So Jonathon called me on Saturday and told me that they were going to get a week off starting that day. He told me to leave my moms and meet him up at his moms later that night. So Kelly, Nicole, Alexis, Kinleigh, and I packed up the car and made the 4 hour drive up here to American Fork. I dropped off Kelly and Nicole after a VERY long 4 hour drive. Alexis was naughty the first 2 hours.. and then Nicole was a little naughty the last 2 hours. Kinleigh cried way more than she usually does while we are traveling, so basically Kelly was out of her seat belt trying to take care of all the kids every other minute. I was happy when we finally got to Jonathon's moms house. It was really great to be back with Jonathon after not seeing him for almost a week. I was however sad to leave my nice comfy bed at my moms house :( lol. The boys all rode with my dad from Elko and my dad dropped them off before heading down to Monticello. So Sam and my dad both drove the whole 8 hour drive that day. We've just been hanging out since getting to Celenas. She has already made yummy dinners for us as usual :) Yesterday Keri and Adam came over to Celenas to visit and eat dinner with us! We all went over to the Elementary school and while the boys played basketball Keri and I watched the kids play on the playground. It was nice to sit and catch up with Keri :) Kinleigh is still doing amazing at night.. but during the day can get fussy. It's so weird and sometimes nothing you do makes her happy. During the day she has a really hard time getting into a deep sleep it seems like. I'll think she is fast asleep and then go to lay her down and she is wide awake again. So I don't know if it's just that she isn't getting really good sleep in the day that is making her fussy or what. Because at night she doesn't make a peep. She sure is a cutie pie though! I think she is getting a little spoiled already when it comes to always needing to be held. I blame that on our crazy life. I couldn't bring her swing with us because there just isn't enough room. So I don't really have anywhere to just put her and not worry about someone sitting on her or Alexis bugging her. I CAN'T wait until I have my own place. There is always so much going on during the day also no matter where we are at.. So Kinleigh always gets woken up. Kinleigh has started smiling just in the last couple of days! She doesn't do it way often, mostly in the morning when she first wakes up. She is so dang cute and I just love her sooo much! Alexis is going through some pretty weird stages right now. She has to change her clothes about 10 times a day.. and she has to change her "girl panties" that's what she calls them.. just as much. I asked her why she thinks she needs to change her "girl panties" so often and she couldn't really give me an answer. It is pretty annoying though. I'll walk into the room and she'll have clothes and girl panties scattered everywhere. Alexis has also been very (I hate to say it) naughty lately. It seems like no matter what I say to her she wants to always be sassy or ornery. I think that she is acting out to try and get my attention. I've been really trying to constantly give Alexis as much attention as possible to make sure she knows that she is just as important to me as she has always been. I would never want Alexis to feel like Kinleigh gets more attention or anything like that. But I've also explained to Alexis that right now Kinleigh does need lots of my attention. She doesn't resent her sister at all though.. and absolutely loves her little sister. I think she just might be a little frustrated with me because I can't just drop everything for her like before. Alexis is so smart and so much fun! I love her sooo much :) Anyways tomorrow we are supposed to do a walk through with an inspector in the house out in Sarartoga Springs that we could be closing on here very soon. So I guess we'll see how the next week goes. I just wanted to hurry and say how nice it is to have Jonathon around and not working. This morning he took Kinleigh for me so that I could sleep in. A couple of hours later the baby was fed, changed, and fast asleep. Alexis had also been bathed and dressed. It was so weird to not have to get anyone else ready but myself. He is such a big help to me :)
