1st Birthday!

Happy Birthday Kendra!

Because I never let her play with her food, she wasn't sure what to do with the cake that was set in front of her. As her face says, "Play in it...? But...that's not normal?!"

Oh so pleased with herself.

Quick bath later...presents!

November in a nutshell...

She had quite the teeth configuration for a while...

She's starting to know what the camera means.

Playing the piano with A. June after Thanksgiving dinner.

Everyone relaxing after dinner.

Kendra got a practice run at opening presents with an early b-day gift from her cousins.

Her favorite new face...

October happenings...

Henry (Kendra's second cousin) had his first birthday party in the beginning of October, which was also Kendra's first party.

Henry is the little guy at the head of the table with out his hat on.

Birthday boy!


Wasn't too sure about the hat...

Babies galore!

She's learning how to help around the house...

Keandra went to her first Huskie game! UW Women's Volleyball.

Went over to Brainbridge for Brian's birthday dinner on the last Sunday of the month.

...which was also Halloween!

Daddy took her trick-or-treating with her Olliffe cousins.

Visiting the past...

This place should look familier to some of you...!

It was our first house when we moved to WA. Ah, the memories...the remodel...the fun.

Dad had a connection through work and we got to see it b/c it's currently on the market.

Nothing has changed, not even the wall paper in the guest house!!

Guest house deck. Still remember the birthday party I had here...like 5th grade.

Water-side.

The house is only about 10-15 feet from the few hundred foot cliff down to the water.

"Even the carpet is the same!" dad says in amazement.

Rec room. Still remember the skitts that us girls would put on up on that top stair.

Everything is faded and outdated... The lady who bought the house must have paid, moved in, and then lived like a hermit.

The bedroom us girls shared.

Seriously people?! You had to haul me through that??

And she's got teeth!!
