Helping mommy clean

It was an eventful month. Kendall finally broke her top two teeth and they are slowly making their way down. She is still a busy little girl. Runs around everywhere and plays with all her big cousins. She still loves her tubby time and loves to swim. She loves bananas, bread, string cheese, blueberries, and eggs. However we learned the hard way that string cheese is no good for the digestive system. She loves the throw things in the shower and loves to put my sports bras and undies around her head. She helps me clean and loves to dust the tv stand. She growls like crazy. It cracks people up. Anytime she see's an animal she growls. She growls at people when they talk to her. She growls when she toots and then laughs. On top of growling she makes the noise of breathing in real deep threw your throat. Like a loud gasp.... I guess. Between the two noises she really gets people laughing. Her hair is still blond and very little. Everyone keeps saying her hair is growing in but it looks the same to me. She loves to dance! Any hint of music or a beat she will start dancing. She will shake her head yes or no if she wants something. Makes it easier for me to get her what she wants. I have showed her how to do a somersault a couple of times and now she will walk over to me and put her hands on the ground to do one. She has tried to do it by herself but doesn't get the tuck and roll part and just falls on her head. Hopefully this summer she will start at Champion. Her kisses are now with tongue which makes it extra slobbery. She isn't allergic to bee's we found out while in Palm Springs, but she sure cried and cried after being stung. She loves books, but doesn't have a long enough attention span to read the words. Still wont say Ma Ma for anything... it's like a game to her now when I tell her to say Ma Ma she laughs and says Da Da.... I used to tickle her but have stopped that now. She loves to play peek-a-boo it cracks us all up. Her eyes are still a beautiful blue and people will always comment on them. She finally fits in her size of clothes 12 months. Still wears size 3 shoe and almost weighs 20 lbs. She is so fun and we absolutely love her. She is the highlight of our lives. We are so blessed with such a great baby. ... toddler

This Month

Adam completed his first Century Ride! We went to Palm Spring over Valentines weekend. It was a blast and even with a huge swollen sprained ankle he finished 100 miles in 5 1/2 hours!!

Grandma Madge passed away. Such an incredible experience. I am so thankful to have been there and be able to say goodbye. She was an amazing person and will be missed greatly by her family and friends.

Kendall turns One

Our little bug is now a toddler.... Seriously where does time go. Here are some pictures from the party. She was so fun and there was so much love and support there. She is one loved girl

THE YUMMY TREATS

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY

Things have been very hectic. 2 1/2 weeks ago Derek Krystal and I did a Sprint Triathlon. It was so fun. We didnt really train for it before hand so we were super nervous the morning of. (Derek claims he wasnt but Krystal and I think different) I started first out of us three cause I am the slowest. By some crazy chance Krystal and I swam in the same lane! It was so exciting cause I was turing and I hear CASSIDY and there is Krystal by my side. We swam and ran out to our bikes. It was cold! I dont have a road bike so I used my mountain bike which made it a lot harder. I was giving everything I had on every hill (there were 3 pretty good hills) and these people on their road bike would just fly by me. The bike was the hardest for me...Which surprised me. I am strongest on the bike but apparently not this day... Anyway did our 10 miles on the bike and as I was running in the transition area I see Krystal jogging in place waiting for me! It made me feel so good. So we start jogging and I am clearly keeping Krystal behind so I tell her to go ahead and off she goes! We ran our 3.2 miles and it was all over. It was so fun and got me so excited for the next one. I for sure will have a road bike and will train better for the next one! I didnt get any pictures but Krystals family got tons. I hopefully will get some from them and post.
Then the following weekend Adam Kendall and I went up North because I had signed up for an expo. While we were up there we got to see a lot of our friends. Thursday night we met up with Tara Troy Nichole Rhett Nick and Cason. It was fun to see all of them and Tegan and Ever. Friday Adam met with the U about their MACC program and it went really well. Then on Sat we went on a group date with Nate Linley T and Shayli. It was so good to see all of them... It really made us excited for the possiblity of moving up there next summer. Then we headed home....
In the middle of all of that I have had a whole lot of cheer practices. We have a NCA competition that we are hosting the first weekend of Dec. It is a week away and I couldnt be more excited and nervous. It is such a different feeling being the coach at comp then the one actually performing. I just hope I have done everything I can to have them ready and confident.
I have to sit down and do my posts for Kendalls 9 and 10 month... I can believe she is getting so old. 1 week and she will be 11 months! no way!

We caught a SKUNK!!

GO COUGS!

We had such a fun weekend. We headed down to the BYU UNLV game. I was so excited to see Shayli cheer. I talked to Lisa and she told me the team was staying at The Ritz so I called and book on their 72 hour rate! We were loving it there. On our way down we saw Elivs! We were cracking up... Kendall got some new kicks for the game. We had a lot of fun relaxing by the pool and at the spa and of course cheering on the COUGS! I have always been a BYU fan since my brother played there back in the 90's but with Shayli there now it makes it even more fun!!!

Tegan, Teething, and NEW JAMMIES

Troy Tara and Tegan came into town. We love it when they come down. Durring their visit I learned that my daughter is a big bully. Every toy that Tegan wanted to play with she would crawl over to him and take it away. Every single toy. Poor Tegan would just look around and find another. We read Let's Share book to her but it didnt help. Finally she crawled over to him and sat on him. He did not like it very much and she would not move. BULLY! Tegan is so stinkin cute. I love to play with him. He is so clam and chill. Kendall on the other hand is EVERY WHERE. Its funny cause when we were pregnant it was opposite. I never felt Kendall move and Tegan was CRAZY. While they were here Tara told me about these cute jammies they have at Costco. So we went and got some for bug. We love them they are so soft and fuzzy and super cute. Kendalls bottom two teeth are coming in and it has been a whole lot of fun. I swear that is the only face I see anymore from her. Poor thing I keep telling her that it is worth the pain, but I dont think she understands me.
