Saturday night fever

Tonight at work, Kristen and I got to help decorate the store for christmas! We put lights and ornaments on the tree and danced to the music of Vampire Weekend under Meikels fabulous Christmas "Disco" ball decor. Meikel is so creative.

Rootbeer Float

We had a wonderful trade today! This afternoon we went down to my brother Travis's house and had a babysitting swap. Travis & Becky watched our kids while we went to a movie, then we watched their kids while they went out. It was so much fun! We played video games (got thoroughly beat by Lora every time), made spaghetti, & had Rootbeer Floats! It was Hannah's very first float so at first she was very upset that I had ruined her ice-cream until she had a taste! YUM, YUM, YUM!

Thanks

In honor of my brother in-law Zach who could not be with us on this joyous Thanksgiving.
Things I am thankful for: Mimi's cafe who cook a great dinner, children who slept in late, & spending a whole day with my family. Much love.

Another project

So today I was able to complete another project Ive been working on. These are some reversible purses and clutches that Ive been sewing.

Birds

In my recent copy of Family Fun Magazine they had this cute christmas ornament idea. With my love of birds I thought it was a perfect project for me. ( Like I need any more!) So today since I had to go to the fabric store I thought Id pick up the supplies and try it. I think they turned out really cute. Go to www.familyfun.com/magazine for this idea and lots of others.

so clean

Your probably wondering, why on earth I am posting a picture of my bathroom? It is the one thing on my list I accomplished today!! And doesn't look wonderful?! A sparkling clean bathroom has to be one of my favorite things ever, so since it rarely happens I thought I would photograph the fruits of my labor for fond remembrances. Of course though while I was cleaning Hannah pee'd on the floor and drew all over the TV, Stereo, & Front Door with a red and blue crayon!! One little victory at a time. :)

Project 365

So my friend Nikki invited me to see her new blog project. Project 365. The idea is that you take a photo a day for a year. At the end you'll have a fantastic photo journal. So here is my first picture. Hannah and Ben's post lunch sink bath. The first photo is Hannah's. She took 30 photo's tonight. Maybe she'll be a photographer.

November Birthdays

Friday the 21st we celebrated the November family birthdays with a trip to the Museum of Ancient life at Thanksgiving point. We were celebrating Travis, Melissa, Conner, & Braeden's birthdays. With our extended Kendell family growing more each year there are very few months that do not have multiple birthdays. Believe it or not I had never been to the museum before and I was so impressed. The little I was able to see was fantastic. I say little because their is no standing still or taking your time when it comes to my two monkeys. The saying," It takes a village", is deffinately true for us. It takes 10 adults just to keep track of and manage them. The prominant saying at any family function is," Hannah come here. Hannah dont touch. Dont crawl under that. And of course," Who has Hannah?" Lately that goes for Ben as well. We hadnt been in the museum 5 minutes before Hannah crawled under a fence and was touching a "dont touch" display! Brice and I decided that we need to go back for a date night. Hannah and Ben had a wonderful time with their cousins. They played in the sand and loved digging for fossils. If you havent been you should.
