❤ WHAT'S IN A NAME? ❤

Apparently A LOT.

Tim comes up with the craziest nicknames for people, they're so random and mostly don't make any sense at all. It's really pretty amusing.

Just to name a few. I am sure there are many more that I can't think of at the moment.

❤ RIDIN' SHOTGUN ❤

This is my dad's band, "Ridin' Shotgun". He's so cool! I love it! He has been singing and playing the guitar for as long as I've known him and he's always been kind of shy about it. He recently joined a band with his best friend, George (Blue shirt) and they have been playing at small events. I think they will make it big! =) It's so awesome to hear him sing with a band! So, to see a video of him singing in his band, just go here.

This is my dad.

❤ THE DRESS ❤

❤ KENDALL'S BLESSING ❤

Kendall Mary Stubbs was blessed on January 17, 2010. Her dad gave her a beautiful blessing. We had 41 people at our house. It was a little crazy, but so much fun. We had yummy soups and bread bowls, salads and desserts. My mom made Kendall the most beautiful blessing dress I have ever seen. I call it a winter blessing dress because it has fur trim and a little bolero jacket (see above). She also wore a little feather poof headband.... so cute! Thank you mom for the labor of love! =) Also, thank you to all of our friends and family that were able to come. Kendall is so lucky to have so many people that love her.

Kendall's cousin, baby Slade. They're going to be best friends! Slade was born about 1 month after Kendall.... look how cute they are!

❤ EMBRACE THE CHUBBINESS... ❤

...cause chubby babies are the best!

***I have been experimenting with photography, that's why I've been posting so many pictures. There are so many cute ones, I don't want to leave any out.***

❤ 8 WEEKS OLD ❤

Little Miss Kendall is now 8 weeks old. She has been such a joy in our lives. She is starting to sleep through the night (about 8 hours) and is usually pretty content and happy. She likes to have baths, but she doesn't like the "after-bath", she doesn't like to feel cold and naked. :) At Christmas she weighed about 14 lbs. and so I am sure she is more than that now. She is starting to smile and tell stories. It just melts my heart to see her smile! Her sisters adore her and Hally loves to always give her hugs and kisses and get right in her face and talk to her. Addi is especially helpful. If I need someone to bounce her softly in her bouncy chair it is usually a fight between them as to who gets to do it. Out of everyone, she smiles the most for her daddy, go figure! The moment he comes into view she is all smiles, I have to work at it to get smiles. She is rolly and polly and we just love her to death. My favorite times are when we get to have naps together. There is nothing more precious than a sleeping baby.
