Even though I already facebooked this, I think it needs to be kept in the archives so I'll always remember. The other day Danica was getting her jammies on, and she yelled, "Look at my damn panties!" I thought maybe it was one of those times when she wasn't sure how to say a word and it came out sounding like a cusser. So I asked her to say that again. She said the same thing, a bit more timid this time. I asked if she knew that damn was a naughty word and she said yes. Hmmmm. Okaaayyyyy. The look on my face must've said it all because she very quickly apologized and said she'll never say it again.
I want to throw out a big fat UGH tonight. My sweet baby girl has her first fever. I should've known something was wrong when she napped all afternoon. She developed a low fever and I figured it must be caused by teething. But tonight it turned a bit high for teething, and Tylenol doesn't seem to be helping. Grrrr! I just don't do well with fevers or vomiting... such a worry-wart!!
Danica was asking me about weddings today. She's looking forward to Brenna's next wedding. Apparently she thought the wedding in Bismarck the other weekend was her 2 year old cousin's wedding. And she wants to know when it's going to happen again! I told her Brenna's not having another wedding, but her Auntie Ali is pretty soon. She thought for a minute and then said (kinda irritated), "Well... I suppose Ali's gonna have to wear a white dress too, huh."
Just a quick update:
It has been a very tough week for us here. I got the flu this weekend and was completely out. Kendella wasn't thrilled with not being with Mommy for a couple days, and I think Daddy wasn't thrilled with having to do everything by himself either! The flu is gone, but a nasty head cold is here for both Kendella and I. We both seem to have gotten a bit worse today. Hopefully it'll be better by Saturday so we can go to Bismarck for some family fun... a wedding and a birthday party! We'd hate to miss out on that.
Don't expect too much for updates and pictures in the next couple weeks. It'll be quite busy for us!

SWEET SUCCESS!!! I got a video up finally! I just have to use our old computer to do it. So look for more videos to come. And remember, hit the pause button on the music so you can hear the video.
For the first few years Duane and I were together I used to correct certain things he'd say. He'd say hunderd, and I'd say hundred. He'd say winner, and I'd say winter. Eventually I gave up being the speech police (most of the time) and haven't corrected those things in a couple years. The other day he and Dani were outside playing in the snow. They built snowmen and he pulled her around on the sled. When they got in Dani was complaining about wanting to go sledding some more. Duane said they had all "winner" to sled. Danica said, "No Daddy. It's not winner, it's WINTER!" BAAAHAHAHAHA! Daddy was not pleased.
Her Buzz Lightyear costume... to infinity and beyond!!!! 
Last year's costume. Yes, she has 2 different colored shoes on.
A close contender for this year's costume.
We were so glad to have Grammy come help us out while Daddy was gone. With Danica and Mom sick, we sure needed the help!! Thanks Grammy!!
Grandpa's observing all the sand baking. 
Looks pretty natural, eh?
Fire??!! Who can put out a fire when there's cupcakes to be eaten!!
Get the delorian... it's time to go back to the future!!I've been trying for a couple weeks to get new pictures up on the blog, but it hasn't been working. Be patient with me and keep checking... I'll keep trying!!!
We've all been sick around here, so it's been a bit of a miserable place! But Duane is finally home from all his travels, so that'll help a bit. Kendella has been pulling at her ears, chomping on her hands, has a diaper rash, and is waking a lot at night. It screams teething to me! I took her to the doctor to rule out an ear infection just in case.
Danica was thrilled to help our neighbor rake her lawn. 
Playing with some girls in the haystacks. We figured out she's quite allergic to hay! So it was unfortunate that they threw piles of it on each other. I had to comb out her hair and strip her naked before we got in the house!
She loves those train rides! She's in the green car.
Loving the maze.
These 2 already get such a kick out of each other... it's funny how early that sibling love starts.
She's loving the baby bjorn and her new hat! 
Keni is so proud that she gets to sit up with us while we eat now.
Her sister loves it too.
Emma's waiting patiently for Keni to start solids so she can get some scraps!
Mmmm, that doll tastes so good!!!
