14 months

Where do we begin? Lots has happened since the last post..... :)
First of all... it got a little bit like fall outside. In the meantime, we had no clothes, and had a fun saturday with Grandma up here picking out some long sleeved clothes!! (Thanks again!!!) we had a wonderful convention.. even tho Kenzie is a bit challenging to keep quiet and sitting still in mtg. :)
Here is Kenzies lil buddie Brennen... 16 months older then she is and her partner in crime.

Here is my one pic from convention... guess we were a bit preoccupied. :)

This is why my cupboards arent always organized..

Reading a book....

Her new fav thing.... her monkey. We dont leave her crib without it. (and her blkt)

Being food is in both hands, shes gotten good at just getting her drink with her mouth. :)

Sitting in her toy bin.

and using it in ways she shouldnt be...

Here is kenzies perch... 30w3d

Tired girl...

cool chick

Kenzie started climbing the ladder daddy was using in the garage... no fear. (dont worry.. daddy is close behind making sure she doesnt fall) :) I just dug out a pic of me climbing a ladder close to this age with my daddy making sure i didnt fall either. :)

What mom??

I took the screws... and she wanted them back.

Daddys helper. (a girl after Papas heart? :) )

Using the hammer, as she just saw dad do.

HELLO in there?! :)

Shes gotten good at getting her foot in our shoes.. its quite hilarious seeing her walk in them. :)

Shes growing up like crazy... a very chatty, happy lil peanut. We love her lots!

13 months...

Keeping busy and realized its been a while since ive posted.. (sorry shelley) :) We've been enjoying lots of sunny days and now beautiful weather! We are on the up and up again after being sick and back to happy girl. Kenzie is learning new things every day! She now says "Uh oh" (sounds more like uh uh) Looks for dada when hes supposed to be coming home at the window... shakes her head no when she doesnt want something or knows shes not supposed to do something... Says "More" (mooue). And lots more. :) We enjoyed corn from Uncle Tim and Auntie Jay for the first time!

She enjoye it!! (These pics are for you Aunt Lisa!)

A little sticky.... :)

Loves when daddy gives her a ride..

Added the play table along for the ride.

We enjoyed a family night out for the Labor day holiday... Had a ton of fun at a hotel/waterpark. Kenzie liked climbing into the table next to the bed. :)

Not sure what to think about it to begin with...

Exploring...

This is kinda cool Dad...

Down the slide..

Way fun Mom!! :)

Helping herself to grapes.

Any cup she finds she thinks she needs to fill it with water. With a little help of course.

CHEESE. :)

Thankful....

Today I have a renewed thankfulness for my life and those close to me. Im thankful for my husband, who is the most amazing man I know. He loves me for who I am and works his butt off so I can stay home with Makenzie. He works thru things with me, and is a great husband to me and father to our child(ren). :) Id be lost without him... he really does complete me. Im thankful for my sisters and friends who stand beside me thru thick and thin, and parents I can always rely on. Im thankful for my precious little girl, who is comforting in ways she doesnt even know she is. She makes me smile and I love her with all my heart. Im thankful for a heavenly father who I know I can always count on.......  I want to be more thankful for these things daily, but Im also thankful for the circumstances that make me more thankful for them!!!!!
We got Makenzies one year pictures and here are a few.... shes already grown so much since then!!
