Funny Girl

For about the last week Kenlee has really started to copy what we do. When she does something good or funny we all tend to clap for her, now she claps with us. Sometimes when she thinks she has done something worth clapping for she will clap for herself and look around at everyone wondering why they are not clapping too. One of the funny things she has started to do is put her hands on her head when we look at her and say "OH NO". She laughs so hard after she does it. I finally caught a little on camera, she didn't do both hands but the face she made was priceless!

Wow the Mess!

Sunday afternoon while we were over at my parents house for dinner, we all were talking in the kitchen while we got dinner ready. My mom opened the cupboard to get the grill out to make hash browns. Kenlee crawled over to the gallon bottle of oil and before anyone of us noticed she had spilled 1/2 of it on the ground and was playing in it. The lid on the oil must have not been twisted on so she just popped it off.

She was so covered in oil that she was glossy. It was all over her hands, arms and legs.

She couldn't understand why we were all laughing and trying to figure out the best way to take care of her.

When we tried to pick her up to put her in the bath tub we realized she was dripping alot of oil so we decided to put her bottom half in a walmart bag and then hurried her into the bathroom. She was so confused.

Oh I love my little girl. I am just glad that I could calmly laugh about it and then take some pictures. I have always wanted to be a calm parent and each time she does something I just try to remind myself of that. She is so cute.

Lagoon Day!

Every few years my dad's company has a party at Lagoon and invites the families. This year is was on the 10th of July. We all went down, even Blake happened to have work off and got to go. We got there right after the park opened. We split up at first, those of us that love big roller coasters and those that wanted to just do little fun rides. My dad, Tiffany, Karlee and I went for the roller coasters. Brady joined us for a few and then meet up with Blake, Kenlee, Nathan and my mom. We ran from line to line till we had done what we wanted and then meet up with the group. They were at the bumper cars (that is the only thing Nathan could talk about doing).

Blake loved them! It was hilarious to watch him! After I had watched him ride the bumper cars, they talked me into doing it too. It was a lot of fun.

Kenlee was just chilling in the stroller so we decided to go find something that she could ride. While we had been split up, they had been standing near the carousel while Blake visited with Lancasters, Kenlee freaked out, she wanted to ride on them so bad. So we decided to take her on them.

Blake took her on so that I could take pictures. She was so excited and while they were waiting for it to go she kept rocking back and forth, trying to make it move.

After we had eaten lunch we decided to hit a few more roller coasters. I had Blake watch me ride one of them called "The Bat" and take pictures.

This was a whole new experience for me. I had never rode on one that had your feet hanging down like you were flying around on a chair. I loved it!

After the roller coasters we took Kenlee on the train ride to see all the animals. Unfortunately my camera battery died right before the ride. She had a great time and loved seeing the animals. We had a great Saturday at Lagoon with the family. We even got Blake to try "Rattle Snake Rapids" ride with us and I think he even liked it.

4th of July

We spent the 4th of July with Mitch. We went up to Daines that afternoon to hang out with Mitch. First we played horse shoes. Kenlee loved helping Blake and Mitch play.Then we decided to grill some hamburgers to eat for lunch. Mitch made the burgers and they tasted so good. Then we all played soccer outside. Blake helped Kenlee play for a while, she laughed the whole time. Then the three of us played while Kenlee watched. I made the mistake of putting my cherry Dr. Pepper down next to her. She decided to try and drink it, it went all over her white outfit. She really liked it.

They are so cute!

It was such a great afternoon!

4th of July (2)

That night we did our own fireworks. Blake and Mitch had so much fun, it was hilarious to watch! They would combine crackling bombs and flowers to make special firework displays.



Kenlee was not ok with all the noise. Mitch checked on her and made sure she knew that the boys were ok.









We had such a great 4th of July weekend!

Paris Parade and BBQ with Family

July 3rd we all headed up to Idaho to celebrate the 4th. Our first event was the Paris Parade, we lined up on the side of the road and watched. This was Kenlee's first parade and she loved it. She got two otter pops, a sucker (which she loved) and a sports blow up tube. She also caught a taffy and I let her play with it thinking she couldn't get into it but I looked back down and she had chewed it open. The parade was so fun!

After the parade we all headed back to my Grandpa and Aunt's house to have a big family BBQ. When we were all done eating the kids all played outside. The older kids went and played out in the ditch and caught snails. Kenlee played with two of her cousins, Bentley and Nyah. They had a great time jumping on the tramp together.

Kenlee's hair got so crazy!

What a great day with all our family!

Logan Fireworks

On July 2nd some of my family got together to go watch the Logan Fireworks. We went to a big grass lot that is owned by a member in my parents ward. It was close to the arena but not crowded because it was only the people they invited. It was a great place to watch. We all ate, watched the kids play and waited for the fireworks to start. The fireworks were so fun. These were Kenlee's first fireworks, she really enjoyed watching all the pretty colors.

Karlee and Kenlee watched the fireworks together.

We wish Blake could have been there but he had to work. We love you Daddy!
