Happy 3rd Birthday Isabella!
Grandma made her Princess cake (right after Barbie lost her legs)!
Snow Day in Austin!
Has anyone ever seen "The Christmas Story"? This picture remind you of anything?
He means business.
Pretty much the face that gets Brody anything he wants. He can work the lip.
Brody woke Bella up on Christmas Day to see what Santa brought!
Hostess with the Mostess...for Santa.
Our first real "Twas the Night Before Christmas"...a tradition begins.
No really Bella...this is fun!
Okay...but only if I can eat all the marshmallows "off" of the house.
Safety First.
Evil Knievel.Hi. Yes, I'm signing back on with my tail between my legs as I have just realized that it has reallllly been 5 months since I updated our blog! Yeek! So sorry about the delay but when the Fall hits Austin...so do the Brides and not long enough days with the kids in perfect weather! Oh and then the holidays, and snow and gingerbread house making and Birthdays and well, that puts us here!
I have no idea at all where to start from September except to tell you all that the children have become little people. Actually, I take that back. Bella has become an adult in a little person body! She has an opinion (about everything), she is color coordinated (thank the Lord), she loves breakfast for every meal (my kind of girl), and she is gorgeous!! A cute little bob with ridiculously big bows, grey- green eyes and the sweetest little smile ever. We celebrated her 3rd Birthday this January with a Princess Painting Party where 8 of her best little girlfriends from dance class came over and we painted our own smocks. So messy and so much fun. She will be starting preschool in the Fall, only two days a week, but we are super excited. Brody is a small body builder....and as "boy" as they come. He growls and grunts, and laughs when he toots and yes, he pesters his Sissy to no end. But on the same note, he's a sensitive little guy that snuggles for 45 minutes when he wakes up and will fish kiss you every moment of the day if he could :) Brody will be turning 2 this March and he is growing up way too fast for me!
Matt and I are doing wonderfully, working our hineys off, madly in love, looking forward to our 5 year wedding anniversary coming up in March, and just really enjoying our life. We wish we could bottle up a little piece of it forever, because we know we will not remember the little sayings and quirky thoughts that hit our children's lips each day and just crack us up. (Mommy: "Bella you really should go to bed" Bella: "Oh it's okay baby-you should go to bed. I'll set the timer for 5 minutes for you") Matt's business has literally taken off and we are looking at the possibility of hiring an employee or two this year, and he is really building some amazing work for his clients. Take a peek at the website http://www.southernoutdoorappeal.com/ , which we are currently revamping in the background to launch new work soon! I have been busy with Brides and non-profit Galas, and I love the city and the vibe here for what I do for a living. It is a very forward thinking town so nothing is too far outside of the box...including some crazy creative ideas I get in the middle of the night and attempt to transform into my events! We just launched a brand new website as well, check out my "Swoon" gallery at www.weddingsbykennedy.com!
My Mom is a blessing. A blessing. A blessing. She takes the most amazing care of Bella & Brody, and let me tell you, Grandma is the most popular lady at our house :) The kids love her sooo much...oh and when they get in trouble, Grandma is there to snuggle and make it better too. hahaha She gets to enjoy the beautiful Austin weather and takes nature walks with the kids each day. They collect flowers, meet friends along the way and stop at each stars n stripes (flag) and Bella proudly puts her hand over her heart and recites the pledge of allegiance perfectly. It is hysterical to watch-the older neighbors can't get enough of her pledge.
Miss you all-hoping to see some more family & friends as the Springtime nears! Love Love Love! Us
