Scentsy Party!

Hey everyone I just wanted to post a reminder of the Scentsy Party that I am having tonight! I love how well the candles work and would recommend them to anyone. In case of oversight everyone and anyone is invited. It is at my house from 6-7:30 pm. I hope you can make it!!!

Wow she is excited!

This is Kinley watching the little monkeys at the Zoo. She really wanted to just go and play and I am sure she could not figure out why we would not just let her down and play with them.

Kinley loves those pigs!

Sorry I can't turn the picture so you can see it easier but I still love this video. She is trying to sound jut like the little piggies. She is just so much fun!!:)

More Fun Zoo pics

Here are just a few more pictures from the Zoo. Kinley absolutley loved every minute of it. She doesn't look like it in some pictures, but I promise she is a big time animal lover. Her favorite was the little monkeys. They were swinging around and just about her size so she was amazed. :) It is so fun taking your child to do new things and seeing how much they love it. She didn't really care for the bigger animals but maybe just because they were just sitting there and not moving around.


She also really liked the cats. This one kept pacing back and forth. I thought she would be scared because he was hissing and kindof scary to me but she loved it.

Hogle Zoo

Here are some pictures of us at the Hogle Zoo. Kinley loves animals so we decided to take her to the zoo. This is Natalie and Kinley getting on the train at the zoo.

Happy Halloween

This was Kinley's first Halloween. We wanted to do a family theme so we found a cute little flower costume for Kinley and Natalie dressed up as a gardener and I was a farmer. You can see the little watering can that Natalie carried around with her a a prop. Kinley loved her costume. We put it on her to show a few friends and she didn't want to take it off. We thought that she would hate havign the hood up on her head, but she didn't mind a bit. We went to the Willit's Halloween party and it was a lot of fun. Halloween is their favorite holiday and they go all out. Their house was decorated with tons of pumpkins, spider webs, a smoke machine, great costumes, etc. You name it they had it. It was a lot of fun, Kinley really enjoy it.

Family night at Hee Haw Farms

So we decided to take Kinley to a fun little farm by our house the other night. She had soooo much fun!! She loved the animals and would have just jumped right the coral with them if we would have let her. She was screaming and flapping her hands at the animals. I will post video of it later. :) Here we are on the fun little hay ride!! Kinley just stared at the tractor the whole time because it was so loud. She loved the mini horses and the little piggies the most. We think it was because they were making noises and because they were little just like her.

Some of her funny faces

This is her "I know I am so cute" face

She is showing off her cute teeth

Here she was starting the make her "0" face when she was checking out the camera

I don't really know what she was doing here, but I love it!

Kinley at 10 months

Kinley is getting bigger everyday! Well I don't know bigger is the right word, but she is growing up so fast. I say that because she is still so little, but steadily gaining weight and I guess that is all that matters. :) Kinley is learning to do new things every day. I decided that I would just make a list of all the fun things that she does, so here goes
1- She is starting to take little steps all on her own. She walks along the furniture by herself and walks only holding onto one hand of ours.
2-She loves makeing faces at everything. She make the "O" face when she sees something fascinating. She loves to give smiles and holds her mouth wide open when she is screaming for attention.
3-She started to wave "bye bye" the other day. She won't do it on demand, but every now and then it comes out.
4-She has started to say "mamamamama" which of course is my favorite and should be number one :)
5- She is starting to actually like food and will eat more table food.
6- She is sleeping until 6am, then is up to eat, then sleeps until 8 am. I am feeling so lucky and frankly much happier!
7- She has decided she is much to cool for naps and rarely takes a good nap and usually not without protesting for a long time before giving in to the tiredness.
8- She loves to sleep on her stomach and every now and then we find her sitting up with her head between her legs laying on the mattress. I felt so bad the first time I found her like this, but I think she might actually like sleeping like that.
9- She will usually "give me five" if I ask her to and hold my hand out.
10- She thinks that her nostril is the perfect place to rest her cute little pointer finger.
11- She loves to dance with me. I have started to just put music on during the day and then I hold her and dance around the house. I have done it since she was little and she loves it. She gets this huge smile and holds onto me so tight.
12- She has started to dance on her own while she is sitting on the floor. Our cute little neighbor boy has some good dance moves and has taught her everything he knows. Thanks Turin!!!
13- She absolutely loves animals and would play with them all day if we let her.
14- She loves to get dressed up in her Halloween Costume. We put it on her when we had family over and she was eating up the attention. She knew she looked adorable and wanted everyone to focus on her.
15-She loves door stoppers and will always find one wherever we are to play with.
16- She has started to distress her crib all on her own. I have caught her many times chewing on her crib with paint chips in her mouth. Hopefully it is lead free!!!
Kinley is an amazing baby and we are just so thankfull that we get to be her parents. I love helping her learn and see knew things. She is amazing!!!!!!

This is the camera case and the only thing that she wanted and the only thing that would keep her happy at the moment. She was so happy when I finally gave it to her.

9 Months Old

I am so slow at putting these pictures on the blog. This was taken when Kinley was 9 months old. She is getting to hard to keep still. I was trying forever to get to just sit and smile and not reach for the camera. You can see she was getting ready to though. Silly girl. Kinley did so much this month. On Sept. 12, she got her first tooth. It was the bottom left tooth. I was so excited when I saw it I text Ryan and told him "our baby has a tooth". He right away called me and want to here about it. I felt so bad though because by the time he got home that night the tooth had disappered again. It came up and went down a few times before it decided to stay up. He was really sad that he didn't see it first, but was really excited when he saw it the next day.

Kinley loves to talk and this is her showing off that beautiful voice of hers. She also started to crawl this month, but I already post that so I don't need to again.

I was really trying to get a good picture of those pearly whites, but she was just not having it. She got her first tooth on the bottom left and then got the other front tooth a few days after that.

Random pics

So I have decided that I need to be so much better at keeping my blog up to date for others and for myself. I want to print out our blog and keep it for our family journal, so I am going to just post random pics every now and then. I know that everyone has at least one or two bath time pics of themselves when they were little so my sister and I decided to keep the tradition going and do it to our own children. Here is Kinley and her cousin Kyler. They were having a great time. She loves it when she has friends to play with, but she was not wanting to share her precious bath toys with him. It was really cute. We will have to work on the whole sharing with others thing later. :)





Trying to get three busy babies to look at you for a picture is a joke. It is so fun to see how all three babies are so different and how there is already a chain of command. Poor little Kinley is always the caboose. She just can't quiet keep up the the other babies who weigh like 5 pounds more that her:)
It's a good thing Ryan loves Kinley so much. She picks on him all the time and he just takes it. What a sweet Daddy!

One big Kitty

We took Kinley to see the lions at MGM while we were in Vegas. She absolutley loved them!!! At first she didn't really see what we where looking at but then one of the lions roared and started to move and right then she got this huge smile and started to kick and scream. She loves kittys. She loves to chase our neighbors cats around their house every time we are visiting and so I knew she would like even bigger kittys.

She would have crawled right into the cage with them if we would have let her!

Kinley's First Trip to Vegas

This last weekend we decided to take a road trip to visit some friends who live in Las Vegas. We had so much fun!!! Kinley was a perfect angel the entire weekend. She did so well in the car and it was so fun to show her some new things. One of our favorite parts of the vacation was when we took her to the Belagio to see the water show. She doesn't look like it in this picture but she really liked watching the water. We thought she probably liked it so much because she thought it was just a really big bath tub. ( she loves water)

Ryan and our friend Adam went mountain biking on Saturday. Don't they look so tuff :). Anyways us girls just sat in the truck and drove them up the mountain time after time. We thought they could save their energy for the fun the part of the trail. I had a great time talking with one of my best friends that I have known my whole life. It is funny how even though we don't see each other all that often we can just pick up right were we left off. All in all it was a great weekend and it was really needed. Oh and Ryan only crashed once down the mountain. He has a nasty bruise and scrape on his shoulder to prove it, but I think deep down he enjoyed it. I think it was fun for him to feel like a kid again. :)
