We took the kiddos to the pumpkin patch this week. It gets much more fun each year as the kids get older. Colton enjoyed it more this year than he did last year. He even went on a ride with Daddy. Enjoy!

Colton enjoys taking out the paper towels and stacking them on top of each other.

He stacked as tall as himself then promptly knocked them over and started again.

Kinley loves anything in her mouth at this point.

Colton is fascinated with anything to do with Halloween. He loves pumpkins, witches and ghosts right now. When we pass a house with scarier decorations, i.e., skeletons, etc, he always says, "Not scary Mommy!" Almost like he's saying it to convince himself.

Colton insists on going out to our front porch several times each day to say hi to the pumpkins and witch.

Our little piggy! We spent some time at the pumpkin patch.

Colton having fun in the petting zoo. It took him a minute to warm up to the animals.

I can't believe how big our little man is! We often get, "What he's only 2 1/2?!?!" when someone finds out how old Colton is. He is the size of a 3 or 4 year old.

Eric took Colton on a ride this year. He had a firm grip at all times.

Notice his right hand does not move from it's original position. He actually had a lot of fun.

The two loves of our lives!

Colton went up the slide all by himself this year and slid, belly down. No trepidation at all!

Secrets between brother and sister. Kinley loves her brother sooooooo much!

I can see many more nights of Colton and Kinley playing on Daddy!

October 2 - 9, 2011

Kinley turned 5 months this week! We also took the kiddos to Springs Preserve to run around (Colton) and enjoy our beautiful weather right now. Enjoy!

I love Halloween! Kinley is set with Halloween outfits. This one has a bat and says, "Teething Bites."

I can't believe that Kinley is 5 months old already. She is learning new things daily and is such a delight to have around. Kinley is also a great little sister. She doesn't mind her older brother teasing her already :).

10-04-11

Height: 26 1/2 inches (95%)

Weight: 16 lbs. 6 oz. (50%-75%)

Feeding: Kinley is eating 7 oz every 4-5 hours. She also has started stage 1 baby food. Currently, Kinley loves peas, sweet potatoes and squash.

Sleeping: Kinley continues to be a great sleeper. She is on a schedule where she naps anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 1/2 hours after each bottle. Kinley sleeps a solid 10-12 hours at night. At five months she has yet to wake once during the night since sleeping through the night at 8 weeks.

Size: Kinley wears size two diapers and is wearing 6 or 6-9 month clothes. Kinley is so long that many outfits are too short!

Milestones: Kinley is starting to sit up really well by herself with some back support. She laughs easily, especially at her brother. Kinley can roll over but gets her arm stuck so she won't go all the way over. She currently has two teeth, both on the bottom and it won't belong before some top teeth come in. Kinley loves to grasp on to anything in her way, a favorite is mommy's hair! She truly is a joy in our lives.

Kinley being her cute self.

I thought this picture was too cute. She actually propped herself up and posed for the camera.

All ready for Halloween! BOO!

Ready to hit the mall with Mommy.

We took the kiddos to Springs Preserve. Colton loved all of the fun things to play on. Here he is the conductor of the train.

September 25 - October 1, 2011

We are finally starting see temps here in Vegas that doesn't start with a 1. This week is actually suppose to get into the 70's! I love this season and we are planning a lot of fun little excursions to a pumpkin patch, Springs Preserve, and a trip to Utah. Enjoy this weeks pictures.

Have I mentioned how fun it is to dress a little girl. I'm amazed at how many cute clothes and accessories there are!

Here Kinley looks like she may be trying to get away. I wouldn't be surprised if she crawls earlier than Colton did.
09-27-11

This is our silly baby. Her onsie is on top of her head and she thought that it was funny.
09-29-11

Kinley is such a daddy's girl. She lights up whenever she sees her dad.
09-30-11

Colton was in a silly mood. As we were getting him ready to take a bath and taking off his clothes, he wanted to leave his shirt on top of his head and walk around like this.
09-30-11

Eric loves to play around and wrestle with Colton. You can see that Colton enjoys it too.

Such a happy baby!

Hmmm, where is Kinely? (Courtesy of her brother)

Kinley dancing!

September 18 - 24, 2011

As I write this blog each week, I'm simply amazed how much our kiddos are growing right before our eyes. I can't imagine how our families who live in Utah, Florida and Oklahoma feel when they see the kids every couple of months. Enjoy!

I put Kinley in these pj's because she is just too long for her 3-6 month ones. This Halloween pj is 6-9 months and the length fits her perfectly. Colton wanted to get in the Halloween spirit as well and I put him in one of his Halloween pj's. By the way, Colton's pj's are 4T!

Kinley's shirt says "Bubbly." What a perfect way to describe our little princess.

Kinley looking spruced up and ready to hit the town.

Kinley tried squash for the first time. She liked it a lot better than oatmeal.
09-22-11

We went to Del Sol's homecoming game. It's much great to be sitting in the stands enjoying the game than having to watch the crowd instead of the game. It was nice to see and hang out with some awesome people that I use to work with. Colton enjoyed running up and down the stadium.
09-23-11

Kinley was of course passed around from person to person. She enjoyed her first football game as well as all the attention she got.
09-23-11

We bought Colton some new fall pj's. Two of which were Woody and Buzz pj's. He wore one on Friday and the other one on Saturday night.

09-23-11

Buzz pj's. Colton also had to wear a hat with his new pj's. He kept the hat on until it was time to go to bed. Colton looks so big to me. We often have people asking how old he is and when we say 2 1/2, they don't believe us....I can understand why.
