Happy Camper
Thanksgiving Day
Once we got there, we unpacked and got situated. We headed over to the spot where we spent most of our time, right in front of Aunt Heidi and Uncle Eddie's place by the fire pit. A little bit later, Mal Mal and Livi took you over to the playground and put you on the swings.
You clearly enjoyed it much more this time. Then it was nap time. So me and you hung out and took a nap for about an hour. Next thing we knew, everyone was at the volleyball court. They were playing girls against boys. Here is daddy showing off his great skills.
It was quite a sight from the trailer. So we went over there to watch. Then we went back to the trailer to get ready for our Thanksgiving dinner.
Aunt Cici made an awesome meal for all 18 of us. It was the best Thanksgiving dinner we ever had. You even loved the turkey, but especially loved the corn and mashed potatoes (just like me). After dinner we all hung around the fire pit and everyone listened to you say "applesauce" at least a million times. It was pretty funny. By 7:30 everyone was pooped. Luckily for us, it was time for pie. Me and you shared a piece of apple pie and then Daddy held you while you started getting sleepy. Shortly after that, we went back to the trailer, put you in your jammies and went to bed. This was a great Thanksgiving. We had so much fun. Love you, french fry.
Friday
Not long after that we headed to the trailer to go to bed. Another great camping day. You rock, Kendyl. I love you.
Saturday
Then we got cleaned up and the girls (and Logan) went for a nice drive. We were headed out to Shaver Lake because Santa Clause was going to be there. It was about an hour drive through the mountains, and it was such a pretty day. Too bad you slept through most of the drive. When we got there all the kids were so excited to see Santa. Except you! You started out ok, then you really wanted nothing to do with him. After you saw Mallorey and Logan with him you gave it another shot, but came to the conclusion that he was a bit too scary for you.
After our visit with St. Nick, we headed over near the lake for lunch and you colored for the first time.
That lasted about 3 minutes when you decided to try to eat the crayon.
We came back to Pine Flat a different way. We took the scenic route and boy was it pretty. Again, too bad you slept through it. At least this time you had a nap buddy.
Love you
Sunday
When we got off the mountain we stopped for gas, where you woke up. You were up from then until we got to the grapevine, where you slept the rest of the way home. Once we got home, we all napped then just relaxed the rest of the day. Thanks for such a great weekend. You are the best camper baby ever. Love you.

A camping we will go
You are going to experience many new things I can only imagine. You have never been up there. Aunt Heidi and Uncle Eddie have their trailer up there at a campsite, as well as Uncle Eddie's almost entire family. So we are going to borrow one for the weekend and spend Thanksgiving there. Last year, we stayed behind because you were only 2 and a half months old, but this year we are bucking up and being adventurous. I know you are going to have a great time with most of your cousins there. I just hope it's not too cold, and that you don't end up pooping out too many rocks or bugs. Well, I'm looking forward to our wonderful nature weekend. The only bad part is about it is that I won't be able to blog about it until we get back Sunday. So until then, where I'm sure I'll have a gazillion stories and pictures to share.
I'm so excited.......
Love you french fry

2 down...a billion to go
Then on our way home from Jen Jens, we stopped at Pavilions to get some more goodies for the weekend. While we were walking through the parking lot, a lady in a very big red truck was pulling out. She couldn't see us, so we waited for her. As she pulled out, you waved and smiled at her through her windshield. She smiled and waved back. The next thing I knew, she rolled down her window and said, "Well, that just made my day, looking at that little face." You smiled at her again and said, "Bye-Bye." She started laughing and then said, "Boy, she is cute." Then she drove off. I couldn't help but think that maybe she was having a bad day and your little innocent smile and wave helped her in some strange way. She has never seen you before and will probably never see you again, but for that minute you made her happy. Now she knows what my every minute is like, because no matter what kind of day I am having, you always seem to brighten it up, just by your beautiful smile and kind heart.
I love you french fry. Thanks for making the world a happier place, one grumpy lady at a time :) 2 down, a billion to go. :)

WOW!!!
Fun Day with mommy
We started the day off by going to my school so I could do a little work. We stayed there about 40 minutes and you were a great girl. You sat in one of the chairs and watched Shrek the whole time. When we left there, we drove out to see Daddy at work. We stopped at Subway so we could bring him lunch too. We stayed there to visit just a short time because he was busy, busy, busy. Then we went to the magical kingdom, no not Disneyland, Target. We finished some shopping and then headed back towards home. You took a nice nap on the way home, so we took a detour and stopped to say hi to grandma. We played there for about an hour, then came home. I decided to start wrapping all the Christmas presents I have already bought and you decided to watch Shrek for the 3rd time. He is becoming your 2nd favorite babysitter. So, you played in the garage while I wrapped. You were so awesome in there. You kept yourself busy long enough for me to finish all the gifts, which took one and a half Shreks. When I was just about finished, you tried to crawl into your wagon, so I helped you in and 5 minutes later I found this....
I tried to take you out and put you in your crib, but you were knocked out, so I let you sleep. You took about an hour nap in the wagon and then you were up and raring to go. You have this new laugh that I have to catch on video. It is so cute. One day, I'll get it to share. It's great. Well, thanks for a great day french fry. I love spending time alone with you, and guess what???? we get to do it tomorrow too. YEAHHHH for no school :) Sleep tight french fry. Love u

14 months
Lately you have developed a few new words, but still are hanging on to your favorite...Nooooooooo! You still love to watch Shrek (but only the 1st one) and will still say "Shek" everytime I start to put you in the car. You still only enjoy the Match on Mt. Olympus episode of The Backyardigans, although you will rock out to the theme music at any moment. You also have finally realized that I am mommy (everytime you were asked, "Where's mommy?" you would point to yourself because when I would show you mommy I would point to me. That's hard to see from words, but trust me, it's cute) But now you point/look at and smile at me (most times). I think my favorite newest thing about you is how quickly you learn things. You have an Elmo doll and the other day I asked you,"Where's Elmo?" and you walked right over to him and picked him up. I didn't even know you knew who he was. Not only that, but 2 days later when I asked you, "Who's this?".. you said "Elmo." It sounded more like "A-mo" but I understood.
This last month has been wonderful, minus the vomit expereinces. You have really continued to show me how lucky I am to have such a happy and loving child. I love you french fry, and I hope you feel better soon. Happy 14 months.
Here you are today watching your favorite movie, Shrek, with your new buddy, Elmo.
Island eruption
P.S. I have now discovered why someone invented those highchair covers... I wouldn't want to be the child that sits in that chair after she got through with it. You know they didn't disinfect it, even though I told them she threw up all over it. GROSS!!!New lesson: never leave home without the highchair cover, cause you never know what was in the seat before your child!!!

Hailee's Hair-looms
Here you are with a cute pink one at the boutique.
(click on the picture to see it bigger)
So we hung out with her all afternoon. You were a great girl. You took a few little cat naps and then just wanted to walk around and check things out. After we left there, we went and had some dinner with Auntie Evonne. Of course while we were there, it started pouring. Good thing we had this awesome jacket in the car, huh.
Boy you are cute.
If you have ever seen any pictures of Kendyl with a cute bow in her hair it was made with love by Aunt Netty. And if you would like to buy some for some cute little girl/s in your life, please let me know. She will take custom orders, but already has over 100 different styles. Check out the link on the right to see some samples.
Love you french fry. Now go to sleep already.
Trick-or-treat, smell my feet
Well, it's pretty obvious that you are one loved little girl. And you deserve every ounce of it. You are the best daughter anyone could ask for, and me and Daddy are sooooo lucky to have you. Thank you for bringing such joy to our daily lives and such laughter into our hearts. You really are a blessing. Hope you had a great Halloween and thanks for all the candy you shared with me :) Love you.
