Bowling Night

We went to the Provo Beach Resort and the kids loved it.  Here are some pictures of them bowling.  Kenzlee was a huge fan of bowling.

All the miscellaneous pictures from September.  

Some cute pictures of Mikelle.

Kenzlee and Ty

 Kenzlee fell and split her lip and had to get it glued shut.  

Cuddles on the couch, notice how Kenzlee is playing with her belly button.  She loves that thing.

They loved these chairs at Gordmans.

I remember sneaking out with my siblings when I was little.  We called it 'sneakies.'  The boys are doing the same thing here to try and watch tv.

Girl's Night Out to the movies.

We were on a drive and went by my Great-Grandma's (Grandma Buttercup's mother in law) old house in Provo.

The boys playing in the mud.

Kenzlee met Cosmo.  She was very curious but a little scared.

Poor Ty got stung by a mosquito on his eyelid.

Then he fell the next day on his bike and got pretty banged up.

Found this lovely note from Mikelle on the bathroom counter. 

"I don't want to live with Kylee.  Love, Mikelle" 

Peaking in the office

We showed the kids 'The Wizard of Oz'.  I think they were fans.

Kenzlee is 18 Months

Wow, what a cute little baby!  Although adding a forth has been busy and hard at times, Kenzlee is a little bundle of love and joy!  She is very sweet and is starting to talk a ton!  She is picking up all kinds of words and growing up to be a toddler and not a baby anymore.  She loves LOVES the movie Frozen.  She sings out "Let it Go" all the time and is borderline obsessed.  She also likes Baby Einstein and Baby Signing Time. She knows lots of signs but those are fading out as she is just learning the words and talking more now.  She loves her babies and puppies.  I'd say her favorite things on earth are Frozen, puppies, and Grandma.  If we could get grandma to sing "Let it Go" while holding a puppy, Kenzlee would be in heaven.  She is by far the best baby at going to bed.  We just put her in her crib with her "bottle and blankie" and she almost never cries and just goes straight to sleep.  She is pretty good at sleeping the night through but if she does wake up I just get her a small bottle and lay with her for a minute then put her back in the crib and she goes back to sleep.  She is the only one of my kids that doesn't want to snuggle in the bed.  She tosses and turns and kicks the blankets off of Matt (which he literally freaks out about), and she just doesn't seem comfortable.

This little sweet girl is a spit fire though.  Maybe two older brothers did it to her, but she LOVES to tease.  She will pretend to share something with someone and then hurry and pull it away.  She has started a biting faze.  She used to just bite as a form of self protection, but now she just bites for fun and we are working on that.  One time she was walking around singing and I started to sing with her and she looked right at me and said "STOP."  She is a sassy little thing.  We have to make sure all the doors are shut because she loves to go through her siblings things and make messes.

Oh, one more thing.  She is obsessed with her belly button.  She has been for quite some time.  When she is tired or especially whenever she has a bottle, she has to twirl and play with her belly button.  It helps her go to sleep.  It's like a comfort thing or something.  We can no longer put onesies on her because she can't get to it and it makes her mad.

Her favorites:

Food: Fruit, cheese, and pizza

Drink:  Milk

Toy:  She likes her babies, books, and play cameras and phones
