We have been enjoying the cooler temperatures for an Arizona summer by having dinners at our house and spending a lot of time in the water. Both of the girls love the water! Here are some pictures from our 4th of July celebration at our house.

What's new?
I have been reading everyone's blogs and it seems like everyone is having a good summer full of lots of summer fun. We are having a fun summer too, heat and all. No big vacations to note. We have just been taking a few small trips here and there and spending lots of time with family which is always fun. We took Bella to Disneyland last month which was fun. Kyle and I just went to Vegas this past weekend to see Love again and have a belated anniversary celebration. Next month, Disneyland again.

Girly things
It's been awhile since I posted and I had a lot of new pictures so I thought I would do a quick update. We have all been sick in this house. It was just one of those things that would just not leave our house. I finally went to the doctor a couple of weeks ago because I just couldn't get better and it turns out I had mono and didn't even know it. Weird. The girls seem to be healthy now with the exception of runny noses so that is good.
I can't think of a whole lot that has been going on that Randy hasn't mentioned. We got our backyard landscaped which is exciting because it was just an empty space filled with dirt that we really couldn't use. Now, it's pretty and relaxing and we are trying to get as much use as possible before the weather gets too hot to spend time outside. Bella loves it! The only problem is that I can never seem to get her in the house dry. She loves water so she pretty much always has to play with water and soak herself before she comes inside.
We went to Disneyland for Bella's birthday and Kendall's first trip and had a great time. I will try to add a picture from the trip that isn't a duplicate of one Randy already posted. Kendall is already a big Disney fan at the age of almost 5 months. Everytime she sees Mickey she starts kicking and yelling. It's actually pretty funny. It's good to know that she shares the likes of her family. Bella was not quite 36 inches when we were at Disneyland but she has grown since our trip I guess. When we took her for her 2 year checkup she measured 36.5 inches which means that she is a giant and that she is tall enough for a lot of the rides at Disneyland. Kyle and I are going to try to take her this month or next so she can ride the rest of the rides.
Other than that, not a whole lot going on here. We are just enjoying life and spending time with our girls. Here are some pictures...

For those still reading...
So for those of you still out there on Blogger...an update. Good news, Kendall is a new baby! Last time I blogged, Kendall was a very sick, unhappy baby and now she is a very happy, healthy little 3 month old. She was put on some reflux medicine shortly after the last time I posted and it only made everything worse. She wasn't keeping anything down at all. Kyle and I were pretty much convinced nothing was going to help her at this point so we decided to take her off the medicine because it was causing more harm than good. A few days after that, she was a brand new kid. We truly believe it was everyone praying for her that did it. Since then, she is such a happy baby with a huge, warm smile. She smiles all the time and is starting to coo and talk to us. It is so wonderful!
In Bella news, she will be 2 on the 17th and we will be at the Happiest Place on Earth to celebrate. We had her party yesterday and she had a great time. On Friday we will be heading to celebrate with Mickey. Oh yes, and this is exciting, I got a new camera so I don't have any pictures from the party to show you because I still do not have a USB cable for my old camera. I do have pictures from today that I took with my new camera for your viewing pleasure. I will post some from Disneyland when we get back! Until then...

Checking In
There has been a lot of buzz lately on the blogs about those not posting so I was feeling guilty and thought I had better check in. So here I am... This will probably be a rather boring post because there doesn't seem to be much to tell and I can't put any pictures up. I lost the charger for my camera so it is dead until I order a new one. This seems to happen to me a lot...I think there is a theif lurking around in my house.
Kiddie update...Bella is going to be 2 next month!!! I can't believe it. We are having a birthday party on March 8th and then going to Disneyland the next weekend, of course. She is so pumped because her best friend seems to be Mickey these days...just ask anyone who has spent more than 5 minutes with her. I made the mistake of telling her that we were going so everyday when she wakes up, she seems to think she will be going to Disneyland to ride the teacups. Word of warning to those with small children...never tell them about something this far in advance. I have learned my lesson! Other than that, she is doing really well. Talking non stop about everything. She informed me just yesterday that she wants to be famous and her favorite thing to say lately seems to be "That is so cute" and "Oh my gosh!" I am thinking she must hear that a lot. She is still completely obsessed with her sister and can't wait for her to be big enough to play with her...she also tells me this on a regular basis.
Speaking of Kendall, she is getting so big...and cute! She will be 2 months old on the 10th. I can't believe it has been 2 months already! She is starting to smile and coo which is always a lot of fun. Her personality is starting to develop and she is such a sweetie. She has become our little cuddler. On a not so happy note, she is having a lot of digestive problems as Grandmom mentioned. Since she was born she was having problems feeding and always seemed to be in pain when she was eating. She would throw up her entire bottle before it was digested. We talked to her doctor about it and he put her on a special (expensive!) formula called Alimentum and that seemed to be helping for a couple of days. Her doctor also scheduled an upper GI and that seemed to be normal. Since she was still having a lot of problems we also switched her bottle and added cereal to her bottle to weight down her feedings and that didn't work either. Last week, he put her on a medicine to treat possible reflux. That is also not working, she actually seems to be worse. We are sort of running out of options and the next step is to send her to a specialist so please be in prayer for her. The poor baby has been miserable all of her life...the whole 2 months! Now that she is smiling, it is very obvious that she really wants to be happy and enjoy life but she just can't because of this. Please pray that they can find out what is going and what treatment would be best so Kendall can be a happy baby!
I think that is it for us...once I get a new charger I will post a few new pictures!

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year everyone! So far 2008 has been a good year! I don't really have much to report other than we are all doing well. Life is good! Kendall will be a month old tomorrow. I can't believe it has been a whole month already! Time goes so fast. Kyle is back at work so it is just me and the girls. So far, so good. We are having a good time. Bella has become my little helper. Sometimes this is a blessing and sometimes a curse. It's great when she wants to get diapers for me or help make a bottle but it is not so great when Bella thinks she can take care of Kendall on her own. She's the little mother! She just wants to hold her and kiss her pretty much all the time. I'm just glad she isn't jealous.
Kendall is getting bigger every day and is very alert. She is such a sweet little girl! Bella is officially in her terrible 2's...that name is just so appropriate. But seriously, she is still a good kid, I can't complain, I just have to keep reminding myself that every kid goes through it. Despite the sporadic tantrums, she amazes me every day. She is speaking in full sentences now and can count to 11 and has a personality that cracks me up. She is always doing something new. It's so strange when your daughter wakes up one day and she's not a baby anymore, she's a little girl! Well, before I start crying or something, here are some pictures.
