Date Night
A sudden change of plans this weekend landed me dinner at So Long Saloon and a K-State football game! It has been a long time since Josh and I were able to be spontaneous... Over 11 1/2 months, to be exact! But after hanging with our favorite baby on Friday and Saturday morning, we hopped in the car and headed to Manhattan for the evening. We started out at So Long Saloon, made quick friends with the bartender, and ate our weight in delicious food! We made a quick pit stop at Varney's and then to the game. We parked down the street from my old sorority and walked to the game from there. By the way, Jardine looks way different!

Weekend fun
This weekend everyone was up for family pictures and the Chiefs game. Friday night, my parents and Josh's mom made it to the last Olathe South Falcon football game. It was not our best season but Kinley and I came out bundled up to see Daddy coach before the season ended!
Saturday we all met up for family pictures in super cold temperatures to get the perfect shot! With eight adults and six kids under the age of 5 1/2, we were lucky to have a picture with all of our faces in it! It was definitely an adventure and all if the kids did awesome! I can't wait to see the end results! After pictures, the family came back to our house to eat, carve pumpkins and watch the KSU Wildcats game!
Sunday we ventured out to the Chiefs game versus the Raiders. We tailgated before and then went in to watch what we were hoping was going to be an awesome game. Not so much. I would hardly classify it as a game!
Tonight we are winding down from a busy weekend and gearing up for Kinley's first Halloween!

11 months
October 20, 2012
My beautiful little girl, you are 11 months old! Where has the time gone? You are busier and busier every day and continue to make us laugh with your silly actions and facial expressions! This month, you…
- weigh 23 pounds
- wear 12 month clothes
- wear size 3 diapers
- are finally growing bright blonde hair
- went to your first K State Wildcats game! And they beat OU!
- went to your first pumpkin patch
- are crawling all over the place and you can stand unassisted for several seconds
- still love the dogs and try and follow them all over the house
- Love climbing all over our furniture and have often times gotten stuck underneath our barstools
- are really good at cruising on furniture, dogs, or by holding our hands
- still have two bottom teeth and are possibly working on the top teeth
- give really good hugs and wrap your arms clear around our necks
- have been to several high school football games, but have also stayed home instead of braving the rain and freezing cold temperatures
- Love spaghetti, cooked carrots, ice cream, chocolate, oatmeal, puffs, yogurt melts, Lil Crunchers, and your bottle
- still take Prevacid at nighttime
- Love love love bathtime!
- still hate getting dressed and the car seat
- TOOK YOUR FIRST STEP YESTERDAY!!!
My dearest Kinley,
It is hard to believe what our lives were like 11 months ago. You are the absolute center of our world and light of our lives! Each day your smile brings happiness to our exhausted lives and makes us excited for our future as a family! Daddy says that when he gets home from work, your smile is what he looks forward to the most! You are so busy and fun at this age. You will push your toys all over the place, throw them in the air and then go chase them, and still chew on everything! You are such a joy to play with and watch grow! You are not the best napper, and have recently decided that you don't want to sleep through the night anymore. We are working with that. Mommy thinks you might be having night terrors because you don't seem awake when you are crying. We are managing through it though! My sweet baby, I cannot believe you're almost a year old. I have never enjoyed anything in my entire life as much as I have enjoyed being your mommy. We love you with our entire heart and always will!
We love you pumpkin,
Love always,
Mommy and Daddy

KC Pumpkin Patch
Next year, I will take the required "child-in-a-pile-of-pumpkins" photo first. At the end of our trip she was virtually asleep already.
Today we met up with my sister and her family for lunch after church and then off to the KC Pumpkin Patch in Gardner. We have been there on several occasions and always really enjoyed it. It is pretty expensive to get in so you should be on the lookout for Groupons!
Anyway, I took loads of pictures on my borrowed kick butt camera (Thanks Mary Lynn!) but have yet to upload them. The highlight, besides Kinley's adorable outfit, was my 18 month old nephew Brogan jumping on the huge pillow trampoline. It was a riot! I will leave you with these pictures! I love the one of Kinley "kissing" Josh's head!

K-S-U Wildcats!
There are few things that are better than winning on the road as a college football fan. One of those things is seeing it in person! For years we have gone to see the K-State vs OU game because my Dad and Millie are big OU fans and both my sister and I went to K-State!
The absolute best game that we witnessed in person was the 2003 Big 12 Championship game! If you are not familiar, we are probably not friends anyway...
This past week, Josh had a Thursday night game which freed up a rare fall weekend. We made a trip out of it and visited my parents in Tulsa too! We had an awesome time and really enjoyed showing Kinley the world of KSU football!

10 months!
Whoa Miss Kinley! You, my darling, are 10 months old! Just like each month before, you have been so busy! You...
- weigh 21 pounds
- wear 9 month and very few 9-12 month clothes and 3-4 shoes
- wear size 3 diapers
- still take Prevacid at night
- have two teeth and drool all day!
- crawl all over the place!
- get into everything!
- cruise all over the furniture and climb up on anything you can!
- went to your first Olathe South football game, Salina South football game, and Royals baseball game!
- love your rocking horse, walker, remote control, activity table and anything you can chew on!
- love feeding yourself and practically insist on it!
- love carrots, green beans, sweet potatoes, Mac and Cheese, chicken, turkey, ham, puffs, Cheerios, yogurt melts and Lil Crunchers!
- still think Daddy is so funny but need Mommy when you are sad, mad or unsure! :)
- absolutely love Bella and Dakota and are bribing them to like you by hand-feeding them your food!
My dearest Kinley,
It is amazing how much you change and grow every day! I feel like I missing most of it by being at work. You still love going to Miss Amy's house and get very excited when I get to pick you up! I love seeing your face light up when I walk in the room! It makes my entire day… I am so proud to be your mommy and love you so very much!
You are such a big girl now! You want to feed yourself, always be walking, and hate not being the center of attention! We are trying new foods in new activities every day, and you are loving all of them! You say mama and dada all of the time and might even be associating them with Daddy and I! Everyone that you meet says that you are a "study-er" because you stare them down. We know that you are just taking it all in. Once you get to know someone, you laugh and giggle all of the time. Your smile has gotten even cuter, if that is even possible, since you have gotten your two teeth! You chew on everything! Mommy's fingers, necklace, clothes, hair... Anything you can get your hands on!
Kinley, Daddy and I love you so very much! We are so lucky to have everything thatyou bring to our lives and know that someday you will truly understand how much we love you! You really are the light of our lives!
We love you always,
Mommy and Daddy

Busy weekend
I hardly took any pictures this weekend, which stinks! My parents, BoomPa and BoomMa were here this weekend and so was my sister, Kendell and her family. Everyone made it in time for Josh's game Friday night, even my other sister, Brandy and her family! It was a party! Even though it was September 7th, it was freezing. We were not prepared! But I did get a few cute shots of Kinley in her Falcon gear!
Saturday my family went to Legoland and I stayed home. I ended up going to the urgent care thinking I had strep throat, but it turned out to be a sinus infection instead. Woo hoo! That afternoon we hung out and watched football! I love the fall!
It was an awesome weekend. I love when our house is filled with family!
