Pretty Princess

Kendall loves to dress up right now. While at Target she found a cute yellow dress up outfit. I told her she could get it after she took her nap and when she slept I went to walmart and got a box of dress up stuff. I was trying to be frugal b/c the box of stuff was the same price as the ONE outfit at Target. Kendall is getting way too smart for this trickery and the box of dress up stuff was too small and made her look inappropriate.....so she got her way and I had to go back and get the yellow outfit. I did buy her dress up shoes the first time around - but she picked out a $15 pair and I found a $5 pair and when I showed them to her she said "mom, you are a genius".....but then later she made a reference to that comment coming from Spongebob so then I didn't feel so special......

bad mom

geez i don't remember the last time i went so long without writing something. well i've left my camera in the car - so the only recent pic i have is from the car this morning - she's into headbands right now so she wanted me to take a picture of her - not sure you can really see it though. oh and the scratch on her nose - her story is that a girl at school threw something at her - but i'm not 100% sure what happened. but ask her - as aunt jeni can attest - she'll tell you a fun story.

for Easter - her cousin Breanna was supposed to take a cute picture of her in her easter dress, but she had the camera backwards and took a picture of herself. in this day and age with digital - you would think she'd have realized this immediately, but oh well. Kendall loves the easter dress so i'll put her in it again and get a picture. She was afraid the easter bunny was going to come in her room and get her - but when she realized easter morning that the easter bunny brings things, she was okay with the thought. and according to her, the easter bunny is a girl. she got a Leapster and has hardly set it down since. and as usual - it goes under her pillow at night. she takes it everywhere. she was not happy the other day when grandpa started playing it when she went potty. she will soon realize that grandpa will never grow up.

in the afternoon Kendall went to grandma and grandpa millers for Easter lunch. Her and jack were attached at the hip. And "yack" is all she has talked about since.

Daddy is laid off right now - not fun for him - but he has been picking kendall up from daycare everyday - VERY NICE for mom.

For those of you who know my dad's side of the family - they are VERY Christian Reformed. Well, we had a bridal shower on Saturday and prayed before we started eating, and at the end of the prayer Kendall did what she learned at her catholic daycare "in the name of the fodder, son, howy sprit, amen" - the look on everyone's face was priceless!!!!!

When mommy has a migraine....

Why not give yourself a hair cut??? I will try to post some pictures - but Kendall would not let me take any this morning. She did a good job (if that's possible)...she must have pulled the front pieces out in front of her so she could see them and took a snip of her hair off. If I kind of angle the sides tonight it will not be noticeable......but I had a migraine so the blanket was over my head and I forgot and left the scissors on my nightstand.....ugh! I had to explain that WE only cut paper and that STACY (our hair girl) uses scissors on hair.

daddy's side

Kendall and "gam milla" ~ as kendall says
Happy birthday daddy!

Kendall and bitty baby in their matching pjs!

Grandma Miller sent me a disc with pictures on it from their side of the family. Woo hoo! I feel bad that I only ever have pictures that I've taken of our family. And it's funny to me that when daddy comes to pick Kendall up she cries that she needs me, that I can't leave or that she doesn't want to go. As you can see from these pictures - she could obviously care less~ but I'm okay with that. I normally tell her that "yack and tarli" wanna see her happy face not her sad face and she settles down some.

Kendall has been asking me what street EVERYBODY lives on. It's funny to hear her say Grandma Miller's street name :) Right now she can remember our street, daddy's street, grandma and grandpa Berends street and Kolton's street (we went to kolton's the day she became interested in streets).

finally some nice weather

After being stuck inside for quite some time and being sick when the weather was nice....we FINALLY made it out for a bike ride yesterday. Kendall rode an entire mile on her bike yesterday afternoon with no complaints. Pardon the too short sweatpants - she dressed herself yesterday :)

oh the things they say.....

We had a big late lunch yesterday - so for dinner we just had sandwiches. Tuna fish sandwiches. When my mom asked Kendall if she wanted spaghettio's or a tuna fish sandwich, Kendall said "I'll have tuna sh*t grandma". Luckily grandpa had already swallowed his pop or it would have gone all over the place. She can say her f's most of the time if she slows down - but she was hungry so she was talking fast so it came out TOTALLY HILARIOUS.

Dress up with Laila

Sarah picked Kendall up for me a few weeks ago so that I could go to the hospital - she sent me some pictures today of the fun that Laila and Kendall had that night. And, for the record, when I got to Sarah's to pick Kendall up, Kendall looked at me and said "hi, why are you here?" I normally have to drag her out of Sarah's house and she is not very happy. I'm very glad the girls get along so well though!
