"Bad idea Mom"

The pictures don't do it justice....

I have no idea why I thought this would be a good idea. But I did get the kitchen clean while she "ate" breakfast.

Our Rapunzel

Well not quite....but she is working on it. Her hair finally made it into pigtails this last week.

So cute!

And quite an improvement from this post.

(Just picture little mice singing)

And the sweeping and the dusting
They always keep her hopping 

morning makeover

Kendyl woke me up this morning with a bottle of mascara in her hand... and a new look.

The summer has been fun so far here. Lots of things to do in our new ward. Kendyl and I go swimming every week and to lots of different parks to play with the "mom group" in our ward. They say CO is like Utah... in UT there is a church on every corner, in CO there is a park on every street. 

Nathan is still looking for a job. Hopefully something will turn up soon. His joblessness (is that a word) is definitely not due to lack of trying and filling out countless applications. Nate starts summer school next week and has shoulder surgery a week from today. He has a SLAP tear in his left shoulder.  :-)

Kendyl has been very inventive in the ways that she communicates with us. For the most part we understand her. Except when we ask her a question, her answer is always "NOOO!" 

"Kendyl do you want a grape?"  "NO!"

"Kendyl do you want a cookie?" "NO!"

"Kendyl do you want to go outside?" "NO!"

We have finally realized that "NO!" means "yes" unless in is accompanied by a head shake and then it really means "no." Way to go Dad for figuring that one out.

**Post edit- no surgery as pain minimized. Hopefully it stays that way**
