Carving Pumpkins

Tonight we carved pumpkins at my parents house. This year was the first year that Kenlee could really be involved so I was really excited. I wasn't sure she would really like the feeling of the slimy pumpkin guts but .....

She wasn't sure at first what was going on, I tried to get her to put her hand in the pumpkin and she wasn't sure why mom would be sticking her hand in a weird object. So I pulled some of the guts out of the pumpkin and handed it to her.

After that she loved it! She helped dad gut her pumpkin out and put it in the bucket. The funniest thing was that she keep licking her hand and I thought she would stop because it would taste gross but she liked it.

She entertained herself playing the bucket of stuff for a long time. She would pick guts up and tease Karlee by waving it in her face. Then she discovered the spoon and started flicking stuff everywhere. Thats when she got to go take a bath while we finished carving.

This year Blake carved a spider, Kenlee's is a ghost and mine was a bat with the year on the bottom.

All of us with our cute pumpkins!

Fall Drive

Today we went on a drive up Smithfield Canyon to see all the beautiful leafs changing color for fall. I always remember going leaf hunting with my family in the fall and wanted to start that tradition with my family. When we got to the top of the Canyon we got Kenlee out of the car and showed her all the pretty leaves on the ground. She loved it!

She ran up and down the road picking up leafs.

Blake threw leafs in the air to fall around her, she thought it was so funny.

She loved to pick them up and show me.

She is so cute!!!!

Near the end of our trip she decided to pick up little rocks and hand them to daddy. He would throw them in the river and she would watch for a while then pick up more rocks for him to throw in.

We had a great family outing and I love watching Kenlee's curious adventures and discovery's. I love my cute little family!

The Wheels on the Bus

Kenlee has always danced at music, she loves music. She will push a button on a toy just so she can dance to the music. On Sunday evening I got a bus out of one of my moms games for her, she danced to the music again and again!

Fun Pictures

I had a few cute but random pictures on my camera that wouldn't take a full post so I decided just to group them all together.

Kenlee discovered the blanket cupboard at Grandma and Grandpa Daines house. She loved crawling in and out of the blankets. Silly girl!

Marching Band Parents Night

Yesterday we attended Sky View and Moutain Crests Marching Band Parents Night. This year Karlee and Brady are marching in the band so it was a new treat to try and spot two people that look like everyone else. Brady is a freshman and Karlee is a senior this year. Karlee gets to play a duet with a friend of hers. It sounds amazing!

There show has influences from Japan. They have these really cool drums that the percussion director and his son made for an eagle scout project. They turned out way cool. This was my favorite part with them.

I am so excited for the band this year, they have an amazing show. Good luck Karlee and Brady, I know you will do awesome. Love you guys!

Play Ball!

Kenlee found a little soccor ball in the toy closet at my parents house and brought it out to show everyone. She started throwing it and Brady would go and get it. She finally picked up on the idea of throwing it to Brady and they played catch. She thought that it was hilarious.

Kenlee is ONE!

Kenlee turned one on August 26th! The year went by so fast! She has grown and changed so much over the last year. When she was born she was 9 pounds 1 ounce and 21.5 inches long. Now she is 21 pounds and 30.5 inches long.

For her birthday party we decided to do a big BBQ with all our family in my parents backyard. Just about everyone was able to come.

She did pretty good at opening her presents and loved the attention.

We did a Prince and the Frog themed birthday party for her because she loves that movie. There for I made her frog cupcakes for her cake this year.

She loved her cake! She ate the frosting very fast and then went for the cake.
