My mom recently returned home from her mission in Nauvoo, so I am taking a last-minute trip to Utah for her homecoming and to spend some time with her. After furiously packing and getting ready all day yesterday, we headed off this afternoon for the 12-hour trek. Kensley started getting fussy because she was sick of being in her car seat so I gave her a little bowl of dark chocolate peanut m&m's. They worked like magic and she was happy and content for several minutes. Next thing I know, she has thrown up all over herself and the carseat. I had to drive like that for another 15 minutes because we were in the middle of nowhere with no place to stop. I am paranoid about pulling over on the side of the road. She was sad and miserable until I pulled out the camera and then she was all smiles.
I used almost an entire package of baby wipes getting her and the car seat clean. It was a very discusting process with throw up in every nook and cranny imaginable. Now there is a faint dark chocolate m&m throw up aroma in my car. Yuck!
We drove into Vernal the other day to give the kids something to do. Kensley was so excited to play at the park, we practically had to drag her away. She dozed off on the drive over and I was all prepared to sit in the car and let her sleep, but the second we drove up, she started yelling "get out! get out" and ran straight for the swing. Her cousin, Kali, was so nice to spend so much time pushing her so that I didn't have to. :o)
Here are a few highlights from Kensley's 2-year pictures. They turned out so cute, I don't know how to choose a favorite!! If anyone needs pictures taken, check out forgetmenotbyjana.com. She did a great job!
I love this sad face. Kensley was upset because she wanted to get in the water!
I bought this container to hold all Kensley's little toys with little parts. Her favorite thing to do is dump out the entire contents on the floor and then climb in! She is very proud of herself.
