Kendra's birthday dinner

We got home late on Kendra's birthday and she was so tired, but needed to eat dinner. Aunt Jenny fed her (and got her pretty messy, but that's okay). I just had to share the picture because we were laughing so hard that she was holding hands with her baby doll. This was not posed or anything, she just sat there holding it's hand while she ate!

And here is Brent cleaning her in the sink after dinner.

Kendra is ONE!!

Here she is eating her cake! I have more pictures, I'll post when I have another free second!

Sunday-Cont.

Sunday (mid-day), Jana, Greg, Shelby and Courtney came up to see our new house (which needs a lot of work). I took some pictures of the girls playing together. I thought they were cute. Note: the ugly carpet and curtains are not staying!

Monday-Crazy Hair Day

It's spirit week at Kendra's daycare. Yesterday (Monday) was crazy hair day. Here's Kendra with crazy hair. Brent says another one of the babies had purple hair, her parents dyed it with koolaid!! I don't think I would do that to my baby! Today was backwards day, I didn't get a picture of her, but will try to when she gets home if her clothes weren't changed.

Sunday

Sunday, Brent, Kendra and I participated in the Breast Cancer walk for a cure. It was quite chilly out and there were a TON of people downtown. We walked with the Lexus of Roseville team. We didn't make it in time to be in their team picture, but I took a picture of us when we got back to the car with my cell phone. It's not the best picture of us, but it works. And it shows my new hair color for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

Pumpkin Patch!

We went to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. It was fun, Kendra loves pumpkins! She didn't mind sitting in the dirt and getting all scratched up from the wood chip crap on the ground. She actually would get mad if we would pick her up because she wanted to be on the ground, climbing on the pumpkins! We went through the haunted house-here is Brent and Kendra in there:





And here is Kendra with the spongebob scarecrow:

Here is Kendra and all of the pumpkins.

We also went through a corn maze and went on a hay ride. Kendra had fun grabbing for the corn while we were going through the maze and ripping the leaves off (and trying to eat them). And yes, it was very hard to push the stroller through there, but she gets heavy after a while!

11 months old!

Kendra's 11 month old picture. I can't believe she's almost one!!
And here is the slide show of all the shots it took to get this good one (minus a few I took out).

Boating on the River

Sunday we went out to the river. Jennifer, Joe and Ruben took their boat out and we went out on ours. We were almost to the boat ramp when we realized we had left Kendra's life jacket at home. We had to turn around and go buy one at Walmart out in Natomas. What a pain! But we finally made it out there. I am so surprised that Kendra doesn't freak out when we start the boat, it is pretty loud! She loves the water and her Aunt Jennifer kept letting her play in it (on the shore). Dad let her drive the boat for a while too. We were coming up to some turns so I grabbed her and put her back on my lap and she got SO mad. She wanted to hold the steering wheel with her Dad! The video's not that great, but it shows that we are moving!

Saturday

Saturday was spent at a funeral (Gino) and reception with family. I just wanted to add some pictures. Kendra with her Granny Sandy, playing in the fountain and sleeping on Aunt Jenny. And the last three are of a little boy who came up and was giving Kendra some love. Dad walked out (you can see him in picture #2) and was not very happy. He had to shoo the boy away. Dad is apparantly not ready for his daughter to be getting attention from boys! I thought it was adorable though!

Courtneys 2nd birthday!

This is a little late as well. Courtney turned 2 on September 1st. This was her party on August 30. She had a pool party at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

10 months old (and a month late)

So Kendra is officially 11 months old, as of yesterday. But I still have not posted her 10 month pictures!! I'm way behind. I hate having two jobs at work! And a piece of crap computer at home, my computer is non-fixable and my old laptop is a sorry excuse of a computer with viruses and spyware infested that I can't seem to get all cleaned up! Anyway, here are the 10 month pics! I can't believe this was a month ago! Time flies by way too fast! In 4 short weeks my baby will be 1! I could cry!

Molars suck!

Kendra has two molars!! She has been a crying mess all week when I have tried to put her to bed and I could not figure out why. Last night, I tried to take her picture for her birthday party invites and she was just not cooperating. She just wanted to sit on/near me. Then before long, she was in tears. And would not stop. I tried feeding her and she cried while nursing, so I knew something was wrong. It got to the point where I was sitting on the floor and she was on my lap and she just cried, and didn't want to be touched. I though maybe she could be teething, so I gave her a couple teething tablets and a popsicle to chew on. Brent doubted my idea, but she jammed the popsicle in her mouth, verifying to me that it was her teeth that hurt. Then I was finally able to look in her mouth and could see them! It looks like it would be pretty painful. With a front tooth, there's just that one edge that needs to get through. With those molars, man. It's both sides that have to push through! I'm glad I don't have to experience it, though it's pretty bad dealing with a little one experiencing it! We gave her some Motrin too and about 20 minutes later I was actually able to set her down and give her some dinner (she ate up my chicken quesadilla!). That's 10 teeth now, how many more do I have to go?

Swinging away at the Park!

Kendra's first time on the swing! I don't know why I haven't taken her before. But she liked it. I'll post a video too, she kinda giggles while swinging.

Finally!

Okay, it's been way too long since I've last posted and I have a ton of pictures to update. Here are a few to get started and I'll try to add more later. Brent weighed her on the scale at the grocery store and I couldn't help but make him put her back on there for a picture! A lady walked by and stopped and laughed at us too.
