More fun at the farm

We thought Kinley would love to ride the horsey, but she was not to thrilled. She loves to see them when we are driving past them on the road but I guess she prefers that they keep their distance. She wined the whole ride and was scared to death. It was hilarious!

I would have been scared to if I was her. She almost lost a finger trying to feed them their food :)

We had to take her down the slide twice because she had so much fun going down it. Check of the tense arms and huge smile on her face.

Also a new love of hers is driving the car. Any car. She thinks she is big!

Fun with Grandma Jackie and Jaji

Ryan's parents came to visit us from P.A. last week and we had so much fun!!! It was great to see Kinley have so much fun with her Grandparents. She has not gotten to see them much in her short life but that did not matter to her at all this week. She was so excited to see them and she knew exactly who they were. They took her to the park most days, read her books, and did ALOT of shopping for her! We were very spoiled! It was so nice to have more hands around the house to entertain Kinley and they even did alot of babysitting so I could get a few things done without worrying about her. It was great! Thanks George and Jackie for an amazing week! Here is Kinley just spending so cuddle time with both of her Grandparents. It is crazy to spend time with Ryan's Dad because the more and more I am around him the more I know EXACTLY what Ryan will be like in 30 years!!! He is JUST like his Dad! I could make a long list of reasons why, but, not now :)

Also a new discovery is that Kinley LOVES raisins. She gets so excited because she thinks that they are candy and who am I to tell her any different! :)

We went to a Halloween Farm one day that they were here and we had a great time. We took Kinley last year and she loved it. So we thought we better do it again this year. Last year she loved the animals and she would let out this crazy scream everytime she saw one. Well, she didn't show as much emotion this year, but I still think she had a lot of fun!

This was one of her favorite animals. She really liked to watch the little bunnies hop around. She was even trying to climb in the cage with them she was so excited!

Kinley update

Well here it is the first official pony tail. Miss Kinley has not been able to grow much hair in her short lifetime and I was so excited that I could finally put her hair in a pony tail. I have felt like I was not being a very good Mom because I just let her hair go most of the time. It has not been long or thick enough to do anything with except brush. SO I was super excited about this. She however was not as you can see by my hand holding her from running away from me. This picture was taken a few weeks ago and now she has "found" her hair and plays with it all the time. She has developed a new habit and it makes the biggest knots in her hair that I have to cut out:( silly girl!

Is it me or does she look so grown up here? Were did my baby go?

She was trying to show off for her Dad one night when we went to hit a bucket of golf balls. Her Daddy was so proud she could actually hit the balls! Lets just hope she gets his skills and not mine !

She was focusing on how to work that huge club :)


Here are some things Kinley has been up to lately! I just wasn't to make sure I don't forget anything about our little girl. She is growing up so fast!
*She still runs with her arms up by her side and moves so fast I can't believe those little feet can keep up.
*She loves to been tickled! When we are watching T.V. she will climb on our lap and lay down so we can tickle her back.
*When we say "guess who is coming to see you" she still always says "Abbie!" even though it usually is someone else.
*She loves to play on the computer and sometimes we find her sitting on the computer chair just talking and typing away.
*She carries around and least 3 purses with her at all times when we are home.
*She loves her new Halloween costume! She picked it out and meows like a kitty every time she sees it.
*She loves to eat oreos. But only the cream center and then throws the cookie away.
*She loves to rock her babies. She will put them in the rocking chair and tell them "rocker rocker rocker" then pat their back. - so sweet!
*She makes us push her around the house in her car at least 10 times a day.
*She is obsessed with money. Every time she sees my purse I have to give her some change to play with! I know we are in trouble.
*She loves her new brown boots. She has to wear them even just to play in the house.
*She loves to make the monkey sound and tickle her armpits while she does it.
*She loves trucks, airplanes, trains, and flowers. She loves to smell flowers any chance she gets. Even the ones in the books:)
*She absolutely loves to take a bath or shower then run around naked making me chase her.
*Her favorite books are "Green Eggs and Ham" and "Thomas the Train"
*She knows the actions and words to the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" but only does it if Ryan and I both do it with her. She will stop in the middle and make us do it again if one person has stopped.
*She locks herself in our pantry on a daily basis. It has a glass door so she thinks she can get out. - side note- She was running in the kitchen the other day and the glass pantry door was closed. She ran right into the door head on thinking it was open. It was hilarious and she only cried for a second.
*Anytime she hits or hurts anyone she knows she is in trouble so she immediatley says "hug" and then pats your back until you say "it is ok". So sweet!
* The other day she was sick and not feeling well at all. I felt so bad for her! I was holding her and I sneezed. I was shocked when she lifted her head from laying on my chest and said "bless you mommy". I about cried!
*She loves to play in our real car. I have to watch her so close because she always locks the door as soon as she gets in and then she knows were to put the keys if she had them. I know totally scary. Don't worry she only plays in it if we are with her.
Those are just a few new things that our crazy girl is up to .
She is just such a fun little girl and we are having so much fun having her in our family. We love you Kinley!

Not much to say except I Love my cute little family!!!

She is definantly going to break some hearts some day!!

Family Pics

It was so windy the night we took our picutes, so minus the flying hair I think they turned out really good.

Here Kinley is showing everyone where her teeth are. Everyone was trying to get her to smile and asking her to show her teeth. So she did. :) She was a trooper though and smiled for most of them.

Beach continued

Sorry to those of you who are offended, but this picture is a continuation from the previous post. I know it is not in order, but oh well. After she fell in with her regular diaper on we had no choice but to just take off her diaper, that was weighing her down, and let her have at it.

She loves to jump into the pool

and is so proud of herself when she does.

Now, I have no idea what to say except " Hilarious"! I don't know what she is doing, but I had to post this because I laugh every time I see this picture!!

More Beach pics

She finally got adventurous. She walked into the water. Notice the tongue hanging out. It was such hard work for her to stay up when to tide would go in and out. I couldn't believe how fragil she was.

Here she is trying to run away from Ryan because she thinks she can do it on her own. I wonder where she gets that? Duno? Notice her hands out and fingers spread due to the sand between them. She hates being dirty and this was no exception.

Oh man! She just wasn't stong enough to stay upright. I promise she isn't crying she was loving it.

However, she was not loving her wet clothers and heavy sand and water filled diaper!

Oustrich Family Beach Trip 2009

Every few years Ryan's whole family gets together and rents a beach house on the Eest Coast. It is such a good time. We absolutley love going to the beach plus we get to see Ryan's whole family together. We don't get to see them much. Well the next few posts are mainly just going to be pictures but lets be honest, that is all people want to see anyways.

I promise she did love the Beach, but it took a few days for her to get used to the sand being all over her. She doesn't hide her feelings well. :)

This was one of the first nights and she was still unsure of the water. She loves to swim but she couldn't figure out this kind of water. It took a few days, but then she was our little fishy again.

Kinley's First Camping Trip

We decided that we really wanted to take Kinley camping this year because we never got around to it last year. So we quickly planned a fun weekend with Nick, Michelle, Kyler, Cyndi, Kaden, Cail and my Dad. It was so fun! We only camped for one night, but that was long enough for us. Kinley loved to watch the fire and eat marshmallows. Just like her mother. We had tin foil dinners and I ate smores all night long. We didn't really think to much about sleeping arrangments to much, because my husband was making me pack light, so we didn't bring a pack and play for Kinley. Needless to say that was not a good idea. We had a great night and then around 10 pm Ryan decided he would take Kinley to the tent to lay by her until she fell asleep on the air mattress. Well about an hour later I could still hear Kinley talking. So I decided to put my smores down and go help. Kinley was so excited that she got to sleep by Mommy and Daddy she could hardly contain herself. ( She has never slept with us) So until around 1:30 am Kinley was playing with our hair, poking our closed eyes, and jumping on the bed saying "weeee weee weeee" . It was actually so cute but it made a REALLY long night. Ryan was starting to get angry and then we both realized there was nothing we could do but laugh and just wait for her to get tired enough to just give up and lay down.

Grumpy kids the next morning.

Man was she ready to go home and take a bath. This whole camping thing is only fun for so long. :)

Zoo Trip 2009

We decided to take Kinley to the zoo again since she loved it so much last year. Most of my siblings and their families came as well. It was such a fun day with all of the cousins. Unfortunately Kinley was not as excited to see the animals as she was last year. It kind of made me sad to see that she is growing up and not such a little baby anymore. But what she did love was the carousel ride. She rode it at least three times. She was very proud of herself and waved every time we went by her Daddy but we could not get a picture of it.

This is on the last ride and she was clearly done with the carousel.

We had to get a picture by her favorite animal. Well, last years favorite anyway. She was not squealing at them like last year. If you want to see that video just scroll down a few pages. It is hilarious.
