I've been tagged!!! Husband edition :)

1. What is his name? Ryan George Oustrich
2. Who eats more? I 'd like to say that he does, but I think that it is me who eats more. What can I say I love food and besides I still get to use the breastfeeding excuse. :)
3. Who said 'I love you' first? He did!!! But he did need some prodding to get it out.
   
4. Who is taller? Ryan.
   
5. Who is smarter? I know he'd probably say me, but I say he is. I made better grades is school, but it just came easier to me. He is way smarter than me with street smarts and with just any general knowledge. My knowledge is usually only medically based.
   
6. Who is more sensitive? DEFINITELY ME- when it comes to hurt feelings. But I think he is in general more of a sensitive person than me.
   
7. Who does the laundry? We both do. I probably do it more, since I'm home more. Ryan would rather throw the clean clothes on the floor than fold them and just say "I will do it tomorrow". :)
   
8. Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? If you're at the foot of the bed, facing it, Ryan does.
   
9. Who pays the bills? Me, but only because I am compulsive about paying them right away. If you know Ryan he would rather wait until just before they are due.:)
   
10. Who cooks more? It's probably even. I always say he does but that's because I feel like I should do it more often. He likes cooking more than me, though.
11. What meals do you cook together? Now that we have Kinley I think it is usually one or the other cooking while the other is playing with her. We usually always cook Sunday dinner together though. We cook anything that we can throw together in minimal time.
    
12. Who is more stubborn? We both are in different ways. I am just plain aggressive and he is way more passive aggressive than you would ever even know. We actually talked about this last night. Funny Funny.
    
13. Who is the first to admit they're wrong? Ryan, I need to work on it.
    
14. Who has more siblings? Ryan. He has 5 and I have 4
15. Who wears the pants in the relationship? I would like to think that we both do, but I think if I am being honest it would be me. :)
    
16. What do you like to do together? We just like to be together. I know that sounds corny, but after having a baby any time with just the 2 of us is great. We like to go on walks, go shopping ( I know I am a lucky woman- My husband likes to shop), Eat out, and spend time with our adorable baby girl.
    
17. Who eats more sweets? I think we might be equally guilty with this one. Ryan likes anything with peanut butter and I like anything with chocolate.
    
18. Guilty pleasures? Chocolate, ice cream, shopping, and eating out.
    
19. How did you meet? We met in our old singles ward. We were the "Mom and Dad" of family home evening. He was also my home teacher. Needless to say we both put a lot into our callings that semester. :) I keep telling Ryan we need to come up with a more exciting story, but we haven't come up with anything yet.
    
20. Who asked who out first? My roommate text him with my phone pretending to be me and his roommate text back pretending to be him. It all worked out for the best. Thanks Emily and Cory.
    
21. Who kissed who first? He kissed me first, but I would have given in soon after if he didn't already.
    
22. Who proposed? Ryan
23. His best features? Gorgeous blue eyes, great curly brown hair, and of course I think he is the best looking man ever ")
    
24. His best qualities? VERY humble, kind to everyone, generous, great with kids, he can pretty much play any sport ever created and play it well, and most of all I don't think anyone could say anything bad about him even if they tried because he is just an amazing person.
    
25. Tag, You're 'IT'!! Erin D., Katie B.

Oh sleepy baby

I just had to take a picture of this because I thought she looked to cute and peacefull. We had just got home from church on Father's Day and she was oh so sleepy. I didn't want to disturb her because she looked to comfortable, so I took pictures instead. I wish someone would carry me around in a posh comfortable seat and just let me sleep :)

Kinley's 1st baby contest

We decided to put Kinley in the Freedom Festival baby contest. It was fun and Kinley did really well. She did not know what to think about the judges though. She usually smiles at everyone, but when the judges started to talk to her she just stared at them. We thought it was really funny. All she cared about was playing with the strings that held the baloons down. She didn't win any medals, but we still think she is the cutest baby ever.

Big girl!!!

We decided that we had enough of sitting at home and not going anywhere, afraid
that Kinley would be cranky while we were out. We decided to spend the whole day
before Father's Day out and about having fun as a family. We went shopping, to dinner, and
Kinley's least favorite miniature golfing. I wish I had the pictures of her golfing with her Dad, but
we will save those for later posts. She is being such a big girl lately. She did not want to be held
she only wanted to sit in the booth just like her parents.

Of course I finally get some booties to fit her feet and all she wants
to do is pull them off or eat them. My Mom actually gave us these.
I don't know if they are actually ment to be worn. I thnk they are more for decoration
because they are so small, but they fit our little girl.

These are just some other cute pictures of Kinley. She will play with the bottle,
but she will not drink from it at all. Silly girl. Sorry the text below is so long.

6 months old

Our little baby is now 6 months old. I can't believe it has been 6 months already! It felt like pregnancy was forever long and now that she is here time is just flying by. She is the best thing that has ever happened to Ryan and me. She has taught us so much in the last 6 months. Most of all she has taught us to be unselfish. I think that we all need a little lesson in that area every now and again. She is such a happy baby and is such a sweetheart. She also knows exactly what she wants and when she wants it. I guess it is just a girl thing. As you can see we can't just take pictures of her next to her bear anymore. All she wants to do is eat it and play with it. I guess that works to. Whatever makes her happy. I thought I would write down some of the things she is doing now.
*She rolled over for the first time on 6/10/08. She did it 3 times in a row.
*She giggles whenever Ryan lets her play with his hair.
*She is fully capable of drenching anyone in the room with her splashes
when she takes a bath.
*She loves rice cereal, but only rice cereal and only mixed with breast milk. She will not
eat any form of fruit. I fed her applesauce and she gagged so much she threw up. Can
we say drama. :)
*She still hates all bottles.
*She loves to eat her toes when I change her diaper.
*She talks the whole time we drive somewhere.
*She loves to give me kisses. Most of the time she will suck on my face or she will head butt my trying to kiss me. I love it though. She is stingy with everyone else. :)
*She loves our 5 mile walk we go on in the mornings to the Temple and back.
*She started to sit in her highchair this week and has a great time sitting with us while we eat dinner. Finally we can eat a meal together without one of us holding her.
*Sometimes I wake up in the morning to the sound of her talking to her mobile. I just get this big smile and know that I have the cutest baby to go get. I can't think of anything better to wake up to. I also love that she is always happy to see me.
*She hates to be in a room by herself so I spoil her and take her most everywhere.
* She has the strongest stomach muscles. She does crunches all the time.
* She loves to watch water and be in water.
* She loves to scratch that couch or anything that she can get her hands on.
* She also really likes books. We read about 6 different books about 6 times a day.
*She loves jewelry and hair. She is really fast and before you know it she has a hand full. *She is able to sit up on her own. I still put pillows behind her though because she throws herself back.
* She does this fake cough thing to get attention. It is really funny.
*When she gets mad she stands on my lap and holds her arms straight out to her side and shakes her arms while quietly screaming. I know it sounds funny but my Mom said that I used to do the same thing when I was little. I will try to get a picture of both of us.
* Her favorite songs are- I Am a Child of God. Families Can Be Together Forever. Childs Prayer. We sing them before every nap and bedtime. She just stares at me and quietly falls asleep.
* Most of all she makes everyone around her smile. You can't help but be happy when you look at her. I will spend the rest of my life trying to be more like her. We love you Kinley!

1st Dance

This is Ryan and Kinley dancing for the first time at my sister Michelle's wedding reception. They have danced many times together at home, but this was the first dance in public. I am sure the time will go by so fast and they will be dancing at her wedding before we know it. They looked so cute! If you can't tell, Kinley wasn't to happy at the time, but she was loving it before I took the picture. She absolutely loves her Dad. Everyday when he walks in the door from work she stops what she is doing and tries to look for her Daddy. She is so excited to see him. Ryan is such a great dad. I don't know what I would do without him.

Cyndi's Graduation Weekend

This last weekend Kinley and I went out to Roosevelt for Cyndi (my littlest sisters) graduation. It was so fun to spend time with family. We laid Kinley next to her cousin Kyler on the couch to play. It was so funny because they immediately started to hold hands. This lasted for a few minutes and Kinley started to attack Kyler so we had to rescue him. She is 7 days older than him, but you wouldn't know it. He weighs a good 6 pounds more than her. Look at the size of his hands next to hers. He will be able to palm a basketball in no time. We all joke he is going to be our money maker someday. We also got a 4 generation picture with my Mother and Grandmother. Then of course we got a picture with all my siblings before the graduation. Good job Cyndi we are all so proud of you!

Some new tricks

Kinley is getting so smart! We have started the famous game, that all parents play with little ones, baby drops something and parents pick it up. Kinley does this over and over again with her toys. We have been adding a twist by making her retrieve her toys once she dops them. We just hold her down to that ground and she picks it up excitedly. This picture is of her getting her pacifier and of course the clip that she loves to suck on. She will pick it up and put it right back in her mouth. We love watching her figure out new things. She also has realized that whatever we have is way cooler than any other toy she has. As you can see she loves that candy wrapper even though she has many other colorfull options. She also loves the cellphone and remote control. I gave her my old cell phone to trick her but she is way to smart and of course wants the real thing.
