Kennedy strikes again....LOL

So what can I say...My Kennedy...that should sum that right on up!! She makes me laugh..and want to hide on a daily basis. I cant even fathom where she comes up with some of the stuff she says!! Yesterday...She and I made a quick trip to Broulim's for a few things. After getting our stuff, I was really thirsty and was looking in the cooler at the cold drinks. Grabbed a Arizona Green Tea. Love em. Ok and I did ask 2 Bishops and they said it was ok to drink. If any of you know something different please please let me know! I dont drink them very often but am trying to stay clear of soda. Anyway...it came in one of those tall cans. Kennedy looked at me all confused and frankly a little pissy and here is how our conversation went...
Kennedy -"Ummm mom...you can NOT drink that!!"
Me- "Why?"
Kennedy-" Cause we dont drink beer...DUH!!!"
Me-"Well good thing this isnt beer then huh"
Kennedy-"Well what the crap is it then?" yeah I know...LOL
Me-"Its green tea"
Kennedy (after deep thought) "Ohhh mom...you cant drink that either!!!"
Me-"Its ok..I asked the bishop and they said green tea is ok to drink"
Kennedy-"Ohh..you sure? I dont want you to get in trouble"
Me-"Im pretty sure"
So we go and are checking out and when the cashier rang up the drink...I knew something was coming...
Kennedy-"Hey lady..my mom can drink that...the bishop said its ok..she wont get in trouble..dont worry"
Ohhh the life of Kennedy's mom!!! Never a dull moment!!!

Beets...Potatoes..and Peas oh my!!!

Yeah!! Look my very first harvest from my very first solo garden!! Sweet eh. We didnt get hardly any peas. Wondering if all that crappy weather we had in the beginning of summer had something to do with it. Curse you storms LOL. So I am just hoping I can convince my son and hubby that veggies are good for you!! LOL Here's to hoping I guess. I was pretty happy with myself that I did get stuff to grow. I was convinced that nothing was going to!! But walla...some tasty veggies. And I did all the planting, watering and weeding all by my lonesome. Except for rototilling which my awesome father in law, Mike, did for me. Cause well..that maching scares the crap out of me!! So thanks Mikey!!

Fun at the Water Park in Boise...



We were in Boise last weekend for some doctor appointments for Chris. Man it was HOT there. We took the kids to a park that had a little "water park" thing next to it. It was a blast!! The kids had soo much fun. We went there a few times during the weekend!! Kaity was even getting brave and trying to stand on her own!!!! It was soo much fun!!!

Surgery Round 2!!


Well once again were doing some sort of surgery!! My little Kaitlynn had her second round of tube surgery yesterday. 2 times in under a year better be the trick!!! The doc said her ears were horrible. So atleast we did the right thing. Now I am hoping that the poor little thing will feel better finally and decide maybe to walk!!! The last few pics cracked me up..she is totally doped up right before they took her back. She was soo funny. I think they should prescribe that meds to all parents!! hehehe j/k (maybe!!)

Advice???

Well not much has been happening..well interesting anyway. The only thing I was thinking about putting on here is wanting to know if anyone had any advice for me about my Kennedy. She is struggling with being the middle child and I am not sure how to help her right now. Kennedy is very much the alpha female anyway...but she is really struggling with something lately. She has started pulling her hair out!!! In chunks. I feel so bad. I just dont know what to do for her. Her behavior has also been worse then normal LOL. And she has been starting to be a bit mean to Kaitlynn. Pinching her and smacking the back of her head when she thinks no one is looking. Taking toys away and yelling at her. I want to help Kennedy, to make her feel better. But at the same time I have to protect Kaitlynn and I cant let Kennedy get away with being so mean. I feel like she needs to be disaplined for her wrong behavior, but dont know how to do it when it comes to what she has done if it involves the baby because that seems to be her sore spot anyway. Soooo UGH. I am kind of at a loss. So any advice would help.
