Kenley and Cooper's Blog

Hi Everyone! Its been awhile, so we have a little catching up to do! Our camera is malfunctioning, so I don't have a lot of photos of the fun things we have been up to lately.  Last weekend, despite the rain, we did get to go to another pumpkin patch with friends! Tons of fun things to do, like go in a bouncy house and ride a little train, and where does our kid head? That's right, straight for the biggest mud puddle she can find.  This is right before she said down with a "Kerplop"! I can't get this one to rotate correctly! We have definitely hit the twos head on at this point.  Kenley's new favorite word is "NOOOOOO!" (with that emphasis).  She especially loves to say it when you ask her to, for example, hug her grandmother or kiss her daddy goodnight. :) Its not easy for us! But, she still makes it worthwhile by being cute and funny. The funny phrases she has been picking up are growing.  Some of my recent favorites: Can...

Hi everyone! We had a great weekend of low key fun! A couple play dates, dinner out for Thai, family movie night, and lots and lots of books (Kenley is back into reading and wants to read books pretty much constantly - arg!)! This morning, we decided to head outside despite the rain for a little hike at our local park. Here's Kenley chasing bubbles! Afterwards, Rike and Finnegan came over to play! The kids LOVE to jump together! And snuggle under the blanket together. So much fun!

Here are a few random things to share - Kenley got a haircut this weekend! Here's how we found Kenley this morning. And, here are some classic Kenley quotes - Michael: Kenley, are you rooting for the Yankees or the Tigers? Kenley: Yankees. Michael: Why? Kenley: Tigers might bite me. Kitty might bite me too. He likes the Tigers. Kenley: I love my mommy and my daddy! Michael: We love you too Kenley! Who else do you love? Kenley: Spinach! Everytime we ask her what she wants to be for Halloween, it is something different. We have heard: Lion, Ladybug, Elmo (and Mommy be cookie monster and daddy be big bird), Big Bird, Scary Pumpkin (and mommy and daddy be happy pumpkins). . .

Hi everyone! I'm just getting around to posting pics, but here is a really bad picture of our trip to see Obama speak at the paramount theater in Seattle last weekend. We had great seats (but not good enough to enjoy the Tom Douglas luncheon served on the floor). This week we had friends over with a 6 week old baby. Kenley loved visiting with the baby, and insisted on tucking her in with her other babies, and then cuddling with her under a blankie. Hopefully this is a good sign on how she will handle her new cousin!! On Saturday, we went to the pumpkin patch! We didn't let the rain and mud stop us from picking out a family of "pump-kwins" (one for mommy, one for daddy, and one for Kenley!). This is our 3rd annual trip to this pumpkin patch! You can see pics of our visit to the pumpkin patch last year here or two years ago here . Thanks for Aunt Michal for taking pictures and compiling this collage! Other great news - we found out Michal and Jason are having a gir...

We finally took Kenley to get 2 year old portraits done - enjoy!
