Successfull Kentikah

I think Kent would agree that this year's Kentikah was a success. On Friday he was gifted with a new waffle maker and he promptly made us waffles for dinner. Saturday he received a label maker. I was a little reluctant to buy him a label maker even though he has been wanting one for quite awhile. You see, he has threatened to label all of the cabinets in the kitchen because he has a hard time finding stuff. But I gave in and he was very happy I did. So far he has only labeled one thing of mine. On Sunday he got two Cabela's hunting games for the Wii and a Wii rifle. He seemed pretty excited about it and we went downstairs to play his new games. In the one game he had to climb a cliffside and once he reached the top there was a big bear that roared at him. We both screamed! His mom and dad invited us out to dinner with them and Kent's grandma and Uncle Dean. He wanted an Obama cake in honor of the election and that is what he got. I think it turned out pretty well but I am not too fond of the border I put on it. Oh well.

Happy Blogiversary!

It's my one year anniversary of blogging! Sorry I haven't been better at updating my blog but it has been fun writing it. If you feel it neccessary to send gifts then I will be forced to accept them.

Happy first day of Kentikah everyone.

Shalom

The End of Kentikah

Well Kentikah has come to a close and I think I speak for both Kent and myself when I say that this was a great holiday. On Saturday we had lunch with the Campbell family where Kent was spoiled rotten. He wanted black tie mousse cake from the Olive Garden. I must admit, it was very tastey. He had a bit of help blowing out the candles which made him a bit nervous because small children are prone to spitting on the cake. It came off without a hitch even if Mary Jean only had gigantic candles. We took his grandma back to her place because she had some pictures for me and she gave me some great stuff! She actually had an envelope that had been sent to her from Ron and Mary Jean while they were in Kenya. Inside were a few pictures and negatives with pictures of Kent and Rob. I've scanned them in but I am going to take them in and get prints. Kent's second Kentikah present was Star Trek The Undiscovered Country on DVD. It's his favorite movie. Hopefully I can bypass ever having to watch it.


Sunday was a very lazy last day of Kentikah. He opened his last Kentikah present. It was a small AM/FM radio that he can carry around to listen to Dr. Laura on. I figure if he can listen to it on his lunch hour then I won't have to listen to it other days of the week.

Happy First Day of Kentikah!

Happy first day of Kentikah to one and all! We had a great day today. We got up waaaaaaaay too early and went into town for breakfast (now that we live in Nibley we are people who "go into town"). Then we decided to go south and see Camille, Sam, and Jonah. It was a fun visit. It was good to see them. It had been over a month since we had seen them. Those boys grow up so fast. Sam is learning so many words and Jonah really wants to walk. Probably so he can get away from Sam, who had just moments before we got there clocked Jonah a good one upside the head with a piece of railroad track. After that we went shopping at Target hoping to find some great Halloween clearance and we didn't find a dang thing! Then we went to eat a burrito place that was maybe a 6.5 on a 1-10 scale. Kent and I are in search of the perfect burrito. So far the best we have found are at a place in Salt Lake called Lone Star. Another great burrito was found at a place in San Jose CA named La Victoria. Needless to say we don't get to that place often enough. But I digress, back to Kentikah. After lunch we came back to Cache Valley and we had invited Jason and Craig over for birthday dinner. It was nice to see them even if we did have to kick them out because we were too old and too tired! It was a long day!

Here is Kent as the Grim Reaper. I couldn't get him to let me paint his face but he still looked pretty scarrey.
