Celebrating my 29th Birthday on March 28th...

Dad made dinner for my birthday on March 28th (I am so late posting, I have been a terrible blogger and reader).  It was delish, as always.  The whole family came over to celebrate.  I received a Pandora braclet and everyone gave me charms that represented them.  I love it!












 And I just wanted to add this picture.  This is my Mom in the hospital with me, 29 years ago.  :)

My 29th, Flag-Football, Ethan's First Birthday and Other randomness...

Last Monday we celebrated my 29th birthday at Mom and Dad's. We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, green beans and icecream cake. It was a nice time and I got lots of Pandora charms to add to my Pandora bracelet.

Ketchup... February and March

I have been such a slacker on blogging.  Things have got crazy, we have been so busy, and I promised myself I'd dedicate today for blogging...  I am going to briefly list the things we've done and follow with pictures. 

First we celebrated Ryan Jones' 30th birthday down at Port Tobacco and I snapped a few shots:
 

On Valentines Day, Kenny completely took me by surprise (and I mean COMPLETE surprise) and proposed in front of my whole family.  I should have guessed b/c Momma had out her professional camera and when Kenny handed me my "gift" she quickly said "come sit down and open it".  ha ha  I was wondering why she was so enthused for me open my present. 
This is how it went down:
I opened the card and inside there was a personal note from him that said
"Karen, I love you and Makenzie so much.  I can't imagine my life w/o you two in it, SO... WILL YOU MARRY ME?
Needless to say I ripped through my package until I pulled out a ring.
 I know he loves me with his whole entire heart, he loves me for what's on the inside, for the person I am, not what I look like on the outside, he strives each and every day to make me happy, he works hard, he believes in God with all of his heart and attends church with me and my family, he loves my little girl as much as he loves me and she loves him. 
Here is the ring and it's perfect!!


Kenzie and I went to see Disney Princess On Ice with Friends.  We had really good seats and the show was great.  We ended up sitting right next to the Risen's. 
 







Kenzie went to Ocean City with her Dad.  You can see her holding her new barbie.  She also got too close for comfort to a bear.  :)

We visited my favorite two little guys
Kolten Dudley
Ethan Murphy

We also said good-bye to a very special lady that I called Grandma.  This is Mandy Dudley's grandmother with Kolten.  She was  A VERY special lady.  She will be greatly missed.


I bought a new Dodge Durango, 3rd row seating, and most importantly (to Kenzie) it has a DVD player.  Among the many other reason's we got the truck... this is one of them:


We are dog sitting for our neighbor Lara.  Her dog Luna is so adorable and we love dog sitting.


Monday is my birthday, the LAST of my twenties. :(  I am not liking that.
