Happy 2nd Birthday Kendal!

Dear Kendal~ Two years ago today you arrived 4 weeks early. You were just a tiny little mite, weighing less than 6 pounds. I couldn't wait for you to meet your big sister Lindsay, who today is one of your best friends. You are a sweet young lady with a determination I admire. Kendal, you are growing so fast that sometimes I want to bottle the sweet moments we share together; singing "Baby Beluga" before you go to sleep, reading books, playing outside, and enjoying family time. Your big sister loves you so much and celebrates all your milestones right along with you. My hope is that you continue to grow and learn each day while being a kind, compassionate human being. I pray that you stay healthy and protected from any harm. I love you more than words can say and am so blessed to be your mommy! Happy Birthday sweet girl!

Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo...

We visited the LA Zoo last weekend. Perfect day, sunny but not too warm. Arrived when the zoo opened and avoided most of the crowds. The animals were amazing, especially the gorillas, giraffes and tiger. Dad pushed the stroller, which was great because there sure are a lot of hills. I doled out the snacks and drinks when needed (every 10 minutes). Kendal was done at about noon and let us know by screaming and crying for the last hour we were there (she's definitely two). Lindsay loved everything, though when asked what her "favorite" part was, she said shopping in the store at the end for her special treat...gotta love my little lady!

Sympathy Pains

Kendal comes to me on Sunday holding one of my slings and says while handing it to me "Mama put on uh-me, mama put on uh-me"...so I bound her up and she thought it was great...how come I don't share the same love for that sling!!

Pigtails

Just one precious girl with some cute pigtails!

Auntie Angela Visits

My dear friend Angela came into town last weekend to help her one-armed friend while Mike was in Las Vegas. We love when she visits! Funny how when a great friend shows up, you just can pick up where you left off...even if it has been a year. She brought the girls darling Easter dresses (wait till you see them), which of course both girls put on right away and immediately began twirling in them...and I am happy to say the dresses passed the twirl test with flying colors. We laughed, ate(Sees Candy Bridge Mix for dinner Friday night), shopped, played with the girls, talked late into the night(for us) and just completely enjoyed each other's company as true friends should. We love you Auntie Angela!!!

The Many Faces of Kendal Christine aka Mooseroni

Silly, snugly, sassy, smart, stubborn and soooooooo stinkin' cute! That's our girl!

I Wear My Sunglasses At Night...

The sunglasses were purchased for those times in the car when the girls are blinded by the sun (both get so upset they cry...fun!). Perhaps they thought these were 3D glasses as well...I found them here watching a movie (not 3D) with them on...silly girls!
