Birthday girl

Finally, some birthday pictures.  Kinnley's first brithday


 "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"









LOVE

All in good fun

A silly string fight in the garage one night.


 An escapee on the steps

 What a fun game with Papa...
 ...so fun that Ayden had to join in

Christmas Eve

A rare photo with both kids looking AND smiling.


A state of total relaxation

A family friend is Kinnley's new best friend.  Michael was just rubbing her arm and she sat still for 10 minutes loving life. They both were so sweet.

Christmas a little early

Every time Ayden visited Santa, which was several times this year he asked for a rescue helicopter with a  basket.  Christmas = Complete!

It's my party and I'll cry if I want to! Happy Birthday Kinnley!

 Happy Birthday Baby Girl!  Unfortunately we didn't get to celebrate *today* with a big party, but next week we absolutely will!

Just in case some of you might think she is ornery baby, here's a little reminder that she is sweet although *spirited* little angel.  :)  Happy Birthday Kinnley!

Happy Thanksgiving Weekend

Kate and I were very grateful for a get away this weekend up in Tucson --- Ayden was thankful for the s'mores on the patio he got to make.  Other than an almost one year old not sleeping *at all* during the nights, we had a great time.  At least this resort had plenty of sidewalks, and long hallways to walk at all hours of the night.  I (Heather) may or may not have had a run-in with a javelina at 4:00a.m. while walking the grounds with Kinnley.  I have never ran faster away from that man-eating creature like I did that night.  Chalk it up to a fun holiday weekend.
