Wildlife Prairie Park
We took the kids to Wildlife Prairie Park this past weekend. It was a great fall day to be out and about! We saw buffalo, wolves, dear, a skunk and elk. We tried to get some good pictures of the kids, but as usual, Kinley wasn't having it.....too many fun things to do. Nap time was calling after lunch so we had to head out. We hope to make it back for one of the Wildlife Scary Park weekends! :)

Happy 2nd Birthday Kinley Jo!!
We celebrated Kinley's 2nd Birthday on Saturday with family and friends. She loved her Minnie Mouse party theme and Minnie dress. She wasn't so sure about her Minnie balloon at first, but after a few minutes she was giving her hugs, high fives, and knuckles. :) I can't believe she is two already, it seems like only yesterday we were celebrating her 1st birthday. Please stop growing little miss! :)
What Kinley's been up to lately..... Kinley's favorite things are still her paci and blankie. We will work on taking the paci away here shortly now that she's two. She only uses it at bedtime and is even going without for naps at daycare. She loves to use the potty and will sometimes tell you when she has to go. We'll be hitting it hard now and hopefully we'll have her trained by the holidays!
She loves to sing songs and count.... She can count very well to 11....then we kind of forget twelve. We're working on colors and shapes, we have a few of those down, but they definitely need more work.
She is still a big talker....her newest thing this week is whenever you ask her to do something she says "Okaaaaaay"....like a total teenager with annoying parents. :)
This past Thursday Kinley and I went to Walmart to pick up groceries for the party. We walked down the isle with Halloween costumes and I was asking her what she wanted to be for Halloween. I told her maybe we could find a cute kitty costume. And she looked up at me with one eye closed and said "No, me pirate...arrrrrr" And has been stuck on being a pirate ever since. I think she got it from one of her Dora DVD's where she's a pirate...but she hadn't watched that video in forever. She doesn't even know what Halloween is, but she knows she wants to be a pirate.... :)

Labor Day Weekend
We had a great Labor Day Weekend! Saturday night we had a cookout with hot dogs and smores from the fire. It was all delicious, as Kinley would say. :) Riley and Matt were going to spend the night out in the tent, but Matt had a cold this weekend and we were afraid Riley was getting it too. So the warm house sounded better. :)
On Sunday we went to the Cornbelters game and it was so much fun. We had great seats right behind the Cornbelters dugout so Kinley got to roam a little and LOVED it. She was clapping and dancing the whole time. Riley got a baseball from one of the players so he thought that was pretty cool too. The kids did the bouncy houses and got their face painted. Kinley was excited to bounce, but once she got in there she only bounced on her bottom a little bit and was ready to get out. Matt asked her why she was done already and she said "I too little." We have no idea where she heard that or why she thought that. We took her to the one that was for little kids only. :)
Monday we went to the Labor Day Parade in Bloomington.....OMG...it was soooo long and there was soooo much candy!!! We ended up leaving about an hour and a half into it and I think it ended up being around 2 hours long. Yikes! :) Of course, I took the camera, but forgot my memory card.....uggg.

Last Week....
Nothing like a post a week later....but anyway.... Last week Kinley and I helped Audrey celebrate her 2nd Birthday! She was such a cute Birthday Girl and I can't believe they are already this old! Kinley wasn't on her best behavior, especially when Audrey was opening her gifts. Everything was "mine, mine" and me draging her away from Audrey. Ugg....the terrible twos are upon us. 
Once we were home from the party it was Dad's turn to entertain the kids... :)
Kinley got a Super Student Award at daycare. She went both #1 and #2 on the potty all in the same day. She was very excited to show off her award. Thanks Miss Melanie! :) The last several days at daycare she has been going every afternoon after nap and even a time or two in the morning. She is definitely catching on!
