Summer Fun!

I have been such a bad blogger this summer!! Maybe we have been having so much fun that I've been forgetting to blog!?!?! Or maybe I was busy planning a wedding!?!?! (Pics coming soon btw!!) Or maybe I'm just thinking of excuses?!?! :) We've been busy having some summer fun lately....which means nothing crazy just some slip 'n slide action, sonic soda/slushie runs, riding bikes, playing outside.....

This past weekend Jeff, Kenzie & I went to Long Island to celebrate our wedding with his friends! Since we had such a tiny wedding his best man planned a bbq for all his friends to come and celebrate..it was great! I will post some pics soon! :)

Here is what we've been up to....

Having fun on the slip 'n slide.....

Having a peanut party....

(all 4 girls sat on at the table for about an hour just cracking and eating the peanuts....obviously we don't have any peanut allergies in our family!)

We've spent our rainy days either inside coloring....

or lining up our princesses and then adding the biggest princess (Kenzie) to the line! :)

Miss M has spent a lot of time in this particular dress...I think this dress might go in Summer 2011's Hall of Fame! :) She loves it...and so do her cousins (they all have one too, in different colors). Dressing kids can be so cheap....$5 for this dress @ Walmart! :)

(on this day she added a little touch....2 bows! :)

On this rainy day we had to pull out the bean tub!

But of course, all this fun makes us thirsty....we've spent a lot of time slurping on slushies...

And with all this fun we get super tired! :)

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! :)
