It seems like I haven't posted in forever.... Which makes me sad, because Kinleigh is growing so dang fast. I haven't even had a second to get on the computer though.. much less do a post.
ANYWHO...
These last few weeks have been awesome! We finished getting our stuff from Monticello.. and drove up to our house in Saratoga Springs the night before Easter. Jonathon pretty much unloaded the whole U-haul into our kitchen, set up our bed.. and we all fell asleep.
Jonathon and I spent most of the first week looking around at several different furniture stores. We found some furniture that we love! It's been really fun getting stuff for the house :) That same week we spent time with Jonathon's family.. and also my family because my parents and Derek came up for Keri's college graduation! I'm so proud of my lil sister :) Her graduation was very long.. but I'm so glad I got to attend.
Chris and Summer came over and saw our house one night, and we enjoyed visiting with them
and their kids. Jonathon even started a fire on our fire pit thing outside and we had Sm ores :) Jonathon's mom and his brother and sisters also came by that week to see the house!
That next Monday, Jonathon and Chad headed back to Elko for work. I was going to go, but I didn't want to leave my house.. LOL. So Chad and Jonathon drove over together. Kelly and I had planned to drive to Elko together on Friday.. But the boys actually ended up coming back home on Thursday night. I guess the equipment they use is down.. and needs some parts to get fixed so they sent them home. I was glad to have my hubby back so quickly :). Since Jonathon's been home, we've just hung out together and tried to finish more projects around the house.
Jonathon and his dad worked out in the garage all day today getting it re-painted. Last night we took a break from projects and had dinner with Adam, Keri, Ayden, Chad, Kelly, and Nicole!
We went to our new ward last Sunday for the first time! It starts at 11:00 and I'm SO thankful for that! Alexis stayed in her primary class the whole time :) I thought she'd have a harder time adjusting.. but she proved me wrong :)
We've been able to meet a few of our neighbors.. and they all seem very nice! The couple that live right next door to our left are around our age and have a 10 month old little boy. The wife's name is Aubrie! So her name has been easy to remember... LOL
Anyways just to hurry and jot down a few things about each of us... (JOURNAL PURPOSES!)
Jonathon - is getting a little sick of working in Elko. ONLY because he can't be at his new house. Ha Ha. Otherwise he likes it because of the money they are making. He has BIG ideas for our house.. and can hardly wait to be able to get all of the many projects he wants to do done. He has really enjoyed being able to spend so much time with all his girls.. (YES, I'm included!) He's been able to get to know Kinleigh a lot better and just melts when she smiles. He can get her to almost laugh.. (She hasn't really laughed yet) when he tickles her back. :)
Audrey- is getting really tired of having this baby weight still!! UGH! I only have myself to blame though. SOOOO I'm trying to make working out a little more enjoyable. I got the Zumba videos and have really loved it! Except it's so hard to workout when the girls seem to need me every second when I'm trying to work out. It seems like the minute I put in the video they both need me right then.. So I'm going to start going to Zumba classes at Gold's Gym :)
I've REALLY enjoyed having my very own place! It's been so great. I love our neighborhood.. and we all really enjoy going on walks and bike rides together! I'm so glad that it is starting to warm up! I'm still trying to get everything unpacked and out of boxes. I also am still trying to decide on colors I want for the rooms.. and things like that. But I'm excited for it all to come together :)
Alexis- is getting WAY too big :( Her new favorite thing to do right now is spend the night at her Aunties house.. (Grandma Celenas.) She just LOVES her aunties, so she asks to spend the night over there all the time lately. She also LOVES her house! She loves the playroom downstairs, and makes anyone that comes over go down and see it! She's made friends with the neighbor kids that live right across from us.. and goes over there to play almost every day. (Hopefully she doesn't start driving them crazy. LOL) She is OBSESSED with changing her clothes. She probably changes at least 30 times a day. NO JOKE. I'm not exaggerating either. It is getting very annoying. She doesn't just change her outfit. She has this weird thing going on that whenever she changes.. she'll get completely naked. Yes naked. She takes off her "girl panties" as she calls them and her socks and puts on new ones. So even if she's only had them on for 10 minutes she'll still change them if she wants to change her outfit. She even has me take her necklace off and put it back on every single time... I KNOW I KNOW.. it's a little strange. But hey hopefully it's just another phase. I can't keep up with her anymore.. so I pretty much just finally get sick of her asking to change every minute and tell her FINE as long as she folds the other clothes and puts them up. Her folding of course is her just throwing them in the laundry basket.. LOL.
Alexis is SO good with Kinleigh! And can get Kinleigh to smile all the time :) She likes to hold Kinleigh and still gives her lots and lots of kisses. She loves that she can hop on her bike and ride it around the cul-da-sac. She sure is a cutie!
I'm going to start looking around for a dance class to put her in.. and I think I've found a pre-school up here that would be awesome for her to go to!! Anyways I love her tons and tons and can't believe she'll be five in just a couple of months. Where in the world did the time go???
Kinleigh- is just the stinken cutest little thing ever!!! I LOVE LOVE my baby girl to pieces :) She wakes up about two times during the night to eat. Then she'll wake up around 8 am. and smile and smile and try to talk to us! She is soooo happy in the morning. So even if I'm way tired I get up and hang out with her because she is just so smiley in the mornings. She'll usually stay awake till about 9:30 or 10 am. and then go back to sleep for a while! She is a really good baby.. but is a little bit spoiled about wanting to always be held. She is the happiest person ever when I'm holding her :) I can get her to sit in her bouncer for a little bit.. but she starts getting very restless if I make her stay in there too long. She LOVES when people talk to her. And she gets the biggest smile on her face!
I can't believe Kinleigh will be 3 months old on May 8th. It makes me sad that she is growing so fast.
Kinleigh rolled over for the first time when my mom was up here last. So I think it was on April 30th. My mom said she rolled over from her stomach to her back!
-She blows bubbles
-She is very ticklish.
-She LOVES her stroller
-She doesn't like her car seat very much. (Sometimes she'll cry so hard in the car that she almost stops breathing.. and we have to pull over and take her out for a minute. She WILL not stop crying for anything when she gets to that point. It is the saddest thing.)
-She is ALWAYS eating it seems like.. LOL
-She still LOVES taking baths (especially with Alexis.)
-She doesn't like having a wet diaper.. and will let you know that she is uncomfortable.
-The fan in our room can keep her smiling for a good 15 minutes! ha ha.
-Still likes her Binky, but has a hard time keeping it in her mouth. So I usually have to hold it there for a few minutes.. LOL.
She is getting to be soooo much fun! And we all just love her to pieces :)
I think that is about it.. for now anyways.
