Kenleyisms
I got in trouble from my hubby because I haven't posted a blog since last week. I'm not sure why he was complaining. He is here in this house and sees the things that I type about firsthand. I guess he just enjoys reading my stories....awwww, he's such a sweetie!! Okay, truthfully it's probably because he would rather read them than actually listen to me tell them. :)
I know that my last post was about Kenley, and possibly the post before that one, as well. Before anyone thinks that I pick favorites or love her more, rest assured that is not the case. It's just that lately she has been extremely funny...and she can't read yet like my other two so she doesn't know that I am talking about her. Seriously, I have decided that she is either going to drive me insane or keep me young from laughing so much. She is just like my sister, which is a really scary thought. I have said that many, many times, but it is completely true. It's gotten so bad that if you were to ask Kenley who she acts like she will say Aunt Kem without even thinking about it. Here are just a few things that Kenley has done that has kept us entertained for the last few days.
* She has learned to belch. Loudly. My sister is famous for this. She finds it extremely funny. I guess it's just the shock factor of this really loud noise coming from such a small person. In the past, whenever Kenley would burp she would get really embarrassed and politely say excuse me. Not anymore. Maybe after staying two nights with Momo in one week with Aunt Kem, some of Aunt Kem's habits rubbed off on my little Kenley. The other day, she got a drink of Dr. Pepper (and you know what Dr. Pepper does) and out came this really loud noise. I looked at Kenley to see if she would get embarrassed because let me tell you that one was a doozy! She laughed. She rolled in the floor and laughed. I walked into the living room this afternoon to find her taking little sips of a soda and opening her mouth really wide just hoping a loud one would come flying out. When I told my sister of this her reply was, and I quote "Haha! I taught her that. I love her."
* Kenley came home Saturday after spending Friday night and most of Saturday with my mom. She had a new phrase. I was eating this stroganoff stuff that Krista had fixed and Kenley wanted to know what I was eating. I told her what it was and showed it to her. Then, I asked her if she wanted some. She wrinkled up her nose and said, "ewww...ethnic food. I don't like ethnic food." She learned that one from my mom.
* This year at church we stared a new program called Team Kids on Wednesday nights. It's a really cool program. They learn bible verses, play games, different little things. They also get play money for doing different things....wearing their Team Kids shirt, bringing their bible, saying the verse, bringing a friend, etc. Then, they get to spend their money at the Team Kids store. Tonight, was store night. Kenley racked up! She had missed the last time we had store night so she had lots and lots of money to spend. She picked out a baby doll. Well somehow while they were playing, the baby's head got pulled partially out of it's little body. Kenley ran into the room where I was and she was all upset. The words just flew out of my drama queen's mouth, "Someone RIPPED her head off. She's RUINED. She's just RUINED!!"
* Tonight before leaving for church, she was looking around for her phone. I told her she didn't need it and that it was time to go. She looked at me very serious, held up her hand, and told me to wait. She needed to send a text.
Did I mention that she wants a belly ring? She is serious about this, too. She also wants a tattoo (a real one) just like Aunt Kem, and also some lipstick of her very own. My mom gave her some lipstick of her very own. I'm afraid to find out what my sister gets her. It might be something permanent.

Partially Wordless Wednesday
I was going to do another Wordless Wednesday 'cause I am just covered up with work. Then, I decided I wanted to say a few words instead. Imagine that! I woke up this morning to Kenley knocking on my bathroom door. It seems she had locked herself in there. The door wasn't too hard to get open (thank goodness) with the use of one of Kenley's hair barrettes. While I was getting it open, she informed me that she had "borrowed" my lipstick. I was a little worried on what I was going to find....
It's kind of hard to see in the picture, but she had this brownish color all over her face and hands. I am not sure what make-up she used for this exactly. She had drawn her some lovely eyebrows and had this really pretty red smile...all around her mouth. She was a sight, let me tell you!

Pirate King Nate!
Got this picture text today from Bro. Mike which was a pleasant surprise! It's Nathan performing in the 2nd grade musical for the high school. He's the king pirate...or pirate king, whichever you want to call it. They needed an older boy to play the part, so Mrs. Wallace (his music teacher) asked Nate to help them out. Performance for the "public" is tonight and elementary school tomorrow!
Shhhh...She's Not Saying!
Kenley-girl has a secret. So far, she hasn't spilled that secret like most 3-yr-old kids would do. In fact, she is very tight-lipped about it and will only let us know it is about rainbows and it is a secret she has with my mom. I am very intrigued by this....mostly because my mother has NO IDEA what the secret is!!!
Kenley spent the night with my mom and dad Tuesday night. Shaun is trying to go back to school and needed to run to Memphis on Wednesday to visit a school. I had to work, and Kenley-girl has been wanting to spend a "Momo night" so off she goes with my parents. She woke up early Tuesday morning and the first thing out of her mouth was..."I'm going to have a Momo night today!!!" Mom and dad had some errands in Jonesboro and were not real sure on when they would be by to pick her up. I can tell you this, my girl is not very patient. At one point, she took my face in her hands and calmly asked me, "When are they going to get HERE???" Finally, they arrived to pick her up and off she goes with her Going To Grandma's suitcase and princess backpack full of toys and books.
She got home Wednesday and informed me that she did not miss me and she wanted to go back. I think I would be a little hurt by this if I didn't love it so much! This is how a grandchild is supposed to be with the grandparents! I remember spending so much time with my own "Momo" and those memories are some of the best that I carry with me to this day.
It wasn't long after her arrival back home that I learned that she had a secret. I was a little concerned at first when I couldn't drag it out of her...I mean when I calmly asked her if she would like to share with mommy. I tried to get her to tell me, but she would only tell me NO! I called my mom to see if maybe she could clue me in. She had no idea what the secret might be. I asked my mom if Kenley had spent a lot of time alone with her Aunt Kem and frantically tried to check her belly button for any piercings. I asked Kenley if her Aunt Kem told her the secret....no. Uncle Derrick.....no. Did Momo? YES, was her reply with a very devilish grin. She never would tell me what her secret was, only that it had to do with rainbows. When I ask her if she is ready to tell me, the only answer I get is, "Not yet."
Someday, I might find out what her secret is. For now, I guess she is going to leave us all in the dark....even my mom, her secret sharing pal.

Getting To Know Me Made Simple
I started a MySpace shortly after Kenley was born, but very seldom ever even looked at it. Bit by bit, I got hooked. I was on it all the time. That's not really a bad thing because I reconnected with my best pal on there. At one point, I posted a blog. Months went by and I posted another. Sometimes, it would be posts right after the other and then other times it would be a couple of months between each one. I finally got pulled over to the Facebook crowd and in the process I pretty much lost interest in MySpace.
However, I learned something from MySpace....I love to blog. I love to talk....on and on and on about silly little things that most people probably wouldn't find interesting. I just have this really odd sense of humor. I admit it. Some of the funniest things I can think of, most people just find weird, not funny, but weird. With blogging though, I can "talk" and "talk" and "talk" until I run out of words. Unlike with real conversations though, if I realize afterward that I shouldn't have said something...I can just go back and delete my post. That fits me perfectly because a lot of the time, I say things that make no sense and wish I could just go back and delete a conversation I had. I know when most people have a conversation with me they wonder what in the world I am talking about and most of the time I probably do not seem to be the brightest bulb in the shoebox. This just eliminates me feeling like a goofball later on when I am thinking about what I said.
I had some blogs on Myspace that kind of explain a few things about my life. I thought at first I would just post a link to my MySpace profile and those that were interested could check out my past blogs, but then I realized not everyone has a MySpace and well, to be honest that would just be kind of weird. I didn't want to take the time to type out the important stuff again....again, I will be honest and just say that I am too lazy. So, I thought I would just copy and paste the ones that I thought might have information that would kind of explain some things later on with this blog. See....I told you, if you get me talking, I prove that I am not the sharpest tack in the classroom! That is my reasoning for posting the last several post....one quick way of getting to know me.
