Family Trip and new Milestones

Well it's been about a month since I wrote last....(it's not like anyone reads this anyway.) But we had our annual trip to Big Bear, CA and this was Kenzie's 1st trip...last year she was in my belly. Well, we had a GREAT time and enjoyed spending time with our extended family. I didn't take too many pictures, I'm not good with that stuff, but I did get some from our trip up the ski lifts and back down again.

Fell asleep for the hike down

Riding up the lifts


Last Monday Kenzie hit 8 months! I can hardly believe my baby girl is getting so big! She is crawling, pulling herself up and even trying to take steps. She cruises around the furniture and she lets go and stands, balancing herself. She is too much! She is still a babbling queen and she loves to laugh and giggle. She is definitely a girlie girl. She loves drinking juice from her sippy cup and she even tries to drink out of a regular cup (with my help and supervision of course!) Her top teeth still haven't come in, but I think they will be here soon! We have a walker at my parents house for Kenzie to explore in and she has a ball. At first, when she didn't know how to scoot in it, she didn't like it so much. But she finally figured out how to walk in that thing and she is gone in an instant. She zooms around, runs into furniture and the walls and she just repositions herself and keeps on going.


I am still working and it's wearing me out more than ever. I don't ever have a weekend with my family where I don't have to work unless I request some days off.....I would like my schedule to change, but that's not going to happen.
So things are going good overall. We are happy and healthy, ready for the cooler weather to hit. I'm so over summer! I want my power bill to go down! My goal is to lose some poundage before next summer, because if things are going up like they are now, we are planning to get pregnant next summer sometime. So this gives us about a year to get our finances in order and for me to lose some weight, and hopefully we will be buying a house here soon as well. Lots of goals and not too much time, but we will see! I really want to make sure our kids are somewhat close together.....everyone thinks I'm crazy. Well, I'd better get some rest. The little stinker wears me out during the day!
