Addison's 2nd Birthday

We got to make cupcakes on Addison's birthday last week!

As you can see I'm breaking the rules and licking the spoon. You can tell by Addison's look that isn't too happy with me licking my spoon and sticking it back in the bowl!! Or maybe she's just mad she didn't think it do that first!!
I love helping Mom bake.

Finally we were able to stick our fingers in the bowl and get every last drop of that wonderful batter!!

After the cupcakes were done we got to decorate them with lots of sprinkles. We probably ate more sprinkles than we actually put on the cupcakes!!

The following weekend Addison had a big Mexican Fiesta birthday party at her house. There was lots of people there, we all had a great time. Look at Addison's Mickey Mouse cake, it looks so cool!

The cupcakes tasted GREAT!!!

Mother's Day at the zoo

Mother's Day was the day after the wedding so we were still in Wichita. Daddy had to work so we went to the Wichita Zoo (which is amazing) with Grandma, Brayden and Konnor. It was the best Mother's Day!!

First we saw the Monkeys, this one was sitting right by the glass and you could watch it's eyes follow you when you walked by.

I love elephants!! I kept asking all the animals "what are you doing?" and I made sure to tell them all "BYE, SEE YOU NEXT TIME!!"

Zebras!

At this Monkey exhibit we got a great look at the monkey's behind!!

Mommy even packed us a lunch so we got to eat outside right next to the giraffes!!

I was feeding time when we got to the giraffes so we got to see them up close.

These were really BIG turtles.

I thought those snakes were "Di-gu-sting"

We got to see the new penguins exhibit. It was fun to watch them dive and swim under water.

We had the best day at the zoo. Everyone thought it was gonna be too cold but it turned out to be the perfect day for the zoo. Anyone that has talked to me since that day has heard all about the animals I saw. I talk about them everyday and ask Mom just about everyday if we can go back to the zoo.

Wichita Weekend

Daddy got ordained to be a minister so he could marry Aunt "Pretty" and Uncle P's friends, Aaron and Ashlee. So we got to go to Wichita for the weekend and hang out with everyone.

I always have so much fun playing outside at Grandma's house. I love it when Daddy picks me up really high and lets me hang from the basketball rim!!

Here is Uncle Klint. He just got done walking in the Riverfest parade and Grandma wanted some pictures of him in his uniform. We never get to see him all dressed up. I love my Uncle "Tent". One day last week all I wanted to do was see "Tent", Mommy thought it was random since I hadn't even seen or talked to Klint in so long. After lunch that day I got so mad and the only thing that made me happy again was talking to Klint.

During Daddy's wedding I played "ring-a-round-the-rosies" with Brayden and Konnor. Mommy basically let us do whatever we wanted as long as we were quiet. As soon as Daddy started his ceremony I yelled across the room "DADDY!!!", everyone thought it was funny...except Mom!

Brayden and Konnor

I even got to dance with Daddy!! I have the best Daddy ever!

Here is Aunt Pretty and Uncle P, don't they look pretty?!

BonJovi Concert

Mom and Dad took Grandma Clelia to the BonJovi concert a few weeks ago, she had the time of her life. I got to stay at Addison's house so I had a fun night as well. (Especially since Michelle forgot how tall I am and my ability to get out of bed and turn on the lights and fan in the bedroom, bathroom, and closet... that was fun!!!)

Their seats were to the side of the stage, they were great seats!!

Mommy and Daddy!!

Addison and I

I love twirling around in my tutu, on this day Mom had a really hard time getting it off of me. I almost got to wear it to the restaurant, but I finally gave in and took it off. Although I think it would have been really funny to wear it at the restaurant.

I have always loved apples but now I realized that I can eat the whole thing without Mom's help.
For those of you that hadn't heard... I'm gonna have a little BROTHER!! I'm sure you can all imagine my Dad's excitement in the ultrasound room!

Here is the proof... you are looking at the butt checks and his package!! They tried to get an even better picture but he wouldn't take his hand off of it... just like his Dad!!!

Grandpa Cold Beer & Grandma Lynn

Grandpa Cold Beer and Grandma Lynn came to visit last week. Grandpa was a big help with the deck that Daddy is building. I don't know what Daddy would have done without Grandpa's help.

I had fun reading with Grandma Lynn. Her and Grandpa were impressed by all the stuff I know.
While Daddy and Grandpa were working on the deck Mommy was busy painting the office. (Maybe we will get a finished picture on here soon). I loved helping Mom. She would let me paint for a minute then I would tell her "your turn" I'd only give her about 5 seconds before I would ask "Kendall's turn??" It looks so pretty now!

Daddy, Mommy's Uncle Dan, and Grandpa working on the deck.

I tried to help as much as they would let me.

Even after working all day on the deck, Grandpa Cold Beer still found time to read me stories. I think we read just about every book on the bookshelf, I have the best Grandpa!!

Grandpa wasn't able to stay long enough to finish the deck but he made sure Daddy knew what he was doing before he left. Since Grandpa wasn't here to help I figured I might as well help Daddy, I'm sure he appreciated it. Our deck is so close to being done now, I'll have Mommy take a picture of the finished product when it's done.

Look at Mommy's flowers!! I love being out there helping her with her plants. But we have to say thanks to Grandma Clelia for helping us plant all these bulbs last fall. There are even more flowers bloomed now!!

Random pictures

My Grandma signed me up to get this toy catalog and I love looking at the pages and showing mom all the cool toys!

Mommy and Me!!

I love helping Mom. I always get to pull all the grapes off the stems. As I'm doing it I like to tell Daddy "Kendall big helper".

Addison and I love watering the flowers but I think that Mom gets tired of filling up our pails every 30 seconds!

Everytime we see flowers I tell Mommy "Pretty flowers, smell flowers?" Mom lets me smell as long as I don't touch.
Sometimes I like to act like the teacher and read books to Addison, I tell her all about what is going on in the pictures
