Thankful

We had a great Thanksgiving break! First stop Dallas for Freeze Thanksgiving and fun with cousins.

Nash and Kinley are 6 weeks apart and they are so fun to watch. They thought Elmo Live was hilarious!

Mason is so sweet with Kinley. They were making faces at each other.

Saturday was the Millwood family reunion. I think there were 55 of us! Oldest (and spunkiest) member, my great grandmother - 94.

5 Generations!

My cousin Jenna, who has started a photography business, took our family picture. I am having the hardest time trying to decide which to order because they are all good. Here's my favorite of Kinley by herself. So sassy!

I am so blessed...and thankful!

Show Me Your Teeth

I know this won't be as funny to you as it is to me because I am her Momma and I think she's the most precious girl ever, but I wanted to share it anyway. Enjoy!

The Party and More

We had the official b-day party on Saturday. It was held in south AR so the deer hunters in our family (DaDa and Pop) would be in attendance! There were about 30 of us and it was a fun time. Thank you all for coming and for your generosity to Kinley on her 1st birthday!!

Here's the b-day girl! She was way too busy to look at the camera

Cute decor
Isn't this precious?!!

The smash cake

Cousin Nash and Kinley giving kisses

Who cares about presents, just give me the paper!

So sweet, picking off the dots

That's my girl! I knew she would get the hang of it!

The SMASHED cake

Nash digging in too!

Zach and I agreed it has been the best year of our lives!

Miss K had her 12 month check up yesterday so we have official stats!

She weighed 21lbs 1.5oz which is in the 50th percentile

She was 30.5" which is in the 90th percentile

She got 4 shots (including H1N1) yesterday. Poor girl cried harder than she ever has before (and she DOES know how to cry)...it hurts a momma to see that! Are you with me?

The dr told me to get her off the night-night bottle. I am dreading this and have been putting it off since she doesn't take a binky. Hopefully it wont be too bad. Wish me luck!

P.S. Anyone know why my pictures are so pixel-y? They don't look like this when I view them on my computer

She's ONE!

Kinley Clare is ONE today!

One year ago today God blessed Zach and me by bringing this little miracle into the world. What a fun year it has been!

The three of us celebrated her big day with cake and presents. I hesitated to give her cake before her big party, but I decided that no one should go without cake on their birthday!

She was so dainty at first, picking the sprinkles and eating them one by one.

Then finally after several minutes she dug in! Everytime she would lick her fingers she would get riggers! It was too funny.

Then she insisted on feeding Daddy!

Here's her new shopping cart

Look at that sweet smile!

It has been a great day....minus the diarrhea K has had after the cake. Poor girl!
Happy B-day Kinley!

I can't believe it...

I am sitting here with a knot in my stomach at the thought that Kinley Clare will be 1 tomorrow. Kind of makes me want to vomit. Can anyone empathize?

I was thinking of what I was doing on Nov 10, 2008. I remember not sleeping much during the night because I knew I was to be admitted to the hospital for induction at 6pm. So I woke up early and got ready for work. I remember I had on a cute outfit and these shoes............how did these not make me go into labor?!! I do love to wear heals, although I am realizing that it is a little difficult with a baby. I am trying to be more conservative!

I worked most of the day trying to leave things tidy and feeling so anxious and excited about what would happen in the next 48 hours.

After work I came home, changed into something comfy and headed to the hospital. Here's Zach and me just before we left.

Yikes! I was HUGE! It is so funny that I really didn't think I was that big, until I look back at pictures. I guess I couldn't see myself from the same angle as all of you. Ha!

Kinley's big party is on Saturday with family and friends, but we are going to have a little party (just the 3 of us tomorow) so I will post pics of the b-day girl!

He is Enough

Amy over at How Sweet It Is has "Marquee Mondays". I LOVE the idea, so I am jumping onboard today even though it's Tuesday! There is a church we pass going to our house that always has sayings or scripture that speak to me. This one really got my attention the past couple days, so I'm sharing in effort to be a conduit! Have a great day!
