I Miss My Palm Trees :(

Another week is behind us. Exactly one month from today Kendal will be here with us and I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am! He bought his ticket last week and will be home on December 17th until December 29th! We are planning a small family trip to one of the indoor waterparks to spend some quality/FUN time with Kennedy! Maybe a Browns game and an evening at one of the nice hotels downtown just the 2 of us! Even if we do nothing but sit on the couch I will still be the happiest person in the world for those 11 days!!!
The weather has been typical fall weather but gosh do I miss those warm sunny days of South Carolina! We have been spending our days in the house, coloring & painting pictures for daddy, practicing animal sounds, shapes, and singing songs! Kennedy's new favorite is ring-around-the rosie and she makes sure we ring around that rosie about 50 times a day! lol! We did make sure to spend the weekend outside however. She had a blast running around the yard and playing ball with grammy & papa and going on walks in her wagon...she's definitely her daddy's daughter, she loves the fresh air, running around and getting dirty!
Mom and I had a jewelery party this past week and had a blast with everyone who was able to make it. Just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who came...we sure are blessed with some amazing friends!
Dad and I went to the Monday night football game last night against the Baltimore Ravens. Of course we lost (nothing new) and we didn't get in until after 1am. Needless to say, mommy is exhausted and doing everything I can to keep my eyes open~ and we are babysitting baby Aubrey today too. While they are both napping I thought I would get in my weekly post and then its nap time for this girl too! Have a great week everyone! Love you!

Mom had oral surgery last Friday and spent a few days on the couch. Kennedy stayed in her "jammies" and snuggled with Gram watching movies & having snacks! She was worried about her bestest buddy:)

Reading a bed time story to Daddy


I can't really explain the obsession with Kitty Cats these days. NONE of us are cat people. But for some reason she has claimed these little furry guys as the loves of her life. She doesn't go anywhere without the 3 of them, she notices cats in every book we read, every store we shop at, and peice of clothing she see's and was even walking around the house with a newspaper clipping that had a cat on it this morning. She only wants to wear the pajama's that have cats on them (Grammy has bought her about 5 pairs by now) and even checks her clothes when we get her dressed in the morning to see if she is wearing something with a cat on it. (She has a few things) The cats in the neighborhood must know because while having coffee the other day I noticed a cat in the backyard. Of course I ran and got Kennedy & showed her and the next thing we knew, there were 4 cats in the yard. I've never seen her jump and scream with so much excitement. SO FUNNY!
Has Breakfast every morning together!

Mommy's little dare devil, she's mastering walking up and down the stairs with out holding onto anything!

Going for a run~ lol


Pickle in the middle


I just love that litlle smile so much! Keeps me going everyday!

I can't figure out how to turn the video (okay, I probably could~ but that nap is calling my name)~ so just enjoy it sideways
Her elephant is my favorite. She doesn't do the noise in the video that she usually does but she does do the motion~ which cracks me up everytime. The frog at the end makes me laugh too. She does the motion but still can't master that "RIBBIT" lol!

Happy Halloween!

OCTOBER IS OVER~ YAY!

Normally I am pouting when all of the fun October festivities come to an end! It is my favorite month of the year but this year I was so excited to see it here and gone~ Only 1 month and 15 days until Kendal is home now!!! Halloween was a little bitter sweet this year. I was happy to be home with my family and taking Kennedy trick-or-treating for the first time but I was pretty bummed that Kendal was missing it all~ We were sure to web cam with him though!
Kennedy was SOOOO cute when it came to Trick-or-Treating! She saw all of the other kids running up and down the street, that she just couldn't wait to get in on the action! We came home after 6 houses because it was pretty chilly out~ She didn't mind though, she loved passing out candy to all of the kids too & not to mention the 3 candy bars she got to eat! Just like Daddy~ she sure loves her Reese's peanut butter cups, lol!
We spent Sunday helping papa work in the yard and watching football! We had a blast all weekend long and we are super excited that we are one month closer to seeing Daddy!!!!


Carving Pumpkins

Checking out the "guts"

I'm not really into all of those crazy designs, basically bc I don't have the patience for it, so we just did plain ole jack-o-lanterns
Thanks PAPA for helping!

Grammy brought out all of the candy for the trick-or-treaters...She was so excited!


Filling the basket!~

My little bumble bee!

Kennedy is obsessed with Kitty Cats these days, so Mom and I were entertaining her obsession!

"No more candy"


Daddy had this Browns Jersey made for her & I LOVE IT!
