18 Months

Well Kennedy has hit 18 months old.  I can't say this enough, but man time sure flies.  OK I know you all are probably expecting pictures.  But they are coming.  I am on Blake's computer.  Mine is having a moment.  

I took Kennedy in for her 18 month appoint and all is very well.  She is growing but at Kennedy speed.  Her 18 month stats.

Height:  29 inches

(4% - and she has hit the charts again

finally. In between her 1 year appointment

and this 18 month appointment she has

gained 3 inches in height.  Which as you

know is a ton for Kennedy.)

Weight:  18 lbs.

(by the way dont fall off your chair. 

She is less than 1%.   As for weight she

still does not make the charts.  And since she

has not reached 20lbs.  She is still in her

infant seat.  HAHA)

I mention that she is still in her infant seat.  For those of you who don't know it is now recommended to keep you infant in their infant seat rear facing as long as possible.  Kennedy doesn't fight it, so I just leave her in it. And she does not meet the requirements to change.  But the other day I got thinking when she happened to fall asleep in her car seat that I have it pretty sweet still because - how many people still can carry their 18 month old in their car seat.  Most have already switched to their next car seat.  Nope not us. When she is asleep, we still have the convenience of just taking out the car seat.  I am getting used to taking her car sear every and this has been going on for 18 months now, her infant seat will be surely missed when we have to switch over to a bigger car seat.  

Cabin with the Stoker's

Okay, I know I know...but here comes all those blog entries that I should have been blogging about over the summer. 

First we headed to our cabin with Blake's family.  It was pretty fun.  We went up on a friday night and came home on a sunday.  Mark, Heidi, and Jet came up for the day on saturday.  Unfortunately, it wasn't the best weekend to be at the cabin.  It RAINED off and on the whole time.  But that is what makes all the trips to the cabin so fun.  They are usually very different.  

All the adult kid took the four wheelers for a ride to the top.  We raced off course.  That was one cold ride.  On the way back Ryan, Blake's oldest brother, thought it would be funny if we raced.  So I totally fell into his trap.  Hook-line-and-sinker.  As we raced, up a head there was a mud puddle that I did not see.  And he came into the puddle and got Blake and I muddy.  Well mostly Blake.  It was fun.  I tried to get him back but I just wasnt very good at hitting the puddle at the right time.

Later than night we played Minute to win it.  We had to roll three pieces of toliet paper up in towers all of different heights.  You had a minute to pick them all up.  Oh, by the way you had to do it with your mouth.  It was a bit tough, but way fun. 

Finally on sunday morning the boys convinced Robyn to ride a four wheeler by her self.  Jim and her headed out.  I think she had more fun than she would like to admit. 

Other random photos from the weekend.
