Picture Day

We took the kiddos to get their pictures done and had a fabulous idea to get a cousin picture....sounded good to me but it just wasn't working:)

If there are two things Sassy loves to do, it's SLEEPOVERS and BORROWING things. So we borrowed the Wild Whitt's boys and had ourselves a sleepover. They had a blast and I even got kisses from the Jaybird who doesn't freely give them out:)

New Years Resolution

I can't believe I'm admitting my New Year Resolution to anyone, let alone publishing it on my blog but wth? Drum roll please.......

GOAL: Take Kendra to church {clapping & muffled giggling}

Now check this out. First Sunday rolls around. I'm laying in bed thinking, I REALLY don't wanna go....Nick was working, I'm really worn out from the holiday's & work.....then I get a text inviting us to go with some friends. I think, "fine whatever" so we get ready. Church at 11am and we are ready and early. We get out of the car, holding Kendra's hand, jump over a snow bank and I hear "RRRRIP"....the entire back of my skirt completely split up the back. With my ass exposed to the world & trying to hold it together, I find my keys and get K back in the car. We drive back to the house, change my skirt and go back to church. Did I mention my stipulations of going to church? Well let me tell ya! NO SPEAKING IN CHURCH, NO CHURCH CALLING & NO TEMPLE PREP CLASS. Well turns out that my dear old friends Rog & Jen attend the temple prep class so what's a girl to do? I wasn't going by my lonesome to another class:( So there ya have it....my first week at church.

With that being said, Kendra LOVED it. I took her to Primary (first time ever) and sat her down on the front row. I told her how much fun she was going to have and introduced her to the teacher. She said "I'm gonna miss you mom, give me a hug" and with that she stayed the whole time....no tears and still HAPPY as could be when I picked her up! When I asked her what she learned she said "something cool" so I asked her what that something cool was about and she said "a King that was really mean and tried to steal baby Jesus but don't worry, he didn't find him." Phew!

Christmas 2010

Please excuse the random order but something has changed on blogger and I'm too lazy to try and figure it out.

Christmas was so much fun this year. Kendra had an elf visit her all through December, whom she named JACK, so she was "mostly" on her best behavior. One day Jack was hanging out on the ceiling fan and Kendra was so good and she didn't even try to turn it on....then Grandma came to visit. Grandma took one look and couldn't resist trying out the old "cause & effect" theory. Jack went flying and Kendra started shrieking! Kendra ran over to get a better look at Jack and then scolded Grandma....NEVER TOUCH JACK, HIS MAGIC WILL COME OFF!! We picked him up with a hand towel and placed him in a safe spot, free of any hazards (and grandma).

Kendra rocking her baby. When I was little, my Aunt & Uncle made 2 of these cradles for me & Lynette. My dad dug it out of the attic and I refinished it for Kendra. She LOVES it as much as I did:)

The goods!

Uncle Nils playing Zhu Zhu Pets with Kendra. Did I mention we got to have Uncle Nils? He's a celebrity, only making appearances a few times a year;) Kendra tucked him into bed and on Christmas morning she was worried about one thing.....where's Uncle Nils?
