Go Steelers!!! They must have made a bad play, because Kennedy hands are in the air asking, "what the heck!!!" Every Sunday morning Khari and her will sit in front of tv commentating football. Yes, she talks back to him as if they're having a real full on conversation. She is already a football fan!!!


Yum... Give me some of that food she says!!!

Kennedy goes Bananas!!

Kennedy loves some Bananas!!! Okay, so Kennedy is almost 6 months and yes we are just barely starting her on solids!! On her 4 month check up the doctor told me I could start feeding her solids anytime from 4-6 months, but he also said that there were no pros or cons to starting them before 6 months. He said usually the only reason parents start earlier then 6 months is because they the parents are excited for the baby to start new things.

Okay.. to me.. nothing sounded fun about starting this new adventure of food!! I know I must be a bad or not usual parent, but honestly she was doing so well with formula! I have to admit tho, it has been fun seeing her try some new food!!
Good thing she has great grandparents who spoil her!! My mom and dad bought some real food for Kennedy so we tried out the bananas on Sunday. Her first expression was price less but we didn't have the camera ready. It was a surprised, "what the heck" expression!! But, once after the initial shock she seemed to like it. Its so funny because I don't think she really knows how to work her tongue yet, but I'm sure she will get the hang of it soon!She already has a mind of her own, she had to hold the spoon and help me feed her!! Oh goodness I think we could be in trouble!



Patiently waiting for Grandma to feed her and singing along with Grandpa as he cooked. I guess Grandpa was making up songs and she thought it was the funniest thing ever. They said she just kept laughing.

Getting ready to leave Grandma and Grandpa house after a long conversation with Grandma. She loves to converstate with her Grandma. Lol.. what they are saying we're not sure, but they both seem to be having a good time!!

Inauguration 2009

What an amazing day in History....
January 20th, 2009,
Barack Obama became our 44th President of the United States!
This is a day I/we have all been waiting for, this is a day of change.
I tear up of happy tears thinking of this. This just proves that anything and everything is possible. Kennedy, this opens up the world to you. You can be and do whatever you dream. President Obama is Bi- Racial and the first African American President of the United States. Many thought this would never be possible, but he proved them wrong. I am excited and anxious to see what the future will bring.

Go Utes

Go Utes......
Friday Khari, Kennedy and I met Niki, Lani and the kids up at town for the U parade. The U football team won the Sugar Bowl a couple weekends ago and they had a parade to honor the team. It was so much fun, so much energy and beyond exciting!! All the players were giving out high fives and auto graphs. Once the parade went by everyone followed the team to Washington Square for a pep rally. It was so crowded that we really couldn't see or hear so we left. But the whole atmosphere was awesome! It was so great to see everyone come out and support the team!!

Finally a post. Pictures to come soon!!!

Thanksgiving.....
I know.... its been forever since I've last blogged. The past couple months have been so busy. lol.. I thought I was busy before, but now with Kennedy I seem to be double busy!!
....but definitely enjoying every minute of it!
I will try and get the pics posted this weekend. Its amazing to see how much Kennedy has grown and changed the past couple months.
Thanksgiving was very nice!! We had dinner over at Aunt Cle's which was so yummy as always. Thanks Aunt Cle and Uncle Clem!!! This year Khari cousin Marshall was in town so it was fun to get to spend some time with him as well.
After dinner we headed over to my mom and dads for some pie. They were so nice and watched Kennedy that night so I could go to work the midnight shift at Express.
Lol.. it was so funny to see the rush of shoppers at midnight!!!
Christmas....
was so much fun this year!!! Kennedy really didn't understand what was going on but we had Jasmine, which brought the life of Christmas back! Christmas Eve we went over to Aunt Carolyns house for a bit and then home to open our jammies and read our Christmas story.
Off to bed we went anxiously waiting for Santa Clause to come...
and he did come....
It was a lot of fun to see Jasmine eyes light up when she saw Santa had come. She was making us laugh because she kept wanting to open all the presents. Lol.. and when Kennedy got a present she said this is for Kennedy and Me!! Thankfully Kennedy really didn't understand... so yes.. her presents were also Jasmines!! After we opened gifts we went to my mom and dads for breakfast. Thanks Dad for the delicious breakfast. I have to admit that is my favorite thing of Chrsitmas. We were spoiled at my parents and got a crib, toys and stuff to start our storage!! Thanks mom and dad!!
It was so funny.. there was so much excitement as we all opened our gifts.. the whole family was there and we were having such a good time. Lol.. we looked over and Kennedy had fallen asleep on my dads belly. It was so so cute!!
It had snowed so much on Christmas so we really didn't do much. But that night we did make it to Aunt Cle's house and as always had a good time!!

New Years.....
Lol.. okay there isn't much to post here beause we were asleep by 10:30pm!!! Yes.. I know.. and for you of those who know Khari and I.. this is quite surprising. Our parents teased us, saying... they could tell we were parents now!!!
I can't believe that 2008 is already over.
2008 has been such a life changing but good year!! I have been so beyond blessed. Sometimes I just sit and wonder how and why I've been so blessed. But I am oh so thankful for all my blessings. I have blessed with a beautiful healthy daughter who totally makes my day. She is the happiest baby and totally lights up the room! Blessed with such a wonderful, supporting family who I love somuch. Blessed with such an amazing church family. Blessed that Kennedy has such a good father. Blessed to have such awesome friends who have been there thru everything. Blessed to have a good job. I could go on and on..

Kennedy 5 month.....
Wow.... the time has gone by so fast!! It amazes me so much how she learns and the new things she is always trying and accomplishing. She is now talking... and quite the talker.
Its so cute, she loves her babysitter Niki and her family so much.. every day when I pick her up she just talks and talks.. as if she's been telling me about her day. She'll just laugh and smile... so you know they must have been having a good time!!
She is so strong, Khari had her standing at the side of the couch and she loved it. She's been really strong from the begining being able to hold her head the day after she was born and standing for so long.
We thought she was getting some teeth but they have seem to gone down. I felt so bad for her. You could tell she was in so much pain, she would cry and bring her lips in putting pressure on her gums. Its so hard not being able to take the pain away, but she is doing much better. Lol.. until the teeth try again!!

Real food..
Khari cousins came in from Texas so we all went to dinner after church. Kennedy was getting so mad because everyone was eating and she wan't. We gave her some mash potatoes and ice cream... she really didn't know what to think of it but seemed to like it!
I promise to try and be better in 2009 with my blogging. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.
May all your dreams and wishes come true in 2009!!!
