First Ice Cream Cone

Who doesn't love ice cream cones, seriously!!!

Splash Pad

What a better Saturday activity than to run amuck at a splash pad??!!!! We went with Lauren, Kaden and met her friend Liz and her two kids over in Tempe. The splash pad was fun. Kenz loved it for about the first 45 min, then the last 45 min she just wanted to be attached to me - in true Kenzie Sue fashion. Anybody know a cure for pure "mommy-itis?" I love these pictures b/c it really shows how big she is getting.

Today - I got to take a shower with my mom and she let me stay in for an extra 20 minutes after she got out!!!! I love to play in the shower.

And the jury says....

It's a GIRL!!!!

Baby girl number two is well on her way. We are very excited to bring more pink, more tutu's, more dolls, more drama, more painted fingers and toes into our house. Sorry Matt - you are WAY out numbered now. Just make sure the trophey truck is pink! More importantly, however, I am at peace to know we have a HEALTHY girl growing. Grow baby grow!!!

While the Mom is Away....the Dad draws

So, we were down to our last diaper. No good. I went to Target to get diapers, and regain my sanity from the long afternoon. Then, I came home to this...

A cute little kitten....AND...

A ferocious monkey. She is not crying in this picture, but is rather giving you her new "pretty" smile. So, I turned right around to go get ice cream. Pregnant women LOVE ice cream and I came home to this...

Reading her favorite book by Richard Scarry, The Buggy Book, or "Cars, Trucks and Things That Go." It is the best book ever. There is a little yellow bug hidden on every page. I am amazed at how fast Kenz finds it.

A birthday present for mom and dad

Makenzie decided she wanted to give us a present for her birthday and started climbing out of her crib. We are talking 10 times in an hour people. We decided it was time for a big girl bed. The sheets and quilt were bought...and our first night was last night!!!

You want to know how it went - AMAZING. I thought for sure we were going to be up all night with her coming in and out of her room. To our surprise, she did for about 40 min then all was quiet. She actually fell asleep in front of her door. I had to wake her up this morning at 8:30!!!! What a good girl. I think she got up sometime in the night as one of her blankets was by the door, but she never came out and never cried. Somehow, she made it back to her bed.

First nap this afternoon in big girl bed - alot like last night. She came in and out for about 40 min. It was so cute, "mom a song," "momma sit, momma sit." Fell asleep in bed this time.

Night #2 - came out once!!!!! All is quiet right now. I have not checked on her so I don't know where she fell asleep :) I am so grateful this has not been as hard as I had thought or had nightmares about. Good thing too b/c momma is not feeling all too well these days :)

Makenzie Sue turns 2!!!

This is a little late coming, but Makenzie turned two on the 20th. I can't believe she is two!!!! She brings energy, life, happiness and lots of drama to our lives. She is talking up a storm. She loves to say, "it's dark in here" "a dada's car" for every white car, among lots of others. We love her so much.
