I am still in shock Kinsey is 15 months old.. Where has all the time gone???
We were a little late on this check-up because I knew Kinsey would be getting shots and I didnt want her to get them right before our trip, so I scheduled it after! She is doing really well and has even gained 1 full pound since her 12 month check up! She is still not 20lbs though ahah she is only 19.6 so still really little :) A funny thing that happened was the MA measured her head and said it was 40.4cm. I was thinking in the back of my mind "last time she was 43 cm!! is her head shrinking??". Then her dr came in and even made a comment and had her come in and re-measure..well it was actually 45cm around so she had not shrunk! lol He looked at her and said "i was worried we had a case of shrunken head syndrome" lol
at 15 months of age here are a few things Kinsey loves to do and does :)
*she will give you kisses anytime, anywhere! and they are the best!
*if you tell her no and she knows she does something wrong, she will come over to you and kiss you lol
*food is her favorite thing still, she will eat all day long if she could!
*Kinsey can now walk REALLY fast (almost running)
*she knows where her hair, eyes, and nose are
*you MUST ask her what she wants to wear or she gets mad and throws a fit (I'm in for it big time when she is older! yikes!)
*she goes to bed around 8 and wakes up between 730 and 8 and only takes one nap a day
*Kinsey loves to run around the house YELLING "Mom!"
*Leo and Kinsey play together all day non stop and she loves that dog so much!
*she now says: mom, dad, grama, thank you, Leo and MUAH!
*Mickey Mouse Club House is her favorite cartoon (one of the few she gets to watch)
*she dances as soon as she hears music
*when she is done eating she hands me her plate and pushes herself away from the table
*Kinsey seriously has a smile on her face 90% of the day! she is always happy!
*she also has an extreme attitude!! (i wonder where she gets that from hehe)
*she has most of her teeth already, including pre-molars!
*Kinsey is my little helper when it comes to house work, she helps dust, vacuum, and sweep.
*snuggling is one of her favorite things to do and I LOVE when she comes and sits on my lap and just lays her head back :)
Being a stay at home mommy is NOT easy at all and for anyone who says it is has never done it. But it is the MOST rewarding thing I have ever experienced and will ever do in my life! I love being a mom and knowing that I am raising my daughter and not anyone else :) She is my best friend and I enjoy every minute I spend with her. She is my lunch and dinner date buddy when I dont feel like cooking and Brandon is at work, she is my shopping partner and always helps me make decisions, and she is just the most perfect girl I could ever want! These past 15 months have been some of the best months in my LIFE! I love you Kinsey Beans!!

SAN DIEGO!!!
We finally got to go on a family vacation!!! It was so much fun to just get away with the 3 of us and leave all the worries of home and work and all the stress behind!
I scheduled our take off time to leave to San Diego at 3pm and that was a HUGE mistake.. Kinsey woke up at 7 am ( i think she knew and was just too excited ) and from that time on seemed like time was at a stand still... I would check the time and it would be 11am and then what seemed like 2 hours was only 15 min! I felt like a little kid haha One the way to the airport, I realized I had forgotten our camera! I was devastated and yes, I even cried.. But thankfully Brandon has an amazing phone with a great camera so we were saved. The plane was empty on our way there so even though I didnt pay to have Kinsey in her own seat, she got one anyways :) She was so excited and jumping around and I even got her to clap and laugh during take-off so she wouldnt focus on the butterflies in her belly!
Our first night there we just walked around the blocks of our hotel. We stayed at the Days Inn and I TOTALLY recommend it to anyone going out there! It was in such a great location. Walgreens right next door, a TON of restaurants all around, grocery store across the street, and they even provided transportation to the Zoo, Sea World, Old Town, the Harbor, and pretty much anywhere you wanted to go for no cost! All we had to do was call the front desk the night before and tell them the time we wanted to go to our destination and what time we wanted to come back and they were there to take us. AND free breakfast every morning (pancakes, hashbrowns, eggs, toast, muffins, you name it)!
The first day we decided to go to Sea World. The weather was perfect with a few clouds and the sun was shinning!! We saw all the shows they had to offer and saw almost the whole park.. we missed a few things because we ran out of time but it was still so much fun! I even got to pet a dolphin and this cute little boy that was next to me touched it and said "Dad, it feels like a grape!" I couldnt help but laugh cuz they really do feel like a grape! Kinsey had such a blast watching all the animals and just walking around :) My favorite shows were the otter show because it was a comedy and I laughed the whole time! and the dolphin show was awesome as well because they mixed it with birds and so ppl dressed in these neat bird costumes danced around and were flying everywhere haha When we got home we realized we were all BURNT!! I caked the sunscreen on Kinsey but unfortunately i missed a spot right under her eye :( i was so sad and felt like a horrible mom!! Brandon was a lobster everywhere but his neck because i put sunscreen on that area for him haha and i was fried on my legs. The best part about that was i had a line from where Kinsey was sitting on my lap and everything else around that was red haha For dinner we walked about a mile away from our hotel to Phil's BBQ. Our shuttle driver told us it was amazing and even on the food network channel, and boy was he right!! the ribs just fell of the bone and everything was so yummy! i wish they had one around here..
The second day we went to the San Diego Zoo. The weather this day was very cold!!! and we were all in shorts and t-shirts with just a light jacket.. Thankfully I have such a manly husband and he gave up his jacket so Kinsey could have it wrapped around her :) We started the day with the tour bus that took us around the whole zoo! This was awesome because we got to see where we wanted to go and where we didnt really care to see ha because this zoo is HUGE!!! i feel safe saying its 5x the size of our local Hoogle Zoo! They have over 2000 different animals and they even have plants they are growing to help preserve the rain forests. It is so pretty there and I learned so much about all the animals! One of my favorite parts was when we were looking at the very LARGE turtles from the Galapagos Islands. These guys weigh up to 600 lbs and live to be over a 100 years old! I got to pet one and his name was Oliver :) poor Oliver is going blind so he had a hard time finding his food.. Another part I LOVED was the giraffes. They are my favorite animal and there was a baby there that was only 6 weeks old that we got to see!
As if the zoo wasnt enough fun for one day, we decided to go to Old Town that night. Im so glad we did because we ate at this authentic Mexican restaurant and Kinsey had so much fun it was hilarious!!! 3 men walked around singing and playing the guitar and she would dance and just laugh when they would get close to us haha. We were sitting outside and Kinsey found out if she dropped a chip on the ground a little bird would come over and eat it! So all night she would take a bite of her food then drop some on the floor and laugh when the bird would come! I love how smart she is and how much personality she has!!
Or third day there we decided to relax a little bit in the morning since we had been getting up early to get out and see everything. So we ate breakfast, lounged around watching TV, and even took a family nap :) That afternoon we went to the Harbor. There were so many neat shops and really neat marine boats docked and open to the public! Kinsey was still in her resting mood so she slept most the time we walked around the harbor lol. We also took a ferry to Coronado to shop in more shops :) we played on the beach for a little bit and Kinsey LOVED the sand! she wiped her lips a few times but learned really fast that sand is not yummy! Then we decided to eat at a nice place for our last night in San Diego so we chose a place called Anthony's. Our shuttle driver told us it was a very popular place so we decided to try it :). Brandon and I both got the salmon and it was delicious!!! Kinsey was in heaven with her noodles and red sauce and ate all my vegetables off my plate haha.
The next day was the last day we had in San Diego and the day we flew out.. We did not want to leave and I will even admit I was extremely ornery that morning haha We had check out of our hotel by 1230 and our plane didnt leave until 430 so we had to sit in the airport FOREVER!!! Thankfully Kinsey crashed in my arms and slept the whole time, and Brandon had his phone to play on, and I just got to sit there at watch my angel sleep :) This time the plane was packed full and they even had ask for volunteers to change to another flight! Kinsey did pretty well sitting on our lap! She made the flight very eventful though.. she decided to poop half way through the flight!!! I didnt know what to do.. it stunk so bad (sorry to gross anyone out lol) and i didnt dare change her in my lap because i didnt want the poor guy next to me to be scared for life! so i headed to the nasty nasty bathrooms! I put a mat down on top of the toliet and did the best i could.. about that same time i heard the pilot announce there was going to be turbulence! GREAT!!!!! Long story short.. i hope NO ONE ever has to go through that!! I felt so bad for Kinsey.. She got a bath in my hand sanitizer when we got back to our seat :( Well that was just the beginning of our adventures on that plane.. everyone around us got sick because of the bad turbulence and they even used those nice "barf" bags put in front of the seats! THANK GOODNESS Kinsey, Brandon, and I were ok.. Brandon got to be very pasty and Kinsey just layed on my chest and I was smart enough to take a zofran before getting on the flight ;) We finally landed and headed home!!
I am so glad we got to go on this vacation with the 3 (well 4) of us because with another one on the way it will prob be a long time before we get to do this again!

Mothers Day
I know.. I know.. Im a little late. But better late then never right?! ha
My mothers day this year was fantastic!! I am beginning to LOVE this "holiday" because it has such a great meaning.. Mothers really are to thank for so much, I know my mom is. I decided this year I didnt want to worry about going to a bunch of get-togethers like I did last year, so I had a lunch at my house so everyone could come to me! My mom, Rob, Colton, Mason, Debbie and her husband Rob, and Devin all came to celebrate with Kinsey, Brandon, and me :) It was so nice to have just the small group of us and just RELAX!! We had yummy chicken salad sandwiches with a black bean salad and chips and a punch I made that I absolutely LOVE! Nothing fancy.. just simple and fun :).
Later that afternoon we had to still see Brandon's mom so we drove out to Honeyville to his aunts house.. On our way we stoped at my aunts to see my dad and he gave me some beautiful flowers, my aunt gave me some good smelling lotion, and my grandma gave me a really pretty watch! We ate dinner at Brandon's aunts and then headed home so we could spend the rest of the night with just our little family!
I am so thankful for my mom and for EVERYTHING she does for me!! She is my true best friend and is there for me no matter what. I hope I will be as close to Kinsey at this age as I am to my mom. The longest I have gone without talking to my mom is prob only 2 days and I honestly cant remember when that was.. I can talk to her about anything and know she will not judge me or look down on me, I know I make her proud and that is the BEST feeling in the world! Thank you mom for all you do for me and my family :)
Finally, I am so so so thankful for Kinsey and all the fun she has brought to my life! I dont know where I would be or what I would be doing without her. I am so lucky I get to spend 24/7 with my angel and wouldnt trade that for the world! How many moms at the age of 21 get to stay home with their babies?? Being a mom is one of the best things i have ever experienced :)

We're Pregnant..AGAIN!!
Wow has this last few weeks been SUCH a roller coaster!! I dont even know where to start with this post but I want to remember everything so i guess i will just type and hope it makes since haha.. and for some this might be major TMI but its MY blog ;) So yes we are pregnant again, expecting our second bundle of joy :) YES this was planned.. it has taken me awhile to get pregnant due to breastfeeding Kinsey but it finally happened!! I took my first at home pregnancy test April 1st because I just had this hunch and i got 2 positive results! I couldnt decided on if i wanted to tell brandon that day because it was April fools or if i wanted to wait.. then i thought "what the heck, im telling him today!". Kinsey and I came up with a plan that when he walked in the door she would run out with the positive test.. well he didnt believe it at first and i truly dont think he believed it until our first doctors appointment haha.. well that brings me to my next topic. I scheduled the appointment 2 weeks out since Brandon is only able to go with me on Thursdays (his day off) and my OB is in surgery every other Thursday.. so I just figured i would be about 7 weeks along for my first appointment.. well things didnt go that smoothly. We talked to my doctor for a little bit and i told him some info and he even said i was 7 weeks and my due date would be December 1st.. Brandons birthday!! Then came the ultrasound.. all he could find was a yolk sac. This was a HUGE scare for me! I had a 101 things going through my mind at that time like, is "it" just not growing, am i going to have a miscarriage??, and lots of other not so good things! Dr. Alejo told me that seeing a yolk sac meant i was more than 5 weeks but less than 6 and to come back in 2 weeks. So we left with my nerves shot and worry meter sky high! I even made myself sick worrying about it so i texted my OB.. yes i have his number thank goodness, and asked if he thought it was a healthy pregnancy. He assured me that everything would be fine and to just relax.
So that two week appointment was today and I was a basket case! My wait to see him is usually less than 5 min but this time i had to wait close to 10, and to top it off i felt like i was going to puke my brains out (attractive huh?). Finally I got called back and they did my weight and all that fun stuff then we waited in the room for about 2 sec before he came in and i hurried and told him how worried i was and he said "well lets not talk and just look and see"haha he is AWESOME!! Well guys we now have a heart beat!!!! My little yolk sac has developed and I am now 7 weeks 6 days along! this was music to my ears :)))) I know im not very far long and its kinda soon to be telling people.. but im not one to keep things in very well, especially something as big as this! Im so glad i worried for nothing and that so far everything looks great! So since im only 8 weeks not much has changed with me or my body except for the fact i am VERY sick and it lasts most of the day.. I am fine when i wake up in the morning, but around 2 or 3 i start to get queasy. I never felt this way with Kinsey, so maybe this means it a boy :) any SMELL is my worst enemy!! I cant cook food without running to the bathroom at least once, and I often sit outside with Kinsey after dinner with all my windows and doors open with fans going to get any lingering smell out. Other than being very sick, peeing 20 million times a day and being exhausted.. thats about it! haha

Easter!!
I love having a little one around for more than one reason, but one of the MAJOR reasons why is because holidays mean so much more and are so much funner :) This was not Kinsey's first Easter of course, but it was the first one she actually RAN around hunting for eggs!! I know every parent always brags about how smart their child is.. blah blah.. but I am totally confident saying Kinsey is VERY VERY smart. She picks up on things that Brandon and I do and will imitate them or copy words without even a blink!! Its amazing :) She obviously hadn't hunted for eggs before and all it took was me picking up one egg and placing it in her basket for her to realize what she was supposed to be doing haha.
We were lucky enough for Brandon to get Saturday and Sunday off work (yep, thats right folks, TWO days off in a row!!). Thanks again to his co-worker Jim :) anyways.. we started our Easter celebration by getting up early and going to the Kaysville Egg Hunt! We got there and there were so many people.. i was kinda worried until i saw they had a field for each age group so Kinsey was with ages 0-3. We got there early of course to scope out all the eggs so we had to wait awhile.. but oh boy! as soon as the announcer said 1 those eggs were gone in a matter of 2 minutes lol. We found a perfect spot for Kinsey to "hunt". It was an area with a big cluster so she didnt have to move very far :) Later that day Kinsey and I made yummy Easter cup cakes. I baked and frosted and she decorated!!
Easter morning was a BLAST!! Kinsey woke up at 7AM and thats pretty early for her.. but I knew it was because she was just excited to see what the Easter bunny brought her! I jumped out of bed fast too because i was excited to watch her look for eggs haha At first she was too tired and didnt care much for looking for the eggs.. so I opened one up that happened to be some chocolate and man oh man that got her motivated to find ALL the eggs in the house! (she is just so little but still knows what to do for her chocolate fix :) We let her make a mess of the Easter grass and play with all her eggs for awhile.. that was a HUGE mess to clean up ugh!!
Next was the family parties!! Since my parents are separated I always have two parties with just my side of the family, then Brandons family does a party.. so we usually have a total of 3 parties to go to every holiday! You think it would excite me, but thats a lot of food and driving and sometimes its hard on Kinsey.. but I want to see everyone so we make it happen :) Our first stop was to Rob's sisters house, Debbie. My mom and Rob got Kinsey a life size teddy bear!!! That thing is as big as me lol she loves it and is always trying to feed it or give it kisses. Next we were off to my Grandma's house to do another egg hunt. It was important to make it to this one because Kinsey LOVES her cousin Kamryn, who is almost 5!!. So she got to look for more eggs with Kam and get more goodies :) Then we headed to Brandon's parents house where we ate again and did another egg hunt with those cousins.
All in all I would say we had a FANTASTIC Easter!! Kinsey had such a great day and seemed to love every minute of it :)

Our nightly routine
Let me just start by informing all of you that Kinsey is SPOILED. lol she gets a bath almost every night and has had a lotion massage every night since the day we brought her home! I guess that just shows we love our little "bean". Our routine goes as follows:
*she eats dinner and makes a huge mess ( i let her have fun at dinner because i will just be getting her in the bath soon anyways haha)
*we head to the bathroom where she watches me start her bath WITH the bubbles and all.
*then we get undressed and get a towel and wash cloth out of the closet and she HAS to carry the wash cloth and throw it into the tub haha
*she then takes a bath for about 15-20 min until her fingers look like old lady fingers
*after she gets out of the bath i wrap the towel around her and she walks to her room like a big girl
*now comes the pampering... she gets a FULL body massage!
*after we get dressed in our PJ's i allow her to play in her room and she usually wants to read books, drink her milk and just hang out until she grabs her binkie and lets me know she is ready for bed!
I love her so dang much and have so much fun with her everyday and night! It is rough when Brandon is away at work ALL the time but I am starting to realize that he is doing it for this family and so I dont have to work.. so I just enjoy every minute with just my girl and I :)

Meet LEO
I finally convinced Brandon to let me get a dog!!!!!! I thought this day would never come ;) My mom found the add in the paper and I called the breeder right away. I scheduled a time to go look at the fluff balls on Brandon's day off so he could see how cute they were and hopefully fall in LOVE! Well long story short, he did fall in love and so did both Kinsey and I. It was so hard to choose since there were only 4 males left and they were all so dang cute. I didn't want the biggest one, or the smallest one, so we got the medium sized one that seemed to be the most cuddly :)
His name is Leo. We sometimes call him Leo Man and Kinsey calls him EEE-O. He is a Bichon-Frise, and that is kinda like a poodle except they have longer tails. When he is full grown he will be anywhere from 10-12 lbs. He is hypoallergenic and DOESN'T shed! He loves to be around people and other dogs and cuddle up next to any body part of you he can find and sleep haha We had a rough few nights with him since he obviously missed his mommy and brothers, so he cried at night all night! Now we are just working on teaching him to not bark while in his kennel. I start puppy training classes next week so that should help us out a TON! He is so good with Kinsey! She is still learning to be soft with him and that its NOT ok to pick him up by his tail lol He has never once barked, or snipped at her though :) Those two are going to be good friends!
