Father's Day

This year Father's Day was pretty low key, but really nice. Kendall ate her usual, Bee Cereal (Honey Nut Cheerios), while Troy and I made breakfast sandwiches with eggs and Turkey Bacon on an everything bagel with a side of coffee. We got Troy coffee refills for the coffee machine and Kendall made him a picture of her handprints and reasons why she loves her daddy for his office. We shot a "Kendall Video", with her saying Happy Father's Day but for some reason I can't get my videos to post to this site. She went around the whole afternoon telling us "Happy Father's Day" even me which was cute.

Kendall likes to climb into Riley's crib and cuddle her after she wakes up from her naps (I'm supervising of course)

Daddy & his Girls

Backyard Swimming

At the end of summer last year I got a great pool for super cheap. The pool is set up in the backyard and the whole family loves it. It's big enough for Troy and I to get completely wet and it fits the whole family at one time. Kendall takes swim lessons throughout the year, but just having this pool up has improved her skills immensely. 

Kendall got some new pool toys and goggles. She decided she wanted to break them in at dinner table before wearing them in the water! 

New Goggles!

Riley's reaction to seeing Kendall in the goggles.

Kendall's 1st Salon Haircut, More Smiles from Riley, & Cute Cousin Mason

Kendall got her first salon haircut today at the Stride Rite Hair Shop. She got to lollipop and watched Tangled while she lost her locks. I think she looks so cute with a shorter length for summer!

Awe Mom...seriously do you have to take so many pictures?!?! 

While Kendall napped yesterday, Riley and I had some play time together. She can roll from her stomach to her back and her back to stomach....it's crazy! She is so strong....and so cute says her big sister.

One sweet baby

This is the face you receive when you get her from her crib in the morning

We love Mason Joseph Lapachet! Look at Kendall and Riley's cute little cousin who's a month old. The girls now have two boy cousins, one on each side of the family. Poor sweetie doesn't know it yet but he will likely be bossed around by these two girls and made to dress up in questionable outfits (just like his aunt did to his daddy. LOL Sorry Jonah!).

I'm not sure who this little guy looks like 

Sporting his fears shark shirt and vans

Sisters in Bumbos

These are picture of the girls hanging out in the play room one morning. You can tell they are going to be good friends. Now that Riley can hold her head up she is super happy sitting in a bumbo watching and learning from her big sister.

Rolling Riley at 3 Months and Kendall the Spit Fire

How can 3 months have past?

 On Saturday, Riley turned 3 months old!!!  Not only that but she rolled over from her tummy to back. She put on a little demonstration for our family and then looked at us as we were yelling with excitement "what like you didn't know I could do that"! She is such a good baby. She has been sleeping 10 hours at night consistently for the last several nights. She goes down around 10ish and then wakes up at 8am-ish. Her catnapping is no longer an issue as she is napping like a champ. Why was I worried!?!? She still loves to smile and has begun laughing and giggling. She loves the silly noises Mommy makes to get her attention. The girl still loves to be cuddled..all day long would be her preference which leaves Mommy's back stiff and aching at night but she's worth it. Riley has upgraded from a paci to her thumb and hands to sooth herself. She loves those things. You can hear her munching on them on the monitor when she wakes up each morning. HAPPY 3 MONTHS RILEY RUE! We love you.

Big Sister & Little Sister

As for Kendall, she is a kick in the pants. She is a 2 1/2 little ball of energy. She is learning manners, about obeying and consequences when we don't obey. She does not like consequences nor Uh Oh Time which she finds herself in often. Now that my baby is sleeping through the night my toddler is now not. WHAT?!?!?!? With her being in her big girl bed, nap time and bed time are a constant battle. She is waking up in the night often and along with waking up at 5am instead of her usual 7ish. We are trying to teach her to stay in her room until her alarm clock reads 7am, but this hasn't exactly worked as of yet. Despite that she is such a great kid. She constantly makes Troy and I laugh and she is such a great big sister. She loves to give hugs and kisses. The best is when they are out of the blue and she just walks up to you and lays one on ya. Recently she caught Troy and I kissing and she yelled "more kissing, more kissing" and we were happy to oblige her. When she gets older she'll be running from the room when she sees that just like I did when I saw my parents kisses...gross! :-)

The cute kid who's giving me a run for my money!

Tia (Aunt Lea Ann) trying Kendall's sunglasses on Riley. Didn't go over so well.

We are starting em out early.

Silly Babies

Tree Swing

When we got home from our visit in CA, Troy surprised us girls with a tree swing in our yard. Kendall was so excited as she has been wanting one for so long. She would constantly begged me to take her across the street to our neighbors house to use theirs. We have been having a lot of fun with this swing. Not only is it great entertainment, it put kids to sleep. Thank you tree swing. We love you!
