A lot has happened since my sweet, wonderful husband got home Saturday night. We’ve been doing a lot of running around, but it’s wonderful to have him home! Yesterday I took Kendal to the doctor for her four month check up, while my husband took Monkey to preschool. Kendal is developing beautifully, weighing in at 13 1/2 pounds and 24 3/4 inches long. She got three shots and was not amused. Once we were done at the hospital the hubby and I headed to the Ford dealership to look at cars. I got out of the car with my purse open and slung my iPhone onto the pavement. Let’s just say the phone and the parking lot didn’t get along at all! So, I test drove a SUV, and then headed to the AT&T store, only to find out that the iPhone does not have insurance, so I ended up replacing it. Once done there we headed to another car dealership and looked at three vehicles. I decided to test drive two of them. I liked both of them and they had some similarities, so then I let hubby take them for a spin. He liked them both too, but we both liked the Dodge Nitro best, so that is what I got! I love it! It’s beautiful! As for the other car that decided to fall apart, the transmission and every major component to the transmission apparently burned up. We added two new members to our family, we bought Monkey two guinea pigs, both boys, named Abbott and Costello. Kendal also started cereal. She had her first taste of it today! I’m not sure how she felt about it, she’d get excited when she saw the spoon, flailing her arms and opening her mouth, once the spoon was in, the cereal oozed back out. We’ll try again tomorrow! Anyway, that about sums up the past couple of days! I’m off now to enjoy my family!

So my precious husband is coming in today for his two weeks of R and R! We are all so very excited and he can not get here soon enough! Of course, yesterday, the car decides to fall apart, so it’s spending time at the shop. Monkey has been asking for him ALL day, so I put in his flight info and she’s been tracking his plane.

Monkey and I were talking about the ocean last night and she says: “Mama, does an octopus pee?” Yeah, like I know the answer to that one! So, I did what any good mom would do, I googled it. Finally, I found a document that said the octopus does in fact pee, but did not give information as to how, which of course was a follow up question. After looking around for the urinary habits of an octopus and having no luck, we decided to do some octopus related art!

I’m not sure what “look” she’s going for! Punk? Or could she be trying to bring back the ’80’s?

Monkey and the Easter Bunny
Kendal's first Easter party. Impressed isn't she!
My husbands unit had their Easter party today, inside a hanger! They had bouncy houses, which are usually Monkey’s favorite things, once she’s in, there’s no getting her out. Today though, she is fighting a rather nasty cold and feeling blah, so she only bounced for a bit. They had a helicopter opened up for the kids to walk through and play with. Only in the military! I was hoping to get pictures of Monkey hunting eggs, but when it came time for her age group, she just stood there and cried. I don’t know what was up with that! My husbands company was responsible for the cake walk, I finally convinced Monkey to participate and she won! She picked out cupcakes, pink ones of course! They are now sitting on the bar taunting me! I was surprised that she sat with the bunny and I was glad I took the picture when I did because after I snapped it, she started to cry! Oh, I hope she feels better soon! Kendal was less than impressed by the whole thing. She slept through most of it!

Kendal was doing a little tummy time with her beloved Mortimer Moose. Suddenly there was silence, as she’s becoming rather vocal, I looked over and she was sleeping. Tummy time must be exhausting!

My best friend left last night after being here for a week. Monkey and I were sad to see her go. It was so nice having a familiar face to hang out with and to help out! We packed a lot into a week. She wanted to experience Alaska, and so I tried to help her do that. We went to Santa’s House twice, saw the Aurora Borealis, which was absolutely beautiful and if I’d had a really fabulous camera I might have been able to get a picture, but my point and shoot just wouldn’t do it. We walked across the frozen Chena River, saw a dog sled race, and went to the ice park. The only thing we didn’t get to do was snow tubing, but Kendal got sick with a stomach virus and I didn’t want to leave her with anyone since she was puking her guts up and super fussy! We took lots of pictures and she bought lots of stuff to take back home! Oh, and she wanted to see wildlife and had almost given up hope, but yesterday on our way to North Pole, we saw a moose! It was a female moose, so no antlers, but a moose! I am so glad that she got to come!
Me, Kendal, and my best friend Melody

It was warmer today so I decided to shovel the drive. The warmer temperature made it a bit easier to break up the ice. I can happily report that you can now see the driveway!
**Note to self: Shovel driveway more than once a winter!**

See the pavement!
Do you think she's ready for summer?

Some players from the NFL are visiting our corner of the earth this weekend and I had the privilege of meeting them, getting autographs, and having my picture made with them. None of them, however, are from my favorite team, oh well!
