Hello!!!! Is there anybody out there???

Does nobody check my blog anymore? I have hardly had comments in the last...10 posts maybe? Is my blogging frequency really that bad? Hmm.

9 Months!

AHH! Kendra's first birthday is 3 short months away. Sometimes I HATE time. She is 9 months tomorrow and had her check-up this morning. She is 19lbs 4oz and 27in. Of course the office didn't write down her stats and percentages OR ask me for her shot record and I forgot to give it so none of her shots from today are recorded yet. Awesome. Anyways, she is 5lbs lighter than Ryder was at this age. HA! I can't remember him being so huge. I feel like SHE is huge. She still hasn't popped a single tooth and doesn't crawl or talk much or do ANY of the things Ryder was doing. In fact, Ryder was already taking steps at 9 months. SO she's a lil' behind as far as milestones but the Dr. is not worried. She is so ready to crawl she gets in to position constantly but she hasn't quite figured out how to move. She's kinda lazy but I sure do love her to pieces. She has waved a few times and randomly said "mama" and "dada" but it's not consistent. She will dance anytime she hears music or if she sees you dance. It's so funny. She LOVES Ryder. He saved her life today. I put the kids in Ryder's room to play while I got ready to take her to the Dr. and Ryder had dumped out his legos. She found a random piece of scrap paper that was in the lego box and put it in her mouth. Ryder came running into my room and said, "Mom! Tendra put sumping in her mouf!" So I went running in there and she was choking on that paper. YIKES! I'm glad it wasn't a lego! Ryder is not supposed to play with legos around his sister but he doesn't seem to wanna follow the rules these days.

Guess Who?

Spiderman (wearing riding goggles and a cape)???
Travis Pastrana???

NOPE! It's actually Ryder! Shocking, I know.

What has Kendra been up to?

Oh not much just hangin' with her besties...
eating fruity puffs...
sorting through her hair accessories...
playing with toys and being bald...
TRYING to crawl...
taking baths with her brother...
aaaaaand getting her head chopped off by her brother's Nerf sword. No big deal.

Vegas and Ryder's 3rd Birthday

We went to Vegas over the first weekend in February because Jake and Brendy had tickets to George Strait and said we could tag along on their trip AND Jon's parents agreed to keep the kids. OF COURSE we went. We love Vegas. And kid-less vacations. Unfortunately this is the only picture we took. I didn't want to carry my camera around OR a purse but I had to make sure I got this picture for Ryder. He is obsessed with Toy Story. We returned on Ryder's birthday, aka Superbowl Sunday. Jon's mom had made him a cake and got him balloons and presents. Thanks Barb! I felt bad that we weren't there for most of his special day but he didn't care he loves Grandma.
The topless birthday boy.
Getting ready to blow out the candles. Justin had a bunch of friends over for "the bowl" so they all gathered to sing Ryder happy birthday. He felt pretty cool.
Grandma bought him a swimming rescue puppy.
I forced KK to wear the puppy's goggles. HAHA!
Happy Birthday, Ryder!
Our family pic. HAHA! Gotta love it.
