A Little Fun

Today while getting all the Halloween decorations out we had a little fun with the costumes!

Playing with the wigs

Leah Starts Soccer

Leah started soccer today and I am so excited because I get to coach her team...she was so excited she put all of her stuff on first thing in the morning!  Then I had to listen to her all day ask if it was time to go yet.  It was a long day because practice did not start until 4:30.  She had fun doing all the drills and was really worn out by the end of practice.  

 

Leah was excited when these arrived in the mail

Ohhhh, To Be a Spice Girl!

We had a talent show at church and I have always considered myself to be one with many talents...this is one talent that has now been added to the list.  Dressing up like an old lady (Sporty Spice) and doing a lip sinc to the Spice Girls!  All I can say is...EPIC!  Here is a link to the video.

Helping Grandma!

My mom had back surgery a few weeks ago so the girls and I decided to head to Utah for a week to help out.  So actually, I went and helped out and Travis's mom was more than happy to play with the kids since I didn't want to tempt my mom with holding them and playing with them and possibly hurting her back.  Sorry Mom!  Don't worry, I did let them play at my mom's a little.

Kenzie loved the stairs

Leah did too

Playing in grandma's yard

 

 Grandma Heidi and Grandpa Kim totally spoiled the girls, as you can see from the next pictures!!  It was pretty hard when we had to leave to convince them to come home with me.

 I just have to say...my mom is one of the toughest women I know!  I worked as an aide in physical therapy while going through college and I have never seen someone recover so fast.  Great job mom! 

Kenzie 11 Months Old

Kenzie is 11 months old and growing like a weed!  She stands up against the furniture and can even maneuver around as long as she is holding on to something.  She now has 2 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth and many more on the way.  As you can tell from the pictures her gums are completely swollen and there is no way to stop all the drool!

Playing peek-a-boo

Saguaro National Park

We decided to take a little trip down to Tucson for Labor Day weekend.  While there we visited Saguaro National Park and saw a LOT of cacti!  As we were driving around Leah would suddenly yell "STOP, look another cactus!"  As you can imagine, this was being yelled every minute or so.  If you have ever wanted to see a bunch of different cacti...your wait is over!!  Here are several pictures:

 

 

The "headless" cactus

Travis educating Leah, she loves learning new things

I love that the cacti bloom and grow flowers, it really is a cool sight.  We had fun trying to spot different colors of flowers.  

The neatest thing to me is that cacti can grow fruit, and the candy they make with it is delicious!

There were many different trails to hike and we had fun exploring the, trying to catch lizards, and watching the birds.
