Kinlee @ 6 months

My Ribbon Bows

I've been making bows for Kinlee since I'm too cheap to buy them. The other day Travis looked at all the bows she had and pointed out that there was no way she could wear all of them. So very true. I decided to try to sell them. So if you are interested let me know. I also have a link to my ad on KSL on the right. They're nothing too fancy but I think they're cute.

Happy 1/2 Birthday To You!!!!

I can't believe that Kinlee is already 6 months old. I have to keep counting the months just to make sure that's right. It seems like time went by way faster with her than it did with Tray.

Just in the last month Kinlee has made some tremendous milestones. She sits by herself, she has been sleeping through the night for months now, she started solids, she can hold her own bottle, she is mobile (rolling and scooting), she is trying to crawl, and she is just a beautiful funny girl.

I can't wait to see what the future holds for her!

Here are some pictures of Kinlee's crawling attempts. She gets on her hands and knees and rocks now, and she will get the the point where she is standing on her feet with her hands on the floor.

I've been lost!!!!

Our Internet has been out for a week and I've just been so lost without it. Thanks to my awesome home teachers we are back in business! When I finally got to check my Google Reader I had over 50 blog posts to read! So yes we are still alive and I will make a update post soon!

Summer Lovin - Happened So Fast

Summer is just flying by. I must say that we don't do much to help it go by any faster. Most days you can find us sitting home in the AC watching So You Think You Can Dance. Some things that we have been doing include:

~Swimming at the Brigham Pool

Tray is a fish. He thinks he can swim and pretty much he can. I just put wings on him and he's good to go. He loves to hang out with Kabrie in the deep end and just off onto her head. Kinlee does ok but she would much rather sit out with Grandma and nap.

~Going "camping" with the Lund family

I say "camping" because even though we are up in the mountains we are staying in a cabin that costs 3 times as much as our house. It's so nice! Tray had a lot of fun with all the cousins. We had a lot of babysitters so I didn't have to worry too much about him getting into trouble.

~Getting new church callings

I was released as the Primary Secretary and now I'm an Activity Days Leader. It should be fun. I'm not too familiar with the program but I know they do a lot of crafty things. I'm sure I will enjoy it though. Travis is still in the Priests Quorum and loves it. They had a date night this week and we went ballroom dancing. It was so fun to learn the Cha Cha.

~Baking with Tray

I've been craving sweets lately, and in an effort to include Tray in more things I do, I let him help me cook. He LOVES to hold the mixer and he tries to crack the eggs for me. Here he is enjoying some brownie batter.

~Enjoying the warm nights

I've been going walking with a little group in our neighborhood a few nights a week. It's so nice to have adult conversation and get some exercise at the same time.

I hope the rest of the summer brings some more exciting events for us. But I'm not holding my breath for those to happen.

Oh Happy Day!!!!

So I'm a little behind on some celebrations.

First off.... HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY AUNT KELSEY!!!! I guess since we celebrated when you were here it kinda pushed it to the back of my mind and I forgot to post it. So sorry.

Happy Father's Day.

Tonight Travis and I were talking about some people we know of that are getting seperated and it made me think of how Trav and I feel towards one another. We both decided that we have something that a lot of couples don't. We have never had a fight. We have never had to raise our voices at eachother. And we can always come to an agreement. He is the best dad to my kids. Tray looks forward everyday to when Travis comes home. He is usually waiting at the door to give him a huge hug too. And I know that Kinlee already has him wrapped around her finger.

Also I want to tell my dad that I love him. I've always been a daddy's girl and I wouldn't have it any other way. He has such a tender heart and is so caring. He also is the best grandpa too.

In other news this week..... TRAY PEED ON THE POTTY!!!!!

I have never been so excited for pee before, but let me tell you about my happy dance. You would have thought I was going to Las Vegas for SYTYCD. He's so funny too. He will pee a little and then get a treat, and then pee some more so he can have another treat. We are still far from not wearing diapers, but at least it's a start.

And here is Kinlee in her swimsuit.
