Our New House

So here it is, the source of our crazy summer. Our new house which we absolutely LOVE!!! I will post pics of the inside after we get it more decorated. We were so blessed to sell our condo last May and then we were even more blessed to have this wonderful house drop into our laps. Now when I say "drop" in to our laps do let me fool you. There was nothing easy about this house except that this must be where we are supposed to be. We have no idea how the bank choose us to win the bidding offers, but we did. After that incredible blessing it was a rollercoaster ride for 3 months. One day the deal was on, the next day it was prolonged 3 months. Then it was on again, for 3 weeks. Then prolonged another week or so. and so on and so on. I won't bore you with all the details because it would take forever, but lets just say it was one of the most stressfull things I have ever done. I thought I was going to go crazy by the end of it. But after a long and confusing process we finally moved in around the end of July!! We were so blessed to have amazing friends to let us stay with them for the few months. We love you guys, Andy and Consuelo!!!! So if anyone is looking to buy a foreclosed house and need any advice we are basically pros at it by now.

Just cute pics of the three cousins. Poor Kinley is still the smallest, but she is starting to grow finally. Kinley is such and poser for the camera and little Kyler doesn't quite now what to think. Belle just wants to brush her teeth and go to bed. I love these kids!!

We are FINALLY back!!!

Ok so I know I know I have been terrible this summer with keeping our blog up to date. I am sure all of you were totally dying to see what we were up to all summer! lol Well for those of you didn't know we moved twice this summer and had a lot of work to do on our new house after we moved in. So I have not really had much time to blog. But I was totally feeling guilty about not sharing with the rest of the world how cute our little girl is. So enough talking and just get ready to see the cutest baby ever! These are some videos of Kinley at her survival swim lessons that she took to start off our summer. She was amazing at it. Not to excited but amazing.


Sorry for the poor video I was a little distracted!

Funny Videos

I think that if you notice all the dish rags thrown all over the place this explains itself :) Needless to say she has not tried to crawl into the drawer again :)

Who would have thought that an empty box could be so much fun?

This was the funniest thing. We watched our friends cute daughter Abby the other night and they had do much fun together. Kinley was kissing and hugging Abby all night. Then we noticed she was playing this game were she hugged Abby so hard she would fall over and then just hold on tight. It was hilarious. I got it on tape after about the 3rd time so it wasn't as good but notice that Abby even had the shimmy out of her slippers to get away. :)

Random Pics

I just wanted to document this sweet cuddle time that I had with Kinley. She does pretty good sleeping normally, but when she doesn't feel well she just wants to cuddle. I hate hate hate when she is sick but at least I can eat up my time with her. She was sick a few weeks ago with an ear infection and we spent a few days on the couch. We were so happy when she started to feel herself again. Praise the man who made amoxicillin :)

This is another crazy thing that our little girl does. She lOVES to sit in the refridgerator. Every time it gets opened she will find a way to get in there. Ryan and I were doing the dishes this day we both looked over and she was sitting sideways with both her feet in the fridge as well. It was hilarious. I tried to get my camera, but she moved just when I took the picture.

This is Kinley's new favorite face to pull. It is so cute!!!! Everyone who has seen it always continues to try to get her to do it again because it is just so cute! She wrinkles up her nose and smiles as big as she can. If you want her to do it again all you have to do is say "Cheeeeese" . Oh how we LOVE you Kinley!!

Easter 2009

Here is Kinley checking out her fun new Easter basket. She didn't know exactly what to think this year, but I think she still thought it was pretty fun. She got to eat candy and play with her new purse that Grandma Becky got her.

We were all out hunting for Easter eggs and Kinley didn't even care. All she cared about was playing with the basketball. I am sure it made her Dad proud. Check out her cute new little Easter dress.

I finally got her to put the ball down and then she found her one and only Easter egg.

Catching up :)

So I know I have been so bad with keeping up with our blog, but I thought I would try to do some catch up today. This was taked a while ago, but oh well. Kinley wanted to try some ice cream and you know how desperate we are to get her to eat, so of course we stripped her clothes and let her have at it. She looks so excited.

After a few attempts of getting it into her mouth she decided to try to feed me. She thinks that feeding others is so much more fun. We tried to help her get it to her mouth but she was not wanting any help. She is a big girl now :) Oh well she had fun playing in it anyway.

This may not look to exciting, but it was really a cute thing that she did. The other day she was pulling things out of her bag and she found some yogurt puffs. She then decided (while I wasn't looking) to try to open them upside down. Of course they all fell out and I just said "uh oh we need to clean them up" and what she did next amazed me. She ran right over to the dish rag drawer, pulled out a rag, and ran over and started to try to clean up her mess. It melted my heart to know that she has been watching me and she is understanding some things that I tell her :) So cute our little Cinderella

Please Help!!

My cute cousins have asked for some help! They have been trying to conceive a child for many years now and have recently been told that they should give IVF a try. As alot of you know it is very expensive. My cousin Lyndee has set up a blog for the adorable crocheted hats that she makes, hoping to get some donations for them. They are so cute. She makes them in all sizes and colors. Here is her blog address if you want to check them out. www.wilkersonivffund.blogspot.com
Please take a look and help them out if you can! You will love the hats!

Ryan has already been starting with the basketball training :) She absolutely loves anything to do with basketball. I take her outside sometimes just so she can watch other people play and clap for them. She starts yelling and clapping anytime she even sees a ball and immediately starts running for it. Ryan has played alot of church ball lately and I take her to most of his games for her to watch. I know he really loves having his own little cheerleader cheering just for him. She will watch him while standing on my lap and be so entertained. She screams and claps for him as he runs by. I love seeing how much she loves her Dad. He is a great Dad and I am sure he will be a great coach for her someday.

Crazy Hair

The other night we gave Kinley a bath and when we took her towel off this is what we saw. Her hair is awesome when it is wet. It is finally starting to grow. It has been the same length since she was born for so long. We thought it was so funny and as you can see so did she. I can finally get a few pig tails in now, even though she usually pulls them about within the hour anyway.

This is Kinley and one of her best friends Turin. He is so much stronger than her so when they play together they both love to play this game. She just sits in the stroller with her hands in her lap and he just pushes her all around the house. It's so funny. I am so happy that we have good friends to play with.

Pet store outing

We have some great friends in our ward. The other day Katie called and asked if I wanted to get out of the house. So of course I totally did and we decided to take the little girls to a pet store to see the animals. They of natually loved looking at the animals. Kinley's favorite was looking at the puppies. She was squeeling and clapping the entire time. I love seeing her happy and best of all it was totally free. I am sure we will be back soon.

What happens when ...

What happens when you leave a 15 month old alone in a room for 5 minutes??? Well I found out the other day just how creative they can be. I was in the kitchen doing dishes when she wondered into our bedroom. I thought that I had closed the bathroom door, but I was wrong. It wasn't but a few mintures later that I realized that she was quiet. Too quiet. So I went to check on her and this is what I found. She had multiple rolls of toilet paper shredded from one end of the room to the other. At first I just thought of the mess that I now had to clean up and then soon realized that it was actually really cute what she was doing. There was no way I could get mad at her. I ran and got my camera hoping to capture this fun moment. At least she wasn't playing in the toilet.

She is so proud of herself and she is even trying to get me to shred right along with her. I just let her have fun and decided that we can always clean up later :)

Just Cute Pics

Ok, so I know have been so bad lately about updating out blog. I appologize to all of our family members who have really been waiting to see some updated pictures. I have just been working so much lately and Kinley has decided that she does not require much sleep anymore. Well I guess she has always been a bad sleeper but now I just try to keep up with her :) These are just a few of the cute pictures we have taken lately. She is cuting more teeth and always wants to brush them. I am soooo glad that she finally enjoys something that is good for her. She would carry around her tooth brush all day if we let her.

This is the look I get when I ask if she is done. I am guessing that she is thinking that I must be crazy:)

I just love these pictures because rarely will she have food on her face,because she hates to eat, but this day she decided that oreo cookies are delicious. She loved them, but I am a mean Mom and refuse to give them to her anymore because if I did that is all she would eat. If I leave any form of junk food or candy within her reach she will surely help herself. One of her favorite candies are the Valentine's hearts with words on them. Her Grandparents sent her some and she begs for them at least 10 times a day :)

Christmas 2008

This year for Christmas we went to my Mom's house. It was a great Christmas. We made lots of cookies and ate lots of food. We went to look at Christmas lights around town after a Christmas Eve dinner and then just hung out as a family. It was great. Kinley loved playing with her cousins and was busy the whole weekend trying to steal every ones toys. We are working on the whole sharing thing. Anyways Christmas morning was so fun watching Kaden get excited about his toys and watching the little girls pull everything apart. Kinley just loved the bows and went and stole them off of every ones presents. Then she proceeded to try to make them stick to her. Oh how we love her. She is such a girl.

A one year old's play ground. She thought it was so fun!

Not the best picture but it is once again the only one I have of just us three.

The little girls were given these adorable outfits by Grandma Becky. We of tried to get a picture of both of them together, but they had a different agenda. Notice the blur from them moving.
