Cub Scout requirements

2011-07-04T07:47:00.000-07:00

One of Jacob's requirements for Cub Scouts is learning about birds. He has to feed them, make a bird bath and put out a birdhouse. He has learned the names of birds and has even put out out nesting material for the birds to use for their nest building. He's been working hard on other requirements and is coming along quickly in earning his Wolf badge.

Baptism and Cub Scouts

Jacob and Bishop Keyes, getting ready to be baptized

Jacob by the Christ picture. We take pictures of all our kids in front of this picture right before they're baptized

Hayden jumped in at the last second and I have no idea what is up with Bob's expression

Jacob and his primary teacher, Sister Hoyrup

Jacob turned 8 in June. He's been so excited to be baptized and to be able to join scouts. He earned his Bobcat before his first Cub Scout meeting. He's been working on his requirements with me for weeks and he's really loving it. When he had his interview withe the Bishop for his baptism he told him that when you come up out of the water you are 8! Funny guy!

I'm a slacker

2010-01-21T20:51:00.000-08:00

I'm not doing so good with my blog lately. I have a pretty good excuse though. I broke my ankle on November 30th, the day Bob left on a det with the Navy. Go figure! I'm still in a cast!! It's been a challenge not being able to drive anywhere, carry the baby or chase after my 2 year old. I'm hoping to be walking again by late February!! Now...on with the pictures! I'm sure everyone would like to see how the kids have grown. So here are our family pictures for your viewing pleasure.......

I took this video awhile back and forgot to post it.

Little Ethan?

2009-09-25T19:26:00.000-07:00

Ethan is now 14 pounds and almost 23 inches long. He's in the 100% for weight and 70% for height. I guess we can stop worrying about if he's getting enough milk. Sheez!!

Kyle, Kyle, Crocodile!

2009-09-25T19:19:00.000-07:00

How did Kyle grow up so fast? What did I do...blink? He's in high school this year and going to seminary. Yikes!!

2009-09-25T19:13:00.000-07:00

Hayden giving kisses to Ethan. Gotta love those open mouth kisses!

Snugglin! Notice their arms are the same size? Ethan is chubby!

Up too late!

It's finally happened!! Kyle stayed up too late and turned into a pumpkin!

Goofy kids!

2009-09-25T18:54:00.000-07:00

Jacob a few days before we found his ears again.(haircut)

Bailey giving me a smile.

Ethan's not too thrilled with his halloween costume. As chubby as he is he makes a great pumpkin.

Don't you love it when the kids get out all the halloween costumes out and try to decide what to be for halloween? I think Kyle needs to rethink what to dress up as. Hahaha! He had a goofy moment and I got it on camera. I said I wouldn't post it on facebook but the blog....now that's a different story. Muwahahhahahahaha! (evil laugh)

Ethan in his swing.

Ethan's blessing

2009-09-07T18:31:00.000-07:00

Ethan was blessed at church on August 6th.

He was so happy about it that I got a smile out of him. (No, it's not gas)

Sleeping...what else is there?

Ethan wearing the pajamas that Bailey, Jacob and Hayden have all worn.

Happy Birthday to Bailey!

2009-09-07T18:29:00.000-07:00

Bailey turned 10 on August 31st!

Bounce house

2009-07-22T18:01:00.000-07:00

When we lived in California we had our own house so having a trampoline was not a big deal. The kids could go get their energy out whenever they walked out the back door. Well, now that we live in housing we're not "allowed" to have trampolines. (Lame!) Our kids no longer have an outlet. We decided to buy a bounce house to keep me from losing my mind and to also prevent the kids from slipping into comas. The great thing about it is that it inflates in 2 minutes and can be stored in the garage when we're not using it. It rolls up in a bag the size of a large sleeping bag. Now that is cool! All we need now is more balls for the ball pit. Let the fun begin!!

Hammock

2009-07-19T19:24:00.001-07:00

Last summer we made our own hammocks and had a lot of fun with them. We decided to make a new one this year. All you need is a flat sheet, braided nylon rope and a couple of goofy kids to try it out. Fun, fun, fun!!

2009-07-15T11:04:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I had a 3D/4D ultrasound. The baby would rather have slept than be messed with. He had his arm up the entire time. You can see it in both pictures. In the top picture you can see his elbow blocking his mouth. The bottom picture is a side view of his face. You can still see that arm in the way along with his other hand and fingers on the side of his face. He was scrunched up against my uterus and the placenta. He may come out a snuggler. Good thing since he'll be living in the moby wrap.

We got a ton of pictures, a CD with all the pictures on it and a DVD of the entire ultrasound. On the DVD he even opened his eyes for a moment. It was pretty cool! The entire family was allowed to come in the room and watch. The kids had never seen an ultrasound because it's not allowed in the hospital.

It was a fun experience for us. I would suggest to anyone thinking about getting one done to do it earlier. I did mine at 37 weeks and they're just so scrunched up in there by then. Either way...it was a nice bonding experience with the baby. I can't wait to meet him on the outside.

Cousins

2009-07-13T19:45:00.000-07:00

Hayden loved snuggling with his cousins, Sierra and Taya.

Hayden's ride

2009-07-13T19:35:00.000-07:00

We went to my sister Kay's house this weekend. The kids went swimming and then took turns riding on the quad. Of course, I didn't get pictures of everyone swimming and having fun. I got this video done not long before we loaded up to go home. Thanks Kay for all the fun and thanks to Sierra for sharing her quad with us. It was a lot of fun!!

2009-06-18T22:03:00.000-07:00

We took this video of Hayden on Jacob's birthday. Jacob got some star wars toys this year for his birthday. The expression on Hayden's face everytime the toy made noise was too funny not to share.

Jacob's 6th birthday!

2009-06-06T10:09:00.001-07:00

Jacob turned 6 years old yesterday! He woke up to a bunch of balloons in his room. He got some star wars toys and his first webkinz. We also had cupcakes and ice cream.

Daddy's home!

2009-06-06T10:05:00.001-07:00

Bob got home May 26th, in the evening. We were all excited to have him home. Hayden took a few days to warm up. They're good friends now! We're glad to be a family again. Hopefully he will be able to stay home for awhile.

Hayden's 1st haircut part 3

2009-05-21T13:42:00.000-07:00

I have to admit that part 2 of Hayden's haircut was a nightmare! He was even more wiggly than the 1st time. I gave up and took him to the NEX to finish it up. I should've just taken him there to begin with. He didn't move and it was done in about 5 minutes at most. Figures! He sure looks like a little man now!

Hayden's 1st Haircut part 2

2009-05-20T18:35:00.000-07:00

I got a little braver this time and cut off the curls covering his ears. You can now see his ears!! No more ringlets! I trimmed more off the top too. He's looking like a boy now!

Hayden's 1st haircut

2009-05-19T13:44:00.000-07:00

I didn't want to cut off to much. I didn't want it to be too drastic of a change because then I wouldn't reconize him. Haha! We'll take this haircut in shifts. 1. So I can get over my curl withdrawels. 2. So I only have to wrestle him to sit still for a little at a time. Check in again soon to see how short it is next time. He will look like a boy one of these days. Haha!

It's still long but not as long as it was.

He had a hard time sitting still and I was nervous about cutting off his curls.

But his ringlets are so precious!

Hayden right before his haircut. As you can see it's a fuzzy mess.

Jelly Belly Boy!

2009-05-17T20:02:00.001-07:00

Snacking on them.

Hayden sticking jelly belly jellybeans in his belly.

Hayden looking unimpressed with the whole salon experience. He was already bored and thinking "Do we have to be here?"

Hayden wasn't easy to entertain while Cassidy got her hair highlighted but he sure entertained me. I got him some jelly belly jellybeans out of the candy machine. He thought it would be funny to stick them in his "belly" and then eat them. Brings new meaning to "jelly belly" don't you think?

Cassidy's 12th birthday

2009-05-17T19:48:00.000-07:00

Happy Birthday Cassidy!!!

Best tasting ice cream cake ever!

After high lights and hair cut!

Cassidy getting her highlights done.

Her before picture.

Cassidy has been asking to get highlights done for awhile now. I guess she figured she had to put it on her birthday list to get them done. Well, it worked. She got her highlights and a new haircut! She even got an eyebrow wax. It's always nice to have two eyebrows instead of one. Hahaha!

2009-05-08T13:41:00.000-07:00

Fun on the slide

Day at the park

2009-04-30T22:05:00.000-07:00

Hayden had so much fun on the swings that he had to swing at home too!

2009-04-30T22:01:00.000-07:00

Today we went to the Fort Nugent park, Castle Park! The kids had fun playing and eating lunch there. Hayden loved the slides and swings! Everytime he went down the slide he had to wave at me from the top. Wha ta cutie. Jacob had a blast playing the sandbox and swinging.I pushed him so high that he yelled "That tickles!" Funny guy!

Snoozing

Jacob's shingles

2009-03-28T14:49:00.000-07:00

They look pretty painful and nasty, don't they?

Drama at the Kendalls

2009-03-28T14:26:00.000-07:00

I think it would be safe to say that I'm about to lose my mind. First Jacob came down with a case of shingles. After spending three hours at the base hospital waiting for them to tell me what I already knew (So much for him being contagious!) we were finally able to leave to get his meds at the pharmacy. Of course they don't have the main medication he needs there so we had to run over to walmart to get it there. After waiting there we found out they didn't have the prescription filled yet so I would have to come back. I ran through the drive thru at burger king for lunch. I dropped lunch off at home and since I had no time to call for a baby sitter I traded Jacob for Bailey and took off for my hair appointment. Kyle watched the kids still at home and Bailey came with me to keep an eye on Hayden for me while I got my hair done. Hayden was into everything!! He was knocking the shampoos off the shelf and tearing apart magazines. My person favorite was when he chewed up his animal crackers and then spit them out all over the floor, multiple times. Good times, huh? I was so tired that I didn't even bother to get my hair cut. I had it blow dried and then got the heck out of there. I then had to go back to pick up Jacob's prescription at walmart, which they only gave me half. I would have to come back tomorrow for the rest of it. I was not too thrilled about going to walmart three times for one prescription. I had been gone all day! I got home after 5pm! Terrible day!!!!

Jacob had to take his meds 4 times a day for 5 days. He started healing up fast. He's all better now and it's all clearned up, thank goodness! A person with shingles can not pass shingles to anyone else but they can pass on chicken pox. So Jacob has given Hayden a case of the chicken pox. Just when I thought things were calming down around here. Hayden started pocking out last night. When he woke up this morning he had more pocks all over his body. He had a fever of 102.8 but we knock that down with some tylenol. Poor baby is miserable!

So you can see that life in the Kendall house has not been fun lately. We've had other calamaties occur while dealing with all of this. When it rains it pours! Now that you've read this I'm sure you're probably thinking your life really isn't that bad at all. Am I right??

I thought for sure he had blinked in this picture. It turned out cute though because he's winking.

Look at those ringlets! He is so cute!

Kyle sure has grown into a fine young man.

Hey big brother!

Visiting Teaching

2009-03-03T18:55:00.000-08:00

My visiting teacher came over to see me and Hayden was not to sure about her. He laid on the floor with his face down so she couldn't "see" him. Well, at least he thought she couldn't see him. Funny guy! He fell asleep that way so I took a picture. Kids do the funniest things.

Hayden and his yogurt

2009-02-07T08:54:00.000-08:00

Hayden is so cute. He loves to feed himself. Lately, he thinks that using a spoon to eat his yogurt takes too long. As you can see, he has come up with a faster way to eat his yogurt. Funny little guy!

Sundays....

2009-01-25T18:00:00.000-08:00

Now that we go to church at 1pm, sundays can be very long at our house. We do what we can to keep the kids occupied until we go to church. Today we made a tent in the middle of the living room. Hayden have fun playing in it up until I brought out the camera. He was mad because I wouldn't let him have it.

There's a baby in there!

2008-12-24T12:14:00.000-08:00

Today I went in for my firt Doctor's appointment and ultrasound. We've been wondering about the due date since my cycle has been alot longer since I've had Hayden. We've been waiting for the first ultrasound so we could know when to expect the baby to come and Bob is leaving in February for a four month deployment. We found today that I'm actually two weeks less along than we thought. I'm not due until August 10th. So I'm only 7 weeks along instead of almost 10. Crazy! Even though I'll have to be pregnant 2 weeks longer than I thought it will all work out for Bob getting home for the birth.

Snow day!

2008-12-14T14:59:00.001-08:00

Today the kids had fun playing in the snow. Even though this was Hayden's first experience with snow he was unimpressed.

Baby #6 is on the way!

2008-11-30T10:33:00.000-08:00

We have another baby on the way. It was a surprise but not unplanned. I'm still a bit in shock over it, so it hasn't registered in my brain yet that I'm actually having another baby. Hayden is only a year old and seems little to me still. I wasn't going to say anything so soon but since Bob is getting ready to go on another deployment I'm going to need all the support I can get from family and friends. We're excited and pray for a healthy baby.

Thanksgiving!

Hayden's obsession with the toilet paper

2008-11-30T09:37:00.000-08:00

Hayden just can't help himself when it comes to the toilet paper in this house. He has to unroll it all. It's time to invest in toilet paper roll locks!

14th Anniversary

2008-11-20T16:07:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Bob and I celebrated our 14th anniversary. We were both amazed that we have made it this far and we haven't killed each other yet. Seriously!!

My day started out with a fun treasure hunt to find a gift from him. After several clues and going from one end of the house to the other I found some candy and a stuffed bear.

Later that evening we took a stroll downtown and visited the antique store. I love looking at antiques and I've been wanting to go in the shop since we moved here two years ago!! Antiques and kids do not go together and since I always have the kids with me there was no way I was ever going to get to go in there. So...last night we went in and even though it's not Bob's thing he did it for me. That made it all the more special.

We then drove to La Conner, a little town neither of us had ever been to. We had dinner at a restaurant that had the most amazing clam chowder and seafood. We'll be going back there again. We also found out that La Conner has several antique shops! Whoohoo! All the more reason to go back again. Haha!

He also gave me a new watch as a gift since I never know what time it is and I never carry around my cell phone. I'm always asking "what time is it?" because I buy cheap walmart watches that stop working way too soon. When I opened it he said, " This not a walmart watch." We had a great night together. We don't go out very often so it was a real treat. It was the best night we've had together in a long time.

My little scarecrow

2008-10-31T23:05:00.000-07:00

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!

2008-10-31T22:58:00.001-07:00

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!!

2008-10-27T21:09:00.000-07:00

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!!

2008-10-27T20:58:00.000-07:00

2008-10-27T20:53:00.000-07:00

Birthday boy!

Yummy cupcake!

2008-10-27T17:09:00.001-07:00

Look at my teeth!

2008-10-15T14:48:00.001-07:00

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

2008-10-15T14:40:00.001-07:00

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!

2008-10-11T11:12:00.000-07:00

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.

My little snugglers!

It's been awhile....

2008-10-05T22:03:00.000-07:00

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!

Happy Birthday Bailey!

Noise overload!

I don't know about you, but for me I like sundays. It's that one day out of the week where you can just be at peace. It's not like the other days out of the week where you are rushing here and there and everywhere and have a half million things to do and you know there's no way you're ever going to get them all done. Sunday is a break from all the craziness of the week. Sunday is the day when we can focus on spiritual things. We go to church and get spiritually filled up. The kids behaved really well during church today. Jacob was less wiggly and Kyle even gave a talk in sacrament meeting. It was when we got home that I began to suffer from noise overload. There was nonstop noise making, talking, singing in loud voices, wrestling, running in the house, yelling and screeching. There went my peaceful sunday afternoon. That's when I thought...someday my children will be grown and I'll miss all that noise. I thought how lonely this house would be without the laughter, singing, (even if it was loudly) running, and silliness and demands for my attention. I didn't get a quiet sunday afternoon like I wanted but I got something much more. I learned a valuable lesson today. I'm so grateful for the patience my children have for me as their mother. They have taught me so much about life. Even though motherhood is demanding at times it is very rewarding. There's nothing I would rather do than be here at home with my children. Let your children be little. They're only that way for awhile.

What's new with us

2008-08-17T23:23:00.000-07:00

Our new project has been re-doing the kids' rooms. We changed the bedrooms around to give the kids more room. The boys are now in the bigger bedroom that used to be the playroom. The playroom is now the smaller bedroom that the boys used to be in. You get the idea. The 'ole switcheroo! I like the change. We bought the kids new duvet covers and bedding. They were outgrowing their others and needed something a little less juvienile. We're still working on getting the curtains up. We haven't decided if we want to paint the walls. There are so many colors to choose from that we're on overload with colors. I'm starting to think white is good enough. When we finally get everything done in the rooms (who knows when that will be!) I'll post pictures on this blog for all to see. It's definately a work in progress.
