Labor Day Weekend 2008

This Labor Day Weekend ended up turning out very weird. Wayne's dad was racing in town, and then Wayne found out he had to work so he spent the whole weekend going back and forth from the track to home to work. Needless to say he was exhausted by Monday. He always seems to over work himself...Anyways, Friday and Saturday Kendall got to spend a lot of quality time with her cousin Kamryn. Kamryn is now walking and she was ALL OVER Kendall. LoL They were very entertaining. Kamryn would grab Kendall's shirt and when she tried to run away Kamryn would just hold on and run behing her! LoL She wanted to hug and kiss her the whole time and she had to be touching her at all times! Kendall is very into doing her own thing and she wasn't very happy about Kamryn always having to be RIGHT there, but then there were times when Kendall seemed to like it. They were in their carseats Saturday morning, right next to eachother, and Kendall decided she wanted to hold Kamryn's hand. It was the cutest thing ever! I wish I would have thought to take a picture. I did get some pictures of them standing at the fridge chatting. Kendall was going on and on about something and Kamryn was listening so intently, and then they would look at eachother and laugh! They are such funny little girls. :) Saturday afternoon we were getting ready to barbeque when Steph started saying that she wasn't feeling very well. Then Josh threw up, then Steph, and then Kendall!!!! I was totally shocked! She ended up throwing up like 4 times, but Steph was sick until like 1:30 in the morning! Right when Steph stopped throwing up Kathy started throwing up, then my dad got sick Sunday afternoon, and I started throwing up early Monday morning! It was pretty crazy! I have no idea what we caught or if we all ate something bad or what happened, but it sucked. Oh well, I guess it happens. Everyone is starting to feel much better so that is good. I made a picture pile of all the pics I took of the girls. There are some super cute ones!

Denver, CO

Thursday morning we loaded up the car and headed for Denver for a race. We LOVE road trips! It was supposed to be something around 750 miles, taking about 11 hours, but we were planning on taking some scenic detours and stopping A LOT. We knew that it was going to take us a lot longer than 11 hours. LoL So we drove through Zions which is always beautiful. I love the tunnel up there. It's amazing. After that we stopped at a lot of scenic pullouts and took lots of pictures. It was a lot of fun. Right before we came into Denver there was another pass to go over and it was FREEZING! We took a picture of the thermometer in the car because it said it was 37 degrees outside! CRAZY I really wish that we would have gotten to go over this pass in the daytime because it looked like it would have been beautiful. We got to the track at about 2 AM and went straight to bed. The next morning when we woke up it was pouring. That obviously meant no racing. We had to make an emergency run to Wal Mart for some warm clothes because all I had packed us was shorts and tank tops. LoL So we sat around for 2 DAYS playing cards, watching movies, and trying to stay warm. Sunday morning the rain finally cleared up, they started to dry the track and we were ready to race! Wayne's dad got to go 2 passes and then we loaded everything up. We had heard earlier in the day that they were going to close the pass because of snow so we loaded up my car in the trailer and headed to Casper. I was looking forward to seeing Wayne's home town. We got to Casper about midnight. We were all exhausted and headed to bed. Unfortunately the next morning we didn't have a lot of time to visit because we had to start heading home, but Wayne did show me a couple houses that he had lived in and I finally got to meet his best friend Wade. It was a good visit. Driving this way is about 12 hours, so we knew it would take us about 14. LoL We ended up not making it the whole way. We got to St. George at 1 AM and had to stop at my moms to sleep. Then we got up early the next morning and got Wayne home in time to go to work. The poor guy was so exhausted yesterday! It was a good long weekend and we all had a lot of fun, but I think it's going to take us a weekend at home to recuperate. :)

Weekend Fun

Kendall and I spent this last weekend in Tonopah. (Wayne had to work. :() We had so much fun hanging out with family and friends. My best friend Robin was in town and we spent the majority of our time at her dad's house. He has a beautiful yard and also a swing that hangs from a tree in the front yard. It was the cutest swing ever and perfect Kendall size! At first she was a little scared of it, but when Robin's dad put her on it she loved it! It was so nice to be able to hang out ouside and not immeditely melt! We spent ALL day Saturday outside and Kendall got her first sunburn. Luckily it doesn't seem to bother her at all. Josh, Steph, Miranda, and Kamryn were there too and Kendall wasn't very nice to Kamryn. :( Kamryn pretty much spent the whole time chasing Kendall around while Kendall ran away screaming. I don't understand why she is so mean! Hopefully she gets out of this stage soon. Other than that it was a very fun weekend!

I just got these pictures emailed to me and I couldn't figure out how to add them to my collage.

GRANDMA AND HER GIRLS

KENDALL'S FACE IS HILARIOUS IN THIS ONE. :)

HA HA HA

HER EYES ARE SOOOO BEAUTIFUL IN THIS PICTURE!

CRAZY GIRL!!!

Kendall loves closing herself in the bedroom, whether it's mine and Wayne's, or hers. She just likes to be in there with the door closed. Anyways, I usually give her a few minutes and then I go open the door and tell her to leave it open. LoL We do this all day long. Well earlier she closed herself in my room, so I gave her her usual few minutes and then I went to check on her. This is what I found...

Yes, that is my bra, panties, and pants on her head!

Dance! Dance!

Maybe it's time to purchase some dress up clothes!

Entertainer

My step sister had a hair appointment this morning, so Kamryn got to come play for a couple hours! Kendall had so much fun entertaining her! She was being so crazy running around, dancing, and throwing her head back against the couch. Kamryn thought she was HILARIOUS!!! It was so fun to watch them play together. :) Here are a few pics....

Kissing cousins!LoL

Doing a little dance.

Crazy girls!

Here is Kendall in the process of throwing her head back against the couch as hard as she can. Over and Over and Over.... LoL

Kamryn was seriously laughing SO hard!

18 Months old!

I can't believe my daughter is 1 1/2 already! I know I ALWAYS say this, but time really does fly by!!!! Well, I don't really have any new updates so I will just tell you a few things she does lately. She doesn't have to see the dr. again until she is 2 so that is good! Her new favorite thing to do is sing and dance. She makes like an "S" sound and kind of sways back and forth. LoL I am going to attempt to post a short video of it at the end of this post. She is obsessed with closing doors and drawers, if I leave them open she closes them immediately. If I am in the fridge looking for something she is trying to push the door closed with me still inside. :) My tupperware is hardly every in the cupboard anymore. I usually find it under the couch. LoL She also likes to take the hand towels out of the kitchen and use them to clean the TV. At least the bottom part of our TV screen is never dusty! Hmmm...what else....she is still taking 2 naps a day, which I LOVE. :) She LOVES soda! If I have a soda I can't turn my back for a second without her grabbing it and running off. She is still a pretty good eater, but lately we are having a hard time getting her to eat meat....hopefully she grows out of it though. Oh, and she also LOVES to talk on the phone as long as nobody is on the other end! She will go on and on until I hand her the phone to talk to someone and then she is silent. Well I could go on and on about little Miss Kendall Jean, but I will end it here. :)

Night on the town!

Last night we decided last minute to meet some friends down at the forum shops at Ceasars Palace and go to Fao Schwartz. Last minute meaning 8 P.M., just an hour before Kendall's bedtime. LoL We ended up getting home at about 12:15. Ha Ha Kendall was so good though! She had so much fun playing with her friend Lauren. Their favorite thing to do was push around the baby strollers. :) After Fao Scwartz we decided to go to The Cheesecake Factory since it was right there and it's our favorite. The girls were really good there too! It was just a fun little night out!
