Kinsley's 1!

I wanted to put stuff up about my sweet baby's birthday, but first we were all sick and then it took me awhile to get my camera downloaded. So here we are! August 15th was Kinsey's first birthday. I can't believe she's already 1! The last year has gone by so fast! She has been such a sweet and fun addition to our family! She is always smiling and laughing. She is very lovable and cuddly. Kinsley loves all her siblings and is so patient with all the "love" she recieves in return! She finally learned to crawl at just over 11 months and I've seen her pull up to standing just a few times. She knows that her 3 big sibs will bring her whatever she needs and that mommy will pick her up when she cries, so why does she need to move? One of these days she'll walk, but I'm pretty content with her staying a baby a little while longer :)! Kinsley wasn't feeling great on her birthday, but she still had a good time. She loved the presents and even got the hang of opening them! By cake time though, she wasn't feeling great and didn't know what to think. She didn't really know what to do with the whole cake in front of her. She was better with a small piece and she LOVED the ice cream (definitely takes after her mom and dad!) It was a fun day, although a little sad for me as my baby isn't as much a baby anymore! It's so fun to see her personality progress as she grows! Happy Birthday sweet baby girl!

She really wanted that toy out of there!

She loves her new princess car that Grandma and Papa got her!
"It's my party and I'll cry if I want to!"
Happy girl!
Cake's not so bad!

Summer Fun!

It's been a fun summer! We've camped, gone to the zoo, the beach, gone swimming, played in the sprinkler, played with friends, and just hung around the house. It'll be a nice change for the girls to go back to school, although it really makes me sad. I'll miss having them around! Nicholas will especially miss them! I don't think he'll know what to do without them home! Here are some pictures of our summer activities!
