" Well I cant very well just leave you like this"

I woke up this morning with a Fever and have been feeling rotten all day. First words out of my sweet husbands mouth this morning... "Well I cant very well just leave you like this." Today he let me stay in bed all day long, he worked from home, took care of Kinley, and got me Cold Stone Ice cream for dinner (since that is the only thing that sounds at all yummy) BEST husband of the year award!

Oops....

So, for the last year we have been lucky enough to have not had ANY accidents in the bathtub!  Lucky hu?!  However, the last 2 baths we have not been so lucky... 

To say the least while we were cleaning the bathtub and refilling it with clean water Kinley got to stay warm and play in the sink for the first time.  At first she couldnt quite figure out what in the world was going on, but it didnt take long for her to realize she could play and splash in this water too!

Little "Tricks"

 When I walked around the corner and saw her playing IN the drawer I wasnt too concerned...

However....when I came back a few min later.....well......
"Look what I can do Mom!!"
oh dear........

Happy Happy Birthday Kinley Girl!

Remember this little girl?  

Hard to believe this little Balarena is wearing a 1 year old Tutu now!

Blowing Kisses for all her fans as her Uncle Bob says.

 We cannot believe she is already one!

From 7lbs 2 oz to 21lbs 8 oz

19 inches to 31inches

From needing help with everything to running around doing everything she can by herself.

I am so glad to have the blessing of this little girl in my life.  Everyday she makes me smile, and laugh.  I get hugs and kisses all day long, and it melts my heart everyday to look down at her as she grabs my finger and  leads me over to her toys with that look in her eye that says "play with me Mommy", as she hands me her shape ball, or baby doll.

We got to celebrate her Birthday this year with all the family, and some close friends.  Dad even got to take the day off work to stay home and play.

She got all sorts of fun gifts from Everyone!  She has had a blast with every last one!  She Even caught on to unwrapping them and unwrapped all but the last 2!

 I found this CUTE Happy 1st birthday plate that we got everyone to sign.  Then you bake it and it makes the ink permanent!  So, that is what we decided to get for her.  I thought it would might be fun for her to have later in life since she wont remember her first birthday!

It turned out SO cute!

 Time for cake.  We made cupcakes for everyone else, and decided to let her dig into the cake.  She was pretty grossed out by the whole process, and first.  But, by the end she enjoyed a little cake :)

 We were going for a giant cupcake, but by the end of the day it was kind of falling apart. :)

She even shared a little with cousin Braxton

It was a great party We loved getting together with our family to share this special day with everyone! 

Here are a few more of her one year old pictures taken my my sister Kynsie.

 Happy Birthday Kinley Girl!

 

We LOVE You!

All Natural

When Crazy hair day at school comes around, its a day where Moms get to come up with hairdos like this....

Its nice to know when these days roll around for us I wont have to put too much work into it because it sure looks like Kinley is a natural!

gotta love it!

Prepare for war....next time.

Alright, I know I have a lot to catch up on, and that is all coming soon, I just have to get organized :) 

For now though..... 

The OREO is "Milks Favorite Cookie." and milk is my favorite drink...SO, naturally I HAVE to LOVE Oreos! The problem is I cannot stop at 1 Oreo...or the recommended serving size of 3 either (especially when I am sleep deprived).

Now, for someone like me who is on weight watchers...That is kind of a HUGE problem. What?!  You are naturally skinny?  Get off my blog! Just Kidding!

You May have won out this time Mr Nabisco.....Next time, Prepare for war! 

With Love (maybe a little too much tonight),

Caught

Caught her!  Red handed!

Now I guess I should apologize to Nick for blaming him for emptying the toilet paper rolls and throwing it all on the floor! ;)
