Funny Girls

Today I was helping Kenna wrap her doll up in her blanket. She accidentally dropped her doll, and she looked up at me and said "Oh my goodness!" I have no idea where she got that phrase- and I had a hard time not to laugh. She says the funniest things and at the most random times.

IT'S CLICKED!!!

Kenna is potty trained! We are so excited. She tells me every time and is doing really well. She still wears a diaper for her nap and at night- but we have made progress.

What we have been up to...

We adopted a sloth bear at the zoo- and for doing that we could put whatever name we wanted on a plaque on the adoption board.

Smiling at the zoo.

Showing me their new shoes- they match!

Bubble Time!

Our Vacation

Last Wednesday, we drove down to Logan, Utah. We spent some time with my sisters. Thursday morning we drove down to Salt Lake and went to the Hogle Zoo. Kenna has been saying that she was going to ride a giraffe.- She got to- but it was on the carousal. When we were finished looking at everything at the zoo, we drove to Orem and let our girls play with their cousins for a few hours. Thursday night we went drove to Burley and stayed with my parents. Friday morning we went to the fair. We met Mindy there- and she walked around with us while we showed our girls the animals. That night we went to the rodeo with my dad, and Diane and Alan came a little bit latter. Kenna loved watching all the events. Kylie was bored with the whole thing and then was getting tired- so she just moved from person to person and went for a couple of walks. On Saturday the girls helped dig up carrots, potatoes, picked some cucumbers and corn out of my mom's garden. Kenna was a lot of help- and she wouldn't let anyone touch her "stuff".

Bumps and Bruises

Yesterday, while visiting a friend and her dog, Kenna got knocked down. She now has a little bump and scrap her chin. It is not first, nor will be the last, of her bumps and bruises. Today Kylie and Kenna were playing - more rough housing than playing - and Kylie hit her head against the bottom of a table in our living room. It was really big bump with lots of crying. I got ice on it immediately and most of the swelling has gone down. And again for Kylie- its not the first, nor will be the last.

A closer look.

I know that kids get bumps and bruises all the time- it just seems like my girls are really good at getting them right now.

Just some pictures

The girls digging in the front. Once they have started- it is really hard to get their shovel/broom away from them.

Warren and the girls dipping oreos into milk.- Yes, it was a huge mess!

I have been riding my bike almost every night and just loving it. Kenna is still working on the potty-training, some days are better than others. When we are home, she tells me when she has to go- when we are not home- let just say it is best to have a diaper or pull-up on her.

My mom came for a visit yesterday and we went to the zoo. Warren and I got a trip to the Temple in, and today we visited, shopped and ate lunch before mom had to go. I didn't pull out the camera- so I don't have any pictures of her visit. :(
