I know it's been a long time since I blogged, but we got a new computer so hopfully I'll do better. Here are some pictures from the last month or so.

Mommy made me a tutu!


Kinley's First hair cut!


No more split ends!


We took Kinley to the play ground, She had to go on the slide that the big kids went on so Daddy took her. She loved it!


Thanks for the Cute Sweater set Great Grandma Bess! It looked so cute on her.




When we got more fresh snow we decided to go out and play Kinley really liked getting all dressed up to go out but wasn't to sure about it once she was out there, maybe she does have some of mommy after all.

So I put Kinley down for a nap today then sat down to check my email. Normally she's only cry for a couple minutes if at all, so after ten minutes of crying I decide to go check on her and see where she's thrown her bink. This is what I walk in to find...





She likes to play with it, and some how got it wrapped around herself then sat on the end so she couldn't get it off. I think it's time to take down the netting for awhile at least.

Here are some pictures for Kinley's First Birthday Party.

Tomorrow Kinley turns ONE! I can't even believe it's been a year since she joined our world. She has brought so many wonderful blessing to us. She has made this last year one of the most amazingly happy ones of my life. I have enjoyed every moment of it, yes even the ones when I was up in the middle of the night. I do look forward to those stopping now that she's a little old hopeully she'll start to sleep throught the night. I can't comprehend how someone can change so much in so little time. Kinley is taking steps all over the place and is really close to walking, she even say's a few words. When you ask her "what does a dog say?" she respond with ARFF, this is also her word for any thing with fur. Sometimes if you catch her in a good mood she'll say please when she wants something. She thinks every thing is a phone. We're working one how old are you, sometime she'll hold up one fingure. Anyway here are a few pictures from the last couple months.

Halloween Preview

Kinley and I went to a Halloween Party the other night She was a little kitten and I was Larry the Cable Guy.

Mouse House

We did have some extictment this weekend. So as some of you know I not a fan of mice ok thats un understatement I HATE them. Well Jared was walking in the living room to watch his wood working show he really want's to be Norm Abrum if you know who that is, anyway all the suden he say's oh h***, we have a mouse, I simple respond by grab Kinley and climb on the closet chair which is also the one that has her booster seat attached to it. Jared being the great husband he is and knowing how mush I love these animals sets off to chatch it. Well we had four sticky traps at the house so he put them out and started trying to scare the little thing into going toward them. About ten minutes later he's got the coach completely flipped over and every one of Kinleys toys and blankets throw around and we can't find the creatcher. I being the brave women I am suggest that we go buy a couple more. About thirty dollars later we now have four snap traps in the basement (so Kinley can't get them), eight more sticky ones, and a mouse house, the ones that don't kill you just catch and release (I don't want him dead just out of my house). For a grand total of twenty traps. The mouse house is my trap to set and place out, I'm trying to be brave.

Now all we have to do is wait...


Nothing that night so now I have to try and sleep with this thing roaming my house, knowing that its out there wondering free. I slept great as you could have guessed. Kinley and I are up before Jared so she and I play for a while before waking him to have the mighty hunter check the traps, he comes back up and we still didn't have it. An hour or so later after having sent him down two more times because I know I heard it this time. He goes down to the basement and while coming back up see my trap, now remembering to check it he see's that I've got the mouse and it's been in there a long time Alive might I add. So after a great night sleep and all the mighty hunters traps We've had this two ounce monster in a mouse house most of the time. After this long story those of you cheering for me will he happy to know things are good we haven't caught anymore and that one is long gone, those of you cheering for the mighty hunter , well he didn't like getting dooped and had to get his pray even if it was captive. Those of you cheering for the mouse (we need to talk) it ended quickly I'm told.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.EVERYBODY PLAY! I want to see what memories are out there!

So as some of you may know that my brother Kyle has in an accident. He's doing well now and came home today. It's been a long two week but things are looking up. We're all just trying to get ready for the long road ahead. We wont know the extent of his leg injuries for two months and it will be nine before we know what brian damage there is. So far it is hopeful though. I want to thank everyone for all the thoughts and prays. I'll do my best to give an up date as things go along. Other than that things are good Kinley say's "Mama" now it's the cutest sound. Now we're working in Dada.

It's time for more pictures!








Kinley is five months old now, and growing so fast. She loves to play in her play seat, now she can reach for the toys and bring them to her mouth. She really enjoy's laying outside watching everything.
