Two Months

Once again, it's hard to believe that 2 months have passed!  Kinley remains a great baby!  She is sleeping from 8pm to 6.30-7am.  Feeding before I go to bed and once in the night!  She sleeps for 4-8 hrs at a time! Where does time go?

Weekend Away~

Soren loving playing at the motel!

 Kinley hanging out by the pool with Daddy!

 Como Zoo!

 The swing-ride was a favorite!

 Soren is proud of his 'drivers license' that he received from this ride!

The result of TWO days without naps & a busy day at Como.

 Sloan, Soren & Adam!

10 yrs ago these guys were all working at Target & were bachelors!  Fast-forward 10 yrs and they are all married with kids! It was a different gathering than 10 yrs ago but still fun! :)

For some reason this I couldn't put this paragraph at the top...ugggh!!!  This past weekend the four of us got to spend some time together in Minneapolis! It was nice and relaxing yet fun and entertaining. It was just nice to get-a-way, the four of us!

Abundantly Blessed!

Last night my good friends/small group held a baby shower for Kinley & I!  It was awesome:)  We started out the evening by 'popcorn prayer' for Kinley & I!  I was overwhelmed with emotion as these many different ladies prayed for us!  For now and what's to come in life....for the good times & challenging times!  It was awesome to look around at the wide variety of women there and just what they had to offer/encourage/share!  Also, because I am not a fan of the traditional shower games the ladies made a toybox for Kinley.  Complete with building blocks for A to Z!  Of course there was great food and great company! 

 The ladies that came to celebrate Kinley's life!

 Two of the most amazing women ever!  Thanks Ladies!!!!

Beth & Emily

 You can see the toybox and blocks on the bottom of this picture!

Kinley, Myself, Holly & Alec!  Alec is only 3 days younger than Kinley!  Holly and I went through alot together with these pregnancies!  I couldn't have done it without her amazing support/prayers!  It will be fun to see them grow up together!

Smiley baby...

We have seen some smiles out of Miss Kinley these past few weeks but in the last week she has exploded with them!  Of course, I can't catch it on photo but here are some attempts!



South Dakota

 This past weekend we were able to spend it with my folks!  It was their town's Harvest Days!  Soren enjoyed the 'train' above!

 A lawn mower ride from Grandpa!

 Kinley spent time on the counter helping Grammie Sue make supper!

 Grammie Sue & Soren on the teeter-toter! (sp?)

 Riding the train throughout the park!

 Kinley was there, too!!

Grammie Sue, Soren, & Grandpa 'following the yellow brick road!'

County Fair

 This was Soren's first rollercoaster ride and he LOVED it! 

The highlight for him was the tractor-pull!!  Kinley & I didn't go due to noise, etc so here is the picture of him right before going with Daddy to watch!!  He's already talking about next year when we go!

4 yrs old

So, Soren doesn't technically turn 4 until the 24th but here is a preview of the pics my friend Emily took!  I may be biased but that are perhaps some of my favorites!
