Lake & some other pics.....

On Monday Jeff and I took the girls to a nearby lake! They all had so much fun! It's so much fun to watch Kenzie run in and out of the water and roll in the sand. We went back yesterday for a few hours before Jeff had to work....I could just watch her play all day!

Jumping in her "pool" (aka a hole in the sand)

Making a tunnel...

Kenzie trying to crush the tunnel...Ella wasn't too happy!

3 beach beauties! We missed you Abbie! :)

Morning hair....

I might have used 1/2 of the bottle of detangler to get through this mess! :)

Random picture but I think her eyes look pretty!

There are some outfits that make Kenzie look like an overgrown baby....usually they are one piece outfits. I just love them! Anything that can make her look like a baby a little longer...

Jeff called her "mommy long legs"

Yesterday I was cleaning her room and Kenzie showed me out she can climb on her changing table by herself!

Father's Day 2010

I know it's a little late but Kenzie & I just wanted to say Happy Father's Day....

I know this picture is almost a year old but I love it and sadly I didn't get any father/daughter pictures on Father's Day! Just like Mother's Day I had planned on taking nice pictures after church but I'm not too sure what happens....I put it off and then it never happens! Jeff wanted a very low key day....his only requests were to have wings and to watch the Yankee/Mets game! Although the Mets lost, I think Jeff had a nice relaxing day! :) We ended the day at our local ice cream shop for Jeff's free milkshake! :)

**************

Daddy,

Thank you for taking such good care of me! Thank you for rubbing my back and for pretending to sleep on my hard floor when I'm having trouble falling asleep. I loved our days together during the school year when mommy was working-our morning walks were so much fun! Thank you for letting me play with all your fun gadgets...I especially love your ipod and head phones! I love when you're home at night and get to have story time with mommy and I before bed! You know my favorite....The Wheels on the Bus! Even though mommy is better at the song than you I still love it when you're there! I love you so much daddy!
Love,
Kenzie

Summer has started!

I noticed that it has been over a week since I've posted so I thought I would post some pictures! Summer has started so we've been playing outside, jumping in puddles, going on walks and so on...Ahh I love summer!!

Kenzie's concerned face b/c she just saw a bug on my chair...
Pointing to the bug...

Cooling off her little foot...

Showing me her "butterfly"....it was actually just a flower petal...

Potty....

Now that I'm home everyday I'm trying to be more consistent with potty training!
I'm not too sure how it's going....she understands what she has to do but she holds peepee and poopoo in until I break down and put a diaper on! Yesterday she said "no no potty" and brought me to her diapers! She tinkles a itty bitty bit in the potty but then waits until I put a diaper on and then lets it all out...I'm not too worried I think she'll get the hang of it soon! She's been going around in her birthday suit with only one accident on the floor/furniture so I'm pretty proud of her already!

Big hair...

Outdoor fun...

The other day Kenzie & Abbie had a play date playing with Abbie's new water table that she got for her birthday!

Don't mind my mom's 100 lb dog in the background! hehe

I noticed I don't have many pictures of Kenzie smiling but I promise she had a fun time! :)

Memorial Day Weekend!

We had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! My weekend started on Friday since I did not have to work! :) On Friday we took care of all the food shopping, laundry, and cleaning so we could relax and enjoy the weekend! :) It was a gorgeous weekend....maybe a little hot but I will take the heat around this time of year b/c I know in NY this time can also be very chilly still!

On Saturday Abbie had her 2nd birthday party! She had an Elmo theme....we all had a great time!

On Saturday night Jeff's family came up from New Jersey! Kenzie was sleeping when they arrived so she was very happy to wake up to Abuela, Titi, Tia & baby Drake!

Kenzie had a great weekend with Jeff's family! They kept her entertained the entire time! Even now she still asks for Titi (she calls both of Jeff's sisters this) and A-La (That what Abuela sounds like when she says it!)!

Kenzie loved helping Tia take care of Drake! She ran to get him a binkie if he started to cry and wanted to help give him bottle! It was too cute! She wasn't even jealous when I held him!

On Sunday we relaxed, got some ice cream and played in Kenzie's teeny tiny baby pool! At one point Kenzie wanted mommy and daddy in the pool with her!

Kenzie & Titi Nataly playing in the water....

On Monday, we enjoyed the Memorial Day parade! Kenzie was a little more interested in the caterpillars on the trees and a dog nearby but overall she enjoyed it and even waved to everyone in the parade!

After the parade Jeff's family left...we let Kenzie take a nap and then headed over to a nearby lake for a day of fun in the sun! :) This was Kenzie's first time at a big body of water so we had no idea what she would do. She was a little timid at first....she chose to play with the sand instead of the water at first but after we ate lunch she asked for "wa wa" and loved it! She was a little angry when we had to leave! I'm excited for more trips to lake soon....and next time I will definitely take pictures!
