Funny Face Girl

Kennedy is the queen of funny faces... I think she gets it from her daddy! She knows it makes everyone laugh so she tries harder and harder to make up sillier ones everyday. She's learned how to wink, well for the most part. Every once in a while she gets it with just one eye but usually its a both eye wink... so incredibly cute!!



I can never get the camera to go quite quick enough when she is doing her winkies so here is an almost wink.

There's a winky!
I had to use the sport quick shutter speed on the camera so there is no flash.

She got lots of new toys at the garage sale last weekend and she just loves her play table.
She also likes sitting like a big girl in her Uncle Drew's rocking chair.

Bye-Bye Rubber Ducky!

Kennedy is growing up so fast. She is scooting around on her belly like a little sea turtle and getting around so fast. Her personality is developing more and more each day. She is a real go getter and loves attention. Yesterday she even pulled herself up to standing for the first time. I was getting clothes out of a storage bin and one second she is sitting quietly next to me and wouldn't you know it... now she is standing next to me holding on the the bin! I couldn't believe it! She will be walking in no time.


She loves getting rides on her tractor from her daddy. She takes it so seriously.

Bath time last night was going great and all of a sudden... Uh Oh! Kennedy pooped in the tub! Tom got her out and was dangling her over the tub with her feet propped on the side "What do I do?" It was so funny. All of a sudden she started pooping more and pooped all over the side of the tub and on the wash cloth bar :) "Oh my gosh!" I grabbed a towel, Mom came in and grabbed Kennedy from me while I was cleaning the poop off of her... and dad grabbed the baby tub. Well before he noticed Kennedy's little rubber ducky it was too late. Down the toilet it went! We thought it might be small enough to make it through the plumbing but we were wrong... Dad and Tom spent the next hour and a half outside with the toilet prying it free. They finally got it out, but we had to say goodbye to ducky anyway. Poor rubber ducky!

Happy Birthday Great-Grandpa Kennedy!

Grandpa Kennedy turned 92! on Sept 16 so on Sunday the whole family went over to their house to celebrate with him. We had a good time hanging out with all the family and Kennedy enjoyed showing off for everyone as well. We forgot our camera so we will have to wait for Alan to send us his pictures before I can put any up.


Kennedy all dressed up to go say Happy Birthday to Great-Grandpa.
What a cutie!

Playing with Cate and Alan.

Since Alan and Cate decided to get married in Iowa, they will be making several trips up here in the next several months. This weekend they had their marriage class at the church. They got here late Friday night and had to get up early Saturday morning to head to Ames. Kennedy was kind enough to get up to say good morning before they left.


Silly faces for Aunt Cate.

What a happy baby she is!

Hamming it up for the camera.

Playing with daddy before bath time.
Alan and Cate were very tired when they got home from their class but they still had fun playing with baby girl before bedtime.

Four Years! Happy Anniversary!

September 16, 2010...

Another year full of changes. A baby in January, another one on the way, quit my job, Tom got a job at the USDA, a move to Iowa, living with my parents while we try to sell our house in TN... I think that's enough for one year. It's been great and I wouldn't change a thing. Well, I would like to sell our house, but it will in good time.

Our Anniversary was on Thursday this year so we waited until Friday night to celebrate. Tom got home from work and we kissed Kennedy goodnight and we went out to dinner at Porter's on Main in Iowa Falls. It was really nice to get out just the two of us and have some alone time. After dinner, I decided that since Tom took me out for a nice dinner, I would take him out for some drinks. We saw a bar on the way in that had some live music that night so we decided to stop in. It turned out that we had to wait over an hour and a half until the band finally started to play and they were no good. I guess we have been spoiled by the music in Nashville. It was fun to just hang out anyway. We still made it home by 10:30 but that is late for us now a days. :)


Four Years, Baby! Time flies when your having fun!

2010... Family of Three... Love you Kennedy!

I am getting pretty big, pretty fast. There has been no hiding the belly the last month or so.
Hi Baby Donohoe #2!

15 Weeks.
My belly button has already popped!

Army Baby!

Tom had his first Reserves weekend in Iowa. He started at a new unit in Des Moines this weekend. We decided to spend the night in Colo Friday night so that Tom wouldn't have to drive all the way from Hampton very early Saturday morning. We took the opportunity to go out to dinner with a friend of Tom's from work and let Aunt Marcy babysit Kennedy while we were gone. Kennedy and Aunt Marcy and Uncle Dean had such a good time playing together. She only missed us a little bit. Tom got home around 6pm tonight, so much earlier than when he was going down to Birmingham, AL. Kennedy wore her Army outfit too so she could look just like daddy when he got home.


Army Daddy, Army Baby!

Super-Army-Baby! AHHHHHHHH!

How precious!

September 9, 2010... Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Tom had to get up and go to work early on his birthday and to make matters worse, it was a Thursday so he had to work 2.5 hours overtime! Kennedy was sweet enough to stay up to give him a birthday kiss and give him his card that she wrote for him. He was so surprised to see her and even more surprised that she even wrote on the card for him.


Kennedy was so proud to give her daddy his birthday card!
He even got a dollar to buy a peanut butter cup!

Happy Birthday to the best Daddy EVER!

Kennedy told me that says...
"Dear Daddy, I love you very much and you make me smile every day. I hope you have a good birthday, Love Kennedy"

Thanks Kennedy for my awesome birthday card.

Funny Face night

Kennedy is developing quite the personality. Cute and spoiled... what a combination! She is constantly trying to talk and actually carry on a conversation with you. If only we knew what she was thinking and trying to say :)


Playing with her rubber duckies in the tub.

Giving the ducky kisses... How sweet!

Oh, the many faces. Of course the camera wasn't fast enough to get the really good ones. Boy did she have some funny ones, and the more we laughed the better they got!

Look at those teeth. She has five now... Two on the bottom and three on top... She's working on a sixth too!

Labor Day!

Monday morning everyone was tired. Kennedy and I got up early of course to play but everyone else slept in. Once everyone woke up (Jimmy and Tammy spent the night) I cooked some breakfast and we just hung out all afternoon. We headed home after lunch so Kennedy could start the trip by taking her nap in the car.


Nap time... Such a comfy daddy!

Hmmm... How do you suppose I climb up on this thing?

Save me Grandma! I've fallen and I can't get up! :)
(She didn't fall out of the stroller, she was sitting next to it and tipped over)

Time to say goodbye :( Love you Grandma!

We had such a good time, but were so busy all weekend that the time just flew by. We were all exhausted by the time we left. Kennedy slept most of the way home. We did make a quick pit stop at the I-80 truck stop to have dinner with Drew and Kendra and then back on the road. We made it back to Mom and Dad's by 8:30.

So many new people to meet!

Sunday we had a long fun day of having people stop by to meet Kennedy. This was her first trip to Chicago so everyone was very excited to finally get to see her.

Aunt Mary stopped by just after lunch. This is her Grandpa Donohoe's sister.

Here's Aunt Ruthie, Grandma Pat's cousin, she's the one that made those awesome burpie clothes and crocheted her really pretty blankie. Uncle Jim came with too.

There's crazy Aunt Kathy! :) She brought some rubber duckies, a stuffed pink dalmatian and some baby cookies! Kennedy had a good time eating those cookies and making a mess of Kathy's shirt.

Kathy's girls, Kelly and Katie with Kennedy's cousin, Ryan.

Tom really enjoyed hanging out with his old friends from the neighborhood. Telling stories with Bobby and Mo.

Jimmy and Tammy brought a birthday cake for Tom, so we got to celebrate his birthday with his family. Tom was very surprised.

Bobby and Mo's little boy, Joey. These two really enjoyed each other all afternoon. Kennedy even got some kisses and for some reason, Joey liked to kiss her toes too!

Mike brought Ryan over, he was a little...well a lot late... but at least we got to see them. Lisa couldn't make it because she had to work but she sent along some pretty new outfits for Kennedy to wear. Aunt Eileen also came back. She came to see us on Saturday too with a bunch of new clothes for Kennedy. It was nice to get to see her twice.
