie turned 2 on March 28th. We didn't do too much for our (KC & myself) birthdays; however Kenzie got her ears pierced, we went to Hogle Zoo (she loved the carousel and Zuri the baby elephant), she got some clothes, a Little Tikes car, a tricycle and some other things. My mom went with us to the zoo and took several pictures, I will post them and pictures of her birthday party this weekend.

MaKenzie had her 2 yr. check up and the doctor says she looks good, he does want her to see an eye doctor because she might have a possible tear duct; her right eye waters all the time in or outdoors.

Her stats...
Length: 37 1/2 in
Weight: 27.5 lbs.

~Update~

2011-02-06T18:06:00.000-08:00

Sitting here at my parents house watching the super bowl, they made prime rib for dinner. I am not a huge fan of steaks or prime rib however KC and MaKenzie love to eat them. So I thought it would be a good time to update our blog.

The goose/duck hunts are now over. KC now just goes for drives and uses his FoxPro to call coyotes in, he has killed a few. Kenzie and I will go with him every once in awhile to get out of the house and Kenzie gets way excited whenever we see cows, horses, deer or elk.

My dad came over this past weekend and help us fix MaKenzie's door for her room and change out our ugly yellowish outlets for some nice pretty white ones. He also helped us hang some new lights; new to us old to him, they are the old ones they had in their kitchen and front room before they remodeled.

I can't believe that MaKenzie will be 2 next month. She is talking up a storm and has such a fun personality. She can be very bossy sometimes but I think that is typical at this age. We are thinking of taking her to The Hogle Zoo for her birthday.

I started this class at the beginning of January and I absolutely love it. It is so fun!!!

~We are still here~

2010-12-13T10:16:00.000-08:00

We have been busy these last couple of months; hunting, entertaining friends when they come down to hunt, decorating for the holidays, shopping, going up the mountain for load after load of firewood for the family. Instead of a Bed & Breakfast our house has become a Bed & Dinner because the boys usually wake up around 5 or 6 a.m. and don't come home until 6 p.m. so I usually only make dinner. There isn't any pictures with this post, I am having my gall-bladder taken out on the 20th, and don't go back to work until the 28th so I will have plenty of time to post pictures of the deer hunt and of Christmas.

~Lately~

2010-09-08T11:18:00.000-07:00

MaKenzie has become such the little Dare Devil, you turn your back for just a minute and she is climbing up anything. My parents are doing some remodeling in their kitchen/front room so they have all sorts of ladders out and MaKenzie will climb up them, turn around and just say "HI" and giggle. The other day I laid her down for a nap and noticed she was way too quite, so I walked by and she climbed up on the corner of the crib and was just sitting there with her legs on the outside. Needless to say that night I had KC help lower the mattress to the lowest position.

She has learned a new word, "MINE" everything is hers. She will grab my purse and say "Mine, bye," then she will give us a kiss and head for the door.

We have a couple of stuffed geese and ducks in our front room, every morning she will say "Hi Goose, Hi Duck, Hi Mama Hi Daddy" and then when it is bedtime she will say "Ninight Goose, Ninight Duck, Ninight Mama, Ninight Daddy." She has found the deer racks in the garage and will say "Hi Deer." Speaking of geese and ducks, KC showed MaKenzie his calls, she loves them, she even loves to sit with her daddy and watch the Hunting Channel and laughs everytime she hears a goose or a duck.

She loves it when we go outside at night and she will point up and say "Stars and Oon."

I can't believe how fast she is growing and all the words she knows.

~Fishlake~

2010-08-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

A couple weekends ago we drove down to Fishlake and spent the day fishing.

KC & Kenzie waiting for the fish to bite.

Finally got one.

She finally would hold the fish and I took a couple other pictures and while doing so I slipped and dropped the camera in the lake. :(

~Working~

2010-06-19T17:48:00.000-07:00

I really don't like the summer KC works from 5:30/6:00 a.m. till about 8-9 p.m. So MaKenzie and I keep busy by going the park to swing, we play in the pool, and we take plenty of walks through Hinckley.

MaKenzie is such a water baby, everytime you turn the hose on she runs to it and wants to play.

No pictures yet, trying to figure out what the heck blogspot is doing. GGGGRRRR.

~Dancer~

2010-05-29T12:41:00.000-07:00

MaKenzie loves to dance her little heart out, everytime she hears any time of music she will shake her body and dance. She especially loves it when we put CMT on while we do house work she will shake her little butt and swing her arms.

She has learned to give raspberries, plug her nose and say "incky" when she has a messy diaper, she loves to go out side and pluck the flowers and hold them in her hands and say "pretty pretty."

Every one have a happy Memorial Day.

~Volleyball~

2010-05-17T13:37:00.000-07:00

Still no pictures, waiting for my mom to play with them in Photo Shop. Hint!Hint! Plus I pick up our family pictures on Wednesday, so hopefully this weekend we will post them.

Back to the title on this post this past Fall I played Co-Ed Volleyball and our team took 3rd place(in the lower bracket). And about a month ago I played Women's Volleyball and our team took 2nd(in the lower bracket). Both seasons had about 16 teams so they did 2 brackets, top 8 and the lower 8.

Now we are off to Women's Softball, are first game was last Wednesday however because of the rain it was cancelled. So we play this Wednesday and we will see how that goes, the last time I played was Co-Ed 2 yrs. ago when we found out that I was pregnant with Kenzie. Hopefully this will get my stomach back into shape. HAHAHA

I have been playing Co-Ed Volleyball, Women's Volleyball, Co-Ed Softball for the last 7 yrs and love every minute of it and yes I did play while I pregnant. Women's Softball I have only played a couple times.

2010-04-29T10:49:00.000-07:00

I love my job, these past couple of weeks we have had some local High Schools and Universities come to Ash Grove Cement Plant and we have given them different types of Career Day tours. I get to go along with the tours and take photos, so we can sumbit them to the local newspapers. Plus I think it is kind of neat to see the big gears and crushers working up close. I am a dork.

~Walking~

2010-04-19T10:46:00.000-07:00

MaKenzie is finally walking, she will take several steps then realizes she wants to go back to crawling. She is loving the warm weather and will play outside for hours with her cousins. When I get home from work we either load up in the wagon or the stroller and walk around Hinckley and look at all the farm animals. She is fascinated with horses (Holli I think it is time to take pictures) but everytime we get close her little eyes start watering and her nose just runs. Also the news keeps saying that cotton, elm, and oak allergies are really high right now. Who knows??

We have been cleaning up the yard and planting flowers and antiques (old milk can, an old water spicket and a old wheel barrow as a planter). I am also on the look out for some antique tractor wheels or a little tractor to put a flower bed. So if anyone knows where I could get some PLEASE let me know.

We get family pictures done this weekend, when we get those back I will post them and same with Kenzie's 1 year pictures.

~Easter~

2010-04-05T15:50:00.000-07:00

This year was MaKenzie 2nd Easter and it was little bit more fun seems how last year she was only a week old. She was more interested in the plastic eggs than her presents, except for her little trucks. And yes we got her some trucks:

Her Sippies

Her Swimsuit

Her Trucks

Her Shades

Her Outfits

And of course it isn't Easter in Delta with out a little snow.

~Birthdays at the Stanworth home~

2010-03-29T14:47:00.000-07:00

The month of March is full of birthdays at the Stanworth home:
KC turned 30 on the 19th,
Jen tunred 24 on the 25th,
MaKenzie turned 1 on the 28th.

We celebrated MaKenzie's birthday on the 20th and here are some pictures.

Kenzie had 3 Great Grandmas here to celebrate her birthday amongst numerous grandparents, aunts, uncles, and many cousins. Kenzie wasn't into opening her presents I had to help her open some and same with the cousins. Also she didn't want much to do with the cupcake, either. I love it when she skips her afternoon nap she is so pleasant. NOT!!!

Kenzie got some clothes, a pink/purple dump truck, a vaccum that pops when you move it, a baby stroller and some other toys. She made out like a bandit. KC got some reloading supplies and some things for the new truck, and I got 2 pairs of jeans and some shirts.

~Tubes~

2010-03-06T15:21:00.000-08:00

On Thursday the 26th we took MaKenzie to the doctor for yet another ear infection and this time I asked our doctor if we could have tubes inserted in her ears and he said "I think that would be a great idea, seems how this is her 4th infection since November." So on Tuesday March 2nd we headed to the hospital to get the procedure done. Here are some fun pictures of the ordeal.

Before they took her back....

Grandma showing Kenzie the controls on the bed.

PEEK...

A BOO!!!

We were cuddling with the blanket.

After the surgery...(they warned us she would be crying and comabative for 40 to 45 mins.

Me trying to calm her down. While throwing a fit the pjs came off.

You can't tell but she was kicking up a storm, so we laid her down.

Ok now it is dad's turn.

Not a happy camper.

The oximeter.

Exactly 40 mins. later.

MaKenzie was crawling around, talking and wanted her pj's back on when she finally woke up from the anathesia. Her cousin Taven had the same surgery and this is them playing in the wagon at the hospital.

We are thankful that we did this procedure because it is like we have a new baby, she is laughing more and she is even standing by herself now.

~7~

2010-02-12T15:38:00.000-08:00

MaKenzie now has 7 teeth, 4 on top and 3 on bottom. She is pulling herself up to things and starting to walk along furniture. She is really fascinated with Yoda and crawls after him. MaKenzie has learned where the dog food and water bowls are and loves to play in them. Especially the water she will put her hand in it and say "UhOh". She can now say MaMa, DaDa, Ba, Oh, and UhOh. She can give you kisses (they are a little wet) and she wave. Her hair is coming in alot more. She now has wings by her ears and you can put a pony tail in it.

~Another One...~

2010-01-27T12:35:00.000-08:00

After a long night of Kenzie not feeling well I took the day off and made a doctor's appointment for her. Yep, another ear infection.:( Poor little girl I wish she could just tell us what is wrong.

Kenzie is completely off of formula, which has been nice. She takes after me she loves her vegetables and if you even think of feeding her fruit she will gag and gag. Vegetables are the best:)

I am back to work and love being back in to a routine. KC is working which is hard due to the weather. Gotta love construction, however he has applied for other jobs some of them are out of town. Our fingers are crossed.

Another highlight that I am looking forward to is THE GOOSE HUNT WILL BE DONE THIS WEEKEND. Yeppie:) Exept for one condition there is the one week in February where there is the Snow Goose hunt.

~Christmas Pictures~

2010-01-03T11:13:00.000-08:00

MaKenzie all excited to open her Christmas Eve present.

Here is what Santa brought Kenzie, her stocking is full of more clothes, socks, and hair accessories.

MaKenzie was so excited for her new doll.

She also liked her rocking chair.

~9 months old~

2009-12-29T12:06:00.000-08:00

MaKenzie turned 9 months yesterday, she had she 9 month check up and the Dr. said everything looks great and that we can start her on COWS milk. Yeppie $$$$ She had her first bottle yesterday and seemed to tolerate it half formula and half cow's milk for right now. Here are her stats:

~Weight~ 20 lbs. 6 oz
~Length~ 32 1/2 in. (Stanworth blood)
~Head~ 17 3/4 in.

This year was Kenzie's first Christmas and she was spoiled. She got clothes, 2 pairs of shoes, books, a little rocking chair, toys (including her first baby doll) and her TWO front teeth on top. I will post pictures next time.

She is now crawling all over the place. Let me tell you I sure do miss those days when she just laid there while I dressed her or changed her diaper.

Monday I go back to work. I am excited to go back but I will miss Kenzie like crazy especially now that she is to the age that she likes to play.

~Brrrr~

2009-12-11T11:10:00.000-08:00

During this lay off I have finished some blankets, painted some much needed molding and doors in our house, made a fleece car seat blanket almost finished with another one. My next project is to paint KC's toy box that his uncle Stephen made for him. It is blue with some Walt Disney characters on it. I plan to take the characters off and paint it white and the put them back on. I will post a picture of it when I am done.

We are taking some Christmas pictures this weekend of MaKenzie, I will post a couple when we are done.

MaKenzie is so dang close to crawling, she would rather just scoot herself around on her butt. She also can pull herself up on to things like our coffee table. UhOh.

I feel bad for KC he is working so hard in this cold weather, his bosses are still busy putting in basements left and right. To think the cold weather has just begun for those who are from Delta we sometimes don't warm up until May sometimes even then it snows.

Everyone try and stay warm.

~Anniversary~

2009-11-12T11:01:00.000-08:00

On Monday November 9th my parents celebrated their 25th anniversary. Congrats!!! We love them so much and are so thankful for everything they do for us.

Love you guys!!!

~Sinus Infection~

2009-11-09T10:43:00.000-08:00

Poor MaKenzie has a bad sinus infection. She had a fever Thursday night and most of Friday, when I picked her up on Friday after work I decided "we were not going to go thru the whole weekend with a sick baby!" Sat at the Dr.'s office till quarter to 7 (better than the ER $$$$$), our wonderful doctor said she had a bad sinus infection and gave her a shot of anitbiotic (thank goodness lets kick this thing in the butt) and she has to take antibiotics for the rest of the week. Which is sad because she hates the medicine and I feel bad giving it to her, I keep telling myself "you are doing this so she can get better."

Something we need to do is write down "when was the last time she had Tylenol," because Thursday and Friday night she/us would sleep for a couple of hours then wake up and we found ourselves waking the other person up asking "when did you give her Tylenol last" which beats the purpose of shifts taking care of her.

~Vaccinated~

2009-11-02T16:13:00.000-08:00

Well we did it all three of us are vaccinated for both the flu season and H1N1 season. Our hands and fingers are all dried out from using hand sanitizer all the time. It is funny how your perspective changes when you have a baby to worry about during flu season or anytime. I look at people and wonder "when was that last time you washed your hands" before they touch the baby. And YES I am one of those people that wipe down the cart with clorox wipes. We are trying our best to keep our little family healthy.

~Happy Fall Yall~

2009-10-24T15:09:00.000-07:00

Last weekend my parents watched MaKenzie while we went elk hunting and they took a couple of fall and Halloween pictures:

My Favorite!!!

THE SADDEST PUMPKIN IN THE PUMPKIN PATCH:

MaKenzie's first school picture:

Also I was a very generous wife/mom last week, first I had a head cold then later in the week I got PINK EYE. So this week KC got the head cold and MaKenzie got the PINK EYE.

~6 Months~

2009-09-29T08:32:00.000-07:00

Makenzie had her 6 month check up yesterday and her are her stats:

~Length~ 26 3/4 in. 95th percentile
~Weight~ 16 lbs 6 ozs 55th percentile
~Head~ 17 in. 75th percentile

She also received 4 shots including the flu shot (not the swine flu), we go back in a month to get the other half of the flu shot. Then we don't have to go to the doctor until her 9 month check up and no shots at that visit just a little prick on the toe to test her iron. She is growing up so fast.

We are getting everything ready for the hunting season KC and I both have cow elk tags and deer tags to fill. Our elk hunt starts this Saturday so I will take my camera and take a lot of pictures. Hopefully if won't be too cold, we will see.

The Week of "T"s

2009-09-13T16:51:00.000-07:00

This week MaKenzie found her Toes and is just fasinated with them . She also has two Teeth that broke through on the bottom. Can't take a picture of them just yet but you can sure feel them. She had pictures done on Thursday and would not smile she just kept sticking out her Tongue.

KC and I got MaKenzie a walker and highchair, the plan was to wait for Christmas but as you can tell we caved in.

MaKenzie getting ready to eat breakfast in her high chair.

MaKenzie is growing up so fast we just thought that she would need these before then.

Also MaKenzie is starting to sit up by herself and every time I go to get the camera to take a picture she tumbles down. I will keep trying to get it on camera and post it.

2009-08-15T13:50:00.000-07:00

Not sure if she got more in her mouth or on her face? She sure does love her cereal, butternut squash, and sweet potatoes.

4 month checkup

2009-08-04T10:44:00.000-07:00

MaKenzie had her 4 month checkup yesterday and here are her stats:

Weight: 13 lbs. 11 oz. (50th percentile)

Length: 25 3/4 in. (95th percentile)

Head: 16 in. (50th percentile)

She also received 2 shots. And we were told to go ahead and start feeding her fruits and vegetables along with her cereal. KC said pretty soon she'll be eating Prime Rib for Christmas.

Fishlake

2009-07-14T09:21:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we went to Fishlake. KC's family goes there every year for about a week. We drove down on Saturday with my brother-in-law (Kris), his girlfriend (Missy), and their little girl (Kodiann). We rented a cabin for the night, it was called a rustic cabin, it had pretty much everything you wanted except for dishes, pot and pans. Which was ok we ate dinner that night from the lodge and on Sunday morning we ate breakfast up at the camp ground with everyone. I would post pictures but we thought that we lost the camera but silly me I forgot I left it in my father-in-law's truck (which is now in Rock Springs), so they will have to wait.

We started feeding MaKenzie rice cereal, she isn't quite sure about the texture but she seems to like the taste of it. I can't believe how fast she is growing. She is so cute with KC, she knows the routine when dad gets home from work she plays with him and talks to him (tells him about her day at the babysitters), while I cook dinner.

This coming up weekend we are going camping up Oak City Canyon with our friends Trent and Holli Bradshaw and their two little boys Cache and Trey. I will see if I can barrow one of my parent's camera and take pictures and post them next week.

Talk to ya then

Allergy or Cold?

2009-06-24T15:06:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the Dr.s to see what could be wrong with Kenzie. Our nieghbor recently cut his hay so we were thinking she had hay fever (runny nose, sneezing, and her eyes keep watering), or could it be a cold cuz a little boy was sick at daycare. Well the Dr. said "maybe it is allergys but she is too young to have allergys plus even if it was we can't give her anything and same with the cold. So just keep sucking her nose with the bulb (not so fun) and if she gets a fever bring her back in." Also Kenzie is starting to get bumps on her gums and we all know what that means, TEETH! So we have had a fun week so far. Poor Kenzie, I feel bad for her.

Finally...

2009-06-20T15:05:00.000-07:00

Ok, I have finally figured out this whole blogging business. Well ok it is a working progress. The next step is to try and figure out how to download pictures. Till then we will just have the post
