Cookies by Kenzie

I had some "writing icing" that was given to me, so I figured Kenzie could try it out. (Product review: those things are harder to use than a piping bag! I was squirting icing everywhere!) Kenzie did great, though. Parker yelled at us until we gave him one. Then he ate two more.
This one is my favorite that Kenzie did!

Rhythm of the Night

I really hate this song, but it's growing on me now that Parker loves to dance to it!

Kisses!

My little boy has started blowing kisses! It sure makes everything worthwhile...

Busy Boy

Parker is so close to walking. He's officially at one step each attempt, but I'm sure I'll be updating that status in the very near future. Here are some random Parker pictures that your life would not be complete without:
Getting the whole drive-and-eat thing down so he can be a good American boy
Sitting in his container of cars while yelling "broo!"
Too busy checking out everything to notice his sister giving him a hug

Kenzie's Photography

I think it's funny when Kenzie borrows my camera, because I never know what to expect.
Or how many pictures she will take. I didn't bother downloading the 10 close-ups of the floor or the five of her teddy bear, though. Maybe next time.

Ball Pit

Parker has learned to climb this week - he climbs the stairs, he climbs up onto Kenzie's bed, he climbs up into chairs, you get the idea. I'm busy. On a whim the other day I went to buy some balls for the kiddie pool. I hadn't intended on creating a fun playpen for Parker, but I was happy with the result! (For a day, at least, until he discovered how to climb out!) Well, 200 balls is obviously nowhere near enough for a true ball pit. But for now, it has kept both kids happy, and we'll gradually buy some more.
Yes, he's growling at the balls before diving in again.

Farmer's Market

This is twice in one week the word "farm" has appeared in a post of mine in one form or another. Very unusual... but anyways, this morning we went to downtown Salt Lake to the Farmer's Market. I envisioned just buying Kenzie a peach or something, but instead she stopped in the middle of traffic, transfixed. I had to pull her aside to see what was so interesting - turns out the little wavy tarp thing on top of the snow cone shack had caught her eye! So we went through the entire market and bought only a snow cone.
But, we did have fun joking we should buy a giant Eiffel Tower for the yard. Grandma and Grandpa can feel right at home when they come back from France! (Unless, of course, they're going to be picky about authenticity and claim the giant pinwheel was really red, or the large dragon should be on the left!)
