Ukulele lessons

Uncle Graham got to give Kennon his first ukulele lessons! Kennon in general loves music and musical instruments - so it was a blast!

Vickie and Anna in town

Anna just returned home from being in Italy for almost a year! Her and Vickie got to come and visit us a week after her arrival and I got to prepare a special dinner for them.

The day at the Coronado beach

On my mom's birthday, we decided to make a picnic and go to the Coronado beach (my favorite, by the way) for most of the day. It was so much fun to see Kennon play with the sand!!!

He absolutely loved it and had a hard time saying good-bye to it :) By the way, he already knows to wave in order to day Hi or Bye :)

Grandma Vera's Birthday

My mom's and my birthday are exactly one week apart. We had a little party for her as a family.

Kennon is wishing his Grandma a very happy Birthday!

And of course, he is the one who gets to unwrap the presents!!!!

This cake was given to me by Grand-Dad and Judy. Isn't it amazing! All of the "wrapping" was made from the frosting even though it looked like a real silky ribbon with a green box. I've never seen anything like that before and decided to post it as a memory.

This is the bouquet that JK made for my from our own garden! I think it is so beautiful!

And Vickie (JK's mom) sent this one to me on my day! As you can probably see - I Love Flowers!

The morning of Ira's Birthday

What a wonderful surprise it was for me to see my two favorite men wake me up with flowers on my Birthday!

Notice the bouquet of flowers that John Kennon gave me!!! He made it himself for me from our garden!

Kennon definitely enjoyed getting the rose ready for his mommy!

Box Time

Kennon loves playing in a shoe box!

Long Day

Kennon definitely was overwhelmed after going to his daddy's office for an administrators' meeting!

Couch Time

Druling!!!!!

Still teething.....

Playing Peek-A-Boo with Grandma Vera

Modeling

Every time we go out with Kennon people tell us that we should try him for modeling. We decided to give it a shot. In order to do it, we needed to take some snapshots and send it to an agency. Here are some of the pics that we are considering.

I don't think I will send this one, but I thought he was cute here :)

I will definitely have to edit the last two pics and erase my smile from it :)

Watch Out!

This time Kennon got a hold of my purse and surely had fun with it!

I wondered why Kennon was so quiet for soooo long!!!

He definitely enjoyed going through mama's purse :)

Do you see anything suspicios in this pic???

Yep, somehow Kennon unscrued my liquid lipstick, squeezed it out on the carpet, and rubbed it in! Now I really need to watch out for this little stinker! :)

My First Easter!

Kennon was happy to show off his first 2 bottom teeth! His first tooth came on March 28, 2007.

Still teething and biting those gums!

Trying his first Easter egg.

Rolling it around and playing with it.

Easter Breakfast

This Easter Sveta gave us those special Russian egg covers. They are made out of thin plastc cover. And in order to get it on the egg, we just had to put the egg inside of the cover and put it in the boiling water for 1 second, and it immediately covered the whole egg with a beautiful picture. It was fun doing it and very easy! And we had a Russian touch to the Easter.

My mom also made some Russian easter bread, which was our family tradition for all these years. It was very special to have all of those goodies, but mainly have our family together on such a special and blessed day! Christ is risen indeed!
