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**
