Girls Road Trip











This past weekend, my Mom, Brandy, Isla, and I went on our first girls road trip to Washington to see Adam, Jenny, and the girls and it was a blast. Well, except for the 11 hour car ride! Isla was so good and she just slept and then I was the entertainer in the back seat. We were back seat buddies. When we got to Washington, we had so much fun with the girls! Saturday morning, we went and watched Kennedy and Kaiya at Ballet and then we went to watch Kelsey at gymnastics. Then Adam showed us around the law school. He really is one amazing brother. It was funny as we walked around campus because I have never seen so many people stare at the girls in my entire life. I guess in Washington, it is not common to have 5 beautiful little girls on campus. My brother truly is amazing! He is doing so well in law school and is at the top of his class. The girls just adore him and I watched him as he was laying on his stomach doing his homework, while Khloe was playing horsey on his back and he was capturing Kolby in his legs while he was erasing the picture that Khloe had drawn for him on his homework. That is a dad for ya. Jenny really is such an amazing wife and mother! The girls are so good and get along so well. She is Adam 's greatest support and I loved talking with her and being up there with them. Saturday night was our Girls sleep over and we went back to the hotel and went swimming and then Kennedy, Kaiya, Kelsey, and Kolby slept over at the hotel. It was so funny! Kaiya fell asleep on one of the beds and when I tried to pick her up to move her she started talking in her sleep yelling, "Kennedy stop it, Stop it." Then I told Kolby (3years old) to get ready for bed and she went and sprawled out on the queen sized bed and wouldn't let anyone on and thought she could have the entire bed to herself with 8 girls in the room. I was laughing so hard. She wanted to watch dora and was just giddy jumping on the bed yelling, "Swiper, No Swiping!" In the morning Kelsey kept waking up really early and asking if Isla had woking up and stretched yet. She wanted to see Isla's first stretch in the morning so she kept waking up and then going back to sleep and finally at 7:00 Isla woke up and stretched and Kels was so excited. We had so much fun and when we went to leave, the girls had hid my moms keys behind the couch so we couldn't go. Brandy accidently left her camera at Adams so we had to stop there on the way out at 5:30am. Kaiya had told Adam to wake her up so she could give us hugs and Kennedy came with her. I miss my nieces, but it was so fun to spend the weekend with them. I am grateful for such a wonderful family and excited for our next girls trip.

We were all being entertained by watching Isla trying to roll over:) Then Khloe and Kolby had to show us that they could roll over also! It was so funny

Kawaguchi Girls







I was so excited for my brother Adam and his family to come visit a little while ago. Our nieces are the cutest things ever! We were able to have a little family dinner and then on Friday, my mom, sister, and I, along with our 6 nieces had a sleepover. It was so much fun! We played a lot of hide and go seek, even though one of the girls peed her pants while she was hiding. I guess she didn't want to be found. I also had the opportunity to watch "The Princess and the Frog" at 5:00 in the morning with Kolby. She wasn't tired:) It was so much fun and I am so excited to see them soon!

Isla Jun Jensen










My sister Brandy adopted a little baby girl about 4 months ago and she is so cute. I am so excited for Brandy and know that it has been an emotional roller coaster for her as she has gone thru this adotion process, but it truly has been a miracle. Little Isla Jun Jensen is so cute and truly has been a great blessing to our family and all of us adore her. I cannot wait to have a baby! I am so excited also to have the chance to adopt like Brandy has. Here are some pictures from the shower we had for Brandy and also some picture of Isla over the past couple of months. My mom put me in charge of making a quilt and the decorations and I have to admit that the cake pops turned out pretty stinkin cute:)
