Kennidee watch

This is my baby she is almost 11 months old. She is quite the character.

She has 5 teeth. She got 4 of these in one month between 9-10 months of age.
She is standing all by her self and will stand up almost anywhere including the stairs. She stands on the stairs after she gets so excited with her sister who is saying "come on Kenni".
The 2 sisters are playing alot more together which is fun to watch. McKell is trying to help Kenni walk all the time. She does a good job she just needs to walk a little slower because Kennidee usually trips and falls down.
How cute is this! Kennidee did such a good job taking pictures!
Oh yeah, by herself she can take about 5 steps. It is very exciting. McKell walked about 2 weeks before her 1st birthday so it is a race.

Last couple of weeks we have been...

So I went to Albertson's for their Kraft food deal and BJ and I spent 77.17 and got back 15 at the register and have 60 coming in mail rebates. So we spent 2.17 on all of this food. I know I am awesome. I know most of it looks like junk food but BJ did start school so he needs snack right!
Grandma Colleen came to help Aunt Brindy move and she came over for dinner and to see my girls. I told BJ that I thought it was a little too quite. I went upstairs and so Grandma helping McKell empty her toy box. McKell had so much fun with Grandma Colleen and Kennidee followed me up the stairs and had lots of fun too.
Ok so to explain this random picture BJ is always asking me why don't you blow dry McKell's hair or straight iron it. Well hear it is she looks so much different. Wow I was shocked and BJ was so excited he couldn't stop commenting about it. To explain my husband is not the biggest fan of curly hair. I think somewhere in his head that if I leave it curly then that means I didn't take the time to do it that morning. I'll be honest her hair is like an every other day thing. She has a major fit to wash her hair and with curly hair it is a pain to comb through if it hasn't been washed.
This is the most recent picture I have of her where you can really see her hair. Do you like all the marker all over her.

Ducks, river and J-u-u-a-n-n-e


Wow, looking at this picture still totally freaks me out. We went to Idaho falls and stayed with our friends Carissa and Mike. They took us to the falls which are gorgeous but they McKell to be able to feed the geese and ducks. Can you believe how many birds there are? They were everywhere. BJ braved and helped McKell throw them bread.



Like I said the falls are beautiful but the geese not so much!!



The reason for a trip to Idaho was for my niece Kinsey's open house. The funniest part of our celebration was when my nephew Teagan who is 7 read the front windshield and said "Who is (pronouce this like a girl's name) J-u-u-a-n-n-e". We had a celebration weekend with floating the river as well. The river was so much fun. BJ and I rented a 4 person tube where the center was enclosed and our whole family (yes that means we took Kennidee and McKell) down the river several time. The girls had fun most of the time... except for when Kennidee fell asleep in my arms and we then went down a small rapid and Kenni got cold water splashed in her face. She didn't think that was very exciting. Our summer has been constantly on the go. It has been exciting and exhausting. I have been pleased to just sit in my pj's and do nothing at home. By the way Juan if you are reading this I would never do that to your car.
