Hide-n-Seek

Kenna has recently gotten into playing hide-n-seek...well, kinda! She loves to cover herself up and then pop her head up every now and then to make sure that we are still looking for her. I kept trying to take her picture when she was completely covered because you could still see her feet sticking out, but she always looked out right when I snapped the picture.

We have so much fun with this precious little one!

Happy Halloween!

Kenna had a blast last night, getting to dress up like a monkey again. She doesn't really understand the concept of Trick or Treating, so we dressed her up to pass out candy to people who came knocking on our door. She thought that was so much fun! Several people that we didn't know made 'he' comments at Trunk or Treat last weekend so we decided to add a bow to her outfit! She loved giving all the kiddos the candy that came out of her basket. Even after they walked off to go to another house, she would stand at the door holding out candy.

In between visitors, she would take her hood off and run around playing, but as soon as the doorbell rang, she would take off running toward the front door yelling "canny, canny, canny." It was so cute!

My two favorite comments of the evening came from some 8-10 year old trick or treaters. One ran off yelling to his mother - "There's a little monkey giving out candy!". The second was very impressed with our candy choices - "You are good people. Y'all give out real candy."

Glad to know that we are good people!

Hope everyone had a fun, safe Halloween!

Big Sister Kenna

That's right...Kenna is going to be a big sister!!

Baby #2 is officially due June 2nd, but will probably make his/her appearence sometime around the end of May.

We are SUPER excited and can't wait for the new little one's arrival!!

Monkey Time

Miss K has recently developed a fascination with monkeys. Her favorite song to listen to in the car is "Five Little Monkeys" and she loves to use her little plate that has monkey faces and bananas on it...so for Halloween we were sure she needed to be a monkey....or in her words "monney, ooo, ooo" (she always makes the little monkey noise after she says it).



We got to get all dressed up on Sunday night for Trunk or Treat at church and Kenna had a BLAST! She loved her costume and held on to her banana basket all the way to the church building. She also liked the banana in her pocket! I loved the back of her outfit...but I really loved the picture of her walking by her daddy!!

Kenna has not had much candy in her young life, but that all changed on Sunday! At one of the first few cars we stopped at, she found a bubble gum dum-dum and fell in love! She wouldn't even move as long as she had the dum-dum in her mouth....

Of course, after that, she just wanted more and more. The funniest part was that she kept getting mad at us for taking the candy away from her to take the wrappers off before she put it in her mouth...she wanted to eat it paper and all!

We did pose for a photo op with JD the train conductor...quite a change from this time last year!

Thanks to all the people who helped plan this great event...we had fun!!

Random Pictures

Kenna and I spent a great day together at home (for the most part...we ran a few errands). We had a lot of fun playing - both indoors and out! It was a beautiful day!!

Kenna must have decided that she needed a chair to sit and play with her table...she doesn't really fit inside the Bumbo any longer but she still loves to play with it! When I was cleaning up after she went to bed just a few minutes ago, I found her milk balanced on a block...that's talent, I tell ya! :)

Hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful fall day!!

Shades

Daniel, Kenna, and I were running some errands on Friday afternoon. Kenna has always been a talker, but the last three days have taken it to a new level. :) I looked back to see what she was saying and found her telling us something (who knows what) with her glasses on her head. She plays with her sunglasses all the time, but never actually wears them correctly...looks like she figured it out! She eventually took her shoes off, pulled her pants legs up, and propped one foot up on the door...missed that picture. I have put my camera back in my purse so I will hopefully do better about taking pictures of Miss K.

Books and Toilet Paper Rolls

Kenna has always loved to look through books, but she has now found a favorite. She loves to sit in "her" rocker and look at one of Daniel's books - something about construction and fire fighting I think. It doesn't even have that great of pictures to look at, but she keeps crawling up into her rocker and grabbing that book!

A little side note: she has decided that this is her rock-rock. If anybody else sits in it (it is in our study) then she will try to push you out so that she can climb in...and don't even think about trying to hold her while you sit in it...it's her chair! :)

Miss K has also discovered the joy of empty paper towel rolls. Of course, she has still as small, toddler hands and apparently the empty roll makes a great addition to her arm!

She loves to walk around the house like this...too funny!

I guess she was in the mood to show off the other night...all of these pictures were taken after her bath and right before bed on Sunday. She was a wound up little girl!
