Bringing a little ALOHA

We've been hoping for the last year that maybe one day Auntie Kristy would come and visit from Hawaii! And she did!!! Unfortunately I couldn't take time off of work to play with her during the week but we made up for it at night and over the weekend. We made delicious dinners together and got caught up on some much needed girly time. I am so grateful to see my friend again and just wish that she could be here always. Kristy and Kenz got their girly time too... they went to the pumpkin patch, played in a furniture store and started a wonderful friendship together. Hurry back Kristy!!

Spoiled!!

Our little Kenz is very spoiled by family and friends... little gifts arrive in the mail frequently but some are hand delivered! Ceecee brought a "hard hat" from Poppa and just a few days later a package from Grand Aunties Mary and Kathy!! She got her first set of Micky Mouse ears with special lights and princess, duh, tiara. She also got a fun ABC book of doggies, one of Kenz's favorite subjects! Lucky and spoiled!!

CeeCee Time!

CeeCee came to visit us again! Even though Kenz was a little under the weather, she had a great time with CeeCee. She has already figured out that if she doesn't get what she wants from Mom and Dad, she should ask Grandma! When crying out for us in the middle of the night she realized that mommy and daddy weren't come to save her so she called for CeeCee! Thank goodness for grandmas! We loved having her visit and so grateful for our time with CeeCee! Although Poppa couldn't come he did send a sweet story/note and a personalized hard hat for Mackenzie! Next time Poppa has to come too!

3 Years Later

Almost 3 years ago I bought a jersey to surprise Blake with when we got pregnant. 9 months later I could finally give him the jersey and today, 2+ years later Mackenzie finally put her jersey on for our first Seahawks game day! Thankfully we got to celebrate a win! GO HAWKS!

Freeman's and Tobin's

My dad has come into town for his annual football trip and has brought along Marissa for her first year attending UW! We dropped her off at the dorms today to headed straight over to Lila and Joe's for breakfast were we got to see half of the Tobin crew (cousins of my grandparents). Although we missed the other girls Lila, Goldie and Joe were wonderful company and made a delicious spread of goodies for us!! Lila brought out her sheep collection for Mackenzie to play with and captured a few precious moments for us.

Oops!

While sitting on our bed with us early this morning, Mackenzie was listening to our conversation when Blake says, "that's bull sh*t". To which Kenz turned and looked at him and said "bull sh*t". My mouth was on the floor and my eyes bugging out, I couldn't help but chuckle. My sweet little angel said her first swear word! Oh dear.

Endless Summer... don't we wish!

We ended our summer with a final trip to Crescent Bar and had a BLAST! Kenz filled her days with playing in the sand, napping on the beach, jet skiing, boating and soaking up the sun! We went with the newlyweds Amy and Coulter and the Lanham family, Matt, Jenn, Dylan and friend Trey. As we did last year, we posed Kenz in the sand to commemorate the fun except this year there was no face plant into the sand!
