This is Kenzie’s new favorite Christmas song.

We listen to it over and over. She is becoming quite the little singer.

“Box of Rocks” by The Song Trust

Here’s Kenzie’s version…..

We made a quick trip to the cabin last night to pull the trailer up and get ready for the bowhunt. Colten opted to stay at grandma’s because Gage was staying over, so we just took Chase and Makenzie (and Peety of course).

We have fun watching the two of the interact with each other. Makenzie loves her big brother, and he is pretty good about it (most of the time).  We don’t know what she is going to do when Chase starts school in a couple of weeks.

They played Farkle, Uno and watched a dvd, before going to bed.

In the morning, we cleaned up around the cabin, put the trailer in place, then went for a walk to the top of the hill. There were some barrels that dad filled with water last year, so we poured them into the water tank. Kenzie and Chase were so helpful!

As Marcy and I grow older (especially Marcy) and our lives continue to change – big time lately – we appreciate just being together with the family as much as we can. We’re continually talking about how fast our kids are growing up and how we wish we could “freeze” time.

We’re so glad we have somewhere like “The Cabin” to spend time.

Davis Gluch – Lake Powell July 2009

We took the treck down stream this year. One of the stops we made on the way was up Escalante to see Davis Gulch. The water has come up a lot sense the last time we were here which was 7 years ago. It is always amazing to see the changes through the years. I am glad my kids have the chance to see the way times change even when it is just on the Lake. This trip took us 0ver 10 hoursbut was so worth it. The boys had a blast, and Kenzie is always a trooper in the boat. We took Matt, Brittany, Gage and Garrett with us in our boat and the rest of the clan were with my parents in their boat.

We made a day trip this July up to the Ruins in Forgotten Canyon at Lake Powell. The hike was a hot one! Kenzie was not happy about being there and was not in the mood to hike up the mountain in the heat. So, i was the lucky one who got to carry her all the way to the top.The boys on the pther hand, run up the mountain like little moutain goats. Colten could come here every visit to Lake Powell, it is one of his favorite places to see.

Kenzie was fun this time up here, she really liked it. She made me nervous always wanting to look over the edge and watch the boats below. She was “watchin for her daddy” which was WAY down there hiding in the trees with the boat. She was fun to watch go inside the ruins and at one point told me she was staying in the house. There was a guy there who got a kick out of it. He told me that the rent was cheap and that I should take her up on it, there is no mortage.

It was fun to have all the cousins – or those who were with us- enjoy this trip together. They all got along really well.  I am sure more fun times will come in the future!

Makenzie loves to cuddle up and watch The Backyardigans. It never fails, every morning, some afternoons, and most evenings she grabs her pink blanky and binkie and says, “I want to watch friends.”

She’s seen them so many times now (so have we all) that she knows all the songs they sing by heart. She loves to sing along with the TV.

It’s crazy to think how fast she is growing up and it scares me to death to think of what is still to come.
