Kendyl Wendyl is 5! We love you!

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you!
I can't believe my girl is 5! It can't be true, somebody pinch me! Kendyl you are one of a kind. So, full of life and love, passionate about EVERYTHING. You are a strong woman and I love that about you. You're smile can light up the world! You love to entertain as none other than the center of attention, you're a leader, smart and sassy "fussy broad" in the best way! You're a great little friend and helper to mommy and I couldn't live a day without you! You were sent to me with a BIG spirit in a little 8 lb 2 oz body to keep me on track. I feel so lucky to be your mommy and hope we can have so much more fun together as we both grow and learn from one another. Actually, I think you're the one who is really leading me and hopefully I can show some cool things along the way! I love you Bubba!
(just case anyone was wondering, her birthday was actually Valentine's Day...it just took me this long to figure this slideshow thing out! HAH!)

Ahh, Paigie

There must be something about the name!(Jess) We got the name for our second girl from our good friends in Arizona when we only had Kendyl. When we found out we were pregnant with #2 and were then living in P town we figured it was fair game to use the name. Little did we know that it came fully loaded! I don't think I can make this sound as funny as it was at the time but I'll give it a shot...
So, we were at Costco doing some Christmas shopping. I had Kendyl and baby brother with me and Chris and Paige were sitting at one of the little tables by the food. Paige sees a woman pushing a cart with a baby carrier that looks just like ours. (Now, keep in mind, Paige is not exactly a quiet or shy child...okay, that's putting it mildly.) All of a sudden she stands up on the top of the table and without hesitation she belts out, "HEY LADY!...WHERE YA' GOIN WITH MY LITTLE BROTHER???" I know, it doesn't have the same punch as when she says it but awe, I LOVE this girl! She is soooo funny. I need to write down the other Paigisms, they're good times.
