Pockets!

Twins!

There is a girl at school that has red hair just like my sweet Kendall.

And her name is Kenna!

She is not in Kendall's class - she is in the 3's. Her grandma is another teacher at the school. She told me a couple of weeks ago when Kendall wore her new Halloween outfit that Kenna had one just like it! So we planned on them both wearing their matching outfits today so we could take a picture.

Kendall gave her friend a hug:
Sweet Halloween friends...and twins!

Halloween Party!

This is going to be a fun year for holidays! Kendall is at a great age. We had a party last night with some of our friends. We ate soup, decoarted pumpkins, the kids wore their costumes, we had a PARADE, and then had dessert.

This year for Halloween Kendall is...her baby! Kendall's baby is a little pink blanket with a bear; it has her name embroidered on it, and a little heart that says baby. Kendall loves her baby! So, we had the idea of making a costume so that she can be baby. It turned out really cute. Jan and Ashley made the costume and Janis Colwell did the embroidery. I helped a little with the ears.

This is Kendall's buddy, Ella. They love each other. Ella's a pretty cute little pumpkin.

Ella already looks up to Kendall, like Kendall looks up to Ethan and Sarah.

The crowd is gathering for the parade!

We invited some of our friends without kids at home to come be our spectators. It was pretty short notice, but we had a GREAT turnout.

Molly dressed up for the festivites also!

We also had two pirates, Minnie Mouse, Belle, Buzz Lightyear, Pablo, and the princess and the pea.

The entry number for Kendall's float was "52-30". Which is also the final score of aTm's big win over tech on Saturday!

Ethan shared his Pablo hat with Jeff!

Pumpkin decorating!

Kendall was very excited about the pumpkin decorating. She loved using the glue stick.

That is one super-sweet "Baby"!!

Pumpkin Patch!

An alternate title for this post could be "How Many Pictures Can We Take Of Kendall With Pumpkins?" And the answer would be "A Lot."

Today was a beautiful, (finally) chilly day, so Randy and I decided to take Kendall to the pumpkin patch. We LOVE going to the pumpkin patch! And we LOVE taking pictures of Kendall with lots of pumpkins.

Randy pulled Kendall around in the wagon and she bent over to pick up all the little pumpkins.

Here is a video of her in the wagon:

The only way we could get a good picture of her by the growth chart was to put her in the wagon. She kind of doesn't really stand still these days. :)

Last year..."Kendall, where is your belly?"

As she was sitting on the bench next to the pumpkin, she said, "Kiss" and bent down to kiss it, then said, "Hug" and gave it a hug. So precious!

A different-looking pumpkin...

Smelling the flower.

And here are a couple more pictures from last year at the pumpkin patch. She was 8 months old and this was her first wagon ride. :)

Sometime next week we are going to go meet our friends at the pumpkin patch in our Halloween costumes. Check back for those pictures soon!

What a Good Reader!

Kendall loves to read her books! She loves for us to read to her, but she also loves to read them herself. Every book sounds the same. You'll hear it, but it sounds something like, "Wee-oh-wee-oh-wee-oh." I have been trying and trying to get it on video and was finally able to the other day. Enjoy a story from our sweet reader!

In this first one she reads for awhile and then sees the balls and says, "Balls! Balls!"

She points out the "potty" in the book in this last video. She talks about the potty a lot these days but doesn't do much on it. :)

First Football Game!

We have season tickets to the high school football games, but haven't been able to make a single game this whole season! Friday night was our first night to get to go to a game and it was homecoming for Brazoswood. We didn't have a sitter for Kendall, so we thought we would try taking her to the game. We planned on staying until halftime so we could see our friend Micaela in the homecoming court, and then we thought Kendall would be ready to go home. Well, she absolutely LOVED being at the game! We sit with a big group of our friends and she had such a ball sitting with everyone, watching the team, and playing in the seats. We ended up staying until the end of the game because she was so good!

She was very interested in watching the game! I think she was just in awe of all the people and all the sounds at the game. She really enjoyed the band, and when the football team was playing she kept saying, "Go boys go!!" So precious!

One of the cheerleaders threw her a football when Brazoswood scored, and she had a good time playing with that and putting her stickers on it.

Several times she crawled over Michael and Noelle and went to sit with Kathy ("Kaki") and Greg. She also went back and sat with Aaron and Jeff for awhile. She's such a social butterfly. :)

Last night we went over to Kevin and Jan's to watch the Aggies play (so sad) and while we were watching the game Kendall sat in our laps saying, "Go boys go!" Then Randy had football on this afternoon and she said the same thing, along with "football!!" She is going to love watching the Aggies play someday!!
