Happy Memorial Day 2010

JUNE IS HERE! JUNE IS HERE! I can't believe only 2 more months until Kendal is home for good! Time sure is flying by! We spent the week playing outside and enjoying the sun! I LOVE summertime, Can't get enough of it! Kennedy's 2nd birthday party is coming up this Sunday and I can hardly wait!It's going to be a blast! We didn't do anything too exciting over the long weekend but had a lot of fun around the house~ with it being Memorial Day I would just like to say to my incredible husband...
I am so proud to be married to such a selfless man, one who has chosen to defend each one of us on a daily basis and help to protect this land we love! I LOVE MY AIRMAN!
To all of those who have served or are currently serving this great nation of ours, Thank you!! It is because of you and your sacrifices that we live so freely!

Hope you enjoy the photos!

Out for our morning walk!!

Loves to water Grammy's flowers

MMM, they smell so good!

Playing in her water sink

Cooling off in her pool

Getting ready to go on a bike ride with Papa

Watering more flowers

Going out for her first ride in Grammy's car...SHE LOVED IT and now her Daddy can't
wait to get back so he can buy another Jeep and go out for rides with her!

My Friend Shannon (who I moved to Charleston to live with back in 2006) and her family are home to visit from Portugal. We took the kids to Kiddie Park this week!
The girls had a blast and we love watching them playing together!!!!

She had so much fun on the boats the 1st time that I put her on them while the big girls were on a roller coaster. Apparently she prefers a buddy to ride with because she totally freaked out! They had to stop the ride so I could get her off! haha!

So we hopped on the Merry-Go-Round and she was all better!

Reading a story to her best buddy, Aubrey!

This is what happens when you spend all day in the hot sun!
Crazy hair and crabby attitude! lol
Wrestling with Papa

And with Grammy

She spent all weekend either outside or cooking
in the Kitchen with Grammy
Mashin...making banana bread! mmmm

Making pudding! mmmm

I remembered to take a few pictures of her
eating healthy things this week!

My big news this week!
Thursday afternoon while watching Kennedy & Aubrey, I managed to fall down the steps in my parents family room for the 4th or 5th time this year! I have broken my ankle 2 times and sprained it multiple times since high school. This time the pain was different. I tried to ignore it for as long as possible but around 10pm I asked my dad to drive me to the emergency room. Sure enough it wasn't my ankle~this time I had broken my foot! I was in shock! I am now stuck on the couch, or hobbling around on crutches with sore armpits. My foot has to stay wrapped and in a big ugly boot! The Doctor says it could take up to 6 weeks to heal but I seem to be doing pretty well. I am able to put some pressure on my foot now and am just praying I can limp with out crutches next weekend for Kennedy's party! I leave for Charleston in 3 weeks to go house hunting and there is no way I am going to the beach on crutches! haha!

Kennedy stops by every once in a while to check up on me!

Earlier this week, I took Kennedy to the cemetery to put flowers on my grandparents grave.
She loved it there, so much room to run!

My parents took her again this weekend to put flags
on my Grand Father's Grave for the holiday!

She also got her first set of bloody knees this week! She walks up to us and points to her knees and says "ma boo boo" Poor thing, my dad took these pictures with his phone...to be honest I think I was more upset than she was!

A bandaid with Kittys on it:)
Made it all better!

11 more weeks!

Another weekend is upon us. 11 more weeks to go! I still can't believe June is right around the corner! I've been planning Kennedy's birthday party all week. It will be the 1st weekend in June and since she loves everything that involves water we've decided to have a "water party" Just pray for good weather! I managed to hunt down a pretty cool water slide and Kendal sent her a super fun sprinkler! I'm still in shock that we are going to have a 2 year old in 3 weeks!! Can't wait to Party! We stayed pretty busy this week, I've included a bunch of pictures! I hope everyone is enjoying this sunny weather~ love and miss you all!

She's turning more and more into me everyday...
doesn't like to get dirty~ so being very very careful while eating her cupcake!lol!

She spends a lot of time like this....

Kennedy loves the little porcelain figurines in my mom's hutch,
Papa let her hold one and she was soooo excited!

At the park having a little treat!
She shares so well!

I just love this little face! MwaH!

Hangin at the Park!

WEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I couldn't help myself! lol
After the Park we stopped at the beach...I love Lake Erie
She wanted to go in that water sooo bad!
I swear I don't just feed my child junk~
but pictures of carrots and cucumbers just aren't as much fun!
My Room mates
Building Domino Trains
Grammy & Kennedy planting some flower seeds!

And cooking together

Homemade play dough!

Mowing the lawn

She spent lots of time with her best buddy this week

A preview to Kennedy's Birthday Party, I can't wait!!!!

Its been a while!

Hi Everyone!! Can you believe it is May already?!!? The home stretch is upon us~Less than 3 months until Kendal is home for good (85 days to be exact! haha) My plane ticket was booked last week and I will be heading down to Charleston in June to find us a new house & visit with my girlfriends who I've missed terribly! I can't wait! Kennedy will be 2 in less than a month, an absolutely crazy thought to me. She is talking so much these days. Actually saying small sentences which completely crack me up...I love having conversations with her just to hear the new phrases she creates.
Kendal is doing extremely well since he has gotten back to Korea. He is being given a whole week off next week as a treat after putting in so much hard work earlier this year~ he plans on spending his down time sleeping in, watching tv, playing computer games and maybe a little shopping! I'm so happy he is being given some "Kendal" time and I hope he enjoys every second of it!!
Kennedy & I have been spending a lot of time at the local parks in the area! She loves the slides. I am looking forward to the 29th when I get to redeem my Mother's Day gift from my amazing hubby and daughter (hot stone massage) and just really excited for the warm weather to get here (and stay here) already!!! Love to all, enjoy this weeks photos!

I Just Love This Little Smile

Getting So Big!

I can't help but laugh when I see this picture...
Lately, we can't walk out the front door without her sunglasses or her baby!

She just loves to be outside!

Kendal uses a plastic water bottle on a daily basis (it has a rubber tip that you have to bite and suck at the same time) he taught Kennedy how to use it while he was home and she wouldn't put it down~ Sure enough, a week later, we came home from the park and the mail man had delivered this...her very own & its "PIIIINK" (her favorite) Daddy sent Mommy one too!! He's the best!

Another Day at the Park!

Swinging with her Buddy, Aubrey

We drug Papa to the park with us on his day off last week! lol

He had so much fun going up and down the slide! ahahhaha

She screams "WEEEE" at the top of her lungs...EVERY-SINGLE-TIME!

Recently Grammy has been working on the scales with Kennedy...Kennedy loves it and has to "pay the pino" (play the piano) 1st thing when she wakes up in the mornings!

Chit Chatting with Daddy

She points out and says the different parts of the face whenever she is being held by someone and her favorite is Papa's face because he has a "MOOOOOstache" haha
MR. Potato head ALWAYS has to have a "MOOOOstache" now too!

LOVES to sleep in Aunt Carli's bed...

My Sweet Smoochie Baby!

And my very bald husband...Kendal decided to shave his head when he got back to Korea and as his wife I have decided he has 85 days to grow it back...hahaha
Out on the trail with his co-workers....
