Finding Time :)

FAT BOOTH!

I am making time to update this thing.

Clean Kitchen!

We have been living in our new house for a month now and it's still coming together. There are still boxes to go through and a lot of organizing ahead of me. We need a computer desk BADLY! I am currently sitting on the floor and my legs are already falling asleep!

Lets move into the reason I maintain this blog, my Kenzie Rae.

Helping me clean

Lounging

• She is talking A LOT more! She attempts to say a lot more words and she now says MomMom instead of pointing to her chin. (Signing Mom) She can say most of the letters in the alphabet with a lot of nudging from me :)
• NO MORE BINKIE! She had only a handful left when we moved in and I was determined to get rid of that thing before her 2nd Birthday, a little more than a month away. She chewed up every one she had left, forcing me to throw them away, so essentially she quit cold turkey. She did fine. I think I needed it more than she did! Haha
• Potty training is still not something she is interested in. I make her sit on her potty every night before bath time and she smiles and waits like she's gonna pee, then she hops up and climbs into the tub. Nothing. I can't force her, so it's just a waiting game with a little push from me.
  
• She has turned into quite the cuddle-bug. She likes to come and sit with anyone and watch her TV shows. She will randomly come up behind me and give me a big squeeze. She gives lots of hugs and kisses.
• She likes to know what/who everything/everyone is and then she likes to wave to it/him/her and try to say the name we just told her.
  
• She makes me laugh so much sometimes I think I'm gonna pee my pants. She is a little comedian. She laughs at herself a lot, especially when she farts.

Being Silly

Little Miss Daredevil

I can't believe my little munchkin will be 2 in 36 days! (or something like that!) I already bought her a Birthday present....We are going to see Yo Gabba Gabba LIVE the day before her Birthday, December 2nd! She is going to have so much fun! I got us floor seats so she will be able to see everything going on up close! :)

Playing in the rain

I on the other hand will be 26....ugh. I can't believe how close I am to 30 already, I still feel like I'm 20 sometimes......

I've got the baby fever hardcore....I need to get another one cut out of me soon (I can't pop one out, thanks Kenz for the C-section), I wanna be done with kids by 30!!! I want to have the option of a third I guess...I dunno, I'm crazy ;)

Doing her FAVORITE alphabet puzzle

Some idiot actually parked like this.

I have the tiny black car (parked PERFECTLY I might add) and I had to climb in the passenger door and maneuver my little Rabbit outta there. I was furious and so close to keying the crap out of it but it was already all banged up so it wouldn't have done any good. Jackass. I wish I would've gotten a better angle, you can't tell how shitty he really parked.

MOVING!

The last week has been CRAZY!

Last Wednesday we signed all our closing papers and last Friday we did our final home-inspection/walk-through and received our KEYS! Because we weren't planning on getting our keys that day we didn't plan on moving. This past week we have been slowly filling up the cars and taking stuff over and putting it away. We got our brand new CAL KING in on Wednesday and I cannot wait to sleep on it!

We are down to the big stuff.....couch, recliner, guest bed, ginormous 65" TV and the ridiculously large/heavy stand it goes on, Kenzie's dresser, our 46" TV that is still in the box, (yay!!) and other dressers!

Moving totally sucks but that fact that we're moving into OUR own HOUSE makes it better :)

I was counting today, this move into our house makes 5 moves in 2 YEARS! I think I'm done moving for at least 5 years! :)

Oh, and this post wouldn't be complete without a picture of my darling princess! <3

Almost Done!!! :)

Kenzie in her new room!

Doing somersaults is her new "thing."

Russ and I will soon be homeowners!

We sign our loan papers on Wednesday the 15th and we have our final walk-through scheduled for Friday the 17th! Hopefully we will be receiving our keys that day too! They told us it could take 48-72 hours for the property to record and officially be ours. I can't even describe how excited I am.

A few weekends ago we went down to RC Willey and bought our first brand-new mattress! This little queen bed we've been sleeping on is killing me. That Cal-King is calling my name. :)

We also had our first experience of impulse-buying. We had been checking out 42"-46" flat-screen tv's for our room and finally came across one we liked. It was a deal at Best Buy that we couldn't pass up once we got there and saw it.
We got a 46" internet tv with an internet blu-ray player for $999.
The TV alone is regularly $1,300 and the blu-ray is about $200. It was too good to pass up! Now I can watch netflix in my room without any added players or boxes.

We decided to hold off on a couch and live there for a while to figure out what we want and what will fit best in our small area. I'm keeping my eye out for a nice dining table and chairs as well. Our little one was perfect for our apartments but I want something a little more accommodating for guests.

Headbands at Target

Bath Time!

Bubbles!

Kenzie successfully sat in her "big girl panties" for a good 30 minutes without an accident. BUT, she refused to go potty after that 30 minutes so she got a diaper back on. The panties have a "liner" in them, they're training panties, but I don't really feel like cleaning pee out of the furniture so we'll just be giving them quick tries :)

Signing Time!

Kenzie LOVES Signing Time!

We have through volume 4 of Dvd's and she watches them non-stop. It's like she's in another world when they're on. She's picked up quite a few signs, I'm impressed.

Playing "dress up like a granny" ;)

She still isn't saying as many words as I'd like her to. My mom and I have come to the conclusion that she knows lots of words, she's just stubborn! I know that sounds totally naive, but really. She is so smart. It's hard to explain, but I know my child, and she's the spitting image of me, attitude and all :)

So, has anyone ever shave off their finger nail with a razor?

Well, I have:

You can't really tell cuz it wouldn't stop bleeding, but that is from shaving off my finger nail. I didn't even know that was possible to do while shaving your legs. Hmm. I learn something new every day!

Well, I don't have much to talk about. I just watched Signing Time and did laundry today. Whoopie!

Here's to my last 3 days of being on the pill! :D

Not quite ready yet....

Potty training is officially on hiatus. Kenzie is SOOOO not ready to be a big girl. We played with the idea for a while and she just isn't interested. I've done my fair share of reading about potty training and rule #1 is to NOT FORCE your child into it. "They will let you know when they are ready."

BUT I'M READY NOWWWWWW!!!

Doesn't that count for anything potty training experts?!?!

I have previously written about Kenzie's need to stick her hands down her pants (poopy pants) and all that disgusting stuff and how I put an end to it with onesies and rompers. Now the onesies and rompers are being used for a different reason. Kenz now knows how to remove her shorts/pants and take off her diaper.

I learned the hard way. She can't ever give me the easy route.

Long story short, my husband walked in on her in her playroom with no bottoms on. He went in to invesitgate and saw a nice pile of POO on the floor, her clean diaper pushed to the side. She had poop on her legs, arms, hands and all over her shirt. GROSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

I threw her in the tub and scrubbed the poop off of her. THANKFULLY my mom cleaned up the rest of the mess. BLEH!


For a while I was seriously considering changing Kenzie's pediatrician but after this weekend I think I wanna stay. This sounds completely LAME but it's me, go figure. While Russ, Kenz and I were out shopping for couches we saw Dr. Carrie. She saw me, got a huge smile on her face and waved and said HIII!!! Now, how many doctors would recognize a patient's parent? I've actually ran into her a few times and she always recognizes me, says hi and asks how we're doing. IDK, that totally did it for me. She is GREAT with Kenzie and she is so easy to talk to. Hook, Line and Sinker. DONE!

This is my baby wearing my glasses. What a goofball :)

Me and the Stinker....she looks thrilled.

OH! I almost forgot our house! I got an email saying that our new home will be completed and ready for our New Home Orientation and delivery September 10th! AHHH! I can't believe it!

This is Kenz testing out the stairs 2 weekends ago :)

emptying my head

I have a rough time falling asleep. always. I have so much running through my head and now I have my cat Charlie cuddling with me.

I have decided to start reading again. The last book I read was Coraline and before that was Breaking Dawn almost 2 years ago when it came out. I am a HUGE Bret Easton Ellis fan and have a few of his books. 3 of his books were made into movies: The Rules of Attraction, American Psycho and Less Than Zero. (all awesome movies btw) He finally came out with a sequel book to Less Than Zero called Imperial Bedrooms and it sounds AMAZING! I am set on going out and buying that book tomorrow! Another one of his books I read in high school was Glamorama. His books are dark and I love it. Sex, drugs and f'ed up lives is what his books are about mostly.

This post is quite boring. This app doesn't do pictures yet. This blog is my outlet since I don't have any friends and my family never let's me get a word in edge wise. I mean, I know I just sit around on my ass all day and eat Bon-bons but I still need some human interaction. Somebody who doesn't scream and throw tantrums every 5 minutes for some reason or another. :(

I guess I'll end it here.

thanks bloggy for always listening to me and not judging me :)

Want a good laugh?

I came across this website and got quite a few laughs and some shaking of the head. It makes me want to go to walmart right now and take some pictures :) j/k

Oh yeah. Kenzie learned how to take off her shorts and diaper and decided to poop on the floor and play with it.

Yep. She did that.

All my years as a Lifeguard at the good 'ol COH Rec centers I got to clean up my fair share of vomit and feces. Nothing prepares you to clean up your own child's shit off the ground and scrub it off their clothes, legs and hands. GROSS!

Although I must say, knowing it is my own child makes it the tiniest, I mean itty-bittiest, lil' bit easier.

Oh Kenz. Never a dull moment.
Potty training can't come soon enough! That incident just sparked my motivation :)
