Sept fun

We have really been busy since your birthday. I never thought I would enjoy being home all day like I do, but I have to admit I am loving it. Right after your party, we went to see Walking with the Dinosaurs which you really liked. That same day, you were unfortunate enough to get your first bee sting....right on your forehead. Luckily, you didn't have any reaction to it. A few days later we went to see Dr. tran for your 3 yr appt. You did an amazing job! She was very proud of you for being so well behaved, so talkative, potty trained, your drawing ability, how easily you get yourself dressed and especially how you didn't even whimper when you got your flu shot. I was very impressed too. You now weigh 38lbs and are 39 inches tall, and perfectly healthy.
We stopped by grammy and grampy's after your appt and they were so proud of you that we all went down to Ports O'Call for the afternoon. We walked around, rode some rides , had some lunch and even got to go on a boat ride. You had a lot of fun.



This past weekend we went to a carnival at mommy's old high school. You had a lot of fun there too and even managed to meet some new friends. You rode lots of rides, had a sno-cone and even won 2 prizes all by yourself.


On Monday, we got to celebrate Jen Jen's birthday by taking her out to lunch. We had an awesome time with her. After lunch we did a little shopping together and then we picked up your "sisters" from school.

They were very surprised to see you. So the 5 of us went to your favorite place, Yogurt Flavors (Yogurt favorites, as you call it) and had a yummy after school snack.


Yesterday we took Mary and Evan to Disneyland. This was his first time there so it was really fun to watch him see everything. Amazingly, I forgot my camera so I wasn't able to take any pics, but Mary had her phone and was able to take some. Here are you and Evan on the Casey Jr. train and on Dumbo.




I can't believe September is almost over! Wow, has it flown by. You are starting to decide what you think you want to be for Halloween this year. Your idea this week is, a scary witch that turns into a potato?? Hopefully that idea will fly out the window when we actually start looking. Love you french fry.

3rd birthday fun

Here is a slideshow of most of the events that took place over the week or so for your birthday. I hope you had a great birthday french fry. Love you.

Chuck E

Well, we made it through a day of Chuck E Cheese. Really only a few hours and man were we pooped. When we first got there, you were very excited. At first it was just you , me, and Daddy. So the 3 of us just played for a while

Then I called you over to look out the window and you saw Grammy, Grampy and Hailee!!! You were so excited you started screaming through the window.

We sat down and had some pizza and then you and Hailee were off to play.
We finally trapped the wild animals:)

Then you two went on the coolest roller coaster ever!!!(your words, not mine)

Then I had another surprise for you.... Brandon was coming too. You were very excited about that...just watch this video


You weren't supposed to climb up there, but you're 3 now...so there is no listening :0
Here are you and Hailee rocking out on the big screen. It was soooo cute!

After Chuck E we all went back to Grammy's to have some cake, open a few presents, and of course, play.


Here, you three are watching the movie Up, which lasted a very short time!!!!

We barely pulled out of Grammy's driveway before you looked like this!

On our way home (before you fell asleep) you said you wanted a hot dog. Then of course you fell asleep. When you woke up about an hour later, I asked you is you wanted to watch something and you said, "I told you, I wanted a hot dog." So of course we got you one, and you ate the whole thing I hope you had a great birthday. Thanks to everyone who called/text to wish her a happy day. She is very lucky to have such great friends and family. Love you french fry. 2 more days til your party!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KENDYL!!!!!

Today you turn 3 years old and I can't believe it!!! What a great journey this has been so far. I am so excited to see what new things 3 brings to us to share. I love you very much Kendyl. Thanks for being my everything! Today we are going to surprise you and take you to Chuck E. Cheese.

Farewell 2's

Today is your last day of being 2. We had a very busy day too. First I woke up to you crawling in bed with me at midnight. Then you decided to kick me in the face all night until you woke up around 8:30. We hung out at the house for a while and then finally got dressed for the day.
We had to go to the bank and do a few errands before going to lunch at Islands. We had such a nice time, just the two of us.

After lunch we did some shopping and you got some new shoes and a few new shirts.
Then we picked up Logan from school and took him home to play for a while. Grammy and Grampy came over too and she even brought spaghetti and meatballs for dinner, which of course was yummy. We hung out there for a while then came home to do some laundry and play.
When Daddy got home you helped him make a taco and you even made one for yourself. You are getting to be such a big girl!!! I told you to go pick out some jammies and you came back like this...

you put your pull up on and everything... I was very impressed that you did it all by yourself!
Well, thanks again for 2 AWESOME years, Kendyl. You bring nothing but joy to my life everyday and I love you soooooooooooooooo much. I hope you have a great birthday.

Last days of being 2

This last week we have really been getting ready for you to turn 3. On Tuesday, you went with Grammy and Grampy to pick up Mal and Logan for school so I could do a little shopping for your party. I picked you up over there only to find you rocking out on the guitar :)

Another day I was putting clothes in the washing machine and I came out to find you like this.... reading in your book basket that Kim gave you without any clothes on



Tonight, as I was making yummy flip flop candies for your party I walked in to check on you in the tub and found you like this...


And tonight after your bath you gave me a "I'm almost 3" smile

You really are a silly girl. You have been telling me all day that you are going to be 3 years old on September 8, which is only 2 more days :) I am so excited.
I can't imagine this next year being any better than this last one, but I am sure you will find a way to make that happen. Love you french fry.

Getting ready

Tonight me, you, and Daddy went over to Grammy and Grampy's to start getting things ready for your birthday party. We have decided to go with a flip flop themed pool party and I am getting really excited. Tonight we put up Uncle Mark's big tarp in the backyard and decorated it with flip flop lights. We moved a few other things around too. We also put together the goody bags for all your friends that are coming. Today at home you and I picked some of your favorite songs to add to your birthday playlist on my ipod, so we can have music at the party
I think it is going to be a really fun party. I just can't wait. I'm sure grammy and grampy will be happy when it is over too :) A special thanks to them for all they have already done to make your day so special. Love you!!!

One more week

You have one more week of being a 2-year old. It is really crazy how fast it has gone. I am a little nervous though because everyone is telling me that the 3's are worse than the 2's. Unfortunately, I am starting to think they are right because you have been a little naughty lately. Maybe I am just noticing it more because we are together 24/7 but you are definitely changing.

You are getting very excited for your birthday and you can even tell me that it is on September 8. Everytime you watch any show where they talk about a bday, you make sure we know that your bday is coming up. We have been working on getting everything ready for your flip flop pool party too.

Last night we watched Shaq vs. Justin Beiber and OMG!!!! First you told me that you want him to sing Baby to you and then after I teased you by saying, He's so cute, you said, "No, he's not...He's Adorable!" Man, are we in trouble.

Here is a video from Sunday when you and Daddy were flying your kite. You kept trying to make it hit daddy and thought you were so funny because of it. I thought you were pretty funny too.

Well french fry, the last 2 years have been amazing in every way possible. I love you so much and I am so thankful to be your mom. Thanks for being so cool.
