All Things Pumpkin

We are getting into the Fall Spirt now that it's beginning to feel like fall here in Texas....FINALLY not a million degrees. Kendall's playgroup had a costume party this past Monday and all the kids dressed up. Kendall was a ballerina. I thought she looked so cute with her little bun..so grown up it scared me...and Troy :-)

Then Wednesday Kendall and I went with some of our friends from Bible Study Fellowship to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm. We had such a great time feeding the cows, sheep and goats, picking out pumpkins, riding the hayride, and picnicing on the farm. Kendall liked the animals the best and kept telling me what each animal was and the sounds they made. I think it's funny that she calls pumpkins "papas".

This past Sunday, Kendall blew my mind. I've been planning to purchase some number books and number bath blocks to practice with since I really have focused on letters with her. She loves to point out all the letters she sees everywhere; this tends to make our grocery trips longer but oh well. Ok so I was cooking dinner as she sat a few feet away and I heard her pointing to the numbers on her camera and saying what each one was up to 10! I started cheering/screaming as I had no idea she could count to 10. Kids are amazing!

Kendall Turns 2!

Our baby has become a big girl, though she often will tell you otherwise. Who's in the mirror I'll ask her as we star at our reflections and her response is "Ten-dal, Baby!" On October 10th, Kendall celebrated her second birthday. We had a party for her at a local park. My parents, brother and sister in-law where in town which was awesome. It was so nice getting friends and family together for some fun and food and pleasant weather. Kendall had a great time at the park playing her friends and Uncle Jon. It was a nice 'bug themed' party!

Kendall's 2 Year Old Pictures a Month Early

Kendall and I just returned from a great trip to CA to visit my family. We had an awesome time hanging out with Grandma & Grandpa Lap or Ma and Pa as Kendall calls them, seeing my brother and Lou and catching up with friends. I've got pictures of our adventures while away but thought I would share these photos I had taken of K since I don't have the others downloaded.

I haven't had professional photos of Kendall since her 1 year birthday so I thought it was time to capture how much our sweetie has grown and changed. She really did well at the photo session we did on the grounds of Wine and Roses. But she had her mom and Grandma working over time to get her to smile and get her hands out of her mouth...not sure what that was all about. I couldn't be more happy with how the pictures turned out.

The white pleated dress with pink pipping that Kendall wore in some of the shots was a dress my mom had me photographed in when I was Kendall's age. And yes she did get it soked while splashing in the fountain. There was a cute pink ribbon that feel off of it while shooting...darn ribbon wouldn't cooperate, but I guess after 30+ years it's understandable.

Jesica had me get in a shot of two with K. You can't see it, but Kendall is covering my growing belly. I'm 16 weeks on Monday. WHAT?!?!

Happy Early 2nd Birthday Kendall! (I love you and stop growing so fast please)
