Nothing to explain...

Titles are...lame. This is just a miscellaneous post with no purpose, really.

Kinley is cute, and I'm starting to get nervous about a 2nd kid. But not in the way you would think. I'm just nervous to not have me and Kinley time anymore. It's weird that I won't be able to just give her all my attention. Hopefully she loves her little brother so she doesn't mind. She met her newest cousin on the Ball side last week when we went to Newport and was IN LOVE with him. She wouldn't stop giving him kisses (Sorry Meg), and just wanted to be around him all the time. If that's how she reacts to her new brother I still may be in trouble because I won't be able to give him any distance from her....

and he will need his distance because...

Kinley likes to hit these days. A LOT! And it's really bugging me. Every time she hits I calmly tell her no we don't hit and say "We need to be soft" and show her how to be soft, I hold her hands down, and I have her give hugs before she's allowed to keep playing. It doesn't seem to be working, so I need a new plan. Yesterday morning before church, Taylor took something away from her and she got so upset with him. Threw a half second tantrum (Quite literally) and then CHASED him down. Seriously, ran after him to hit him. We were in shock and could NOT stop laughing. We just kept saying to each other, "Where the heck did that come from?" Then later at church she was hanging out by the nursery gate and her and another little boy kept poking each other in the face and laughing hysterically. But when another little boy came up she smacked him on the face and he started crying. I just took Kinley and ran (After apologizing). I almost started crying myself. I felt so bad. Ugh...kids are hard. So ya, hitting, we are having fun here ;)

Kinley loves to help out around the house still. She gets upset frequently when I am doing chores and not paying attention to her. But if I give her some way to help out, her demeanor and attitude quickly change. This morning I also noticed her grabbing hand towels out of the cupboard in the bathroom and scrubbing the floor. Haha. I must clean too much...or something.

We went to Newport 2 weeks ago and Kinley had lots of fun. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa!!! She was hesitant of the sand and water at first, but learned to love it. As long as we held her hand in the ocean she was all giggles. She loved going for walks and holding our hands (And we loved it too). The weather was so nice, it was hard to come back to Vegas where you melt, or at least feel like you are melting, as soon as you walk out the door. 

Here is our beach video I put together from this year.

And just for me because I love this kind of thing. 2010 (the year of our marriage) we didn't take pics at the beach for some reason?!?! Makes me mad! But here is our progression through the years. Haha.

2011. We still didn't take a picture together,
but we took a picture with Camden. Lol.
Pretending he was our child I guess? I may need to photoshop these.
2012- Just us. 

2013 Us plus Kinley

2014- Us, Kinley, and a baby bump to go with it. Next year there will be a boy in this picture too! AHHH.
(And excuse the black thing...It was the only place to put my lens cap). And I am normally not one to post pictures of me in swimsuits...but it just shows our growing family, so I had to!



 Less than 3 months now until this little boy is due. No name picked out yet. Curse the naming thing. We are excited though! It seems like such a crazy change for some reason. I feel like 2 kids is a bigger step than 1. I was trying to explain this to Taylor. It just feels like we are "advancing" somehow. Like right now with one kid we are just sorta at a stand still. I don't know. I'm never very good at explaining myself. That's all for now.
