Ryan has discovered frosting...
38 still doesn't seem that old, if you ask me!
This kid is going to be the spitting image of his Daddy when he grows up!
Birthday crew at the park. Note my ninja mama skills getting the stick out of everyones' faces right as the picture was taken lol
SO much waiting this month :(
This kid! So many unnecessary baths for this one.
Waiting an extra 10 days for Kinsley to come also came with a requirement to continue to go to work each of those 10 days :(
I was super thankful that Ryan was so okay with just sitting around snuggling much of the time.
Daycare camp out for the big kids meant a weekend with just Ryan for Mama and Daddy. We opted to go to Mankato for the day!
I love watching my babies with their Daddy!
Wrangling Ryan these days is like herding cats.
Daycare Campout was exhausting!
With the extra waiting for baby, I ended up having to have a couple NSTs.
And just like that...she was here: Ten days late, but fast and furious when the time came!
I think hospital food only gets a bad rap because it isn't from our hospital. Man, was this good!
Our first family picture as a family of six! Pretty sure we'll be lucky to get even 3 of them looking at the same time from here on out.
This pretty well sums up our first night together. Oy!
Love this workhorse of a man :)
A fluffy little baby burrito!
This was pretty much the first entire month with Kinsley. Ryan and Kinsley had lots of Mama snuggles in the recliner in the nursery.
Complements of Bronchitis for Mr. Kendrick. I am not entirely sure where they plan to have me store all this medication.
The saddest face you ever did see :(
Our first walk!
I can't recall what he told me it was, but he made it just for me, so it hangs in our bedroom above my side of the bed ;)
Sweet, sweet, sweet baby girl!
One of our absolute favorite places to go walking with the family.
We're gonna need to get a selfie stick.
He said he needed to put stickers all over his face to attract the frogs...
These kiddos LOVE their cousins! It was special to have them come up for a visit to meet Kinsley!
Six.and.a.half.hours.of.newborn.photos. Kinsley took it better than Mama, I think lol They turned out AWESOME, though!
These two LOVE the county fair!
Ryan got to go on his first ride ever! He wasn't super impressed.
A fair staple! That, and corndogs.
I was NOT prepared for this one to be ready and willing to tackle the rides by himself!
This kid is a farmer at heart.
The cure for postpartum sleepiness.
If you need an expert husker, this would be your dude. He got the silk off better than I did!
If you need a taste-tester, however...THIS is your dude.
And if you need an expert helper to get the corn off the husk, THIS would be your dude ;)
My heart just explodes ;)
This is how we make it work with 4 kiddos ;)
Our first (and probably only) family trip to Kilen Woods involved lots of wet ground and little boys who weren't the best listeners.
He's starting to be one of the "big kids", and it's breaking my heart a little at a time :(
These boys just adore their baby sister!
SUPER duper peely skin for this lady.
I will cherish this photo forever :) My sweet Mama isn't having the best year, and is now living in a care center. It's hard for all of us, but it was time. I love her so!
Bath time fun!
My sweet co-workers put together this little baby shower for us. It was so sweet :)
Daddy and his little princess!
We had one heck of a rough few days around week 3. Growth spurt time, and there was not enough milk in the world!
Kendrick's only request for his birthday was that it have tractors on it. Well...Mark accidentally took the cake out a tinge early, so it looks like the combine and wagon in it got eaten alive haha
Celebration #1
Cashel's first Caribou experience. He was a fan!
Back to school shopping with this kid was an emotional roller coaster. This was before it all went downhill over an elephant game...
This was what I had to deal with during Kendrick's 4 year old pics lol
Preschool orientation for my big kid!
He does still love his Mama...most of the time ;)
My sweet hubby makes me breakfast every morning...before watching The Blind Side at least once daily. That's a story for another post, that will be coming soon enough!
How could I even have begun to imagine not needing a Kinsley in our lives?
If I ever had to have one picture represent Kendrick, this would be it. He adores tractors and is extremely passionate...and at times destructive.
Annnndddd....he's four. Excuse me while I go cry in a corner :)
Finally got around to staining the deck again!
My sweet Mama was back in the hospital again :( I wasn't so sure she was going to make it back out again, but she surprises us each day. Kinsley and I rounded out the month with another visit to see her.
