Can you say WOW!! What a weekend..Mom and Dad took me camping and let me tell you…it was an experience that I will never forget…

First…I did get to see where my great grandpa Ben was buried…Dad seemed really happy when he told his grandpa about me…

I also got to spend the night at my Grandma Lisa’s house…when I woke up at 5 am she woke up with me and fed me…that was nice…

Then we had a super long trip in the van to this place called Sun Lakes…though I think the first day the place should of been called “Wind Lakes” it was blowing so hard…the first night in the tent it must of been blowing 90mph, I slept really good…Dad enjoyed the strong wind…but Mom was a little nervous…so I pretended to be fussy…then mom took me and put me on her stomach so I could comfort and reassure her..us babies are pretty tricky…

The next day…we went down to the lake…and I got to watch dad ride the Jet Ski…there were lots of people there to fawn over me…”Gramma Mayo” she held me alot…I heard her daughters tell my Grandma Lisa that they wanted a baby now…Something tells me that it wasn’t the right thing to say…

That night Dad took Mom and I up to this place called Grand Coulee Dam…they had something called a laser light show…the only show I saw was the sight and sounds of deep sleep.

Now comes the funny? part…after we returned to the campgrounds…about 1130 pm we went to sleep immediately…then not even two hours later it happened. FIRE!! EVACUATE!! Can someone please tell me why people were screaming right in the middle of my dreaming of this place called a shopping mall…Dad did you do this on purpose? Anyway, apparently there was a wildfire very close to where we were camping…so Dad told mom to get me and get in the van while he saved all my pretty clothes and my baby pictures…and luckily my red toy that I love so much…what a hero my dad is…

Well we left the campground and drove up on the hill to watch the fire burn and the firefighters get it under control…it wasn’t until about 430 that we were able to go back and see if our site was ok….luckily the wind blew the fire away from our site…but still…it was close…
Perhaps they should call that place..”FIRE LAKES”

Well…I think I should go now…I am really tired!!

Love you all,
Kenzie

Geez…a little baby takes a 4 day sabbatical…and what happens? Everyone complains…well here you go…I will tell you about the last four days…

I went to the MALL!! What a great place that is…stores…stuff…everywhere…There was this one store that started with a “N” Dad kept saying that was the devils place and that I should stay out of there…at least until I was 25…whatever that means…

I did get some pretty clothes…Mom and Dad have great taste…well except I think I look good in anything…

We had dinner at Olive Garden…Fettucine Alfredo in a bottle is sooooo goood!!

I am excited…this weekend we are going camping…and I get to see where my great-grandpa Benjamin is…

Dad says he is going to take me jet-skiing…I can’t wait to try wakeboarding…

Well…mom has a gun to my head…she wants me to make sure that I keep all of you updated…so…be aware I will not be able to update you until Monday…

I hope you all have a great weekend…

Hey there, I survived my second camping trip.

My dad, mom, big sister Katie, and I all went to Long Beach for Dad’s softball tournament. Tanner stayed to keep Grandma company while Aunt Mindy was out of town and Ashlyn stayed with her dad.

We camped with our friends Mike, Meghan, Brooke, Michael, and Riley. I had so much fun! The only thing that was somewhat bothersome was that cold bottle mom tried to feed me on the Friday night. Other than that, it was great!

It was mighty windy at the softball games, but I had fun watching my daddy. I also got to meet my Great Grandma Merna, her husband John, and their doggy Benji. She was so sweet and fed me and took care of me while my mommy and daddy went to the florist to look at flowers for their wedding. She brought me this pretty dress and a nice warm blanket that someone handmade.

I got to have my first taste of “chocolate”. It was so nummy from mommy’s fudge sundae. I also got to meet my daddy’s old boss and his wife. They were very nice people. My daddy seems to know everyone in that small town. Oh and I got to see my friends Ed and Karen again too. They have a doggy named Trudi. She didn’t really like me stealing all the attention. :o)

Let’s see, what else happened while we were at the beach? We went for a very long, bumpy walk to look at the ocean. Then we went to the lighthouse for a really pretty view of the ocean, though, it was too windy for mommy to take me to see the beach. She kept me all warm and buddled up in the blankets while she was super cold. I wanted to give her one of my blankies.

We got to roast marshmallows and hot dogs for dinner that night. I didn’t get to taste them, but I loved cuddling with mommy next to the fire.

Well, I better go catch some zzzz’s before my noisy sisters and brother get home.

Love,
Kenzie

Not much happened today…it was so hot. My mom’s friend came over to visit from the Tri-Cities…she brought her two daughters…Dad wasn’t feeling very good today…so he was no fun to be around…we did get up to go to Tanner’s baseball game…cept that when we got there…only 3 other players from Tanner’s team had shown up…so we went back home..

That’s when dad started feeling really icky so we all took long naps…

Did I say it was hot?? It was!!

Well I have to go…its Fathers Day!!!

Last night I got to go watch my dad play softball…he is horrible. He doens’t know how to hit the ball…and he calls himself a ballplayer…just wait till I show him how it’s done..

Michele and Rick were there…they got me a beautiful new outfit…being a girl is nice…the clothes are always so pretty…

Yesterday I met my great grandma Clark…she was so nice to me…*S*

I also went to my mom and dad’s work…everyone doted on me and said how beautiful I was…though..they kept asking me if I was sure that my dad was my dad???

I keep scaring my mother…she worries that I am always choking…aren’t mothers awesome..

Well…have to go to bed…want to make sure I can be up by 3am so Dad and Mom don’t get to sleep through the night.

Love you all,
Kenzie

Guess what? Dad didn’t get to work a full day again today…I have been having little problems breathing…and mom got really scared…Who could blame her? I am a priceless jewel. Anyhow, mom took me to the doctor to see if I was ok…and guess who met us there….DAD! The doctor said that I had a great heart…perfect little lungs and I was gaining weight..( when she said that I wanted to pee on her! Little girls shouldn’t be told they are gaining weight) The doctor thinks I have a lazy sphincter (no not my dad) the sphincter just above my stomach apparently doesn’t stay closed when it should and sometimes food starts to come back up…she said this is just something that will eventually go away. IN the mean time, I have to sleep at an angle or on my side…and no going to bed right after eating…Mom is still really scared…

Tonight I was given a sponge bath…at first I didn’t like it…but then it started to feel really good. My mom is so gentle with me. I love her so much…

I hope you like my picture today…this is right after my bath..pretty cute aren’t I?

Night everyone!!
Kenzie

Dad came home from work on his lunch break today…Mom wasn’t feeling well…I don’t know what is wrong?? I try to be super good for her so she can rest…I think my mom spends to much time trying to clean and worrying about stuff that she can count on my dad to do…

While we were at the doctors office…I heard a familiar voice…Dad was saying to some lady that I figured out was a nurse that my mom was seeing while I was incubating…she was really nice and said I was very pretty…

Mom has to take lots of medicines so she will get better…I think tonight I will try to sleep all night long so that they can get some rest…

Grannies?? Where are you??

Sweet Dreams,
Kenzie

Had my first doctor’s appointment. The doctor said I was doing quite well…the nurse was super nice…she took off all my clothes and I accidently pee’d on her table…I was so embaressed…but she was nice about it..
Later that day…we stopped to pick up my brother and sisters from daycare…and I decided to scare the begeezus out of my mom…I was trying to puke on mom’s shoulder when I started to choke…mom got really scared…but my pop came and flipped me over on my tummy and cleared my throat for me…My dad is the greatest…
Well its time to go back to sleep…I want to be able to stay awake tonight…Mom and Dad seem to enjoy it when I am awake at night???

I miss my friends and grannies…where o where is my grandpa??

Kenzie

Last night…Auntie Myndi was going to change my “dootie” but decided it was too much for her…when Mom saw me… boy was she in for a treat…everyone decided that I needed something called a “bath”…I let them know right away that bathing is not for me…I heard Dad say this morning his ears are still hurting…

I tried my hardest to keep mom and dad awake last night…I love sleeping all day then just as they lay down to go to sleep…I let them know I am still here…I tease them and make them think I am hungry…other times I give them the impression I have a dootie…
Last night I tried to get milk out of my mommies chin…

I just want to say I love you all…come see me…and keep reading about my adventures…

My parents are both doing fine, daddy is all giddy and talks and sings to me all the time he was the lucky one to change my first “dootie”!!I was worried about mom it was stressful for her and her body the last few months while I was incubating. She is recovering nicely and I love it when she holds me right over her heart!!!
I think my mom and dad are going to be allright though I am really worried…everybody keeps telling me I look like my pop lets all hope not…I won’t have any hair by the time I am 14!!!

My big sisters and brother came and visited me at the hospital…

Katie held me for a long time and I really liked her pretty eyes…

Tanner…is a typical boy, he held me for a second, then saw a pretty nurse come in and left me…

Ashlyn, was so excited to hold me she gave me a bunny kiss and said that she loved me…

ooohh….and dare I forget my grannies? They were so excited to see me they were there when I was born and then they held me so close.

I want to thank everyone that came and visited me in the hospital…sorry I was such a sleepy hostess! Next time I promise I will be more aware of you!!!

I think I am the luckiest little girl in the world…I have this wonderful family that loves me so so much…and all these new friends that came to say hi in the hospital…
