On A Mission

I wish that I could say that my "mission" is noble, impressive, or noteworthy, but alas it is not. I have a nemesis in this world, and although I truly believe that God has created everything that lives and breathes on this planet, I cannot let my enemy go on living in my yard.

I cannot stand having to play defense any longer against Kendall running into a huge fire ant pile. After numerous treatments of our yard with store bought ant killer, I am resorting to a home remedy of orange oil, molasses, dish soap, and water to rid our yard of these little boogers. I will let you all know how my mission goes and if it was a success....and I will gladly take any suggestions for getting rid of them!!!

Belated 15 Month Pics

Oooppps, I am a little bit behind on blogging...here are a few pics from today in our backyard...Happy 15 months!!

Thankful for the Little Things in Life.....

As Thanksgiving approaches, we all begin to think about what we are thankful for in our lives....so obviously I would say that 99% of us are thankful for our family, friends, jobs....etc.....but I wanted to share the smaller things that I am thankful for.

1. Kendall's Artwork - I love picking Kendall up on Monday through Wednesday and I anxiously await to see what gem of artwork she has made for us. It is always super adorable and I give her teachers so much praise for getting 9 little ones to make these projects for us. Once we are home, we proudly display the artwork on the fridge.

2. Massages - Last year for Christmas, Lance got me a year membership to get one massage per month...I wait in anticipation for the new month so that I can go and be pampered for a whole hour. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

3. Starbucks - I am an addict, what can I say. I LOVE Starbucks iced coffee and I am so thankful that there is a Starbucks on almost every corner...and now there are even drive-throughs!!!

4. Nap Time - I am not sure what I will do the day Kendall stops taking naps...but I love my little cat naps while she sleeps.

As Thanksgiving approaches, I will continue to add to my "Thanks" list!!

Once You Pop, You Can't Stop

Last Night Lance and I were eating dinner and I heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen. I looked in the other room and just about died laughing when this is what I saw.



Kendall went into the pantry, got the Pringless from the shelf and figured out how to get the cover off of the container. It was so funny, we had to grab the camera ...I promise we feed our child!!!

Happy Halloween from Kendall! She was such a good little monkey and didn't even really fuss about wearing the costume. We went to a few houses in the neighborhood and then had such a good time at Kristen and Greg's....thanks for having us over!!Kendall riding Landon's 4 wheeler

Trick-or-Treating in style

Landon the scary skeleton

MINE

15 Months Old

My baby is getting too big for words! This month her little personality has really come out in full force and she is such a little ham. Just a few weeks ago, she really started talking and trying to say what we say, which ends up being very funny at times, especially when it sounded a lot like SH**....and she kept saying it over and over again. Lance and I tried our hardest not to laugh at her!!!

Here are some of her favorites from the past month...

Favorite Songs - Jesus Loves Me, If Your Happy and You Know It

Favorite Books - Kendall loves to read which makes me so happy and she loves her Trick-or-Treat book and Baby Einstein Neighborhood Animals book, she also likes the World Animal Book, but I do have an incredibly hard time coming up with sounds that a zebra, koala, and hippo make!!!

Favorite Television Show - Sid the Science Kid, Fresh Beat Band

Favorite Friend - Of course it is Landon....it is the sweetest thing to see them greet each other at school in the morning, they get SO excited to see one another and Landon keeps saying "Nendall" over and over again.

Favorite Activity - Hands down, going to the park!

Other new things from the past month....there are 2 chairs in the house that she can climb into and she loves to climb up and read her books. She also has learned to take off her diaper....not too fun for us!

Her list of words keeps growing!

-Mama, Dada

- Nana (we still have no clue what she means by this, it is her all-encompassing word)

- Landon

- School

- Shoe

- Juice

- Jesus

- Gym

- Joan (one of her teachers at school)

- Orange

- Strawberry

Beep Beep, Vroom Vroom

Last weekend while at Walmart, Lance picked up a little gift for Kendall. She loves the Cozy Coupe and enjoys getting and in and out of the car over and over again. She also loves being pushed around the block in it and also pushing it around the house. She has already managed to chip the paint off of the wall in several locations!

Celebrity Look Alike

Kendall LOVES to dress up...she found her sunglasses from when she was a baby and then put on 2 scarves at once...resulting in the following. I couldn't stop laughing and as mean as it sounds, the first person that came to mind WAS......
