Wii night tonight

So, with our new healthy eating and exercise, Isaiah decides to get us a Wii Action Sport game. Of course he's the first to try it and Kendra is right along side him. Running, jumping, boxing, then she starts alternating the Wii sports with grabbing her pom pons and cheering for him. Next I start exercising and Kendra is now in full personal trainer mode, "Mama- push yourself, go Mama go, excellent work!"

So we get done and she wants to practice her driving skills- on Wii Mario Kart. She takes off the start line and shouts at the t.v., "Yeah- that's right... you want a PIECE OF MEEEE!"

The end of the preschool year!

"Mama, I have gold hair because I spend so much time in the sun... You have dark hair because you spend a lot of time in the dark."

In Colorado we are in tornado season. Last Sunday we saw a funnel cloud about 5 miles from our house. Kendra found some creative place to hide, including under her blanket on the couch... under a window. So we continue watching the news, and she starts saying, "The tomatoes are coming the tomatoes are coming!" Then she comes up and asks if I know what a tornado feels like and starts thumping me on the head. I had to correct her and explain that's hail!

Kendra was playing after school and her friend Jack came up to her and asked her if he could have a kiss. She says yes and he puckers up and kisses her right on the lips. Kendra runs away to her friend Hannah to tell her, "Jack kissed me!" (We had a nice long conversation about how boys have cooties afterwards.)

I woke Kendra up for school and she was slow waking up. As I am going through the closet with my back to her I hear, "Mama... why so serioussss?" -Thanks Uncle Ryan for teaching her to quote the dark night.

We were at cheerleading practice and the gym was quiet for a moment. We hear, "THIS IS GOING TO BE AWESOME" from Kendra across the gym then look over just in time to see her fly off of a bunch of mats and crash and burn into the floor. It was pretty awesome.
