Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch a couple weekened ago when Billy was elk hunting. Kendall had fun but was too interested in eating all the pumpkins so we had to keep moving around. Here are some pics of my girl!

love this pic. she thought she was too cool.

thanks grandpa for holding her up for all the pics.

not a fan of the straw...she does not like to sit/walk in certain textures...grass is what she mostly has a problem with and now straw is on the list.

She was ready to go at this point but I had to get a pic with the Aggie scarecrow. I'm thinking this guy may be able to help out our defense. Just sayin...

6 month hiatus....

Wow! It has been FOREVER since I have posted so I'm guessing no one even looks anymore! Kendall is almost ONE...less than a week. That is crazy to me. We are having her bday party this Saturday and i'm so excited!! We have been super busy with school, volleyball and now basketball. I had one day, yes ONE day, break between the two. Keeping up with that and a FAST walker is getting pretty crazy but I love it!

Here are some pics of my ladylike child...

Always so proper :) I love my little tomboy who LOVES dirt and sticks. She cracks me up!
Here are a couple more silly pics! I found this hat at gymboree and it was perfect for my little "girl."

and of course we are silly too....

This is also how my child rides in the stroller. We are not a fan of sitting these days so we have to stand ALL time time...

gets dangerous when in the wagon not strapped in!!

Never have a purpose!

I never have really a good reason to post pics...so I just post random things that we have been up to. Hopefully this summer i'll have more actual "topics" to post on. So here is what's been going on...

We LOVE our flash cards..mainly because they fit perfectly in our mouth. I think that is what she does with EVERYTHING lately. Billys says she used to eat/sleep/poop and now its reach/grab/eat! she cracks me up and refuses to lay down...always wants to sit!

we have a heavy panting noise with mouth wide open everytime we see a drink of any sort: margarita, sangria, water or formula...anything!

we are STILL obsessed with our daddy. i can do almost NOTHING to make this child laugh and all Billy has to do is walk in the door and its laughter city!

My dear friend Kate Gavos took some 6 month shots of K. I will have more up in the future, but these two are sneak peeks. She is so very talented!!! Please email her at kategavosphoto@gmail.com if you want a session!!!

yes, those are about 12 rolls on each leg. LOVE HER!

we did some of our own photo ops with our aggie overalls/tutu combo. thanks to leslie mills for letting us borrow. a little white trash with no shirt under...but oh well :)

and here we are with our flirty/mysterious smile...

more to come soon! love her more and more every day!

Sick again :(

Kendall is sick again. Two times in 6 months is not too bad when you go to daycare! Here are some things we did this weekend and yesterday while we were home sick.

we love to watch mickey after sleeping for only 4 hours. poor baby! i think she had 4 naps this day.

feeling much better once the day goes on. traded my tiara for a cowboy hat!

mom even got me some sunglasses from gymboree as a sick present. hang ten!

im all about swinging! i dont know how to do it yet, but everyone else does the work for me: )

im wondering if this is how she is going to be in school. already very silly.

ok, more serious...

and again at the park. i LOVE to be outside!

Being home sick is fun...except for sleepless nights, boogers and eye goop!

Sitting up like a big girl!

Kendall is starting to sit up. She can sit for long periods of time before she topples over. However, she does not have the posture down yet and kind of has to hunch over, she sure is getting there. This girl won't be happy until she can walk...she is a major busy body! I'm going to enjoy the last few months of her being stationary! Grandpa taught her how to watch Mickey on the laptop...ADDICTED! This has come in major handy when making dinner or getting ready for work!

She totally cracks me up...she is so interested in this show for some reason. She would watch it for hours if I let her!

so intense and then...

cracking up at Pete...

And OF COURSE...we watched the royal wedding LIVE!

She is getting so big, so fast! I am getting kind of sad! She just does something new everyday. Next up...hopefully rolling over. We are gonna do things backwards!

Easter 2011

We had an easter photo shoot in my parents front yard this weekend. Of course I am in alll of the pictures b/c K cannot sit or stand alone, but you get the idea....

Again, has to touch everything. This egg is way too big to fit in her mouth, which is where most things go.

Thinks this is funny. If we would have been doing this outside...she would have NOT been happy.

I attempted to sit her on an egg...and chunky monkey broke it open! So, we decided this would be a good photo op!

Love all these ruffles...goes well with the rolls :)

Here we are going to church Easter morning.

Yes, same outfit. My mom informed me that she had to wear it ALL day to get her moneys worth!

This girl is totally obsessed with her daddy. He was glad he got to spend the weekend with her and didn't have to work on the house. Good times!

Hanging out at Granny and Grandpas (our temporary home)

We just moved out of my parents house this weekend. We stayed with them about a month or so while our house was being remodeled. So, we are all done and settled into our new home...but we miss Granny and Grandpa bigtime! Kendalls eyes light up when she sees her Grandpa. It is too cute. Here are some things she did while we were there....

We did some major fishing. This is a fishing pole with a mouse attached to the end that our cats play with. She is all about knowing what is going on and being a part of it.

Reading our book. Old MacDonald...she loves to hold the book/pages herself. She is a very independent little girl. Not sure where she gets that from :)

we are OBSESSED with water! anytime she sees a bottle of ANY kind...she pants like crazy. I have a video of this and need to figure out how to post it.

she LOVES her wagon rides. Of course, we have to put the bumbo in the wagon so she can sit up ok, but she really likes to be outside.

I missed this fun outing b/c I had a soccer game, but she doesn't seem to mind :)

We will miss Magnolia but are very excited about our new home!!!

Azalea Farm

Mom, Dad and I took Kendall to this estate in their neighborhood on Saturday. The guy who owns the 200 acres goes to their church and has the most BEAUTIFUL landscaping. He has trails that run through it and you can walk about two miles. We went to see the 6500 azalea bushes he had planted but just missed them after the rain....but it was still awesome! K had fun. Here we are at the beginning of the walk:

So happy. This girl LOVES to be outside. I don't think she has ever cried on walk (unless we stop). She is gonna have one fun summer and be super tan!

Just some of the beautiful scenes:

He has a 20 acre lake that has tons of fish and on it is a 1200 sq ft. gazebo. This guy should rent this place out and make lots of money!

Couple of me and K on some of the props :)

She was wondering what the heck this crocodile was. She may have tried to put it in her mouth...which is the case for most touchable objects these days.

And here we are at the end of the walk. That sun will wear you out!
