Kenna the Builder

Well....Kenna has recently grown an interest and liking for Bob the Builder. Which is funny because we were talking to Keith on the phone the other night and we started singing the theme song. He was "Since when does Kenna like Bob the Builder?" And I said since you left!! Funny how kids likes and dislikes change so often. One minute they love PB&J and the next they hate it. Most days I can deal with the inconsistency.....but since Keith has been gone...I will have to say there are a few days where it drives me batty. Anyway.....Kenna now likes Bob and I happened to luck into a Bob costume at a garage sale the other day! Yeah! Cna't beat that for $1!! I added it to our dress up closet along with a dinosaur and UPS driver costume! All three costumes for $4!! I LOVE bargains!

*Note* No I did not dirty her face up so it would add to the construction worker look.....she did all of that on her own!! Believe me she needs no help getting a dirty face!!

Day at the park

The other day I took the kids to the America the Beautiful Park. It is a really cool park here in Colorado Springs....I wish it was a little closer....but still worth it!~ They have a really cool water fountain that the kids can play in and they LOVE it!! Konner was tired (once again) and was falling asleep in the swing (one of his FAVORITE things in the park) Kenna wouldn't fall asleep any where other than her bed if you paid her in fruit roll ups. They both never stop moving.....difference is Konner poops out occasionally and Kenna NEVER does! haha!

Happy Father's Day Sweetie!
We wish Keith was here for Father's Day....this is his 2nd one in a row to miss....last year he was in Iraq. So for his gift I have been working on making a movie/slideshow of the kids. So here are a few of the pics included on the slideshow. It turned out really cute!!

Poor baby has been so tired lately....he must be going through a growth spurt. We came home from the store and I put him on the ground so I could turn off our alarm.....and came back around the corner to see him asleep :o) How sweet.

all alone

This is the way Kenna insists on being taken to bed (by her dad....she tries to get me to do it.....fat chance! ha!)

What a sweet big sister, sharing her drink with her little brother and even holding it for him! ha!! All the while....she is watching tv.....what a girl.....multitasking!!

Well.....Keith left about 6 days ago for training in Alabama......for 6 weeks. It is going alot better than it did when he left for Iraq last summer I can tell you that for sure! It makes a big difference when the kids are older....mine are only 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 but it make soooo much of a difference. One big difference is that Kenna can verbalize a lot more this time.....and she gets on the phone and tells Keith she wants him to come home. Little does she know she has a long way to go :o( I put the phone up to Konner's ear and Keith started talking to him.....he lit up.....said Hi, backed away from the phone, looked at it and then leaned over and gave it a big smooch. It was the sweetest thing ever. If only I could get those smooches!! Haha! No.....it was super sweet. We are staying busy and trying to make the time go by faster. My mom should be coming to visit toward the end of Keith's leave. I am singing in a 4th of July "Freedom Celebration" and need her to help me with the kids so I can sing :o)

Konner once again can not stand or sit any where that you are "suppose too.....so I caught him sitting in one of the drawers of our entertainment center. Won't be long before his tooshy won't fit into it anymore! haha!
