Library

Today we had another snow day! I'm so happy to have a 4 day weekend!! Today Kenzie, Daddy & I played outside, dug out our car and Kenzie ate snow-a lot of it! Haha not sure what's so appealing about snow but I feel like all kids love to eat it!
It finally stopped snowing during Kenzie's nap so after she woke up we walked to the library. Kenzie loves books and I love to read to her but after reading the same book a million times it gets a little old! Luckily, we live within a 3 or 4 minute walk to the library!
Kenzie loves the library....a little too much! Once inside she screams & shouts, runs around, climbs on the chairs, knocks over the puzzles and calls out "doggie" over and over again (b/c of a stuffed dog on the shelf)....not the best library behavior!!
Here are a few pictures from our 20 minutes at the library....I purposely do not stay long fearing people might not like a wild little toddler running around! :)

Snow day #2!

We had another snow day today! It has been snowing all day and it's suppose to keep snowing tonight too! Maybe another snow day tomorrow?!? A 4 day weekend, I'll take it! :)
It was windy and wet outside so I wasn't expecting to stay out long....but to my surprise Kenzie did not want to come in! She even took a few falls and went face first in the snow but she's a trooper and got up and played some more!
Showing me her snowy mittens!

Kenzie and I went to my sister's for lunch...I took a lot of pics! :)
How cute is this pic of the girls!?! It's very rare to get a good picture of 2 toddlers! :)

Kids Kingdom

Today Justine & I took Kenzie & Tatiana to Kids Kingdom. We've been wanting to take the girls there for awhile and when better to take them than on a cold winter day! They loved it and we loved it too! What's better than seeing your child having fun?!?!
They ran, climbed, jumped, laughed, made friends, and cried when we had to leave (Kenzie)....

It seems as though every time we get the girls t/g their age difference gets smaller....I'm so excited for the day when they can actually play t/g! I know soon they will be bff like their mommies!

18 month stats & pictures

On Monday Kenzie had her 18 month check up! She did great....well until the nurse & doctor came in! The doctor said Kenzie went through a little growth spurt....
She now weighs 21 lbs 15 ounces....
And is 32 1/2 inches tall....
Kenzie was too cute....when the doctor came in she covered her eyes for a minute or two...that's her newest little trick. I love how babies think if they can't see you then you can't see them!
Everything looked great...and Kenzie does not have another appointment until she's 2!!
Here she is waiting in the waiting room....
The appointment really took its toll on Kenzie and she passed out within minutes of being in the car...
Here are some random pictures from the past week or so....
The other day I came home to find that Daddy put a pony in Kenzie's hair...I was so proud of him that I had to take a picture! Cute, right?
This girl loves her back scratched! The other night Kenzie fell asleep while Grampy was scratching her back!
I sometimes think that Kenzie could play hide & seek all day long...
She only has about 3 0r 4 hiding spots but that doesn't matter!
She will hide in the same spots over & over again but it's still just as fun!

Kenzie got these bath time crayons from Santa and we finally used them! They are so cute! Kenzie is going through an "anti-bath" phase so any new bath toy helps! She loves them and has not tried to eat them yet!

She had a crayon consuming moment not too long ago and Daddy had to scrape red crayon off her teeth but not before she drooled all over her outfit and sofa!

I'm in love with Kenzie's hair when it's wet! I could just play with her curls all night....

Valentine's Day 2010

Happy Valentine's Day! We had a nice quiet day...Jeff had to work so Kenzie and I spent most of the day indoors!

Jeff & I wanted to celebrate V-Day yesterday since he had to work all day today...so we waited until Kenzie woke up from a nap and then ventured out. We had to stop by a couple stores before we went out to dinner. At the 2nd store Kenzie decided she had enough shopping and she wanted to eat! I managed to get her in her car seat despite the huge meltdown! We choose the closest restaurant which was The Outback....1 hour wait! No way....so we headed back to the car with a screaming toddler, pointing to her mouth for food! I somehow managed to get her back in her car seat despite Kenzie's superhero strength trying to stop me! We drove by Fridays....the parking was way too crowded to even stop...so we kept on driving with a SCREAMING baby in the back. We tried Red Lobster....over 1 hour wait! This time I ran in without taking Kenzie out! So we were off again....and you know where we ended up? McDonalds! Haha! Definitely not the Valentine dinner I wanted but at least Kenzie was happy!
I tried so hard to get a picture of Kenzie but she was not in a picture taking mood today....most of the shots turned out like this....
Eating a Valentine's cookie that we made for Grampy! :)

Yesterday Kenzie had another little play date with Abbie!

I managed to take a few cute pictures of the girls but then they just started making funny faces....haha
I had to laugh when I compared both of these pictures...Abbie & Kenzie have the same exact face! hehe...they are too cute!

Snow Day!

How happy was I when I got the "no school" call today?!? Very happy!!
There is something about a snow day that makes me feel like a kid again!
I was so giddy this morning knowing I could stay home and play outside with Kenzie! It got even better when I realized Jeff was off today too! :)
We played outside and tried out the sled for the 1st time...
Kenzie LOVED it!
It was the cutest thing seeing her in the sled. She looked so tiny! We walked all the way to my sister's house...
Kenzie was very excited to see my sister's house and she even squealed when she saw Grampy outside! Sometimes she acts like she doesn't go there almost everyday! hehe
Before we left for our walk back Kenzie and Abbie had a few minutes to play outside together! :)
Today was snow much fun! hehe :)
