Swimming

Trying to find things to do this time of year since the weather just never seems nice enough on the weekends to get outside. Kendall loves swimming so we took her last Sunday (or should I say Shane took her), I watched from the side. We had a big temper tantrum when it was time to leave. I think we better take her again this weekend since the weather report is calling for more rain. I have a feeling she is going to live in the pool when we go to Arizona for spring break.

Kendall's 2nd Birthday

We celebrated Kendall's 2nd birthday at our house last Saturday with my family, Shane's parents, and Julie and the boys. She was pretty excited to have all these people here for her and she understood opening presents this time and like that part. I ordered cake pops from a girl in Lynden because I don't like to bake. She didn't understand that she had to wait to have them.

Opening her cabbage patch from the Price's. Once she turned the box over and saw what is was she said "OH, a baby!"

Crew is sitting on her new balance bike (in the picture above) she got from Grandpa and Grandma.

She also loved all her special toys and book she got from Grammy and Papa.

Finally she could have some cake pops, I think she had 2 or 3 of them.

A lot of catching up

Life has been busy the past month and when I have down time I can't seem to get motivated to do ANYTHING! I finally feel like I am catching my breath. I started middle school volleyball the end of January and our short season is almost over, only 2 weeks left! I am go glad it always goes by so fast because if it was any longer of a season, I am not sure I would coach and teach full time. It can be a lot! Shane's basketball season ended the middle of February with a triple overtime loss to end the season. It was a bummer! Kendall and I both had birthdays the past week. Kendall turned 2 on the 23rd of February and I turned the big 3-0 on the 26th, in case you missed the ticker Shane put on the side of our blog. Now I have to figure out how to get it off. I got a new camera from my parents, Shane's parents, and Shane so I will finally have some quality pictures to post once I learn how to use it better. More of Kendall's birthday pictures to come but for now here are some pictures of things that are keeping us busy. We had a 4 day weekend if February and it was a nice break from school and volleyball. The Pemberton's came to visit but I didn't get my new camera until the night before they left that this the only picture I got of anyone from the Pemberton family.

This is Shane and Dave before we left to go out for my surprise birthday dinner and Carolyn pulled my new camera out of her purse to take a picture of the boys then handed it to me and said it was my birthday present. When I was checking out my new camera here were some pictures that were already on it. I take it Shane played around with it a little to try it out.

We are in the process of moving Kendall to the guest room. This is the new quilt my Mom made for her bedspread. We just finished painting today so we should have it all put together by next weekend. We ask her if she wants to sleep in her new bed every night but she says No, so we will keep her in her crib as long as she wants since she sleeps so good.
