2012

2012 started out to be a wonderful year with Kinsley's arrival in March. I have to say though that we are anxious to put 2012 behind us and have a great 2013. We have had a wild year and have high hopes for the New Year.

 

 

We hope you all have a great Christmas and Best Wishes for a wonderful New Year.

 

 

We are ready for Christmas at our house and have all of our shopping done and gifts wrapped. The kids are really excited for Santa to come. I am glad it is only a week away because I don't think any of our gifts will survive much beyond that with Kinsley re-arranging them every 10 minutes!!

 

We will NEVER forget those we lost this year or all the good times we had. Memories last forever and pictures only keep them closer to our hearts.

 

 

A soon goodbye to 2012 and a warm WELCOME to 2013. Wishing you all the good things in life.

 

 

Love to all,

 

 

Wade, Katie, Ryder and Kinsley

 

 

 



And then...

 How handsome is Ryder? He is all boy and usually wears a cowboy hat everywhere we go, love it.

 I hope that Ryder and Kinsley's relationship stays the same as it is right now. They are good friends and actually play pretty well together. Ryder is just now learning how to defend his property since Kinsley is all over the place. They are truly are the best kids.

 Weaned our calves and took a few photos. They are all sold now and gone, thank heavens. It is nice to have them gone and have the money!

 This picture means nothing to anyone but a mom. Ryder came running out of our room the other night and said he had folded his wash cloths for me. I had to take a picture of what a good job he did, what a good helper, and an amazing, thoughtful kid.

We also had Thanksgiving at our house, just us 4. We had a huge meal and ate lots of good food. It was nice to be home with the kids and Wade on such a great day.

Lots Happening

 Ryder took swimming lessons this fall for the first time. He really did well and had a ton of fun. He ended up being the only one in his class, so he got a lot of one on one time!

I can't remember where we were going in these pictures, but I never miss a chance to snap a picture. I love the picture with Wade and the kids, if Ryder's finger wasn't half way to his nose!

Catching Up, Up, Up....

 I had to snap this shot of Ryder. Can you believe Ryder used to actually fit in this car seat? He isn't getting any heavier, but he is getting so tall, we seem to be buying new pants all the time just because they are so short!

 Do you think Kinsley likes the camera? She is crawling everywhere now, pulling herself up on everything and staying pretty happy. She is now almost 9 months old, I can't believe it!

 Ryder was a dragon for Halloween, have you ever seen a cuter dragon????

 Kinsley was a cupcake, so, so sweet!

And Grandma Susan helped/carved the kids pumpkins. How cute are they?
