Dancing Queen

Kendra is really into dancing lately. She'll go to the TV, start dancing & say "melmo" which translates to ELMO. We like to watch & Grandpa likes to join in so ENJOY a little dance recital featuring our little Miss & her Papa!

TAPE OVERLOAD

We have a basket by the front door. It's Nick's basket so he doesn't unload all his junk onto my already limited counter space. Yesterday I noticed it was getting out of control so I started to clean it out & this is what I found....................

......and that's not the half of it. I find it in our bathroom, our vehicles, his dirty work pants and in our bedroom. So if you're in the market for some electrical tape, look no further!

At least there's one person in our household that doesn't mind our oversized collection of tape. She finds it to be quite entertaining & if it keeps her busy for a few minutes, I really can't complain.

Miss Magoo!

"What? I'm just sitting here on the stairs, minding my own business!"

but when you see a smile like this, you know it means trouble.

and I was TOTALLY right!

Why do I think every little thing she does is CUTE? Instead of getting after her when she's naughty, I find myself "observing". It blows my mind how fast she learns. I love being a mom even when she pulls the toilet paper off the role, dumps the dogs water over, or knocks over my container of 300 bobby pins. What did I ever do before she was born, I really don't know.

Christmas 2008

Just a few pictures of our awesome time at home for the holidays. I'm a terrible mom & didn't get pictures of Christmas morning, just video. We still had a great time hanging out with the Whittakers & Whites. Kendra LOVED Jaybird & TOLERATED Roni, I mean they don't call them the WILD WHITTS for no reason. Uncle Dustin & Aunt Lynette spoiled her rotten - new shoes, clothes, jacket & snow suit to name a few. They definitely need a GIRL.

Here I am feeding the MONSTERS.

Kendra's favorite place to play - the granite fireplace which she only fell off & bumped her head on like a bazillion times.

Riding in the sled. I'm not sure who liked it more.....the kids or Uncle David??

My handsome little brothers. Russell & Nils (single by the way).

Grandpa of the year pulling the kids around in the sled.

We had a FANTASTIC Christmas & hope all of you did too!!

Thanksgiving in......JANUARY

ahhhhh.......finally some time to sit down and blog. I'm a little behind in the blogging world these days so I'll make this short and sweet. Thanksgiving this year was held in Willard Utah with the Schofield clan (aka: the pie people). We split the trip into 2 days (5 hours driving each day) and arrived the day before Turkey Day. Kendra spent most of her time going up and down the stairs until she found a step latter which proved to be WAY more entertaining than the previous. We played games, baked, talked & then ate until we were sick. It went by way too fast but we really had a lot of fun!

During the BIG dinner Kendra used her HUNTING & GATHERING skills to find food for survival. Okay she mostly sniffed out the people with pie but she IS a Schofield!!
