Gym Class

A good friend and I decided we would sign our kiddos up for a gym class together. It has definitely become a highlight each week and Kinsley has enjoyed it tremendously. It has been fun to see her learning the concepts of taking turns and taking risks.....not always easy for a one year old!

long golden locks

Although Kinsley and I both are battling through cases of strep throat it didn't stop her from looking like a cutie pie. If you look closely at the pics you can see her 1st ever ponytail. I've waited 17 months for this!

Prayers

This is a different kind of post, as it is more of a prayer request than an update. my brother-in-law, lane, is in the army and will be deployed to iraq next week. while we have known for quite some time that this was on the horizon it still leaves a numbing feeling now that it is here. sarah and lane flew home last weekend for final goodbyes and though the time was short it was incredibly treasured.....we even had a mini-christmas since he will be gone for the holidays. please pray for lane's safety while away and for sarah to adjust to his absence with comfort and peace.

Frisco and football

Simply for the sake of an update, here are a few recent pics of us in the mountains and at an Air Force Academy game.

North Pole!

Ben's parents visited a couple weeks ago and we headed to the North Pole. It was such a fun way to spend a day in the mountains and I would highly recommend it to others. Don't assume that Kinsley's straight face means she is not having the time of her life---oh so serious!!!

ribbons and curls

Lately Kinsley has been embracing her girly side. Her baby goes everywhere she goes and if it isn't within her view she chants,"baby, baby, baby" over and over. She also is loving the dresses, skirts and ribbons that i am obsessed with having her wear.

Minnesota!

We had a great trip to Minnesota--loved spending time with Ben's family! We were also able to enjoy a weekend away just the 2 of us while grandma and grandpa took care of Kinsley. The most memorable moment of the trip was being there to see Uncle Jake propose to Alisha!
