Pumpkin Patch

Brandon, Brad, Liz and I went to our annual pumpkin patch the other day, only this year Kendall was here to join the fun with us. We try and go each year, take pictures, pick out pumpkins and come back to our house to carve and have pizza. I had brought my camera will full intentions to take a lot of pictures...until the dreaded moment: "Honey, your batteries are dead!" Oh great, I said to myself - but thank goodness - Liz had hers!

Can you find Kendall? :)

These are the famous pumpkin carvers!

The finished products:

Great Grandparents!

Kendall got to see her great grandparents for the first time! She was SO EXCITED! This is her Great Granny and Great Pa...






We are so glad they got to come visit and we hope to see them again soon!

6 months

Well, my little peanut turned 6 months old last week. After being sick for a week before her 1/2 birthday, she got 5 shots. Let me go back to the week before...I get a call at work from Kendall's daycare saying that I need to come get her because she had 3 diarrhea's that day. (and can't go back for 24 hours.) So I stay home with her on Wednesday and go back to work on Thursday. Come Thursday morning, she had fever. It kept getting higher and higher and higher. There is no way that I could take off work on Friday, so my mom kept her and then took her to the doctor that morning. They said it was just viral and that we had to let it "run it's course and give her motrin." Ha...obvisouly they forgot that I was a first time mom and knew nothing else to do but panic when her fever got to 104.2. Yes, you read it right, 104.2. I took it about 4 times because I just knew I was doing something wrong. I put off calling my mom and kept telling myself "you can do this Stacy!" That lasted about 5 minutes. Being the wonderful mother that I have, she jumped up out of bed and came over to my house at about 5 o'clock in the morning. Needless to say, things got back to normal by Monday and she was able to go to school. Oh - did I forget to mention - Brandon was out of town this whole time for opening weekend of BOW SEASON?!?!

Anyways, Brandon and I took her to the doctor on Thursday of last week for her 6 month well check. The doctor said that everything looks great! She weighed in at 11lbs 13.5oz and a whoppin' 25 inches long! Then came the 5 shots. I didn't think her daddy was going to make it through all of them. As soon as the nurse was done and put her pink camo band-aids on her little legs, her daddy scooped her and up just squeezed her! He wouldn't even put her down to put her back in the carseat. (Can we say - wrapped around his finger?) :) As we were making our appt for her 9 month visit, Brandon was quick to inform me that he was not coming appts where she was getting shots anymore. Little does he know...he is! I love you babe!

All is good now and we thank God each and every day for our little baby girl!

SHEW....

Boy am I glad that September is almost over!! We have been so swamped at work, I haven't had time to get on here at night. A mothers job is never done! After a long day of work, I go pick up Kendall from school, come home, cook dinner. By that time it is time for Kendall's bath and bed and once I get her down, I am too tired to get on the computer. But here I am!

Brandon has started playing softball with the guys at Ged's....tust me...they aren't as young and in shape as they all use to be! :) Kendall loves to go watch her daddy play. She has so much fun out there in her stroller.

Speaking of baby Kendall...she will be 6 months old in a week. I can't believe how time flies! Everyone said cherish every moment you have with her because they grow so quickly. I never thought it would go this fast! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home. But here she is almost 6 months old!

Feeling Better!

All three of us have been sick the past week. Nothing major, just allergy/sinus junk. It started out with Kendall, then I had it and now Brandon has it. We are all feeling much better eventhough we still sound bad. That's all for now, but I will add some new pictures this weekend.

Good Ol' Squash

What a messy night! We have been giving Kendall cereal for the past week and she has done pretty good with. Although she still hasn't grasped the whole swallowing thing without pushing all of the food out of her mouth yet. Tonight we introduced squash to her. She wasn't quite sure what to think of it. One bite she would like it and the next she wouldn't. I think she had more fun watching Brandon and I's faces as she ate it. (or spit it out) All in all, I would say she did pretty good though! Once she was done, it was time for her bath, bottle and bed time! Here are a few pictures of tonight's mess. Enjoy!

Also...today was Kendall's 19 week birthday (silly - I know) but look at the precious little outfit her Nana bought her...DADDY LOVES IT!!

I think I figured it out...

I think I have finally figured out this whole blog thing! I have been meaning to do this for a while, but never got around to it. Matter of fact...I have started a couple of these and then deleted them, but this time I decided to stick to it and figure out how all this stuff works. I thought this would be a good way to keep in touch and update family and friends who are near and far!
