Weekend

We had a nice weekend! :)

I was planning on making Friday night a movie night but our little party pooper decided to fall asleep at 6:30! But Jeff & I took advantage and he picked up take out on the way home from work and we ate a quiet dinner (haddock parm! Yum!) while the little one slept! :)

On Saturday Jeff & I took Kenzie to open gym at a local gymnastics place!

She loved it....and we loved watching her!
On the 4th Saturday of each month, 1-4 year olds and their parents get to have free range of the gym for an hour....all for $5! :)

This morning before church....

notice the braids again?

I think this week she had a braid everyday! She asks for them and I love them b/c they keep her hair from getting all tangled! Win-win situation!

After church today Justine & Tati came over to visit!

Kenzie was very excited and showed off quite a bit! :)

These were the only somewhat good pictures I took of the 2....

Apparently, Kenzie had too much fun....

and was sleeping by 6:30!

Let's hope this doesn't mean she's up before 6 tomorrow morn! :)

2012 So Far

So far 2012 has been good to us :)
We haven't been up to much!

Jeff started at a different job so he's been working about 60 hour weeks so Kenize & I have have had a lot of mommy/daughter time and we've been missing daddy!!

Kenzie has been busy playing with all her new toys from Christmas!! :)

Jeff's sisters' bought Kenzie the V-Tech Innotab....she loves it!
Jeff & I really need to buy rechargeable batteries b/c this girl goes through batteries like there's no tomorrow with this thing! :)

Kenzie and I have also been playing a lot of games!! She got 3 new games for Christmas and I must say I really enjoy playing them! :)

Not sure what to even say about this...hehehe
...or this...
Last week we had very nice (for January) weather!!

I couldn't believe we went for a bike ride in January in NY....that's unheard of! :)

We have also had many play dates with BFF Abbie...this is a blog post in itself!!

These two have become inseparable this past month or so!

They use to fight a lot (and their fights were vicious at times!)....but lately they really have become such good friends! Kenzie is constantly asking for Abbie to come over! Abbie will cry at church if Kenzie is not there....Kenzie cried when Abbie couldn't come to story time at the library and through her sobs she would say "but I love Abbie, I want her to come" hehe :)

And they have also been a little devious t/g....

Example: Jeff took Abbie and Kenzie to open bounce the other day (by himself) and afterwards he took them to Wegmans for lunch and to pick up a few groceries.
Well...they decided to run around, hug each other until they fell and chant "Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie" in the store! I guess Jeff was a little "grumpy" (Kenzie's words!) b/c he told them to behave and Abbie goes to Kenzie "Come on Kenzie, just ignore him!!"

They are so cute, but so naughty sometimes too! :)

Kenzie has a had the "post Christmas blues" hehe...she has prayed for it to be Christmas Eve, she's prayed for Jingle our elf to come back and the other day I found her doing this....

....I wasn't sure what she was doing at first but she told me she was flying in Santa's sleigh (the chair being the sleigh and the stroller being Rudolph! :)

And I'll wrap this post up with pictures of sleeping Kenzie just b/c she's cute :)

Our Snow Day!

Yesterday we had our own little snow day!

No, the schools were not closed around here but we decided to declare it our snow day since it's the 1st big snowfall of the season!!

Reading her library books as she is patiently waiting for mommy to get ready to play outside!

Pups went outside to see the snow with us too! :)

Wouldn't this have been pretty on Christmas!?!?!

Frosty! :)

She made me walk in circles around Frosty and sing "Frosty the Snowman" as we were circling him!

Even though she could have stayed out a lot longer, this Mama was cold!! So I might have bribed her with Hot Cocoa! :)

Later Kenzie painted her piggy bank she got for Christmas! :)

(doesn't her hair look blonde in this picture!?!)

Luckily the weather got a little better and we were able to enjoy Family Fun Night at our church....Kenzie loves these nights!! Last night it was the Cars 2 movie....I'm not sure if Kenzie was a fan of the movie...she had more fun running around playing and eating popcorn! :)

Disney on Ice

Today Jeannine & I took the girls to Disney on Ice...thanks to my brother & sister in law, who bought the girls the tickets!! :) They were all VERY excited!!

Kenzie woke up this morning and told Jeff that today she's going to see princesses! :)

When Kenzie saw the very girly/princessy/sparkly outfit I picked out for her she said "oh wow!" haha...Sleeping Beauty shirt, ballerina/princess skirt, and sparkly tights...I knew she'd love it! :)

All 4 of the girls loved it!!

When I asked Kenzie what her favorite part was she listed all the princesses but I think her favorite was Jasmine & Aladdin! My favorite was the Lion King! :)

Rapunzel & Flinn....

Snow White....I wish the pictures weren't so dark!

Even Pups came along! :) (surprise, surprise! hehe)

Afterwards the girls really wanted to pick out a toy from the venders at the show but Jeannine & I had a brilliant idea....instead of buying them a WAY overpriced toy, we took them to the Disney store after to pick out something little!!! Seriously, same exact toys and 1/2 the price!! :)

Happy New Year

We spent New Years in NJ with Jeff's family!

On NYE we drove down after Jeff got out of work for the night! It was a spur of the moment decision (those are the kind of decisions I'm usually not good with!) but we decided to go down for the night since Jeff just started a new job so his hours might be kinda crazy for the next couple months!

Kenzie was very excited to see her Abuela, Tia, Titi & cousin Drake! :) She asked all day if it was time to leave yet and since we had to wait until 4 when Jeff got out of work she asked me a million times "we going to Tia's house now?". :)

The drive down started well...a quick stop at McDonald's for dinner and then Kenzie watched a movie and was very good! A hour before we arrived at their house Kenzie said she had to go potty....I wasn't too concerned she's held it for longer than an hour before so I knew she could do it. A 1/2 hour after that she started complaining of her belly hurting. I just blew it off thinking she's tired of sitting in the car and she has to go peepee...no big deal. Even when she told me she had to "pukie" I still thought no big deal...she's just tired of being in the car! Well.....should of listened to my daughter b/c sure enough she "pukie'd" all over herself, her carseat and car! And...while she was puking she couldn't hold in her peepee and went potty all over herself, carseat and car! Poor girl had to drive another 1/2 hour covered in pee and puke! I felt so bad for not believing her and to make matters worse she said she was sorry for puking! :( And when we arrived at Jeff's family's she didn't want to go in b/c she didn't want anyone to see her all messy!!! So we had to take her in another door to go right upstairs so noone would see her before she went in the bath! Poor girl!

But once she was all clean and in pj's she was ready to play! :)

She had so much fun with Drake....it's so cute watching them run after each other! :)

Kenzie always does fun crafts while she's there....this time she made a gingerbread house with Titi!
Wrestling with Drake....

On the way home we took Kenzie by this house to see all the lights...you can see it from like a mile away....I'm not sure if you can tell by the picture but this house brightened up the whole neighborhood! :)

Happy New Year!!
