The Jem Jar

A month or two ago I started a jem jar with Kenzie.

Kenzie was very excited to get started!

We gave Kenzie jems for good behavior....which doesn't work all the time but it's still fun! :)

I was hoping it would stop her from sleeping with us...it didn't, but there is always next time around, right? 

Here she is proudly showing off her full jem jar! :)  

As her prize for filling her jar she could pick something fun to do! 

She picked the playground with her bff! :)

 Right before she started spinning uncontrollably...these things are so crazy!

 Better idea....spin the puppies instead! :)

 They both needed to be rescued after climbing...hehe!

 It's crazy to think in a month or so she'll be playing on this playground without her mama close by! :(

I still can't believe our baby will be in Pre-k!!  

Pictures

For my birthday last month Jeff bought me a new (to me) camera!!  It actually use to be my sister's so I'm somewhat familiar with it....I love it! :)  

So I've been having fun with my new toy! :)
Plus I have a cute little model to help me learn my new camera and in 3 months I'll have another pretty little princess to take pictures of! 

So here are some pictures from the last few weeks! 

 After swimming at the high school a few weeks ago, she fell asleep at 6:15!!!  

 Kenzie's "dog" she created! So cute, right?

 The night before I took this picture, Kenzie fell asleep with wet braids...her hair looked so pretty after, I had to take a pic!

 Busy concentrating during our "school" time

 love her drawings!!

 I had to take a picture of her 2 ringlets on the bottom on each braid! 

 All ready for open swim...

 Puppy dogs had to watch Kennie play with her Innotab! :)

Long Beach Island {part 3}

Ok, so this is my last post about LBI! :)

  I guess I took a lot of pictures during our little 3 day vaca! :)

Kenzie was not happy about our last day at the beach!  

She made it clear she didn't want to go home!

We spent the morning at the beach with a break for a bbq lunch and then back to the beach before heading home.

 This was Daniella's first time at the beach with Kenzie....it took her a week to warm up to the sand and water! By the last day she enjoyed playing....too bad she didn't like it sooner, Kenzie enjoyed her playmate! :)

Kenzie watching Homeward Bound for the 100th time while Jeff & I packed the car! 

She was in rare form right before leaving, running around in circles and running on the 

sofa as fast as she could.  

Kenzie asked me to take this picture.....

she loved playing with our friend's 12 year old son!  

For the last hour or so she followed him everywhere....poor boy!

Before leaving she kept saying "let me say bye to little Mikey one more time" and then get out of the car and act all weird...and during our ride home she kept on talking about him...and even told me about his freckles!  Oh boy! :)

Long Beach Island {part 2}

Like the day before Kenzie woke up asking to go to the beach right away! :)

We started the day playing and swimming....

An ice cream truck came by the house every 5 minutes....

so we had two cute little girls asking for ice cream pretty much every 5 minutes! :)

After the beach we went back to the beach house for a seafood lunch!  

It was so yummmy! I should of taken a picture of it!  

We had clams, shrimp, mussels, corn on the cob....I'm hungry just thinking of it! :)

After lunch and going back to the beach for a bit, Jeff & I took Kenzie back to Fantasy Island for a little bit since she had so much fun on the rides the night before! :)  

Since I'm preggo, I wasn't allowed on any of the rides! 

I had to laugh when Jeff took Kennie on the teacups....I could barely see Kennie on the ride so it pretty much looked like a grown man riding the teacups by himself! :)

After, we went back to the beach to take some pictures....

I love this one!

Kenzie took this picture....
