Pearly Whites

So I did it, I finally took Will to the dentist.  I know it was a little late based on what they recommend, but I knew it would be a disaster when we went - so I waited.  I am so glad I did!  Will became intensely shy when we got there.  He did walk back and they eventually convinced him to sit up on the chair.  They could not convince him to lay down.  They didn't want to push him on his first visit, so they were ok with that.  Ms. Jenny cleaned his teeth and he let her!  I was very proud.  I think the awesome shades they let him wear helped. They didn't do x-rays yet since he was so timid.  Next time they are going to try to do that. They said his teeth looked great!  I was shocked as there was quite a long phase where brushing his teeth was an all out war.  Kevin had to hold him down and I had to brush.  It was a 2 person job and sometimes the job just didn't get done.  Either we weren't up for messing with it or one of us was unavailable, etc.  I just knew we were going to get in trouble when they saw his teeth.

The pics are out of order, but the above one was at the very end.  He got a prize (a small purple car) and he was so pleased! Below was the first pic where he was still really shy and she was trying to get him to warm up.  Note one hand in the mouth and the other in his pocket - ha.  Overall, it was a successful trip.

Sip and See

This past Sunday, my good friend Paula and my sister-in-law Tricia hosted a Sip and See for Kendall! It was an absolute blast.  It is so much more fun than a regular shower.  Showing off Kendall was way more fun that sitting and opening presents – so embarrassing.  They both put a lot of time and energy into the party and it looked amazing and the food was so fun. Paula actually made this cake herself – can you believe it?  Very impressive!

I love these centerpieces, too.  These might show up again at Kendall’s first birthday.  Shhh – don’t tell!

Love the diaper cake – almost too cute to take apart.  But I am sure I will once I need diapers!

I wish I had taken more pics of everyone that came. I got a few.  Lori and her girls. One of my bosses Sharilee and my Sunday School friend, Paige. An old Cleburne friend, Cherlynn, came and a good Tooker family friend Judy came. Work friends Melissa & Lena

Sunday School friends Ginny & Paige again.  (Poor Paige fractured her shoulder three weeks before her due date).

Melissa and Kendall (making a not so pleasant face) and Tricia’s mom Sue in the background The beautiful hostesses Paula and Tricia! My cousin Austin and his wife Megan brought their sweet girl Addilyn

Old church friends Dustin and Alicia (not married but their spouses were not there).  Kind of funny.

Neighbor friends!  Mary, Paula, & Stephanie.  Betty was there too but I guess she was gone once I took this pic. I love my neighborhood.  Sweet friend Morgan and work friend Sarah And of course Ally & Kayse (proud grandma and aunt)

And Mimi with little miss!

Kendall did so well with all of the attention.  She was worn out by the end! She was a perfect little honoree! 

Happy Birthday to me!

I had to write this down to remember it.  Yesterday was my birthday.  Last night Kevin gave Kendall her bedtime bottle and was headed to put her to bed.  I was giving her kisses and I said…Kendall sleep all night.  It can be your birthday present to mommy.  And guess what…she slept until 6:15!  Ha!  She really did it for me!  She had been waking between 3:30 – 4:30.  I have to say, I am very grateful!  Thank you for the sweet gift Kendall Elizabeth!

1st Day of School – 3’s Class

Well, another school year has started today! Will is now in the 3 year old class.  His teacher is Ms. Connor.  They only have one teacher now – it is like a real class!  Kind of sad.  We went and met his teacher last Thursday and it was a little sad to see the big boy class.  There was a very small play area.  The room was much smaller, period.  One teacher, two tables of kids.  I know it is a good thing (and cheaper tuition, which is a bonus) but it is just weird to see him all big boyish.  Kevin took him to school this morning and he was very excited.  He didn’t cry and walked right in and put his backpack in his cubby.  He knew right where his name was.  I got a few pics this morning with him showing off his new backpack that Mimi took him to get.  Thank you Mimi! He was very proud of his buzz backpack! I am not surprised by this pick as it is very blue. Everything he picks has to be blue these days. Here’s hoping this is a great year!

Random Cuteness

Here is a random dump of cute pics I have taken recently.  There are a bunch, but they are all blog worthy, I think! I have the best time dressing her up in her cute clothes.  She is now in her 0-3 clothes.  They’re a little big, but she looks cute even so.  Fun socks, fun hat, cute dress.  All set!

Sometimes getting him to brush his teeth can be a challenge.  We watched a youtube video called Teach me How to Brushy.  It is a rap song and he was very amused.  It has helped him get to brushing recently.  I’ll take it!

We had a super hero in the house!

She just looked cute.  :)

I have a hard time getting a lot done during the day, because I spend a lot of time doing this.  Just snuggling.  :)

I imagine her saying – Please, I need my beauty rest!  I walked out of the room and found her like this.  Silly girl.

Brother trying to entertain her during some tummy time. She’s started smiling!  I love it!  I caught one!!

I just love her in these fancy pj’.s  Unfortunately she is long and not going to be able to wear them much more.

Snuggled up with daddy!  I love this picture of her looking at her daddy.

This is such a fun outfit.  Though, she had socks on and a bow, but those came off.  Still super cute.

Just playing with Dylan!

I look at this picture below and think Wow.  I am truly incredibly blessed! (And Will finally got a hair cut!  He was looking shaggy).

Sweet napping.  I don’t know if you can tell, but her cheeks are looking SO much better, finally.  Poor girl’s cheeks were rough.  It isn’t 100% clear, but probably about 85%.  They are on the mend!
