Sneak Peek!

Puppies like saltines
Puppies read books in bed

Puppies read the newspaper

Well as some of you know the puppy costume that I wanted was out when I went back to get it and I was really disappointed. Today we stopped at a new place that had some costumes and Kenady found a dalmatian puppy she liked. They recommended you try them on since you could not return them. So as soon as I put it on her she got on all 4's in the store and started acting like a puppy. I said okay honey we will get this now lets take it off and get in line. Well, there was no taking off the costume she had to wear it out of the store and into the car. It is now almost 3 hrs later and she will not take it off.

Hawks' 8-0

Kenady decided to have some friends over for the big Hawkeye game Saturday night. I got to cuddle up to all the cutie patooties.

20 Month Beauty!

Which pumpkin do I pick?

More money please!

Pretending to be a goat!

Today Kenady is 20 months old already! I can't believe how fast it has gone and how fun being a mom has been. Today we went to the pumpkin patch and they also had a petting zoo. Her favorite was feeding the animals--or should I say giving mom or grandma the food and we fed the animals while she laughed. This month Kenady is trying to master the potty. We have had a few successful tries but haven't quite mastered it yet. Her favorite food this month is fruit snacks. She still is really into her mega blocks and has been reading a lot more this month. We also have her brother or sisters room ready so she has been trying out the rocking chair and making sure everything works in there. Oh one other thing she started doing this month which I love is she will come up to me and grab my cheeks and kiss me right on the lips and then give me the biggest hug. How lucky am I?!?!?

I can't help it!

I'm sure everyone who reads Kenadys blog doesn't really care if she is going poopy in the potty, but we are on week two and she is just cracking me up. Today she made Nick get off and wanted on so she could read a magazine. As I'm typing this she currently has 6 pairs of underwear on and thats it. She was so mad when we finally made her get off the toilet since she was just reading and it was time to eat. All she wants to do is wear big girl underwear and sit on the toilet. Keep your fingers crossed and hopefully we won't have to babes in diapers! :)

Happy Birthday Aunt Trista

We went out to mom and dad's today to celebrate Aunt Trista's birthday. We had a yummy lunch but it was most fun to watch Kenady and Madilyn play together!!

Hawk Fans!

It's been an exciting couple of weeks at the Kane household. With the Hawks now being 6-0 we have a very happy daddy around. Every weekend Kenady gets in her Hawk gear and helps chear them on. Without her Hawk gear I'm sure the Hawks would not be doing as good. This weekend we decided that Kenady and I would stay home in the warm house while dad went tailgating and sit outside for the game. I think it would have been fun to go, but something about sitting home in your pajamas in a warm house snuggled up to your little girl won hands down of being the better option. We also got to spend the afternoon with Grandma and she took us to a neat little tea room for lunch. Kenady then got to go back and get check out some of the pumpkins from grandpas pumpkin patch. She kept picking the littlest ugliest pumpkins. We also worked on getting Kenady potty trained. She hasn't quite figured out that you only need to wear one pair of panties at a time. She likes to put them all on at once. What a silly girl!!

Poopy in the Potty

So I just realized I skipped Kenady's 19 month update on the 20th. October came way to fast. This month Kenady is crazy as ever. She is really loving her new house and thinks every room is her room. As far as her favorites this month I would have to say her mega blocks and cherry tomotoes. She really likes to build stuff with her blocks she got from the Cutsforths. She also has found a new favorite food...cherry tomatoes from Gma Mary's garden. She just gobbles them up!! Today was a big day because she took a poopy in the potty and mommy had to do the poopy dance which Kenady was very impressed. We had just got home and she brought me the wipes. I said honey you don't have a dirty diaper and she took me to the bathroom and we got on her Dora seat. Sure enough she took a poopy. Have a roll of toilet paper later she was done and I was so proud!!! My girl is just growing up to fast!

I love Bath Time

Tonite our kickball team got their first win of the season we are 1-1. Go Dunder Mifflin! I chased around Kenady while Nick ran around the bases. Nick and Kenady got home and were tired and thought they needed a bubble bath before bed. They are super silly!

Daughter like Father

Thursday nights is Nick's golf night with the guys so Kenady and I usually just relax and do girl stuff. Tonite I think she missed her dad. We got home and she started looking for Nick in all the rooms saying Dad Dad Dad. Then I told her that daddy was golfing. We went downstairs to play and she decided it was her night to golf also. She got in her Ball Pit and used her golf club to hit all the balls out. Then after she brushed my hair and tried to put pony tails in my hair she decided that was enough girl stuff and she needed to work on her Lion car. I have no idea where she was hiding a screw driver, but she found one and started working on her Lion car like she knew what she was doing. I don't think she has decided yet if she wants to be a Tom Boy or a girly girl. I think she likes the best of both worlds!

Lovin the Lake!

This is the only pic I got of my cutie patootie Lauren--she loves me!

Good morning sleeping heads--Kenady watching cartoons with her friends!

This last weekend we went down to our friend Shan's families lake house in Missouri. We had a great time and it was fun to spend some time with our friends and their kids. It seems like we spend less time together now that we all have kids, but I thought it was fun to see them all and play with them. We are lucky to have great friends and I can't wait to watch all the kids grow up together!

18 Month Beauty!

Okay before I even start I know I've been slacking at blogging---but it's been a crazy last couple months. First and for most as you can see below we are expecting and super excited!! 2nd we just moved into our new house and are trying to get settled! 3rd--probably the biggest reason of all I can't find my stupid battery charger for my camera. I'm bound and determinded to find it this weekend or I'm heading to best buy to get a new battery or camera!

So this month about my little beauty--she just keeps getting cuter and cuter and more fun to be around. She loves and I mean loves her new house! She gets to run around on a little more than an acre, has a new swing set and finally gets all her outside toys out to play with. Kenady will pretty much every night go stand by the door till we go outside. She has even started bringing us our shoes. She is really starting to talk more lately and even making sense! We have also attempted putting her on her princess potty chair a couple of times but she would rather just put her babies in the potty. We are going to start getting a little more serious about it now that we are a little more settled in because she has been wanting to take her diaper off and then goes and stands in the bathroom and usually pees on the floor. Which is awesome. Anyways---it's been another great month and can't wait to see what she does this month!!

Big Sis

Well we are at the half way point of #2 baby Kane to arrive. Kenady is going to be an awesome big sister. Kenady is so sweet with little kids (littler than her I guess). We are all really excited. I've been feeling really good and getting anxious to meet our next adventure. We have a brand new house that they will be able to run around and grow up at so that makes me even more excited! They will be just about 2 years apart-I'm due in January and Kenady is going to be 2 in February. We are looking for name suggestions so send them our way...both boy and girl since we aren't going to find out again!

Last Night at 234 Desoto

Well it's about 10:20 and in about 24 hours I will no longer live at 234 Desoto Ave. As excited as I am for our new adventure I can't stop thinking of all the memories we've had at this house. This was Nick and I's first home together so it will always have a special place in my heart. I remember coming here after our honeymoon and realizing I live in a house with my husband and didn't think life could get any better. Until about 2 years later when we brought our sweet baby Kenady home. This house has a lot of firsts for us and even though I know we are moving onto bigger and better things I'm a little sad to go. I know Nick will not like the pic I posted but it just reminds of all the times we've snuggled in our little house as a family and how far we've come. So cheers to Desoto and look out Hudson!

17 Months Old!

Dad I need more tooth paste!

Kenady turned 17 months old yesterday. She is growing up so fast. This month she enjoys being outside--she will go to the door if you say outside and gets really excited. Her favorite toy this month is defiantly her Barbie Jeep--she would sleep in it if we let her. She has also started to take her own diaper off when she needs to go to the bathroom which always an experience. I can tell she is starting to understand what we say to her. She doesn't always listen, but she knows what we are saying. She also had to go to timeout for the first time this month because she bit one of the day care kids. She did not like it when I told Grandpa. She also got a new purse this month at the zoo--it has a little puppy in it. She likes to carry it all around. She is quite the diva! There was so many favorites this month it is hard to put in one blog, but one of the funniest is her obsession with brushing her teeth.

Kenady's 1st "Hair Cut"

Kenady had her stylist from Austin, TX over for her 1st hair cut on Friday. I've been wanting one of my best friends, Tara to be the first to cut Kenady's hair. Tara has her own shop in Austin and whenever I see her (which is not enough) I get a haricut from my favorite stylist. We decided to cut Kenadys hair in her jeep because that is one of the few places where she will sit still. She sat really good, but I just couldn't handle it. Kenady is just growing up to fast for me. I only let her clip a little from the back . I decided I wanted to grow her bangs out because if she is anything like her mom she will look silly with bangs.

Kenady wins the Cool Cat Award!

Kenady thought she was cool that she wore these glasses while she ate dinner last night. This kid cracks me up more and more everyday!

Happy Birthday Gma Shirley!

We spent most of the day laughing!

Kenady and Grandma Mary's Favorite--the penguins

Studying the fish tank!

This last weekend we had a busy weekend. We had a 95th birthday party for Grandma Shirley and went to the zoo in Des Moines. Grandma Mary, Kenady, and I headed to Des Moines after the birthday party. We did some shopping and then hit the hotel pool. Kenady did really good-she is really liking swimming. She would giggle when the big kids would splash. She thought it was funny to do water boat and kept dipping her face in the water. She did not want to get out! Sunday we woke up and had some breakfast and headed to the Blank Park Zoo. It was so much fun watching Kenady with the animals. She loved the sea lions and the penguins the best I think. She wasn't so sure about the monkeys--I think they reminded her of her dad. We also had a lot of fun in the petting zoo part of the zoo. She got real close to feed the animals and thought it was funny when mommy got scared. She even took a bite of the fish food to make sure it was good enough. What a silly girl--can't wait to go back again!

Kenady and Maddie's 1st Beer Party

Happy 4th of July-the girls look spent...

Jammin in her new Jeep

Well today Kenady got an anniversary present for mom and dad. She got a Barbie Jammin Jeep! Nick took it out of the box before he went golfing and she was not happy that he left and did not finish assembling it. When Nick got back from golf he got it together and Kenady listened to music while sitting in her jeep. She hasn't figured out the gas yet, which is probably a good thing. She probably would have stayed in it all night if we would have let her. I think this will be a lot of fun at our new house in the next couple of years!

Kenadys first Battle Wound

Well we just got back from Urgent Care from our first battle wound. Kenady was trying to pull some toys out of the corner and the lamp fell on her head. The corner of the lamp made a gash in her head and started bleeding. I of course started crying while trying to through some frozen food on her head. Nick held her while we drove to Urgent Care and by the time we were in the waiting room she wanted to walk around and play. They ended up glueing her wound back together instead of getting stiches. She was a tough girl a lot tougher than Mom!!
