We'll have one more just like this in our family!

Yep, IT'S A GIRL!

We're all super excited...and Kendyl has no clue.

She loved that futon

Everyday Kendyl love, love, loves climbing on the futon and looking out the window.

And now it's gone.

Kendyl cried hysterically when some people came to buy our futon and started carrying it out the door. She did the same to our couch that we also sold a few weeks ago and from experience knew that it probably wasn't ever coming back.

Poor girl.

The boys who came to pick it up actually thought they jammed her fingers in it or something- that's how hard she was crying. She was red-faced with tears pouring off her face.

We'll just have to make sure she's out of the house when we move the rest if the stuff.

And to think she didn't even cry that hard when we boxed up all her toys.

And yes, this would all be funny if it wasn't so...sad.

This place is a zoo...literally.

Today we went to the IF zoo. We were there 1 1/2 hours and saw every exhibit twice. But it was pretty fun being there with Kendyl who LOVES animals right now- although it took her a while to warm up.

Only in Idaho (I think) do they have a farm exhibit.

She really wanted to go in.

Her favorite was the baby goat. I have no idea why.

The lazy lions who would not move at all, despite Kendyl's attempts of roaring at them.

And the best part, of course, was a blue sucker on the way home.

15 months going on 15 yrs?

dilly bars, laptops, and bathing suits...

are her favorite things.

but then who doesn't love dilly bars?

or killing time on their laptop?

(she came running in my room wearing this outfit plus her fuzzy snow hat on Sun. afternoon. she's into picking out her own clothes these days and her daddy obliges.)

or wearing their swimsuit...especially if you have her legs!
