We're still here! :)

I have to admit, I'm a little bugged with myself. I have been taking so many pics on my phone, that I don't have as many to upload NOR do I ever get on the computer anymore! but here is a little of what we do have!
I totally spaced I had this cute outfit in her closet and found it the other day! I have to get her use out of it :)
SiLLy DrEW!
and she is crawling EVERYWHERE! Made a LOVELY mess in the pantry! :)
Drew had his singing program! I'm not sure how many words actually came out of his mouth, but it was still fun to hear the songs that he has been trying to sing at home!
Drew with his buddy Beckham
Love my Drew!
haha don't you love her DO! :)
and this is a nightly thing lately...these boys DON'T wanna go to bed! It was late, you can tell.
AND the boys had Brax babysit them for the first time! I forgot to get a pic with him, but it was super cute cause he came all prepared with a sheet of every contact information, a bag full of activities and ready to play! Loved it.
Miss Kinlee is also pulling herself up on everything and anything! :)

small UpDatE!

HooRay for some SnOW! Kinlee's first time playing in it too!
Or...just hanging out. Kinlee did not want to take her nap...so I bundled her in what I had and let her hang with us while we shoveled! She LOVED it! and the boys did too! They couldn't wait to get out in it! It was fun for a change that's for sure! :)

Snowball fightin'! Love it!
Miss Kinlee! She is so stinkin' cute and getting around EVERYWHERE!
and seriously! She turned 10 months?!?! So not fair. My baby is growing up, but honestly she really is so much fun. We love her tons and can't get enough of her cute personality.
haha couldn't choose one...so you get a few :)
She LOvES her stuffed animals and books! She has one tooth through and is cutting another one. She IS sleeping pretty good now, gotta give her credit. She loves her bottles, as soon as she sees it, she freaks out! and LOVES books and loves being read to. She is crawling like a crazy woman and is so fast. She loves being able to get around. Love her to pieces!!!
Doesn't she look like a doll? We had pics from Peyt and Drew in this same hat. So I had to get one of her. I will have to post all three of their pics together when I get a sec :)
Love you Kinners!!!!!!!!
Hope you are all doing well too!

HaPPy NeW YEaR!!!!!

Yea to 2011 and for all the fun we had and all the memories made! To celebrate, we headed first to the Kaysville festivities with our awesome Thompson friends! They had a carnival type thing for the kids and then we headed over to the "dance"! Then grabbed some treats and headed out! It really was fun I think! The dance was the best part!

The boys waiting in line for one of the games :)
Drew went straight to the dance floor and busted ALL his moves! He even did the worm! haha Tys uploaded a video to FB, it's so cute!
The other boys eventually got into to it too.
Peyt didn't want kinlee to miss out!
Drew sportin' his sweet new glasses from the Fish game! Sad they ran out RIGHT when it was Tate and Dylans turn! :(

Then we made a quick stop at the neighbors on the way home...
This is how Drew was most the time...haha playing an ipod or something. Can you tell he won't even look away for a pic. And the boys with their swords!
Happy New YEAR!!! 2012
We got home and I had to have at least our sparklers!!! So we threw some coats on and headed out for some quick sparklers with our little fam!


Kinlee was SUCH a good sport, she didn't even get fussy the WHOLE night and was up till almost 1 AM!

Well, there is for our Happy New Years Eve!!! YEA! We're glad we got to have some fun and enjoy it with some of our greatest friends that go CLEAR back to when we were first married! Hope you all had a Happy night too! :)

Peyt lost his FIRST tooth!!!!

This officially sets Peyt as getting old! :( So sad, but so excited for him! He loves it!
Last night around 10, I was talking to him and decided to check his two front bottom teeth cause they have been loose...then I told tys to come see and he was ready to pull it out cause it was almost out anyway. So here he is pre-lost tooth!

Tys getting the floss ready. I could NOT do it! I was freaking out...good thing Tys is calm and cool :) haha
and just like that it was out! Peyt or I didn't even know it was already out. Then Peyt saw a little blood and started to cry! haha

Way to go bud!!! I told him he had to put a note with his tooth that said "take" or "leave", depending on whether he wanted to keep his tooth or not and the tooth fairy would take or leave it. He wanted to the tooth fairy to take it, cause he was afraid if he kept it he would lose it. :) So cute! Way to go bud and yay for the tooth fairy bringing a couple bucks for you!!! Love you Peyt!

*Christmas*

On Christmas eve morning this year, we took it and were able to get SO many things done, caught up on everything for Christmas Day and just enjoyed some time with our little fam before Tys had to do some work stuff. It was really nice just to hang too! but then that night, as always, we went to Grandpa Rich's...
