Jumping Jungle

Today we went to Jumping Jungle for an hour of open bounce! I think I might have been a little bit more excited than Kenzie....we both stepped on the same inflatable and I stepped a little too hard and "popcorned" Kenzie off! Hehe....oops!

I definitely got a workout in today!
This picture is of a little girl who Kenzie made friends with....but I guess Kenzie was going a little too slow and the little girl decided take matters into her own hands and push Kenzie through the tunnel! hahaha....I think Kenzie might have done a little flip/somersault! hehe :)

She was a little too active to get any great pics but she had so much fun we know we'll be going back soon...so maybe I'll get some good pics then! :)

Happy Spring!

Like everyone else we are more than ready for Spring! We had some nice days this past week which leads me to believe nice weather is right around the corner! Kenzie was sick this past week....she had a fever of 104.7 for 2 nights....which made me very nervous! It finally went down the 3rd day when we brought her to the doctors. I didn't think they would do anything, thinking that it would have to run its course, but turns out she has a double ear infection! Luckily I don't believe her ears hurt her at all, I think we caught the infection before the pain! She had xrays done to make sure she didn't have pneumonia....she didn't....but she was very good during the xrays! She's pretty much back to normal now...well everything but her attitude! She has been a pretty naughty terrible two lately! She's always sassy to us but lately she has been sooo cranky! We want our sweet girl back! We needed a break from our little sweetheart so we dropped her off at my sister's so Jeff & I could have dinner out! When we got home she was a little nicer....maybe she wanted a break from us too!

Last weekend Jeannine, my mom and I took the girls to see farm animals at the mall! They all had so much fun! I didn't take any pictures in the mall but this one proves how much fun they had.....

All asleep except this little guy....who was staring at me while I was taking the pictures!

After the mall Jeannine and I took all 5 kids (all 5 and under) out to Burger King for lunch. Surprisingly it went well....at first. Jeannine had just commented how well lunch was going when within minutes everything fell apart! 4 out of the 5 kids were crying/screaming! At one point Sophia was mad at Jeannine so she told Abbie "cry Abbie cry!". Jeannine made a quick getaway to the car (with her kids) but I was left with Kenzie. She has had many public tantrums but this was far the worst! She screamed, hid in the booth, hid under the booth, went limp and then finally walked out (on her knees). It was horrible....I couldn't even make eye contact with anyone....I just kept my head down and got in the car as fast as possible!

* * * *

On a positive note, one of Kenzie's favorite things to do now is to hide! Some of her hiding places really crack me up....

This morning I came in to get her and she was no where to be found....

And then I thought she was still hiding but quickly found Kenzie under her crazy "cousin It" hair....

Just incase you're not familair with Cousin It....

The other day I was trying to get her ready for a nap and I couldn't find her....
My favorite....I came in my room....I heard some giggles and saw a big poof of hair but had NO idea where Kenzie was...
Just some cute pictures...

Please don't be fooled by this sweet face....she has been such a stinker!!!

"Princess Ballerina" and more....

Today I asked Kenzie what she wanted to wear....

She said she wanted to wear a princess dress...I quickly came up with "Princess Ballerina"....twirly skirt, leg warmers, and princess shoes! She was very happy! :)

Later, I painted the Princess Ballerina's cute little toes! :)

Yesterday I took Kenzie to story time at the libary....
The theme this week was "I am special"....they made this cute name ribbon craft...I thought it was very cute!

I might have made a huge mistake...I let Kenzie use scissors yesterday and now all she asks for now is to "play" with scissors! She spent a 1/2 hour yesterday cutting paper...haha how fun! My first double stacked bow....I might have spent 3 hours on this and maybe it's not perfect but it turned out a lot better than expected! :)

Watching Diego...
Last night I put her to bed and she kept on yelling "Mommy I love you"
So I would say "I love you too"
And then she said "I love you too, too!"
I love this age!

Seriously?!?!

Go figure, right after I posted about playing outside, getting some fresh air and nicer weather we get hit with a huge snow storm! I had no idea this storm was going to be so big....we got about 20 inches in less than 24 hours!! There was a state of emergency in our county and nearby counties! Crazy...because tomorrow will be sunny and in the 40's! There might be a massive flood when all this snow melts! Kenzie & I played outside while Daddy worked hard shoveling out our car!

And of course we had a little meltdown...

Right now I can't quite remember why she was mad but I know she told me she didn't like anything outside (as she looked around)...

"I no like car, I no like snow, I no like shovel....."

It went on forever!
This picture is right before she fell to the ground.

SO dramatic! (she gets it from her daddy)

Actually now that I think of it...I think she was mad b/c I was taking pictures! hahaha

Fresh Air

Today Kenzie & I ventured outside to get some fresh air. It's definitely not Spring yet but at least the temperature reached 40! We didn't stay out long but it was enough to get out of the house for little bit and give us some hope for nice weather soon!

Kenzie rode her bike...

Colored with chalk....

And then arranged the chalk in a nice line.....
and blew some bubbles.....

Cute Conversations

Lately Kenzie has been talking a lot and saying the cutest things.
Some conversations I do not want to forget:

Kenzie: "Mommy, Friends is on!!"

Me: "I know Sweetie!"

Kenzie: "Mommy, I'm so proud of you. Give me five."

* * * *

For the past couple weeks or so Kenzie has added the word "first" to almost everything....weird being that she's an only child....obviously she's always first. I was hugging Kenzie the other day and said "I love you so much"....Kenzie then answered "I love you so much too, first!" Hehehe

She has also been going through a "Big Baby" stage (just imagine Big Baby from Toy Story 3..she acts just like her!). It can get very annoying! She can go through a whole conversation speaking in baby talk and it drives me nuts! And it's not just a baby voice, it's not even words, more like baby sounds! At 2 I know it's not too bad but lets hope by 3 this baby phase is over! The other day I was asking her a simple question like "Do you want a drink?".....she spent 5 minutes acting like Big Baby with a lot of "ahhhh" "oooh" "gaaaa"....finally I was so fed up I said "SPEAK!" and then she goes "roof!" Hahaha...Not exactly what I was looking for! I guess she's going through a weird phase of wanting to be a big baby/dog!

Something not so cute but a little funny.....

She went though a phase of telling us she doesn't like us when she's mad. Whenever she will say it she goes straight to time out so now she has learned not to say that she doesn't like mommy and daddy...she now will get mad and say "I don't like....(looking around the room)....floor, chair, food, toys, flowers, window, etc"....anything she can see around her! It's tough not to laugh when she's being such a stinker!
