Kenzi is potty training!!


OK, so Kenzi is potty training. And in order to give her incentive we made a chart and she got fun stickers to put on the chart. And she is doing great at going potty on the toilet, she has gotten to the point that she will now go potty every time she sits on the potty. Well she filled her chart in about two weeks and it had 20 boxes, with every fifth one being a "prezzi". So the 20th one said HOCKEY! To catch everybody up... Kenzi LOVES hockey. Carter has a book about hockey that she wants read to her every night. She know Mario Lemieux, Zamboni, and even the Stanley Cup! Well, Carter started checking on tickets for hockey and the season is quickly coming to an end for both the professional team and the AAA team in Frisco. The only day we could actually see a game before the end of the season and going out of town was a Stars vs Kings game. the tickets were a lot more than we had anticipated spending. So Carter said he was going to talk to Mackenzie. So the conversation starts with Daddy saying "Kenzi you can either go to a hockey game or you can take the TRAIN to the Zoo and see the animals". (Other side note: Kenzi asks to ride the train, an airplane, and a horse every day! Also, whenever she gets asked what she is going to dream about she says a Giraffe.) Kenzi takes a moment, puts her finger to her chin and looks Carter straight in the eye and says "Take the train to see hockey!" Of course Carter tries again and she comes up the same answer. To which Carter goes "OK, so we will take the train and go to the Zoo then. That sounds good honey." Kenzi: "NO, take train to see HOCKEY!" So... way to go Kenzi on potty training! Now we have progressed to Kenzi gets a sticker when she tells Mommy and Daddy when she needs to go potty. We will see how long this takes! Later! Kari

Snow Day in Texas


Yes, I meant Snow Day in Texas!! While we do not get snow often we do get a little bit. Kenzi liked playing in it. She kept telling me it was cold. Of course it does not always look this beautiful, but we loved it this day! And ofcourse it was to warm to keep it around long. It was pretty much gone by the end of the day! Enjoy the pictures! Kari
