2011-06-23T21:34:00.000-05:00

It is nice that he has gotten older, Caitlin will actuall play with Patrick..... for brief moments, when she's not kicking him or pushing him down. This was one of those moments.

Just Beautiful.

Visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa's

2011-04-25T22:50:00.000-05:00

Caitlin and Patrick playing on the floor at grandma and grandpa Bushell's. Can't tell you how cute (and rare) it was.

Gotcha!

Caitlin tickling Patrick

love the puma suit.

I cannot tell you how important this image is to me.
Maybe the most valuable picture I have ever taken.
This captures all that's been important to me for the first thirty-five years of my life and for the last three and one-half years of my life.
The reason I moved back home.
To spend time with my grandparents, to have kids, and to make sure my kids get to spend time with my grandparents.
Mission Accomplished.

On the Train at the St. Louis Zoo

2011-04-25T22:36:00.000-05:00

Love the look on Patrick's face.

I"d like to think she's covering her ears because of the loudspeaker in the background and not because she is not listening to me.

Whatchulookinat?

2011-04-25T22:32:00.000-05:00

funny picture of a camel.

Goats!

goats,

and more goats!

She earned her treat!

Working on the Farm!

2011-04-25T22:24:00.000-05:00

Put her to work as soon as we arrived.

Caitlin standing post at her newly stocked 'store'.

Selling the goods. She charged me $3 for a pear and then sold an entire basked of fruit to this little sucker for only $1. What the....?!?!?

Meanwhile momma and patrick caught some zzzzzz's.

Santa!!

2010-12-25T13:56:00.000-06:00

Caitlin and Santa engage in some friendly teasing.

Virtually impossible to get five kids to look the same direction, and smile at the same time. This was the best of the bunch. Sophia, Emily, Caitlin, Santa, Jared and Patrick.

Through the front door?

2010-12-25T13:49:00.000-06:00

Whose idea was this anyway?

2010-12-25T13:46:00.000-06:00

"A trumpet! I've been waiting for one of these for, like five years!!"

2010-12-25T13:43:00.000-06:00

Wow, a Princess Puzzle!!

Wait, it has how many pieces?

Thanks Santa!

2010-12-25T13:41:00.000-06:00

I think he likes it, not that he needed any more toys.

Hey Sis, can you give me a hand with this?

2010-12-25T13:38:00.000-06:00

Looking right at ya!

2010-10-31T21:27:00.000-05:00

Four Generations of McKenna Boys

2010-08-24T21:29:00.000-05:00

First time four generations of McKenna Boys have ever been together. Here's a shot with Patrick, His Dad Michael, Gradpa Roger, and Great-Grandpa George McKenna.

Love this shot!

2010-08-24T21:26:00.000-05:00

Look how happy she is!!! This was taken in mamaw and papaw lisenby's backyard during a july birthday celebration.

Birthday in Bloomington!

2010-08-06T18:19:00.000-05:00

The excitement was evident, she had soo much fun trying to catch the magic ball.

Isn't she a little young to be drivining a huge tractor? She hopped in and started shifting the gears like an old pro.

This was just too cute. She was standing behind the register in the grocery store area and this little boy walks up and sets his basket down. Without missing a beat, she begins to 'ring him up'. After she 'scanned' the milk and told him he had better get a new one 'because that one was a little warm', she charged him $103 for a pint of oj. Is it too early to apply to Business School in Champaign?

This machine was awesome. you place your hands on metal plates and a real kick drum beats your heartbeat.

2010-08-06T18:04:00.000-05:00

Tumbling,

Painting,

Shrinking

She really left an impression on the Children's Museum.

Happy Birthday Caitlin!

2010-08-06T17:58:00.000-05:00

Children's Museum in Bloomington. photo is unaltered. pretty cool, huh?

Last visit to Woodruff High School

2010-07-26T09:44:00.000-05:00

When Caitlin heard that 'Papa' was going to Woodruff to tour the building with his classmates
Caitlin asked "Are you going to Woodwuff? I love going to Woodwuff. Please can I go with you".
Nearly broke my heart to think that she will never again be able to go to 'Woodwuff'.

Caitlin standing in frond of the warrior head water fountain.

Caitlin looks so little standing in the middle of the Gym.

She was so happy to go to the pool where Mommy, Megan,
Mark, and Michele used to swim. When we were getting ready
to go, she asked, "How come we're not getting in?" the Lisenby
in her was shining through.

New Playset!

2010-07-26T09:33:00.000-05:00

Thanks to Uncle Joe, Grandpa Jerry, Grandpa Roger, Mommy and Daddy for spending all day making my new playset.
"I LOVE IT"

Caitlin could not wait to have a picnic on her new playset!

Jared shows Caitlin how to use the 'telescope' while Emily waits for her to try the slide.

Not sure what to say....

2010-07-14T21:33:00.000-05:00

She has a lot of atti-, I mean Personality. :)

Kenzee and Patrick

Feeding the Sheep

2010-07-14T21:26:00.000-05:00

Here's Caitlin feeding the sheep at Wildlife Prarie Park. Can you see the teeth?

Lil' Butterfly

2010-07-14T21:23:00.000-05:00

How cute is my little butterfly. Hard to get the shot, she remained for only about 9 seconds, just long enough to point and shoot.

Chilling out

2010-07-14T21:20:00.000-05:00

Patrick was such a good boy. Out in the heat for hours, off-roading in the stroller. I swear he didn't make a peep.

Holy Schnikies!

2010-07-14T21:17:00.000-05:00

Yes, that's a Black Bear. Yes, we were that close. It started out about 4 ft. away from us. Wow!

Gazing at the Animals

2010-07-14T21:13:00.000-05:00

2010-06-12T14:00:00.001-05:00

what's wrong with this picture?

2010-06-12T13:54:00.000-05:00

Whack!!!

2010-06-12T13:07:00.000-05:00

It 'almost' went to the fence! ;)

Making the other team mad?

2010-06-12T13:05:00.000-05:00

Judging by the look on the first basemans face, I think she was 'safe'.

and she's off....

2010-06-12T13:02:00.000-05:00

literally. off the ground.

It's a Hit!

2010-06-12T12:59:00.000-05:00

Kenzee hits a ball being pitched by Uncle Joey. She flew to first base. No Really.....

Isn't she beautiful?

2010-05-19T20:42:00.000-05:00

This kid is so amazing. I can't even begin to count the ways........

Weeeeeeeee

2010-05-19T20:41:00.000-05:00

I'm not sure what she's doing here, but..

2010-05-19T20:34:00.000-05:00

she sure looks determined. This picture really captures this little girls spirit. She is so determined to do whatever she has her mind on, must've gotten that from her mother.

2010-05-19T20:23:00.000-05:00

look how excited she is!

On top of the world!

2010-05-19T20:22:00.000-05:00

or at least on top of a mulch pile! I'm sure it seemed like it was a mountain to Caitlin. Look how excited she is! I love it!

who's that I see.....................

2010-05-19T20:18:00.000-05:00

at the end of the monkey bars?

Away we go!

2010-05-19T20:14:00.000-05:00

Momma took me to the park. Papa joined us and he took me down the spiral slide. This is right before he got stuck.

thousand words

2010-05-02T12:16:00.000-05:00

A picture is worth a thousand words.
Or in this case a hand can prevent a thousand words.

Happy Baby

2010-05-02T12:12:00.000-05:00

Patrick was all smiles at Cousin Jared's First Communion at St. Thomas Church yesterday.

Learning to play violin

2010-05-02T12:11:00.000-05:00

After the Kindermusic session was over, we went out to the gym for a violin lesson, then a quick snack and on to calculus class.

'Air Caitlin'

2010-05-02T12:07:00.000-05:00

We took the kids to a free Kindermusic class on Saturday morning. I walked across the room to take some pictures of Caitlin. Here I caught her just as she was jumping for joy. Needless to say she loved the class. May have a future basketball star on our hands. I expect her to be dunking by the time she's in the sixth grade.

That's a funny looking bird......

2010-05-01T12:34:00.001-05:00
