Kenadie turns 2!!!!

Kenadie turned two on the 8th of February! Do I really have a 2 year old? Such a good couple of years it has been! We had a fun little zebra themed birthday a couple days before her bday before her dad left! She loved it! Loved all the cake, sweets, kids, family, and of course the presents! She got way too much but it was alot of fun see her get into it this year! We haven't been able to get her 2 year well check yet because we are in the twice a week with her being sick! This poor girl has had a awful winter with being sick! Sadly she took after me in the whole "asthma/ allergy bracket so we don't know what a simple "cold" is, it always goes to being very sick! Its been rough but after many antibiotics, breathing treatments, rescue inhalers, Tubes, steroids, and LOTs of long nights, there is a light at the end of the tunnel...hopefully spring will come soon and it will give her a break! She has picked up quite the personality! And a very strong attitude! Already talking back..really?? I thought I had another year or so on that one! She copys everything, we have to watch what we say very carefully and she is so full of energy! I love her to death, so much fun!

So my family doesn't get mad from me posting these pics, they were all upthe night before in panguitch hospital from 3am , eryn was having lots of stomach pains. They all wanted to come to the birthday party really bad so left the hospital straight over to Richfield for the bday party! Crazy family! So this is why they would want me to explain, sweats and no makeup for all of them! they ended up leaving to go back to the hospital to check her levels and got sent to Cedar right away for Eryn to get her appendix out! She was hurting the whole party but wanted to be with kenadie so she put it aside! What an awesome aunt! Love her!

Zebra cake!! Lots of fun to make but took a good 3-4 hours!!!

Christmas!

Christmas this year was ALOT of fun! Finally Lane was home for the first holiday all year long! He had to leave the day after Christmas so we headed to Escalante Early to celebrate with everyone and be back xmas days at our house! We were so spoiled this year! I loved being home and hated leaving this time! Kenaide got a little overwhelmed a couple days, but for doing 4 different xmas's she did really well and caught on fast! She loves her toys and I am likeing have a new distraction so I can get alittle something done!

A very common sight when Lane is home and "babysitting"

Lane is doing really good at work! The 15 hour drive is getting old, but it helps that he had 2 other guys to help with the driving. So far it hasn't be too cold like last year in ND, but there just waiting for it to hit and freeze them! He is moving up in the company and really enjoying the job itself!!

Haloween!!

This year for Haloween Lane was gone working so it was just "k" and I. A couple weeks ahead of time we went to the pumkin patch and took a hay ride to get pumpkins. We also got to ride in a "cho cho" which was alot of fun! This is the first year I have been at my own place for haloween. I'm usually always back in Escalante! So it was kindof intersting. I live in a nice neighborhood and appartently a popular one because I ran out of candy quick. I was answering the door ever 10 seconds for about 4 hours if not longer. It was crazy, but alot of fun! Kenadie caught on quick , so when the doorbell would ring she would beat me to the door. She knew I would kneel down so the little kids could get some candy, so everytime I did that she would take some candy for herself also! So cute! She was the cutest candy corn witch ever! I went back and forth with different costumes but just decided this was easiest and pretty cute!! We walked to our neighbors to trick or treat and thats about all be did, we hurried back home to be able to give out more candy! Overall it was pretty fun!




She found the bowl of candy!!

Painting pumpkins!

I was terrible and didn't get any pics during Thanksgiving!! Lane was also working during that time so I headed to Tuscon, AZ with my sisters and mom to see all my moms family! It has been quite a while since I have been back there and it was my grandmas frist time seeing Kenadie, along with all my cousins and aunts and uncles!! It was alot of fun to see them! Kenadie and Dylan are the only little kids around so they got SO MUCH attentions and LOVED every minute of it! K did really well with the long drive but on the way home it was a terrible long trip! We pulled over and changed clothes countless times from her being car sick!! We were so ready to be home!!
