Kynna's Hair Cut...

I came to the realization two weeks ago that Makynna's hair had to be cut (after vowing to myself that I would not cut it because it looks so cute long) but she will not let me comb it let alone put it in a ponytail or even a clip. And because it has been so hot I did not want to torture her with long hair. We tried taking her to the salon but you guessed it, she freaked! They couldn't even get close to her. So...one night while we were at Grandma and Papa Hovan's house I cut her hair. Yes, I did it myself. She was in the tub, we got her distracted with some toys...and I took one chunk off...she was not happy...then I calmed her down and got her distracted again...and took another chunk off...once again not so happy. It took four different attempts but we got it...most of it anyways. I took 3 inches off the back! Her hair was so beautiful. But she looks cute anyways. She has a few fly away pieces but it looks like I actually took her to a salon.


Before

After

Crazy few months...

I really have no excuse to not keeping my blog updated...well, other than a close to 2 year old, a full time night job, and morning sickness but those really aren't good reasons, are they!?!? We have been busy all around. Scott is working his butt off filling all the holidays his managers are taking as well as trying to keep up with Kynna and house work. I am doing about the same. Because of work schedules our poor house has been neglected. I only have one month left of work and then I will do my best to give it some tender love and care...which could take a while.

Kynna is doing great! She is almost two now. I cannot believe how smart she is...I know all parents say that but she pick things up so quickly. Her favorite thing; singing. She has a few favorite artists: Tom Petty, Michael Jackson, Snoop Dog, Shaggy, Jonny Cash, CCR and the list goes on. She can tell who is singing the songs and she knows most of the words to the songs. She only has to hear a song once or twice before she can pick up the words and the beat. It is quite amazing! Enough of me bragging about my precious little one. I had a minute before I need to go to bed. I have some new pics I will post soon.

Sleepy but we'll make it....

Okay, it has been some time since I have had the energy to stay up long enough to sit in front of the computer while Kynna is napping. I know word travels fast but in case you haven't heard; We are expecting again!!! We found out about 2 weeks ago. I am due Dec. 30, 2007.
So far not much for nausea but oh boy are the migraines bad! I am finding it tough trying to keep Kynna entertained all day and then going to work and working until late at night...I think this is a bad sign. I am not that far along and I feel like I am going to die of exhaustion. Oh well, just preparing me for the arrival of another I guess.
All here is good. Kynna has been different this past week. She is happy then two seconds later watch out! I guess she is just about 2 so I figured it was coming.
Scott has been keeping busy with work as well. Working days then he gets to entertain Kynna at night.
Chrissy (my older sister), Jake (her husband), and their three kids, Eliza, Daniel, and Rainey are all visiting for the week. They arrived Friday night. So far Kynna has been able to spend some time with her cousins but not too much.
We did family photos for the first time ever with EVERYONE here. Amazing! I cannot wait to see how they turn out. I am sure I will post some when they come in.
Well, I should get some stuff done while I have the energy and the munchkin is sleeping.

Family Time Continues...

Scott and I had decided last week that we were going to spend our days off together as a family and do as many indoor/outdoor activities as possible. Well, for a second week in a row we were able to get some good quality time in.
Monday we took a road trip to Calgary...not so successful. Kynna was not in the mood at all to be in a vehicle. When we finally made it to IKEA she threw her first ever tantrum in public. Wow was that fun. So we packed her up and headed her home.





Tuesday we did some cleaning inside and outside. Kynna played in what backyard we have. She had a blast. Earlier in the day I bought her a big blue ball. She chased it around the back yard, as well as the tire that her Dadad would roll. At one point in time she found a Bumble Bee. When is flew away, she searched the grass for it but, "Its Gone!" was all we could get.



We then took her to Henderson Park. There is a big grassy area in front of the "Japanese Gardens" that we set her free in. She ran and ran and ran and ran...then we walked the path a bit. Momom and Kynna were pretending to waddle like penguins...an older couple came up behind us and said, "We came to the lake for a walk. We never in our wildest dreams thought we would see penguins!" They asked Kynna if they could take her home because she was so cute, and what do you know she went to take the man's hand to go home with him. What a kid. After that we went for a cruise. We rolled down the windows, Dadad cranked the music and Kynna sang along. So all in all we had a good couple of days.

Family Day At The Park

Since Scott took the week after his birthday off we have had some awsome family time. Makynna has enjoyed having Momom and Dadad home all day. She has been playing so hard that for the past four days she has been taking 3 1/2 hour naps and then wanting to go to bed by 7 pm. We have been keeping her up later so that our days weren't as long but she still slept 11-12 hours every night.


On Monday we got to go to Henderson Park and play. We walked around the Lake a bit, kicked her ball on the grass, went on the swings, and the slide, played in the rocks and dirt...but the funnest of all was watching the ride-on lawnmower! The city was cleaning up all the leave and branches from the winter. They were collecting them into a big pile then had a vacuum attached to the garbage truck to suck it all in. It was quite interesting. We ended up watching them for about 20 minutes...and when we left, boy was Kynna upset...then we saw some puppies and all was good again.

Today we decided to get some yard work done. Scott mowed the lawn while Kynna and Momom watched. Then we started to collect all the garbage and debris in the back yard. Kynna helped dig dirt, roll a tire, collect bugbugs, and sweep off the deck. She had a blast but wasn't to happy when it was nap time though.

Happy Belated Birthday Dadad!!!!

Okay so I am slacking in the ability to wish Scott a Happy Birthday...well, on the blog anyways. From what I could tell Scott had a blast. We had the weekend planned to go Quading...seeing that is what We bought for him for his birthday...there was a group of 6 of us that were going out. Then last minute everyone cancelled dew to family things. So, Scott and I went by ourselves. It was a blast!!! We went to the Porcupine Hills. There was still some snow but it was 7 above when we got there and by the afternoon it was 14 above. There was tones of mud. I think I got the dirtiest out of the two of us...at one point I even ate some mud, "Mmmm, like it!" as Kynna would say. Anywho, me being the silly person I am, forgot to bring the camera. So we only got the aftermath. So here you all go. Scott's new baby...

This is the day we picked it up

This was Saturday, April 21, 2007
(Scott's Birthday)

Makynna also bought Dadad a birthday present.
She got him a green iPod shuffle

Well, the kiddo is asleep so I should get my butt in gear and do some house work.

My little Hoodlum

Makynna and Momom were doing laundry today. Makynna found one of her bugbug gloves...which she refused to wear in the winter...and just had to wear it today. There was one huge problem though, we could not find the other one! Soooo, we put a sock on her other hand. Wow! Who knew that gloves could be so much fun!?!?! She ran around the house all morning with a sock on one hand and a mitten on the other. She would pick up her cup of juice and very carefully place it in my hands saying, "Cawrful, Momom. HOT!" then walk away. I would place it on the table and a little while later she would come back, look at the cup pick it up, hand it back to me, and repeat herself. I am guessing her "gloves" were actually oven mitts?!?!?! Then we found the bugbug tuque and had to wear it as well. There are no words to describe how much I love this little girl, so here are some pictures so you can see for yourselves.

Now aren't you just in love with this little girl too?
(her dadad's not so bad either)
