My little scarecrow

I took this picture prior to halloween. He has a little crow on top of his hat.

This was taken halloween night. He sure is a cutie!

My little goblins!

Bob was the cat in the hat. Hayden was a scarecrow that didn't want to wear his hat.

Jacob was a pirate...arrrgg!

Kyle was Indiana Jones.

Bailey was a witch.

Cassidy was a vampire. Apparently she made more vampires while at the trunk or treat party.

I'm a big boy now!!

Hayden turned one year today! I thought it would be fun to post some of his baby pictures. So here he is now and whe nhe was just little. He's gotten so big!!

Birthday boy!

Yummy cupcake!

Look at my teeth!

I had to go out a buy a new camera this week because my old one pooped out on me while we were at the pumpkin patch. I'd been trying to catch Hayden's smile where he shows off his teeth but every time I get the camera he takes off or won't smile. Apparently he likes my new camera because all he does is smile for the camera now! Look at my teeth!! I'm a big boy!! He has just cut his fourth tooth.

Pumpkin patch

We went to to pick out some pumpkins but our camera died on us. This was all I was able to get of Hayden's first time of picking out pumkins.

Sick again!

Ok, so I'm sick again! Every time Bob comes home from a det I get sick. It's like all the stress gets released and my body just goes "Enough, I'm going to be sick now." That's what I've been dealing with the past week and a half. Argh! I even went to the doctor because I have been having trouble with my eyes. Talk about wasting my time there. The doctor didn't even look at my eyes. She just walked in and said "you have this....." She didn't even ask me any questions. Typical navy doctors. In and out with NO service. I can't wear my contacts so I've been wearing my old glasses. They are about 3 prescriptions old! So I can't see very well. I always wear my contacts so never got around to getting new glasses. I made it a priority this past week to pick out a new pair. I'll probably be able to start wearing my contacts before they even come in. Figures.

Canning peaches

When it came time to can peaches Hayden decided he'd help too. He helped by trying to eat them all! Here's my little fruit eater enjoying his peach.
We went over to a friends house after the whole canning evolution. He saw the same kind of crates of fruit at their house.He crawled right over and helped himself to their fruit too. He grabbed a pear and chowed it down skin and all. I would have loved to have had my camera then.

Sleeping beauties

My little snugglers!

It's been awhile....

It's been awhile since I've done anything on my blog. Bob was gone again on another debt for the Navy. So I haven't had a whole lot of time to myself. He went to Maryland this time. He'd only been home a week from his debt to Texas when he had to go out again. He's home now and we're all hoping he gets to stick around for awhile.

The kids are doing great with school. The Maeser Academy is working out great for our family. We are really enjoying the curriculum and learning about the Old testament.

Kyle has been keeping busy with home teaching, scouts (almost 1st class) and his Duty to God requirements. You can always find him at all the service projects! We are proud of his willingness to serve.

Cassidy enjoys going to achievement days at church on tuesday nights. She loves listening to music and singing. Her new found joy is putting on plays for her family. I have to admit they've been pretty comical and very entertaining. She gets the younger kids to participate, of course.

Bailey is always reading! She just recently got a bag full of books from her Aunt Kay to read. She's been reading nonstop. She's happy girl with a loving heart. She's a little mommy to Hayden. He adores her and so do we.

Jacob is five. Need I say more? I don't know what it is about my kids but when they turn five but whoa! Look out! My kids don't get the terrible twos...they get the funky fives! Jacob is in his challenging stage of life right now. Testing everything is his game and he's great at it. We love him anyway no matter how challenging he gets. His favorite thing to do now is write out his letters and write his name. He loves school!

Hayden is growing up too fast. He changes every day it seems. He's always on the go and getting into everything! He's very busy! He has a ton of hair on his head...curly! He's got three teeth,two on top and one on the bottom. He's taken his first few steps at walking. His prefered way of travel is crawling, because it's faster. He'll be a year old on the 27th of this month.

We finally got the girls' room painted. It looks good! I'll post pictures as soon as I can. Now we can move on to the next project. Of course, we'll take forever to get the next one done too. That's life at the Kendall house!
