Winter Wonderland

We got more snow today! A lot of snow!!! I'm pretty sure Kynzley enjoyed it :-) Her and I spent a good portion of our morning running through all the freshly fallen snow. I can't help but think what was going through my neighbors heads if they were watching us - ha! I'm sure I looked more like a babysitter than a mother. At one point Kynzley and I were having a contest to see who could slide the farthest down our sloped driveway --- head first ---. We took the sled up and down the street a few (thousand) times too! I'm not sure what was more fun for her, the sledding or watching me face plant it a bunch of times because of the ice under the snow. We ended our day back out in the snow as well!!!! All in all it was a fantastic winter day!!!!!

All bundled up and ready to go out!

By far her favorite part of snow, eating it!

She was trying so hard to get Cody to play with her, as you see he only wanted to go in the nice warm house

Happy Snow Day!!!

Just in case any snow was left behind she was there with her shovel!

We're back: The SUPER update

Hello Everyone!!!

We are back! With the holidays we found ourselves super busy and the blogging got way behind us...me :) Don't worry, I will update you!

Lets see.... last blog was Halloween (oh goodness, so sad!). Since then there was Thanksgiving (which was great and simple!), my birthday (spent doing Christmas activities!!!), a family wedding (Kynzley had SOOOO much fun!), Kynzley's FIRST  dance recital (she did a GREAT job!), 4 family Christmas's, a trip to Wisconsin Dells and New years spent with great friends (Kynzley lasted until 12:30!)! There was also a visit in there to Chicago to see some of our favorites, Kenna, Micki and of course Nap (Matt - Kynzley calls him Nap)!

Kynzley is growing like a weed and advances in something everyday! We love to stay active and involved. Like I previously mentioned she had her first dance recital! It was so much fun to watch her :) She also took part in a gymnastic/gym class at the Y and had A LOT of fun! We are currently taking a break from dancing and she has decided to do a sports class (it introduces a new sport everyday). She's having a lot of fun with it so far! Her favorite sports currently are football (yes football!) and basketball. She will actually sit and watch a whole football game with daddy and yes, she even yells at the TV. She may love football, but she is OBSESSED with princesses! Most days are spent with her wearing her wearing her Cinderella or Rapunzel dresses. She knows her ABC's, can count to 15 on her own, wears undies (!!!!), loves to talk on the phone, sings about EVERYTHING (E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.G), always looks forward to playing with her friends and makes us smile everyday!!! We are so blessed to have her!

We are excited to see what 2013 holds for us!

Trick-or-treat

Kynzley had a blast trick-or-treating! We went with our neighbors, the girls have so much fun together! They would run to each house, pound on the door and quietly say "trick-or-treat" :)

Pumpkins, cookies and decorations

Halloween is only a couple days away, we decided it was a good time to get in the mood :) Kynzley decorated the house/doors with Charlie Brown Halloween stick ons, we made (easy, already made {don't judge}) Halloween cookies and ended the evening with pumpkin painting and carving! Kynzley had a TON of fun with all of it! Everyone's pumpkins turned out great - we are all ready for Wednesday!

Yup, practically hanging head first inside the pumpkin! Trying to get every last bit of guts :)

Got it!

Fun Fall Weekend

Oh, my!!!! It was a B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L weekend!!!!!!!!!!! It was the perfect weekend to (finally) do fall activities. Saturday we went to our usual pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins. We changed it up a bit this year and instead of a pumpkin for everyone in the family ... including Cody ... Kynzley picked her's and Francis and I got a HUGE one to share! It will be so fun to decorate it! On Sunday we headed to the apple orchard. We are BIG on traditions and it would have been sad if we wouldn't have been able to fit these two things in do to sickness and weather - but we did!

She found the perfect one!

Looking for the perfect apple

Beautiful day in the orchard!

These two loved her! Okay, what you don't see is that they LOVE the apple that is in her other hand :)

Not long after the picture was taken the horse finally accomplished his mission. He took the apple right out of her hand
