Kenzie's 3rd Birthday

This year we did not have a party for Kenzie! Our wedding kinda took priority this summer! Sorry Kenzie! Speaking of our wedding...we had an amazing day! Everything turned out perfect....I will definitely be posting pictures as soon as I get them!!

But back to Kenzie's birthday...since we didn't have a party we wanted to make the day was as special as possible for her! Unfortunately, Jeff just started Radiation the day before so he couldn't spend much time with us! Luckily he didn't have to be hospitalized but he still had restrictions on what he could/could not do...and for the first 3 days after the treatment he was suppose to keep 3 feet apart from people! So Friday night Kenzie and I spent the night at my sister's house....which Kenzie was very excited about!!

Sophie and Ella decorated this box for Kenzie and inside was a pony, horse, homemade card, yarn ball (made my Sophie), homemade envelope with stickers inside, a rock and a piece of yarn! The girls were so excited to give it to Kenzie....and Kenzie was just as excited to receive it! :)

I brought over one of our presents to give her in the morning and waited until later to give her the rest (when Jeff could watch too)...

This was a soft Rapunzel doll that she had picked out at the Disney Store, but did not know I bought it!

I let her pick out what she wanted to do on her day and she chose Chuck E Cheese....

(Here she is practicing blowing out candles....while waiting to leave for Chuck E Cheese)

Unwrapping gifts from Grampy....

Later that day before we had cake she unwrapped her gifts from mommy and daddy! :)

Playing with her new dry erase crayons and board (She loves this and uses it constantly!!)
Trying out her new skates...

After presents Kenzie and I went over to my sister's for cake and ice cream....

(I let her pick out her cake and she picked this one with dinosaurs...hehe)

We hope you had a wonderful 3rd Birthday Princess!! We love you sooo much!!

Happy 3rd Birthday Makenzie

I can't believe this was our little Kenzie 3 short years ago....

Kenzie-I can't believe you are 3 years old!! Time is flying but Mommy & Daddy are having a blast watching you grow up a little everyday! We love you so very much and we love every inch of the sassy, princess-loving, rough playing, beautiful little girl you're becoming!!

Here are a some things Miss Makenzie is up to at 3....
*Loves Disney princesses!

*Loves to ride her bike and will often try to do funny tricks on it (pedal with one foot, hold on with one hand, etc.)

*Will talk about her friends in her class (Sunday school) all the time (even though she doesn't know any by name!) and will often put aside markers and paper to bring to them at church!
*Loves to play rough....I don't remember the last time I played with her without me getting hurt! hehe I think she longs for a brother! :)

*She's pretty sassy...well actually very sassy! I can't believe the attitude she has for being 3! Her favorite line is "I no care....you're so mean" (while singing it)

*Talks about poopy ALL THE TIME! We've tried to ignore it, we've tried to address it....nothing works, this girl cannot say a sentence without poopy, peepee, fanny, poopy dance, etc....

Some of her recent poopy talk:
Me: Kenzie what do you want for your birthday?

Kenzie: poopy

**

Me (on a different day): what do you want to do on your birthday?

Kenzie: Um...just play...with poopy

**

Kenzie (while playing with her Rapunzel tower): "Rapunzel let down your poopy" (instead of let down your hair)

**

And last but certainly not least was a conversation I had with her on the phone while Jeff and I were in NYC...

Me: How are you hunny?

K: poopy

Me: I miss you sweetie!

K: ok, poopy

Me: what are you doing?

K: nothing, just poopy

((I love this age but this poopy stage can certainly pass at any time!!))*Still has a massive amount of curls that I have yet to cut....

*If I let her she'd wear her blue dress from Walmart and Princess nightgown (that use to be Tati's) every day and night! I think she's just frugal....Walmart & hand-me-downs! :) She gets sooo excited when she knows that I have washed them!

*Lately she's been saying the cutest things....I wish I could just record what she says! She will say "that feel good mommy?" instead of "sounds good mommy?" Example: Kenzie-Mommy I put my toys here instead of there, that feel good mommy??"

*In the past few weeks loves to color, esp. with markers!

*For the past month or so she has been talking about her birthday non stop! When she sees something she would like she will always say "maybe for my birthday". The other day we were passing a construction site and she saw a huge cement mixer truck and she goes "mommy look at that....maybe I like that for my birthday!" hehe :)

Happy 3rd Birthday Sweet Girl!! We love you soooo much!! We can't wait to see what this year has in store for you! :)

Summer Fun....

Here are some pictures from the past few weeks! Last week Jeff & I took Kenzie and Abbie to the lake...they had a great time and didn't fight at all (which is huge since they have been fighting non stop lately!!).
Abuela gave Kenzie an early birthday present and she's been lovin it!! :)

Not sure why she had the pink Dora gloves on! She ran to her toy box before going outside to grab them....after she put them on she said "I have gloves like Uncle Greg" so apparently Uncle Greg wears pink Dora gloves! :)

Last weekend Jeff & I went down to NJ for my freshmen year quadmate's wedding!! We had a great time!! Jeff still doesn't have his voice back from surgery so he either sat in silence or I had to speak for him! :) I said he should of brought a chalkboard to communicate with people! hehehe :)
Hope everyone is having a great summer! :)

4th of July

Happy (belated) 4th of July! We had a great day at my uncle's house in Syracuse! July 4th is definitely one of my favorite holidays! We had so much fun spending time with family, eating very yummy food, swimming and playing corn hole...

We tried to include Levi in the picture but didn't turn out well....

Kenzie playing corn hole...I wish these pictures weren't so dark!
