I know - another "uh-oh" video. I'm obviously heady with power that I can actually post a video! Anyway... BOTH videos were cute so I couldn't decide which one to post.

Ben's having a good time at the barn party too. These glowy things are yummy!

Here's the pic I tried FOUR times to post already on my lovely dial-up. And now.... (okay, Heather, get over the excitement of highspeed - you're pathetic - and talk about the picture)... :)
Here's Kate and Sarah dancing some more (Sarah said she almost tripped over her several times) ;) and Isaac's dancing too! You go, boy!! :)

AHHHH!!! HIGH SPEED INTERNET!!!!!!!

WATCH OUT!!!! I have high-speed internet access on MY computer for the next few days. I will reclaim my rightful throne as the blog queen! Here I gooooooo!!!................

We went to a barn party the other night and Kate had a BLAST dancing with her friend, Sarah. And a little sidenote...Kate ADORES Sarah. She doesn't seem to notice at all that Sarah is so much older than she is, she wants to go over and ask if she can play all the time. It's so cute. And Sarah's so good with her - I love it. We got VERY lucky in the "neighbor" department with this move. :)

Mmmmm... tasty! (just another thing to chew on)

Something my other sons never got a chance to do at this age... play with Barbies!

I guess this is Jesse's idea of making Ben "safe" on my bed... just plop a bunch of decorative pillows around him. And evidently, Ben is very happy with this. :) Btw, notice Ben's hair... it does that ALL the time! He has two cowlicks (is that how you spell it?- I don't think so...) on either side of the crown of his head, making him look slightly "Spanky-ish" at times. But he's still so darn cute!!!

Ben's face... obviously he's a little irritated that he didn't get any ice cream cake... sheesh! :)

Silly kids!!

Happy 12th Birthday, Sam! (a little late on the posting, I know) Isn't he CUTE?! :)

Kate's prayer

This morning on the way to school:
"... and Jesus, thank you that now I'm five... and now I have the longest time of my whole life to wait till I be six."

Pic #3... (with a sweet smile) THERE she is!

Pic #2... Oh, I think I see my Mommy!

My new FAVORITE thing that Ben does... when I walk into his room to get him, he strrrretches up and peeks up over the side. Ohmygosh, it is SO cute!! Pic #1............

This is so Kate - a picture that kind of captured "the essence of Kate"... bright-eyed and happy.

Kate "reading" her card from Gma and Gpa Anderson (thank you, G & G). :)

Happy Birthday my five-year-old girl. Love you Kate!!!

This is a priceless picture - I love it! My Uncle David (the boys' great uncle, obviously) took the boys fishing at our pond. They had a blast! Thank you, David! :) I wish I would have taken more pictures but I got a little distracted with getting Molly OUT of the pond - ugh!

Sorry, I had to post this one too since it's just too cute. (if I do say so myself) Doesn't it look like he's saying "Who, ME?!" :)

Thank you, Kim N., for the adorable outfit for my sweet baby boy. :)

Hmm...

Christie Brown has been praying for me in regards to Small Group training (which I appreciate SO much). She gave me a passage to read on Sunday night and said she's been praying this for me. The passage is Philippians 3:7-14 and one part in particular struck me (and got me a little choked up when I read it to Todd)... verse 13 & 14...

"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching FORWARD to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Then there's this comment in my study Bible -- "To be distracted by one's past debilitates one's efforts in the present." And I can't help but wonder if it also makes me miss seeing the blessings He's sending my way now.

Lord, help me to be GRATEFUL... and humble.

Home from her first full day. :) She was so excited... they "singed" and played "Beanbag Boogie." And they got to paint... which was completely appropriate since her all-knowing big brother, Jesse, told her that in preschool you get to paint all day long. :)

More pics of the schoolgirl. :) Mom requested this picture of Kate on her first "FULL day." There's a little story behind it... we had dinner at Mom and Dad's Tuesday night and we were all sitting around the table talking. Someone said something to Kate about school... something like "and you're going tomorrow?" She kind of puffed out her little chest and said very proudly "Full day." In my mind I could hear her saying "oh yeah" right after it. It was that kind of tone. It was SOOO funny!
So here she is before getting in the car for her first full day. :) She had to include ratty pink bear too. (she kept saying "say cheese, pink bear." -- goober) :)

And here she is at school, ready to go into her classroom. :) She's such a big girl! (my baby girl... *sigh*)

Kate had to have the TINKERBELL backpack! (and she's very proud of it, can you tell?)

Happy first day of school. Sam - 6th grade (I CANNOT believe that! I have a SIXTH grader?!!... and he obviously wasn't quite ready for the picture - sorry, bud); Isaac - 5th grade; Jesse - 3rd grade; Kate - 3 day a.m. preschool

The Kenoyer Family Reunion 2007

Everyone is pictured except for Emad and Joanna (we wish you could have joined us - we missed you). 26 out of 28... not bad.
