Kenzie's a Sponge

Our beautiful, smart daughter is at the age where she repeats anything and everything she hears; this is the part where we replace bad words with "tushy" and "gosh darn it."

She now knows the words, "sicko" and "jenga." OK, jenga is a different word so I'll explain why.  Do you remember the wood block stacking game, Jenga? Then I don't think I really need to explain further but I will. Kenzie loves stacking her wooden blocks, she's up to stacking about 12 now before they fall. When she gets to stacking that 13th block and they take a tumble I scream "JENGA!" and Kenzie get's all excited and screams it too. It's adorable!

John's responsible for "sicko." I couldn't tell you the entire story but I do know that it started during bath time over this past weekend. John was giving her a bath while I was cleaning up the living room, then all I hear is John say, "Ewwwww, don't do you that you sicko!" Then I hear Kenzie's sweet voice say, "sicko." *face palm*

We love her and her little voice! She's up to 14 now with counting, knows her ABC's (almost entirely) and can recognize most letters as well. We are so proud of her, she's very smart!

Here are some Mineer "mobile moments" for you to enjoy :)

Kenzie picked out her cowboy boots, once worn by her daddy!
Thanks Gramma Deane

You'll find Kenzie and Minnie snuggling on our bed :)

Kenzie and John found foam fingers at the craft store, they had a blast.

Mineer Mobile Moments - Take 3

I know, I know! It's been way too long since my last post. I am so sorry but we've been busy! We've moved, we've been working and then of course the holidays were just here! Cut me some slack, OK? :)

I was going to write up a cute little post with fun captions and stories but I'm tired, so here are some mobile moments I've captured along the way:

Helping "pack" with daddy.

Here are some more Mineer Mobile Moments, brought to you by Hillary's cell phone ;) 

Enjoy!

Kenzie is always prancing around on her toes, so for Halloween she was a Ballerina!

She and John were having a blast riding the carts at Target!

Kenzie was all dressed up to go and tour a new school! 

Mineer Mobile Moments

If you didn't know this about Kenzie, then you should; this girl is very fast! You've all seen the Coyote and Roadrunner show, right? That cartoon explains our daily activities: I try everything in my power to "take her down" (stop her before she does something harmful) but she's already moving onto her next act! She moves at super-speed, and I just cannot catch her.

Which brings me to the whole point of this blog - mobile moments. I really only have time to bring out my camera phone to snap a picture. The quality on most is absolutely atrocious, but the sentiment and heartfelt meaning is there. 

John and I took Kenzie to the mall one day, because in Arizona it's just too darn hot to walk around outside in August! They have 2 things Kenzie loves - 1) A play area, and 2) the Disney Store! 

We know she has a big love for Pooh so we decided to take her in and she immediately spots a giant Pooh, yep! It was love at first sight. We just couldn't possibly spoil her anymore. So Grandpa did! Thanks Grandpa ;)

We forgot to hit up the play area BEFORE we bought Pooh. Whoops! If you look closely in the picture, poor Pooh's feet are already dirty. Not even one hour after the purchase. Kenzie refused to let him go, so she drug him around the entire mall. So cute, so I whipped out my camera and snapped a quick shot for you! So cute, right? :)

I don't have a fun little story for this photo, it's just a very cute picture. We were just eating dinner one night when she noticed my camera. I take most of our pictures with it so she recognized what it was pretty quick and starts cheesin' it up with cute smirks and grins, plus she started squealing "CHEEEEEESE" at me. I had to act FAST to get this one good picture. She isn't one for holding still (surprised?). We're not! 

This is one of MANY Mineer Mobile Moments, so we hope you enjoyed it! Until next time, we send our love and hugs!! 

xoxox!
