Part 2 of Kenzie's Birthday

So Derek was in charge of the camera during Kenzie's family party. The only picture that we have is this one of the cake...AND I TOOK IT! HAHA The rest are videos and they are long and you don't need too see those :)

So we had my parents and we ordered pizza, opened presents and had cake and ice cream.

Well, here is our picture :)

Kenzie's Birthday Party

Kenzie turned 2! I can't even believe that it has been 2 years, I can totally believe that Kenzie is 2 because I feel like she already acted 2 BUT that it has already been 2 years since she was born....HOLY COW~that is a little harder to believe.

Any ways, a few of us met at the Dinosaur Play Place at Flatirons to have a very low key Birthday Party. The kids were running around so crazy that I wasn't able to get pictures of everyone but here are a few that are blog worthy.

OH MY OH MY OH MY

Derek and I went to borders yesterday and I love looking at Magazines for cute ideas. There was an adorable apron magazine, called Apronology....and this was on the cover....

I AM IN LOVE....I even dreamed about. There is a tutorial in the magazine and I really want to go back to get it...is it kinda impractical...YUP....but maybe I can make it into a summer skirt...maybe I will be over my head in flowers I haven't decided yet...the only thing I have decided is that I LOVE IT....here are a few more that I love from her website.

I LOVE THEM ALL....I think that I have convinced myself that they would all be adorable skirts, especially for the summer....I might have to start on one....AHHH I LOVE THEM I can't even describe how adorable I think these are....


ps...here is her website which I LOVE EVERYTHING THAT IS ON IT!!!!

Estes Park

In September we were able to take a trip up to Estes Park. We wanted to go up and see the Elk and the leaves changing. We haven't ever really taken a day trip any where and thought it would be a fun family outing. IT TOTALLY WAS. We drove all the way up to the top of Trail Ridge Road. A very fun ride especially since we were able to take Derek's mustang because it hadn't started snowing yet! Kenzie got altitude sickness (we are pretty sure) she was totally having a great time in Estes Park…then when we got to the top of the mountain she wouldn't hardly move and didn't even want to walk just be held and had a little bit of a fever…WEIRD…then when we got to the bottom she was fine. We loved this trip together and had a ton of fun walking around main street Estes Park. I am not going to lie….there was an AWESOME taffy shop that had melt in your mouth salt water taffy (one of my weaknesses) and I definitely ate the whole bag of taffy. IT WAS AWESOME. Here are the pictures from our trip!

Pregnancy Brain ;)

An exerpt from a couple of recent conversations....

1. While we were in Idaho driving around town
Derek: how are you doing?
Me: good I am hungry
Derek: what! you just ate breakfast
Me: what are you talking about?
D: you just said you were hungry.
M: I did? I meant to say I was comfortable...oops


2. My sister, Emily had just come over after piano lessons.
Me: hey Em, how are your jammies?
Emily: what? Ummmm...
Me: what did I just ask you? Did I just ask how your jammies were?
Emily: yup I am a little confused
Me: you should be I meant to ask you how your piano lessons were! Oops I have really bad pregnancy brain!
Emily: well piano was good and so are my jammies ;)


So I am pretty sure that it is only going to get worse from here on out.

Consider yourself warned

BOY! Kenzie is gonna have a little brother ;) she wants a puppy or a sister....so she is a little disappointed but I am still not convinced that she knows the difference between brother and sister. But she does know the difference between brother and puppy. Haha she cracks me up! Derek and I are excited to have one of each.
