wow what a week!

Decorating the tree with her friends - don't ask why there's no pants....

having fun in brody's crib with Laila and Brody

We have been sick the first few day this week - but we are back to reality today and hopefully our flu season is done with! Hope everyone has a happy Thanksgiving!

Somersault!

Last night in tumbling, Kendall did her first somersault with no assistance. She was so proud of herself that she did like 40 in a row and I got dizzy just watching her. She got a sticker for it and she wore it proudly. Of course this was the ONE NIGHT mommy left her camera in the car!! AGH!!! :)

Halloween and our new place

Kendall had a blast on Halloween this year. Her school does a little costume parade through SJV and she liked that. I actually had the day off so that I could participate in her school activities, but she wanted nothing to do with me. She kept telling me "go to work mommy". Which I guess is bittersweet ~ I'm glad she likes daycare/school - but geez she could ACT like she likes me a little bit! When I told her she was leaving with me she started crying. Oh well.At night we went trick or treating with daddy and then uncle andy, michelle and breanna. Kendall was having conversations with EVERYBODY that answered the door "what's yer goggy's name, what are you doing in there?" And when we told the girls to yell louder - Kendall was definitely the loudest.

And here she is on her bed in her NEW ROOM. She has adjusted quite well so far (even though it's only been one night)

Kendall's conference

Kendall's school conference went great - she's right where she should be. She still needs to work on sharing (which she said is just about everyone in the class) and that she only has to tell Kendall something once and she remembers it forever. They are learning to recognize their names and she said Kendall is getting really good at that. She is always willing to be the teacher's helper and is a good listener. All good things to hear.
Kendall is very much looking forward to going Trick or Treating. I'm getting nervous though because I've been planning on her being a Michigan cheerleader but she keeps saying "i'm a bumblebee" - I can't find a costume in 2 days! So I'm hoping once the candy is accumulating in her bag she could care less what she is wearing.

Evan's birthday party

I'm sure Maison was giving a look that meant "stop touching me" since Kendall just wants to hug and squeeze her constantly
waving to the hay riders
finally on the hay ride
She really liked the apple cider - until a bee flew in it!

Tyler didn't mind sitting by Kendall - but as you can see Brady was inching away from her!

Meredith, Maison and Kendall

We went to Evan's birthday party at Orchard Hill Farms on Saturday - Kendall had a great time. She got to pick out her own little pumpkin and she was very excited about seeing and hearing all the animals. She loved the hayride behind the tractor also. It was so sweet when she found Meredith - they ran to each other and hugged. They get along so well!

I can't keep up with all the pumas

she just loves "sleeping" with her babies - and heaven forbid they all share one big blanket! and right now i think she has oh maybe five babies that actually sleep in her bed with her?!?!? oh and we have increased to having 3 pet pumas and now we carry them on leashes like dogs. And for those of you who dont' know PUMAS ARE BOYS. All of them.
This is a gift from Grandma Miller when mommy graduated - she just loves this little graduate statue
She told me this morning "i need raids mom"

Doing a back somersault in tumbling class
she was supposed to be making a pencil and rolling....
she wanted to make funny faces in the tub.....

this was her monster face - I sure hope that's not how she smiled yesterday for pictures!

I DO IT MYSELF MOMMY

Kendall wanted to pick out her own clothes on Sunday. This is what she wore....
