The Best of the Best

I'll post more later about what we've been up to (lots). But today we are celebrating! This is my 250th blog post! Can you believe it? My sweet sis set up this blog when Kenley was born, and I don't think I even knew what a blog was!

So I had this idea to do an all-star list of my favorite posts from the past three and a half years. We've added lots of readers since our early days, so I thought I'd bring back some of the best of the best to get our newbies all caught up.

Mostly I'm doing it to have them all in one place for our own reference, but I'd be lying if I said that I'd be sad if everyone skips right over it. Obviously I don't expect you to read them all, especially the relatively boring milestone posts, but hop around, and take a trip down memory lane. And then leave some comment love! How long have you been our blog-stalker? What's your favorite post of all time from this blog?

Did I mention that if I don't get any comments after all this work, I will be very very sad? :(

Oh Katie, how fun! I just read them all ... what else is there to do on a Sunday morning. We miss you guys. Next time you have a free day in RB let's meet at a park. The girls would love to play!! Or we could do the WAP too.

So my favs are many. I'll try to narrow it down.

My Little Cinderella

Boy Cheese Sandwich
The Smallest Elmo Ever (probably all time fav)

Love the hidden pocket post! And the Gap dress:) She is quite the fashionista!

What a wonderful trip down memory lane! My cheeks hurt from laughing. It is taking me a long time to look at all the posts because I have to enlarge each picture and make little cooing sounds. Just like a grandma!

My all time fav still has to be "Life Lessons from Olivia" with "How to Play with Girl Toys" coming in second.

Katie, I love peeking at your blog to see what your little ones are up to.

You give such a real look at parenting! I've loved it since the picture you posted of Kenley face-planting in the pumpkin field. =)

I'll keep stalking since you never visit "the pod" anymore! ~Laura (lnb)

Best Post - Photo of James still gowned up leaning down talking to newborn Kenley who is lying on a table in the hospital. One picture worth thousands of words and also just one word: "Love".

I loved the hidden pocket too. Just wait til she has cleavage to use instead. Thanks for making me smile and inspiring me record my kid's funny moments.

Pretty much absolutely impossible to narrow it down!!!!! They all are so dang funny. We made a quick last minute trip to San Diego and stayed with April. Next time, we will plan ahead and I'll call you. XO

I've been blogstalking you for a while now...I'm a cousin to the Kenley's (lori, amy, rita, melissa) and am friends with Andrea...I've met you before in AK, but I don't exactly "know" you...but I LOVE your blog! Your stories about Kenley always kill me...they're so funny! I must admit, I just read through every post, and was thoroughly entertained! You have such a great little family!

April said...

You are one blessed lady. You have the greatest little family. I can't wait till Edison sends himself to timeout.

How on earth am I going to pick a favorite? I still chuckle inside thinking about the "bad girls" post but I just read the "toodle" post about the Wild Animal Park incident and I just about "toodled" myself.

And yes, I'm a blog-stalker; I'm always guaranteed a chuckle on this site.
That is all.
