What's New With You



It's been quite a while since I made a post. We have been busy. We visited my parents for two weeks, had a family photo shoot, a Cake Smashing Photo Shoot, caught up with friends and family, visited my brother and his wife Laurie at their home in the Bay Area, went to my girlfriend; Meredith Felde Hoffman's wedding, threw K her first birthday party, and had her 1 year check up with the doctor.

Kendall is 30 inches long and weighs 18.9 lbs. She's a lean, mean fighting machine! She has 5 teeth with more on the way. She is cruising, saying Dada, Momma, Uh-oh, baby and tons of other things I can't understand but love to hear. She is extremely active and wants to walk so badly but doesn't quite have the balance down yet. This means that Troy and I have to help her walk everywhere because she doesn't want to crawl and wants to do it on her own. She dropped a nap this week and is now down to one...upside is that though she is sleeping less during the day she goes to bed earlier at night. Bye bye 9-9:30pm...hello 7:30pm. She is really branching out on her foods as well which is really fun. I am in the process of weaning her which is interesting...not as easy as I thought it was going to be. Why did I think it was going to be easy?!?!

We had a great time at Mere & Kevin's wedding. It was so beautiful. The bride looked stunning and the gang had a great time catching up. Everyone got their groove on especially Troy. Mere got asked if she hired dancers as my husband proceeded to take over the dance floor when "Billy Jean" was played by the DJ. We had such a good time that we all decided to meet up after for a nightcap. Now that we all have kiddos...we don't get out much. We all lasted about a half hour and then called it a night. We were exhausted and had to be ready to get up with the kids at the crack of dawn :-).

Happy Birthday Grandma Bronzie


Grandma,

I hope you have a good birthday today. My mom tried to take some pictures of me, but I don't want to sit still which makes picture taking very difficult. happy birthday!

Some Family Time

We had a nice weekend this past weekend. Getting in some great family time before K and I head off to CA. My girlfriend from high school, Meredith, is getting married so we are going to spend a little time with my family. Troy will join us later for the wedding; we hope to get away for a couple days to celebrate our anniversary belated while my parents watch K, but the jury is still out on these plans. I've been trying to get K to take a sippy cup...we shall see.

While we are in town we will also be taking family photos with my parents, bro and his wife. Should be fun! Just more photos for my mom to add to her "Wall of Kendall". For years my dad, Jon and I have been trying to get my mom to hang family photos on her walls... Lord knows we have enough of them. All it took was for her to get a grandchild and she was all over it. :-)

We got quite a bit done this weekend. Had some fun, did some house work, did my Bible study while Troy studied for the GMAT. All in all a good weekend.

Friday
Waiting for Daddy to come home, Kendall played with her Lamb

Oh Daddy I'm so glad you are home from work! I've been waiting to give you hugs all day.


Saturday
I'm into wearing and playing with my mom's sunglasses!



Kendall was so proud of herself. Before bedtime, she found a new hiding place in our bookshelf.

The dismount from her hiding place wasn't too smooth. As you can see from the picture, she was a bit off balance and took a face plant into the floor. She is tough one and after a short whimper was back up.


Sunday
Troy and Kendall caught up on their Zzz

Getting ready for bed after a nice relaxing bath
