3 Years


Dear Kinley,
     Yesterday you turned 3 years old!  How is that even possible?  I can not believe it has been 3 years since that very first moment I looked into your eyes.  I knew you were going to be an amazing edition to our family, and boy was I right!  We still call you tornado, but it's more of a funny joke then who you really are.  Yes, you have constant energy and are always running around like crazy, which is why the name has stuck. Oh, and while you should be napping, you pull out all the books and puzzles in your room and make the biggest mess on the floor!  But, you are also my kiddo that will curl up on the couch with me and snuggle while we read a good book.  In the mornings you come into my room and climb in bed to get your snuggles.
     You became a big sister this year, and you are so good at that job!  You are always making sure Addison stays out of trouble.  When we are out shopping at you loose sight of me for a moment you get a panicked look on your face and frantically start searching for me.  
     This year for your birthday we went on a camping trip with Uncle Jason, Aunt Steffany, and Elias.  You were in heaven!  When you opened your presents this year, you would look at the item and say "for me?"  It was so cute!  You are such a thankful little girl and always polite at others.
     You love to wear dresses.  They are an every day attire, and you defiently have your favorite ones you like to wear.  In fact, you wear them so much, that the guy at Costco asks where your princess dress is when you don't have it on!
     You are amazing Kinely Grace!  Thank you for your love and for being YOU!  I can't wait to see you blossom this year!
Love, Mommy

Hot Springs

This weekend, Tim and I got to take the kids to their first natural Hot Springs. They thought it was so cool after a long hike they got to soak in the hot tub. Natural Hot Springs are something Tim and I have always loved to do, and it was so much fun being able to share it with our kiddos.




Polson


Mom and Dad were back in town for a few short days, so I decided to take them up to Polson and show them Flathead Lake. It was a beautiful day, nice and warm and sunny. We got to check out the damn and a little bit of the lake. It would've been a bit more enjoyable if the nats hadn't tried to eat us while we were looking at the water!  
Thanks for the wonderful visit, and all your help. We love you guys.

Hiking the L

Last year we hiked the M on the Missoula mountain side, so this year we tackled the L. It is pretty steep, so we were very proud of Kinley making it all the way up. Pretty sure Carter ran most of the way up. That boy is an animal. And Addison made it up snug on her Daddy's back!

Smiles


Addison is my little smile bug!  She is such a happy, joyful baby!  We are so blessed by all of our sweet kids!
