Irresistible

Look at how cute I am!!!
Can you even resist staring into my big blue eyes??
How about when I stick my thumb in my mouth, do you find me irresistible yet?
Do I at least make you laugh??
Our little thumb sucker. She has found the thumb and it is so cute I can hardly stand it. I don't want to break her of the habit cuz it is so adorable. Am I wrong???

Happenings

I know it has been forever since my last real post, but I just haven't found the time to write anything down. I thought I would write some of the funny happenings around the Endsley household to share with all of you.
Kevin is pronouncing his words better and better every single day. Before they get too good I will write some of them down.
Ah gookie: Helicopter
geth-again: Do it again
Katie Girrla: Katie Girl
gwink: Drink
Vaya: Maya (his cousin)
SeSa: Tiersa (my sister)
Pampa: is grandpa
I hold you: I want you to hold me
ook:look

We had a repair man over to fix a few things in our house and Kevin started to warm up to him. He was talking up a storm and just really liked this guy. Right before he left Kevin wanted to get his attention so he said "Pampa" (Grandpa)ook. I told the man what he said and he sort of grunted and said, "oh no, my oldest is only 15". Funny stuff.

I am sure there are more but that is all I can think of right now.

Katie is so sweet we can hardly stand it. She is so content and quiet that I sometimes forget she is even there. She coos and laughs and LOVES bath time and her brother (even though he smashes her every once in a while). She tries to sit up from the laying down position and she is still our little spitter. I can hardly believe she is almost 4 months old, time has gone by so fast.

We are liking Arizona right now and the weather is great this time of year. (don't ask us how we feel about it during the summer!!!) We go on walks at the park just across the street from our house and we play with our cousins a lot.

Our ward is amazing and we both have callings. Adam is a Sunday School teacher for the 15 year olds and I am the 2nd Councilor in the R.S. Presidency. Kevin LOVES nursery finally and Katie just chills with me during church.

Sad but True

So I thought it would never come to this, but it has. I am going Private with my blog. I was reading through some old posts and noticed that I received a comment from someone (a salesperson who we dealt with a long time ago). It shocked me that this person looked my family up and had read my blog. Quite unnerving if you ask me. Long story short, if you want to continue to follow our family happenings you can either post a comment with your email address or email me at asendsley@gmail.com I will be making the change just after Valentine's Day.

Love you all!!!

Katie's First Haircut

One thing my kids definitely have in common is that they both came out with major mullets. I try really hard not to make a huge deal about it because I know Adam doesn't like to cut their hair too soon, but during Thanksgiving I had finally had it with the extra neck hair Katie had. So here we are.
Isn't it horrible.
Aunt Coco helped me hold her while I snipped away.
She doesn't seem to mind nearly as much as Kevin did...look here if you want to see his first haircut.
Even though she still has some mullet like features in the back, I was not about to shave her head to make it go away. But I do think it is much improved. It's probably time to get it done again.

Our Little Girl

I love this girl (Adam and Kevin are also smitten with her). She just makes me smile. She has the most beautiful eyes, and when she smiles at you it really does melt your heart. If she were the worst baby in the world, I would still love her so much. But I am happy to report that she is NOT at all the worst baby in the world. In fact, she is one of the best babies right now. It has almost been two weeks since she started sleeping at least 7 hours at night, and now I am happy to report that we have had 4 days of at least 10 hours of solid shut eye from this girl (with one 11 hour night and one 12 hour night)!!! Can you even believe it... she is AWESOME. Of course I am expecting that our trip to St. George for the holidays will TOTALLY mess with our wonderful little schedule, but oh well that is what motherhood is and I am still very glad that I signed up for it.
...by the way this picture was taken by Alecia. Check her site out.

Together at Last

This ones for my sisters, cuz they said they would just refer people to my blog since they never update theirs.




My sisters and I had a baking day this week where we each made two yummy treats to add to our neighbor/friend goodie plates. It was wonderful. We are going to try to have a weekly "sisters day" where we get together and spend the whole day doing something together. Last week we all got some crafty projects done, but I think that we might all agree when we do that again it will be at my house since I seem to have the most "crafty supplies".
I gotta say I am liking Arizona mostly because my sisters are here.

Kevin and Transportation

So like most of you know, we have had quite the busy last couple of months. One of the things that has been on our plate is Kevin's "BIG BOY ROOM". Ever since our Denver stay in August Kevin has been OBSESSED with busses, trains, cars, and trucks. Pretty much anything that has a motor and goes. So for his room we obviously went with a transportation theme. I found this way cute bedroom set at Target, but LIKE I HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY!!! So I settled for buying the sheet set which was on sale for $20 and a blue comforter on sale for $9 (oh ya, are you jealous ;) Of course then the walls in his room needed something so I got ambitious and painted something for him. Let me know what you think (I am actually quite proud of myself)
Now before you go singing my praises... the cars and lettering are stickers I got from the said Target bedding collection. But considering I am NOT a painter and I did NOT have the proper brushes(I used a spunge brush for the whole thing... way hard)... I think they turned out pretty good.

Pictures of us lovin' on Katie

Katie is getting so chunky I just love it. She is constantly loved on by all of us as you can see by these pictures. I promise that Kevin really is one of the happiest boys you will ever meet, he just does NOT smile for pictures unless I trick him into it. He loves Katie so much. Some time a little too much like when he yells at her "Baby WAKE-UP!! or when he "pats" her on the head, or when he thinks that he can casually put his food on her and press down a little. Really though he has totally accepted her as a constant presence in our home and loves to kiss her and help her. He always puts her binkie in her mouth when she crys, it is really rather precious.


Daddy and his little girl. I realized the other day that I have almost no pictures of Adam and Katie. I love this one though.

Mommy and the bug. Yes we call her Katie Buggins (thanks Aunt Mandy). Yesterday Adam came up with another name for her and Kevin seemed to like it a lot. Katie Cat. It's kind of catchy don't ya think??

Mesa Temple Lights

Adam and I haven't been to see the Mesa Temple lights since we were kids so it was kinda special that we were able to take our family to see them tonight. I made Adam get a few self portraits then we asked a missionary to take a picture of us by the nostalgic camels.
Kevin, as usual was NOT very photogenic.
Katie was out like a light!!!
