Lovely Weather for a Sleigh Ride Together!

Dusty has been really into the Christmas season this year. He has been listening to Christmas music everyday and wanting to make sure that we all really enjoyed it. When we were down in the Riverwoods the other day I saw that they have a carriage ride at night. I decided to take full advantage of Dusty's Christmas spirit and we headed down tonight for Family Home Evening. We all got bundled up and rode on the carriage ride. It was just a cute little short ride around to see some of the lights. I love the Christmas season and it is fun to enjoy it all month long.

Here Comes Santa Claus

We made our way over to see Santa today down at the Riverwoods.

Kinley went right to him, but always had an eye on her mom and dad to make sure they weren't going anywhere :)

Miss Kinley C is 4 Months!

Kinley is 4 Months old! Wow the time has flown by. She has changed so much and just keeps changing every day! She had her 4 month check up today and here at the stats:

Height - 25 1/2 inches (90%)

Weight - 15 lbs 1 oz (75%)

So she is just growing and growing. She got some more shots and everything else looks great!

Here are some pics from the last month

Sweet girl - Kinley is such a chatterbox. She likes to talk all the time. I think she most have really important things to say. She even talks to herself. It is so cute!

Kinley is super close to rolling over. She tries really hard, but just can't make that last move, but she will get it and then watch out - she will be on the move!

How can you not love crazy faces like this one?

She has some of the funniest faces and cracks me up! She is super expressive
Pretty blue eyes
She is getting more used to her car seat and driving around. She doesn't constantly scream anymore, and her favorite store to shop at is Costco. She is content every time we go!

Chubby Frog Legs!

This is her fav way to sit in her chair.

Kinley is so much fun and we love having her in our home. Can't wait to see what is up next with her!

Turkey Day!

So I was 100% lame this Thanksgiving holiday and only took 1 picture. But at least it was of Kinley :)

We spent Thanksgivivng with Dusty's family this year. His brother was working, so it was just the 3 of us and Dusty's parents. It was a good day! We ate yummy food, I got to take a nap, and just relaxed. It was a good Thanksgiving.

Things I am Thankful for:
- My beautiful daughter
- My awesome husband that works so hard for our family
- Being able to stay home with Kinley
- My mom and trips to see her in Vegas
- My nieces and nephews, and I love that they all love Kinley so much
- My sister and all of her "mom" advice for me!
- Dusty's family and that they all live so close
- Amazing friends and all of their support
- Long baths, naps with Kinley, dates nights with Dusty

Of course there are MANY more but I am ready to go get in bed and have a good nights sleep. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Turkey Day Present

We got a Turkey Day present in the mail today from my mom aka Grammy

It was a cute book for Kinley.

Dusty read it to her right away, and she was very interested. I think we might have a smart one on our hands.

Thanks Grammy for the book!

Aiden's Birthday Party

Aiden turned 3 years old, and had her party on Saturday.

Kinley was excited to party!

Kinley is all ready to go

Harry Potter (please use British accent when saying the title)

Dusty got tickets to see Harry Potter from his work for last Thursday. We got to go at 7pm, and so we didn't have to wait for the midnight showing.

It was a lot of fun! Kitani watched Kinley for us, so we got to have a fun date night.

The movie was really good, I am excited to see the second part this summer.

Thanks Dusty for the fun date!

Quick Idaho Visit

Last Tuesday we made a 24 hour trip to Idaho. Trae was having surgery and Dusty worked at a clinic in Rexburg, so we decided to go up. It was really fun!

Trae showed her all of his Toy Story toys. She loved them all!

Hanging out with Kira!

Kira loves Kinley and is always liking to help however she can.

Kinley has got some great cousins!

Jessica's Wedding in AZ

While we were down in Vegas, Dusty's cousin Jessica was getting married down in Arizona, so Dusty and I made the drive down to be at the wedding. My mom was awesome and watched Kinley during the weekend for us, so that we could get away and have a great time. And a great time we did have! It was wonderful to be there for Jessica's wedding. They really know how to throw a party.

Kinley's First Halloween

Kinley had a great first halloween. We went and saw some family and then we went to our ward trunk or treat. She was just looking at all the kids in their costumes. It was cute! Here are some pics from the day.

Cute pumpkin

Dusty and I were really lame and didn't dress up this year, but I wore my Batty shirt, bat earrings and some Halloween socks, so I was still in the Halloween spirit

Happy Girl!

Jaker's Pumpkin Patch

Ever since we have lived in Springville I have wanted to take our kids to the pumpkin patch just down the road, and this year I was able to! Kinley had a pretty good time, and we got her a cute pumpkin.

Smiling for her picture!
She liked the animals

Getting ready to go!
