Kynslie is 5 months old!

Can you believe that my baby

is 5 months old already!

That is just crazy!

At 5 Months...

~ She can sit by herself for about 30 seconds!

~ Nurses every 2-3 hours
~ Wears size 2 diapers
~ Wears mostly 3-6 mon clothes with a few 0-3 mon onsies thrown in

~ Goes to bed for the night around 8pm and sleeps until 1 or 2am then up every 

2-3 hours after that for the rest of the night 

~ LOVES her Mommy

~ Still has pretty bad reflux 

~ Is a fussy baby

~ Likes to be held A LOT!

~ She smiles with her whole body :)

~ Owen is the best at getting her to laugh

~ Is not a good napper

~ Has tried solid food twice and both times she didn't really know what to do with it.

~ She wont take a bottle

~ Her favorite toy is this ball thing that Suzie gave us.

~ She likes toys now.

~ She LOVES to chew on her hands

~ She is a chatterbox

~ She now gets distracted pretty easily like she was 

really distracted by this owl during her photoshoot :)

~She sucks her lips in all the time and when

she does this it reminds me of a cabbage patch doll! :)

~ She likes to grab her toes and tries to eat them :)

Even though she is trying desperately to kill me slowly by sleep deprivation

she is so cute that I forget how much work she is a night...

 well sometimes I forget...

 (might be that I forget because I am too tired to remember:) )

Happy 5 month birthday Kynslie! 

We love you lots and lots!

Bessie's Baptism

On December 28th Bessie was baptized 

as a member of 

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

We are so proud of her decision to be baptized.

She was baptized and confirmed

in Eden by her Grandpa.

Christmas Day

Christmas Day was pretty low key for us.

The kids woke up at their normal time and came downstairs

to see what Santa brought!

Owen got a big pirate ship from Santa!

From us he got

Pop the pig game

Roller skates and

Camping stuff :)

Livvy got a Weebles castle from Santa!

From us she got

a couple books and a puzzle :)

And here is the after math of Christmas!

After all the fun of playing toys for a while we had visitors of which I forgot to

take any pictures :(

Grandma Dawn and Grandpa Jim

Grammy and Grandpa Bernie

Clay, Madeline, Landon and Luke.

After visitors we went and met up with my family

for some chinese food and while

there Kohleen and Josh came to wish us 

a Merry Christmas and give my kiddos some gifts :)

Hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Christmas Eve

This year we had Trent's girls with us for

a few day before Christmas and on Christmas eve!

For Christmas Eve we were with my family at

my Mom's church.

We played Volley Ball and Basket ball...

Hung around and talked...

Had a dinner of Ham, Funeral potatoes, rolls, veggies and some

yummy deserts!

My Mom had a fishing pond for the little kids :)

Then presents!
