New outfits

Mom and I just got done smocking new outfits for the girls and they may be my favorite to date. I started Kelvey's and finished but I was struggling too get Kinley's done in time for her to wear it this winter. So I gave Mom to finish and we love them. They look so cute. Mom also just done done smocking dresses for them but I forgot to take a picture of them so I sweet too. I get several comments on why I dress the girls in matching outfits all the time but it is just fun and really cute. Lewis said " They aren't twins." What does he know. I also get a lot of compliments on how I dress them so leave me alone. I am just do lucky to have a talented to mom who is willing to put up with my demands and try anything. Thanks Mom we love you!

Ok maybe i need a standing up picture I will try to take one of those as well

back view the best I could get

Kinley was not very happy with this

Circus

We got to go to the circus this year! I wanted to go last year but thought Kelvey was a little young to sit through a two hour or more show but this year was perfect. She had a great time with her cousins, grandparents and Mommy and Daddy. Kinley stayed with Sissy, Emma Kate and Dee Dee. Maybe she will go next year.

Finally Christmas with Dad

We finally we all healthy enough to have Christmas with dad and Teri last weekend. We had a great time eating and being together and Kelvey was so excited to see more presents. Like she needed anything else now to find a place for it all.

First Mother's Day Out

Kelvey had her first day of Mother's day out yesterday. I was a little nervous but she did great. She cried for about five minutes and then was playing and painting and having fun. Kinley and I stayed close just in case but I was able to get several errands done that I couldn't have done with her very easily. It was weird not having her with us but kind of nice just to have one child for the day. I feel a little guilty saying that but some days mom just needs a small break. I think this is something she and I will both enjoy once we get use to it. She made the best painting I ever saw from a two year old(haha) and she was so proud of it! Kelvey is a very shy little girl so I couldn't help but worry and think about her all day. But now I know she can do it and have fun. I am so proud of her! I just hate that she is growing up before my eyes. Sometimes I wish I could slow time down. I didn't get many pictures taken because we were running late, so I thought, but I think next week we don't have to rush so much. Enjoy!

Trip to Grana and Pop's

Last weekend Michele and I drove up to Knoxville to spend the weekend with Mom and Troy. I got my hair done and the girls played with Aunt Michele and Pop. I didn't get many pictures but as you can tell Pop is pretty fun to play with.

They made a fort and she love it

7 months

Kinley is 7 months old today and getting so big! These last two weeks have been really rough but we are starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel. We took both girls to the doctor yesterday and poor Kinley has RSV and is on breathing treatments and antibiotic. Kelvey has pneumonia. That's right I knew something was wrong with both of them and I trusted my mommy instinct. I can tell Kelvey is doing better but as for Kinley the doctor said she will get worse before she gets better. But in a few days she should be turning around also.
Kinley is really starting to get everywhere. She is now rolling all over the floor. She can sit up some by herself but rather roll around to get to all the toys. When she gets stuck somewhere she will let you know about by screaming. Kinley is turning into a good sleeper at night. Since she has been sick she wakes up pretty early to eat but then goes back down for a couple more hours. Naps are getting better and longer especially since she has not been feeling well so I hope that sticks when she is better. Maybe I can get some things done while she naps. She love to laugh at Kelvey and when Kelvely is feeling better she will be all about making her laugh. They are so sweet to watch them interact with one other. Baby food is going slow with our sickness so we hope to push it more this week. Other than that we have been doing nothing but trying to get our sweet girls better. We have done a lot of laying around and cuddling lately.
We hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
