I think the dino costume is a little small, Andrew!  ha ha

The 5 year old was here - I think I'll wait awhile before I wash them.

My dad got me a new accessory for my desk ... Jack!

Kendall's the birthday girl, so anything goes! 

Always has to have something around her neck, but refuses to wear a bow!

Kendall's 1st birthday

Kendall had her first birthday, and we celebrated with a snow-cone themed party.  The girl does love her daddy's snow cones and knows exactly what's going on when the machine and flavors come out.  I made cupcakes that looked like snow cones for her cake (1st birthdays are my domain in the cake department - Brandon gets the hard ones when they can actually make a request).  I also made a snow cone banner, and tried to keep it pretty simple.  We celebrated with dinner and dessert with the Tompkinsons (Kendall and Garrett's birthdays are only a day apart), Perkinsons, and Gunnells.  

Kendall is our precious, little angel baby!  Her personality is just barely starting to really come out and it is fun to see that fun side of her.  She loves to play by the big kids, and she is starting to copy everything they do.  She is very independent and walks everywhere.  She is my best sleeper of all three, and takes longer daytime naps than Rachel and Andrew did.  She's the light of our lives, and she has been such a good addition to our family!

Halloween!





Middle:  Rachel with her best friend, Holly; bottom middle: Andrew with his full costume on for about 2 seconds
Get this ... no costumes allowed at our Elementary School - bummer!   I had it all laid out (not knowing the school's costume policy, so then I started texting moms, and it's a good thing I did because I had no idea!

Gorgeous weather!  The week before Halloween, we went to a free event put on by the City of Mesa.  They had bounce houses, trick-or-treating, firetrucks/helicopters/buses, etc.  

I knew the Jesus beard would come in handy … for our Duck Dynasty costume :)
