Funny Things My Kids Say

While looking at old pictures today I came across some pictures from high school. Kensley saw a prom picture of me in my dress (which happened to be white) and said, "Oh mom! You looked so beautiful at your second wedding!" WHAT?! haha

First Dance Class

Yesterday was Kensley's first dance class and someone was just a little excited about it.

(I posted this picture on Facebook last night and nearly everyone thought she was naked. Note to self: get different colored leotards...)

I had this grand plan to take a ton of adorable pictures and to videotape some of it for Daddy since he was at work. But then life happens. Rowan is teething and wants to be held constantly. I couldn't put him down the entire time we were there which made any picture taking or recording difficult. Hopefully next week.

What I can say is that she had a blast. She walked in and made friends instantly. She listened to the teacher and followed instructions well. She hopped, jumped, touched her toes and danced. She hugged her teacher goodbye and asked about coming back tomorrow.

It was a huge success :)

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday was nice and warm so we packed up the kids and drove out to the pumpkin patch! This is the same pumpkin patch we visited last year. We had such a good time that we just knew we would be back!

Kensley still really enjoyed the train ride around the farm.

Rowan loved watching her ride and waived  at her as she passed.

The corn filled sandbox was a big hit with both of them

Kensley went all the way through the maze this time!

She also loved all of the animals

They had a cute little town set up too.

My girl is getting so big...

Our perfect pumpkin!

Our Little Monkeys

Kensley- Halloween 2009

Rowan- Halloween 2011

Boo @ The Zoo

Today we went to Boo at the Zoo. This was Kensley's 3rd trip and by far this was the most fun she had but also the most fun we had with her. She has been so excited for Halloween this year. She decided that she wanted to be a bumble bee early on and wouldn't be swayed into anything else. She has been walking around our house talking about going "trick-or-treating" almost nonstop. So she was very excited to be able to trick-or-treat, but also to get to go to the "zoop."

Here she is right at the beginning of the zoo in the penguin exhibit.

Rowan was not thrilled with having to sit in the stroller for most of the zoo.

Waiting in line for candy.

She yelled, "Look Mommy! He's SCARY!" haha

She was so very excited...

And let's not forget my sweet little monkey

Boo at the zoo is such a nice, safe way for kids to trick-or-treat all while getting to walk the zoo and see animals. We love it and can't wait to go again next year!

Roasting Hot Dogs and Marshmallows

Since this will probably be one of the last nice weekends of the year, my grandparents had us down for a bonfire. Kensley ended up having a blast as my grandpa pulled her around the yard by his lawn mower.

Rowan got to ride too, and he waived at everyone as he passed. It was so cute.

I remember being obsessed with bonfires when I was a little kid. I loved cooking my own food and at night getting our sticks to glow and then waiving them around in the air to make patterns. Kensley seems to be just like me. She LOVED cooking her food.

Ro had a good time getting spoiled by gramma

Looks like we need to work on our marshmallow roasting skills!

My Beautiful Babies

 

Just a few pics of my babies from playgroup today.

Lunch Time!

Since I work in the evenings and am not always home for dinner, lunch is one of my favorite parts of the day. I try to make the kids lunch and then sit down and eat my own lunch with them at the same time. Just a time to sit down, eat and enjoy each other. Love these two so much!

Funny Things My Kids Say

Kensley walked into my room this morning and said, "Wake up mom. We need to go to the store and get more broccoli."

Happy Half Birthday Kensley!

Our little (or not so little anymore *tear*) girl turned three-and-a-half today!

Since half birthday are a big deal we celebrated by going to Chuck. E. Cheese!

Rowan had a good time too ;)

"Don't tell me how to drive!"

I just can't believe how fast the time goes once your child is born...taking time out to celebrate their life is so important!
