August 12, 2009 First day of Kindergarten!

I just can't believe she is in KINDERGARTEN!!! It just seems like yesterday that we put her in the car to bring her home from the hospital. I have been taking her to school every morning but she is still daily, morning and night, asking about getting to ride the bus to school. I am sure she would be fine, I just worry about older kids on the bus, her learning things she doesn't need to know from them, rough housing, learning bad behaviors, the bus wrecking,....I could go on...but I will stop there. :o) She loves kindergarten and her teacher, she is learning a lot and having fun too! We have already had homework! Grandma helped Kendall with part of it this weekend, Thanks Grandma! (this is the only first day picture I have, my camera blacked out the rest!!! Uggh!!!)

Summer 2009

Kendall has been having a ball this whole summer. She has grown so much this summer and her personality has really been developing. She is quite a character, such a sense of humor! She loves to laugh and I still love to hear it! She has had so much fun at the Jungle this summer, on the field trips and swimming, and learning all of the science lessons. She is just so grown up now! :o) Not sure how I feel about that though! lol :o( It just doesn't seem possible for her to be such a big girl now!

Panama City Beach, FL August 2009

Kendall had a BALL! We went on vacation with Grammie, Papa, Aunts Tammy & Tiffany, cousin Delaney and of course, Mommy, Daddy and Kendall. We had a condo right at the beach. Kendall LOVED collecting shells, we went over to the beach pretty much every morning to collect shells and spent several afternoons there too. Kendall swam in the ocean and rode in the small boat Daddy bought for her and built sand castles with Aunt Tiffany and Delaney.

We spent most of the days at the pool. Kendall was swimming with just floaties instead of her life jacket by the end of the first day and was swimming completely on her own by the end of the second day. The third day she was like a little fish, she learned to dive (really well!), blow out through her nose and swim underwater. We saw dolphins, a big jelly fish, and a sting ray from the pier before dinner one night. And Kendall and her daddy were swimming one morning and saw dolphins near the shore maybe 50-60 ft away. Kendall and Delaney had the best time with each other, swimming & playing games and they even put on a show for us every night. They even got Papa up to do the hula with them one evening!

It was a great vacation!
