While Daddy headed to LA for a bachelor party, Kenley and I had a super fun weekend! We went to Golden Gardens, went to a bbq at day care, went to the pool and visited Papa, went to Sara and Ian's wedding (Rachel) and Parent's Night Out at day care (Kenley), and finally, went to a friend's birthday party! Here is Kenley waiting for the bus to head to the party! And on the bus... And waiting to sing happy birthday... And enjoying toy story cupcakes! That afternoon, surprise! Great Aunt Gail came to visit! Kenley wore her ice cream cone dress to celebrate. Yay! A good weekend! Here's one pic from our trip to the Greenwood Seafair parade on Wednesday evening! Now we are off to Colorado to meet Grandma Karin and Papa Richard for a long weekend! see you all on the flip side!

Hi everyone! We had a rainy weekend here this weekend so we were pretty tame. On Friday, Bebe, Michal, Kenley and I had a girls' night with shopping, teriyaki, and sword in the stone! On Saturday, Michal, Rachel, and Aunt Tessa went out to celebrate our favorite bachelorette, Sara! (here's a cute pic - and evidence that parents do still go out - sometimes) Here's a funny new face kenley has been doing. Kenley spent the weekend playing with play dough, pretending to be the teacher of "music class" with all her stuffed animals, and having a new friend over to play. Tonight, big news - KK went number two in the potty for the first time!! She was very "excited" and "proud." We called Uncle Ryan (Grandma Karin was asleep) and Bebe to tell them about it, and then we went to the toy store to pick out a prize! Here's Kenley shopping for her prize. And here's the best picture I could get of what she picked - a little baby doll.

This morning Kenley said "i have to go potty," sat down on her little potty, and peed! Wow! We celebrated by letting her flush it down the big potty and then calling Papa Bert to tell him about it. She (very proudly) said (to his voice mail) "I went pee pee in the potty!!" We'll see if this is the beginning of big things!

Hi everyone! We had beautiful weather this weekend! Here are some fun pictures! Here's a picture Kenley's teachers took of her while going to get a "treat" at cupcake royale on Friday. Here's Kenley playing at the local "spray park" on Thursday. On Saturday, Beth, Michal, Michael, and I took Kenley and friend Finnegan to the Wallingford Kiddie parade and fair. The kids loved it!! Everyone got stickers, balloons, and candy, and there were lots of dancing, bands, fire trucks, school buses, clowns, etc! A kid's dream come true! Kenley at this point was saying "Ima ride the pony!" We didn't ride though. Today, Bebe and Papa Bert were kind enough to watch Kenley so mom and dad could take a break to go kayaking on lake union with friends! Good fun had by all! And, the Kenley story of the week - on Saturday night while Daddy and Uncle Peter were eating pizza with Kenley, Uncle Peter tried to explain to Kenley that the pizza needed to go in h...

Hello everyone! We just got back from a fabulous weekend at the Oregon Coast! But first, here are some cute pictures from last week before we left. Kenley has suddenly decided to play "pretend." Here is she taking her doggy to the zoo to see the elephants. Wearing a fireman's hat. Michael wrote the following about our weekend: The King/Brehm/Gedney/Friesen clan decided to pack our bags and hit the road for the long holiday weekend. Our destination: the gorgeous Oregon Coast, home of wonderful beaches, wild bingo and THE Tillamook Cheese Factory. Also, home to Great-Grandpa Bert and Great-Grandma Dorothy's beach house! So Kenley, Mom, Dad, Papa and Bebe all took off Thursday morning for the coast. We "toodled" our way south, stopping first for a lovely lunch picnic in a nice park on the way. The weather appeared dark and gloomy, but the further south we drove, the better and better it got! Kenley took a good long nap, and when she awoke, we were a...
