Blanket tug of war... one of the many fun car travel games... :) Notice the van is packed to the ceiling leaving KS, we aren't sure how we plan to get home with everything when we leave Tyler... :)

*I sent my camera in for service the week before Xmas so I didn't have it in time for celebration at Gma and Gpa's house on Tuesday night with all the cousins - Aunt Krista will have to send us a few pics of that night! :)

MESS!

Kinley in trouble....

Momma: Do you understand me?
Kinley: (quietly) yes, sir... (this could have been on accident)
Momma: Kinley, that is not what you call me... Do you understand me?
Kinley: Yes Sir!
Momma: You better not call me sir!
Kinley: OK, ummm... yes Grandma... (with a ha ha look - bet you didn't think I would say that...)

What am I gonna do with her???

Holiday Fun!

Kinley's been having a ball with all the holiday festivities. This week we made gingerbread houses at LBC, took pictures in front of our family Christmas tree and visited Santa at the library for Santa pics complete with him reading, doing magic tricks and sharing cookies! This year Kinley asked Santa for a real camera, princess puzzles, toys for her doll house, a princess wand, a princess necklace and a princess puzzle for Momma so Momma and Kinley can do puzzles together. :) Momma had to call Santa last night and tell him Kinley wasn't being very nice at dinner so Kinley is on her best behavior today so maybe Momma will call him back so he will still bring her the presents this year. :)

Christmas Tree 2010!

What a big helper Kinley was this year with the Christmas decorations! Last year it was neat cause she was excited to help, but this year she really was a help and she had a ball. It must have been a cold night to decorate the tree cause Kinley insisted her and Jax both wear the new animal hats Momma got when she was visiting the Zesus family in New York the week before!

Kansas Thanksgiving 2010!

Cousins, cousins, cousins! Kansas Thanksgiving was all about hangin with the cousins. This was Kinley's 1st to meet her cousin Noah who is now 2 months old. He was born 2 days after we came home from our last trip to KS so it was a long wait to finally get to meet him. Kinley had a great visit with Grandma and Grandpa Oakley, her Great Grandparents, all her aunts, uncles and cousins and a few friends and extended relatives we got to see during the week.


Climbing Up...


Sliding Down...


Group Shot... no one noticed that this picture was taken after Kate had decided she didn't want to hold Tegan anymore, about .2 secs later, Tegan did a nice little roll down the next two steps. Impressive that all 14 lbs of her sat on the step by herself to get a nice group shot! :)


The biggest girl cousin and the littlest girl cousin... that is until Jordyn arrives in Feb!


Aunt Kayla and Aunt Shelly playing at Pump It Up!


Kinley likes to call it "Kansas Bouncin Bears"


Kinley's friend Sophie just happened to be there that day as well!


Crazy Aunt Jenn, Aunt Shell and a BUNCH of Cousins!

Tyler Thanksgiving 2010!

We started our Thanksgiving trip in Tyler visiting Grandma Kerry and Grandpa Tom. Kinley got to do lots of fun things while we were there. Here are a few pics of some of her favorite activities - the ZOO, roasting marshmallows outside and playing in the princess outfit Gma got her.
