Easter

Saturday Kendal got to participate in two Easter egg hunts. (I can't really call them hunts since both times the eggs were covering the grass in plain view) The first was put on by our housing community and the second Kim and i put together a small hunt at my parents house. Kendal liked going around gathering things, she loved it even more when she discovered there were treats inside the eggs. We had our Easter celebration with my family on Saturday when all the Sib's could be there. Sunday was a quiet dinner with my parents and grandparents. Kendal received many fun things for Easter including a cute outfit (thank you Mom and Dad D), a sweet purse (thank you Mom and Dad L), and a bubble gun. It was a good weekend full of firsts for Kendal, and it was a wonderful Easter.

O the joys

Kendal is now 17 months. I would've updated on the fifteenth, however Kendal has been sick this week (and it's been a long week). Thankfully she's doing better we just need to get her rash gone, and her eating a bit better.
This month Kendal has gained many new things
- the skill to climb onto chairs then our dinning table : (
- Four molars, she now has 12 teeth : (
- More fun words such as ink (pink), wher's tha (hide and seek), tu (two, the only number she knows), see u (see ya), gama (grandma, finally), and more that i cannot remember just now : )
- she's learning pretend play, she'll get two animal crackers and prance them across her tray then make them climb her belly or kiss each other. : )
- points to her bum and either says poop or diaper, (early potty trainer??) : )
- Explores and gets into anything she possibly can : /
- Gets bowls / buckets and a whisk / spatula, puts some toys into the bowl, stirs it, then she takes the utensil out and pretends to eat off of it. : )
- "Go" anytime Kendal wants to go outside or somewhere else she points to the door and says go go. : )

This little girl is always making us smile. We love her so much!

- countdown, nine more days left in Casey's student teaching
twenty more days till Casey graduates
twenty one more days till Kendal is in nursery
thirty two more days till I'm done with After School club
O the joy of it all!

Put a smile on your face

This past weekend we went to Idaho to spend some of our Spring Break with family, and to attend Baby Bryker's blessing. It was a good family weekend.


Here is one of the best highlights from the weekend.
I hope it puts a smile on your face!!

Happy Birthday MUM!

Today is my Mummy's birthday. (I don't love the word Mother, so i call her Mom, or Mum) I am truly truly blessed to have the mom that i do. There are not enough words to thank her for all that she's done; i am so grateful for her support, and everything she does for me. My mom is generous enough to watch Kendal most afternoons so that i can work, and Casey can student teach / lesson plan. She loves Kendal so much, and i know Kendal loves going over to play. My mom is a great example to me. I want to be as awesome a mom as she has been to me. She taught me so much growing up and i have her to thank for my sewing skills, cooking skills, love for the gospel, good nature, love for others, collecting (her - peanut's cartoons, me - blankets), and much much more. She is a strong beautiful Lady and i'm lucky to have her as my MUM!

Happy Birthday Mum, may all your wishes come true!
