We went to our ward breakfast with

Santa this morning and Santa was a Success, compared to Mr. Grinch anyway. Like Mr. Grinch she nodded her head to go see him and I was thinking oh boy as soon as we are a foot away we are going to have another crocodile tear incident. Not this time. Soon as we got up to Santa she smiled and kinda giggled. This Santa must of had the twinkle in his eye.

Mr. Grinch!

Com' on can you blame her being scared of this big green who monster.

At Ryan's work Christmas Party the boss man dress up like the Grinch. It was their theme of the night. Whoville!

The funny part was she actually was excited when he came in the room, she kept staring at him and mumbling words that I cant understand. And all the kids went up to see him half crying like her and the others laughing. So I said do you want to go see him. She nods her head Yes so Ryan walks up there with her with a smile on her face and as soon as they were a foot away she forms huge crocodile tears and started bawling. But soon as they walked away she stopped and was fine as long as she was not a foot away. I kept telling her he was like a Big Green dog. She didn't buy it, Kynlee thinking (Duh mom I'm not buying it I'm almost 2 now I know the difference between a dog and this green monster) Every time I asked her if she wanted to see him she said a very sweet no.

my little snow bunny...

this girl loves to eat the snow like her mommy.



Kynlee's cousins just love Kynlee and she LoVes them too. Makayla is so cute with her. She will pick her up like she is her little doll and Kynlee loves it.

My advent calender that my Sister and I have been working on since before Thanksgiving and still not done. We have four more ornaments and we just cant seem to finish.

so precious

Kynlee and I were doing our thing upstairs and she went into her room and shut the door. I didnt really think about it, but when I went to go see what she was up to I open the door to this. My heart just melted because this will probably never happen again.

Kynlee's new favorite words.

No. Mine. and hides whatever toy or thing around her back. It really drives me crazy I just keep telling myself she will get over it. (um...hopefully)
She will name all the characters on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Her Favorite one to say Donald. she'll randomly say Donald through out the day. And ruff ruff for Pluto and Mineee. (which is either Mickey or Minnie) cant quite make that one out. I think Minnie but whenever either are on she says the same thing.
She'll come and tickle Ryan and I and say ha ha so funny. or just be laughing at her toys and tell them so funny.
and she can count to Two. (I'm so proud) she'll start un. dwo. and Ill keep helping her and shell say dwo dwo dwo then ine (for nine)
She is very feisty but gives the best hugs ever. and now puckers her lips for kisses. (not so slobbery) and a lot of attention frustrates her. and when she gets frustrated she has a scream on her.
I sure do love this girl.

Introducing Pebbles Flinstone. For heaven sake this girl would not look at the camera for the life of me. gees girl just one picture that all I wanted. Whatever she still made a very cute pebbles. And don't dis the pink crayon come on people he still looks handsome in pink. Ok so we are to cheap to buy $30 dollar costumes each so we borrowed from my mom and the M&M was a little to small for Ryan. Your probably wondering why did you dress up then. Well the cruise line had a Halloween party cause we were gone during Halloween so that's why.

After are trip Ryan was due for surgery on his knee. He came across some crazy guy who landed on his knee during basketball (I call him crazy cause now we had to deal with an injury when really he was playing just a game) and he tore his Meniscus (some cartilage that wraps around your knee) he tore both sides and developed a cyst as well. the only way to make the pain go away is surgery, Yes we waited 6 months for that thing to heal and all it did was leave him with pain and whole time.

why does my husband think he is so cool on a scooter....are you kidding me how could you not feel cool riding 30 miles an hour down key west, Florida's roads. we had a riot. we also stopped in Cozumel, Mexico. probably the most beautiful water I have ever seen, clear as can be. it was a great way to spend time together after a long summer. we didn't end up that white at the end we did get just a little bit of a tan. Please that was the beginning of the trip.

Nothing better than waking up to hair like this! and no I did not put in a bow for this picture. We went to go eat breakfast she saw this bow on the table and says Bow. I sat there thinking what is she talking about. I look around and found what she was talking about and she insisted in putting it in her hair.

Ryan gave us this giant teddy bear for valentines day and now that were home Kynlee loves it. she says GO and books it to this teddy and jumps on him. She also tries to carry him but that doesn't work since its bigger than her. So she grunts as she tries to pick it up begging us to help her. I had pics of her jumping on him but the comp wouldn't download them. (does anyone else have this problem)

getting a little crafty. Yes that wreath took me 6 hours to make in between a crying, hungry and everything I want child. But in the end it was worth it.

neglect...

How can you not neglect a ridiculously full diaper when a cute tuss is hanging out like that. Did you notice the shoes. She found them that morning (of course I'm blaming Ryan for not hiding them) I didn't feel like a melt down when we were trying to get ready for church so that's right we went to church with a cute dress in these shoes.

Here we come.....

Seattle we had a great time but its just time to head home. Just one more week and we get to see the beautiful mountains again. Dont get me wrong, Seattle is one green, rainy and very beautiful state with lots to do but there is nothing like home.

But boy they have so many I mean so many spiders for my kind. Maybe they know that Halloween is around the corner who knows but it doesnt mean they should be near me. They are just creeping there business right around our apt. door and in the corners and on the stairs we walk up everday with huge webs with HuGe mosquitos as well (which I think are mating..Yikes no more). I am sure not going to miss that. They also have a tone of blackberry plants everywhere you go I want to eat them and im sure they are fine not poisoness but you just cant be to safe you never know if you eat one and you stop breathing. Well I just need to enjoy you Seattle for one more week. Will do!

I say Airplane and she points to the sky...

she has never done this before, trying to take off her shirts.

This is her having a tissy fit about it and right after content with the arm out.

I cant help how much I lOvE this picture!

There is this popcorn machine in the office (I think thats what they would call it) of the apartments and anytime we are there which is every once in awhile to take a stroll she mumbles some gibberish which is of course saying, yummy stuff that I love with butter and salt and runs over to the machine and insists a bag of popcorn. That girl does know what she likes and doesn't like no tricking her anymore.

There is a love/hate relationship with these shoes. Kynlee LOVE Mommy HATE well Grandma bought them for her to play in which was great I thought perfect for swimming and the park. until she wants to wear them all the time. I have to hide them from her so she doesn't want to wear them all the time. Thanks for the gift mom no really we like them.

Kynlee made a new friend at the park. This girl came up and started to play with kyn and she was just having a blast with her. Is that sad I didn't even get her name.

she has now discovered her nose not any treasures yet...sure can't wait for those.

we are here in Washington to finish off the summer and it is absolutely beautiful here. they have pretty lakes and waterfalls, and while we were here we hit up the beach. Kynlee loved the sand I sure didn't after the fact, still finding it in her cute little fat rolls. isn't that tree awesome?

Is it true that it hurts their eyes watching TV to close? cause she does it every time.

My mom made this adorable little purse for Kynlee. She sure is a perfectionist sewer, something I did not get from her, but when she is done it always turns out practically perfect. Thanks mom for your talent Kynlee is going to love it.

Happy 4th of July! Does anyone remember this game? Where you toss water balloons with towels? I love bringing back old games you have not played for such a long time. It was so funny to watch the other partner drag the other partner..."the man" just to catch the water balloon and we ripped about three towels but we had a blast.

she is just zonked. she loves that teddy bear. she grabs it everytime her nap is over or when she wakes up in the morning and calls it her Tedd..EE with a very High pitch EE.

no need to buy toys i guess, just keeping herself intertained with a bottle of water. One time I did use her and asked her to go get me my water. She went and got that water bottle and smiled the whole way to give it to me, I think she felt really proud, but really I was the one really proud of her I thought for sure she wouldnt really get it. which the next time I asked she kept giving me everything else but the water bottle. Im still proud of her though:)
