Kendall: Visiting Kiki and Pops!

I blogged already over on Cooper's blog about our visit with Kiki and Pops, but Kendall got to do a few extra fun things that Coop didn't get to do! One of those things was going to the "princess" store with Kiki on Monday. Kendall was super excited about this, and I was excited to get to tag along with them! The name of the store was "GirlyGirl," which describes Kendall perfectly! She loved sitting in the little princess chair they had sitting out front.

Kiki let her pick out something from the store, and Kendall chose a pink backpack with a kitty keychain and also a set of nail polishes with lip glosses. She was in heaven! She also helped me choose a pink flower bow for Cooper and Kiki picked out the cutest birthday outfit for Coop! Kendall was so proud of her new things!! Thank you so much Kiki!

One of the other things Kendall loves to do at Pops and Kiki's house is play with and watch Conrad Birdie, the parakeet they got from Peeps. Dad sends Kendall pictures all the time of Conrad so Kendall was excited to get to "feed" him and play with him.

Dad had some rose bushes to plant while we were there, and so he asked Kendall if she would help him plant his flowers. She told him she would, but we got busy, so he ended up doing it one day during her nap. She helped him water them, but apparently that wasn't good enough because that night before we put her to bed, she asked for Pops to come up and talk to her and she told him that she didn't get to plant his flowers with him!! He told her he would get more flowers for her the next day and that they would plant them together! So Monday night, before we met Alden and Scott for dinner, Kendall and Pops planted "Kendall's garden!" So sweet! She loved helping Pops dig the holes for the flowers and put the new flowers in. He has already sent her some pictures of her garden and she is so proud!

We met Alden and Scott for dinner in Roanoke on Monday night and ate at a fun restaurant called The Twisted Root. Aunt Auggie and Uncle Scott had a birthday present for Kendall...a Hello Kitty lunch box!! Since she got it, Kendall has been saying, "Mom. What's that kitty's name?" And I say, "Hello Kitty?" "Yes! Hello Kitty!" She cracks us up. She is already carrying her jewelry, make-up, and "skings" around in it!

After dinner we were walking down the main street there in Roanoke and we saw a bunny in the front yard of this old church! Kendall was so excited to see it, and Randy was pushing her in the stroller, so she said, "Dad! Can we get that bunny?!" Of course, Randy took off after it!

They chased that poor bunny all around the old church, it came back around the front, and they kept chasing it in front of a cute little coffee shop! The bunny got away, Randy got out of breath, and Kendall got a fun ride!
