Kiddie Pool Take Over

It was Hot Hot Hot this past weekend. Troy and I decided to take a little dip in Kendall's swimming pool. As you can see, Kendall isn't completely sold on the idea.




Troy lost his sunglasses so he had to barrow Kendall's. I laughed so hard taking this picture.

Then Kendall stole her sunglasses back cause she wanted to sport them.

Troy, as all Dads seem to do, rials Kendall up right before bed. They just love to goof off!


"Mommy, look at this angelic face. How can you even think of putting me to bed?!?!"

Hello 9 months

Kendall turned 9 months this past Saturday. Every day she does something new; it's so cool to watch. She is moving all over the place. She has figured out how to open our entertainment center cabinets; of course she loves them. She is scooting on her bottom, rolling, and inventing her own method of transportation. I turn my back and she is literally on the other side of the kitchen...I don't know how she is doing it. She also has started scooting on her back, yes her back. It's pretty funny to watch. No crawling the traditional way yet. Grandma Bronzie was over this past weekend trying to motivate Kendall to crawl. She was a great cheerleader.


She is pulling herself up on small items and is jibber jabbering like crazy. Bababa is what she says the most. Also Who-who-who. She has this animal sound down pat. In the picture below, she is demonstrating her owl impersonations.


Kendall is also trying new foods and snacks. She is gaging a lot which really makes me panic inside. I try not to let her know that I'm terrified so I just say positive things and keep a smile on my face despite! Yesterday morning my husband told me, "Don't worry if she is really choking you have 3 minutes to get the food dislodged before she has brain damage." I think he thought that was actually going to make me feel better.

The pool is still a big hit and so is Daddy! Kendall loves seeing Troy in the morning and when he gets home from work. She always has a huge, gum gleaming grin for her Dad.





Yet again, this child has found another unique sleeping position. When I went in to check on her during her nap, this is what I saw....

Three Little Girls

Brenna and Abby playing dress up with Kendall

My nieces, Brenna-6 and Abby-5, spent Thursday and Friday with us since my sister-in-law is on bed rest as she anticipates the arrival of her third little girl. Katelynn is due to arrive on July 27th, but Mel is praying she arrives sooner...we're praying for you Mel.

We had a good time with the girls. Thursday we went swimming with my nieces; Brenna, Abby, and Ashlee and my nephew, Dalton. They all showed off their amazing swimming skills through tricks and races. Brenna, Abby, Kendall and I then came to our house and made chocolate cookies to eat for dessert. When Troy got home, we ate dinner and played Pretty Pretty Princess and wrestled, they did not me. The girls really enjoyed putting on all the jewelry. I could hardly contain my laughter seeing my husband in earrings and a crown...it was awesome. Brenna won every game, how she did it I will never know, and Abby did a great job managing and distributing the game jewelry. She called herself the "Jewelry Maid". Abby also was the photographer throughout the evening documenting everyone and everything in our home.


Get him girls, get him.

Girls Rule!

Three Pretty Princesses

Ariel and Bella....Bella really??????

Hello Cinderella

On Friday, we made a water obstacle chores in the backyard and I painted the girls toe nails. We watched a movie and then took the girls home. It was a good time! You just have to love little girls; they are so much fun and they say the funniest things. They had me in stitches laughing. I decided I would write down the funny things they said throughout their stay with us. Here are just some of their funny comments:

In discussing age and how people can live to be over 100, my niece said "Ya I just hope to make it to 80, 100 is too old". -Brenna

"I can't believe you named your baby Kendall cause it sounds like candle". -Abby

"I didn't know your house was so cool". -Brenna

When referring to the baby monitor my niece said, "Let's watch the Kendall show". -Abby

"You love candles and pillows don't you cause you have a lot of them". -Brenna

Family Photos

On Father's Day, we took family photos in Downtown Dallas. I've posted some of my favorites!!!!

Update from Kendall:
I turn 9 months old this Saturday, July 10th!
My first tooth has arrived...boy it sure is cute.
I love playing with door stoppers, swimming in my kiddie pool and looking out our dining room window at the birds, squirrels and cars.
