Meet Sennika

Senn at the Grand Canyon

Sennika is 11 years old and quickly growing into an amazing young woman.  She is a major bookworm and loves to plan, then carry out art projects or other creative endeavors. She loves her chickens and family history.  

Sennika is the most beautiful of our children. :)  She reminds us constantly that she is outnumbered by "smelly" boys and looks forward to the possibility of one day having her very own sister.  She does hold her own pretty well with all the rowdy boys and Gavin even occasionally takes pity on her and plays Barbies or Polly Pockets when Mom isn't available and she is sick of Legos.  Mom and Sennika have "GT" (girl time) every week. We usually spend an hour or so together doing something fun, connecting, and that we can't sneak in during the day without brothers teasing or ruining it. :)

Sennika is radiant and confident.  I overheard someone complimenting her at church on how cute her new haircut is and she responded with, "I know."  I love that she walks with a bounce and approaches life with high spirits.  She has a big heart and cares for her toys with great love.

Senn with Mom and Dad on her first time in the temple! With the new
changes, Sennika is one of the 11 year-olds who qualified for a temple
recommend and the Young Women's program "early." (for our church)
She has taken her own family names most times. She has LOVED
learning about and finding her own ancestors.

Sennika's greatest gift to our family is her example of desiring things of the Spirit.  She was baptized last year and is learning to listen to the Holy Ghost more each day.  When she has a challenge or frustration, nine times out of ten she will come bounding into the room and announce that, "I prayed about it" then share the answer or solution.  One of our favorite times of the day has become tucking her into bed at night.  It has been a privilege to listen to her discuss her day and we cherish the opportunities it has given us as parents to speak on a spirit to spirit level with her.

Ready or not...? YW! <3

Out for milkshakes for "Mommy's Club." On the day of the month the kids were born they get to do something 1:1 with Dad. On the day for the month (ie- May = 5th) that they were born, we do something 1:1 with Mom.

Her favorite color is blue (Robin's egg blue like her bedroom).

Her favorite food is anything at Maddox.

Her favorite toy is either books or barbies.
