St. George Trip 2012


We took our annual trip to St. George this year in mid August. We had a wonderful time reconnecting with my siblings and the kids cousins, but Grandpa and Grandma Leatherwood were certainly missed as they were serving their mission at Oklahoma State University. Enjoy!

We always stay at the condos at Las Palmas and have been going there for 30+ years. There is a great pool area with several different types of pools for all ages. Here Colton found a fun airplane to play on as well.


Night swimming. Basically the kids would wake up and swim, eat lunch, swim, have dinner and swim yet again! Mallory is entertaining Kinley.


Colton, Kinley and Marshall decided to steal the Doritos and take them into the bedroom and start eating them. This was the look of guilt on their faces.


Katelynd and Mallory, the two oldest girls (there are only four, including Kinley out of 14 grandkids) loves watching and playing with Kinley. Kinley loved all of the attention!


Kinley relaxing after a long day at the pool.


Now it was Katelynd's turn to play with Kinley in the pool.


All fourteen of the Leatherwood cousins. Bryce (in the white USA shirt) is the oldest at 16 with Kinley the youngest at 15 months.

Kinley's 15 month stats


Kinley turned 15 months on August 4th, which meant another trip to her pediatricians and some shots. I always find it interesting to see how tall she is because I see it in her clothes size. Enjoy!


Kinley LOVES to play with daddy's ties. She also likes to go into our closet and try on our shoes. Here she has a couple ties on and found a comfortable spot to take a rest.


Kinley definitely has an affinity for shoes. She not only enjoys walking around in one of our shoes, but loves to wear her own shoes around. Too cute!


Another shot of her walking around in our shoes.


In this picture, I took it as she was starting to walk over towards me and lost the flip flop on the way.


15 Months Old!

Height: 33 1/2 inches (95% and up). She's grown two inches in three months!

Weight: 23.10 lbs. (50-75%)

Feeding: Kinley finally started to eat some fruit this summer. Her favorite are strawberries followed by blueberries and grapes. Kinley can be a picky eater, but she will usually try something once, unlike Colton.

Sleeping: GREAT, GREAT, GREAT! Kinley usually wakes up between 8:00-9:00 am when I was home in the summer. She always takes a nap, usually two hours after waking and for about 2-2 1/2 hours. Kinley will then be awake for two hours and go right back down for another two hour nap. She hits the sack at night around 8:00-8:30 pm and sleeps solidly until morning.

Size: Kinley is wearing size four diapers and have been wearing 18-24 month summer clothes. All of her fall clothes that I already have will be 24 months or 2T. She wears a size 5 shoe.

Teeth: Kinley has 12 teeth and is getting all four of her canine teeth in right now, which makes it 16 teeth! Our dentist want to see both kids for our next appointment in February. With 16 teeth, all that's left are some molars.

Milestones: This girl loves to climb and swim. She has NO fear of either, which to be honest, is a little scary to me. She will often climb up on something and fall off with not a peep. In the pool Kinley loves to play on the wet deck, but also loves to walk off the steps straight into the much deeper water. Good thing Eric or I are always there. She doesn't mind going under the water and getting completely soaked. Needless to say, she will start swim lessons next Spring. Kinley is a little talker. She can clearly say; hi, buh bye, momma, dadda. She also say many other words that aren't as audible, but as her parents, we get her.

Personality: I can't say enough how much this little girl is a delight. She has such a fun personality already and is very outgoing. She, again, has no fear of people that she doesn't know and will ask for hugs from them. Kinley is a funny girl! Like her mom, she can be a klutz at times and will even trip over her own feet and jump right up like nothing happened. Kinley makes me laugh, a lot, everyday and her father and I are very lucky that she choose us!



Kinley is a great little mommy helper. She ofter picks up all of her and Colton's toys and puts them away without asking as well as wanting to help me when I'm cleaning.
