Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! We hope that everyone had a fantastic weekend and ate lots of delicious food surrounded by people they love!!

Our day started out packing and jumping on a plane...as soon as we were in the air - they were out!! I'm sure Kirb's wore out from all the packing he did (hahahahaha).

Thankfully Kin slept though because it just happens to be the only nap she gets in before 6pm Kansas time. She did so good on the plane sleeping and playing with her toys. She didn't even notice that she wasn't able to crawl all over the place.

We went straight from the airport to Grammy and Grampy Niebaum's house to Thanksgiving where lots of family came over!! Kinley loved the mashed tatO's and sweet potatoes, turkey and ham and rolls. She's such a great eater. She loved seeing all of her family!
Grandpa Great 
 Gramma Great-Great

She even bulldozed over her cousin Keiryan a time or two!! But she loved seeing him! 

Grampy with Kinley and Keiryan.

We were so proud of her for being a pretty good sport. And not being too fussy with her lack of a nap and seeing everyone.

We also went to the Christmas Tree Lighting at Gramma Great-Great's. It was cold, but Kinley looked like she'd came straight out of A Christmas Story and didn't feel it at all.


She got to play with Brooklynn (left) and Ella (right). They were all born within a month of each other and are in order by age from left (Jan 28th) to right (Feb 28th). We were so excited to get to see everyone and all the babies growing!!!
Pictures outside with Gramma Great-Great in front of the tree.

 Out cold when we got back. 
Everyone had a really great time visiting and eating chili and hot dogs. Even Kinley enjoyed some chili!
Kirby and his brothers Cole and Keith (Keiryan's daddy).

Kinley got lots of snuggles in with her Grammy.

And play time with Grampy (yes daddy is napping).
and Franny :) 

She also got to meet her Great Papa Terry for the 1st time. 
Can you tell she just woke up from a much needed nap. 
She warmed up after a little while though. 

We had brunch with Great Grandma and Grandpa Medcalf, Uncle Bob and Aunt Lee and their kids and her Aunt-Aunt Judy. But silly mom forgot her camera. 

We took a break from everything to have a bath! She loved smiling for her Grammy. 

Looking out the window on the plane ride back.


As always the time we got to spend with everyone was too short and we wished we could have seen and spent more time with everyone. But at the same time we're thankful for the time we did get to spend with everyone. So Kansas - we hope to see you again soon!!

Teeth Have Arrived...

I guess it would probably be better labeled - tooth has arrived. I've been able to snag a few pictures. It popped through the weekend of Halloween and you can bet that thing is razor sharp! Now I think it's about 1/3 of the way out. I always try to get a picture and wind up with this...


Or this...

Or this giant tongue we all love!

But I got one!!!
Can you see it?

SHE'S EVERYWHERE!!!!

Seriously - she's everywhere. Up the stairs, in the dishwasher, eating the top of her bed...reaching the top of my desk at work. And she's fast. If you've never paid attention to a baby crawling - when they put their heads down you know they're getting to it. We've nick-named her bulldozer at home, because she'll go over it or through it leaving a path of destruction. She definitely doesn't take the easy route, and unless something is put up in a high place (think top cabinets, not the arm of the chair or the kitchen table) this little stinker finds a way to get it. Her new favorite - showing me it's not nap time :)

Good morning jumpy baby :) 

Ten minutes after I put her down for a nap - yes she's smiling

 Whack whack whack - she likes to smack the chair and try to climb in it

 If I could just get through this gate, I know I could get up those stairs again

 Just a little further...


See - I'm not joking. Who needs a workout when you have a baby that's ALWAYS going?! 
Or up in your business :) 

We got our family pictures this weekend and Kinley enjoyed getting ready...
 It's her favorite spot in the mornings


Once we get them back from our favorite photographer, we'll be sure to share!!! We cannot wait to see them either! 

How could this face = bulldozer you ask?   You'll just have to see!!


See you all in Kansas over Thanksgiving!! We can't wait to see everyone!!
