KIT with our family!!

So our computer is now broken and wont read any SIM cards or yea.. anything!!!! :( So no pictures to post

Kevin- is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo busy but still an amzing husband and dad! He is still working very hard and going to school!

Me- umm im still me!! lol

Now to the part that the grandparents want:

Indee- She is still super cute and growing like a weed! She is now in 6 month clothes and 9 month sleeper PJS! She is still in a size 2 diaper and probably will be for another Costco box of diapers:) So she still is pretty skinny! She has her first two teeth on the botton and I think she is getting her fangs! That should be pretty funny! She says: "uh oh", "mama", "baba", and "dada" but I dont think she knows what they mean:) She can get on all fours and rocks back and forth. Her hands will move forward but her legs dont which results in a flop onto her tummy:) She loves everyone else's toys but has a hard time sticking to hers:) One day outside she was next to a baby her age and they kept taking the toys from eachother and making eachother pretty upset. It was pretty funny. She still LOVES to read and LOVES kids. She will just see a kid and start laughing and smiling! She sleeps from 7pm til about 5-530ish am. I cant complain but would love it if she slept til 6.. at least:) lol She did have RSV/Bronchitis/ croupe all at once and has had croupe 3 times since she has been born. The dr thinks she has asthma and does have a breathing treatment for when its needing. We were soooo hoping that she wouldnt get asthma but it seems like both sides of her parents family has it pretty severe so I guess she was bound. Stinky! M aybe she'll grow outta it?!!?! She loves her bed and will cry for it! She still wont sleep in our arms! Which is bitter sweet:) But we will lay her down in her bed and she will close her eyes soooo tight before I even get a blanket over her. She loves to sleep with her face covered (scary at first- now I just remove it after a couple of minutes) and will sleep on her tummy about half the time! She doesnt cry when she wakes up... she will just talk until we come to get her!! She loves Jewelry.. especially my earrings(while they are still in my ears)! She is such a happy baby.. even when she is sick! This last time I took her to the dr she had the flu and croupe and was all giggles.. the nurse asked "Is she always this happy when she is soo sick?" the answer- "YES" but shes even more happy when shes not!! She is starting to cuddle more and will now lay her head on my shoulder which is HEAVEN!!! I absolutely love it!! :) I love being her mom!! She is the cutest and I already cant wait to have more:)

KIT with our family!!

Kevin- Is now applying to Internships which is wayyyyy exciting because it is one step closer to being done with school!! He had two interviews today to REALLY great companies!! He even applied to one in NEtherlands!! WHAT?? lol... wouldnt that be fun? So he is soooooo busy with that on top of his huge school load and work! He is now on a intermural basketball which he really likes. He has never played on a league but is really good. It was funny, I couldnt go to one game because Indee was soooo sick and he came home saying that one of the guys on his team kept yelling for him to do something and was even getting mad with him. Kevin didnt know what the term meant. He said that he was gunna ask the team before the next game:) He makes me smile!! He is such a great dad and makes sure that he comes home for family and couple scripture and prayer before Indee goes down for bed and then gets right back to school for another few hours! He truly is amazing and I am sooo grateful for a husband who keeps Heavenly Father and his family his main priorities!

Missa- I have been on an organizing craze! I have gone through and reorganized everything! I kept accumulating more crafts and such so I needed to better organize them! I hate having clutter or mess so it is nice to have that stuff out of the way! beyond that I am not doing much- I clean and do crafts in my spare time. but I try to give Indee alot of attention so that we can play and have fun together!!

Indee- She is now going to the gym day care while I work out!! It has been amazing!!! I can take her 2 hours a day, except for sunday. I drop her off and go workout! I love it because I am right there. I can check in on her when I want and if she is fussy they will find me- Which I really like because then i dont have to worry about if she is having a hard time in there! Some days i will just take her and stretch a little bit. Its really nice to just have some me time sometimes even though She and Kevin are always on my mind:)

I love Indee!

Indee gave us a scare!! She got sick for the first time! She went to bed perfectly healthy and then woke up struggling to breath but not caughing at all! We rushed her to the ER and they rushed her right back (mostly cause there was a crying mother- Me!). The dr came in and diagnosed her with croupe. They gave her steroids and sent her home:) But the next few days she had a HIGH fever of 103 with tylenol! So we brought her back to the drs and they said she just had a viral infection with a bad sore throat!! She couldnt sleep- One night Kevin stayed up the whole night with her (Kevin gladly volunteers because I dont do very well on no sleep- He is amazing). We also had to force feed her with a syringe! that was not fun and sooooooo sad!! She would cough and then cry because it hurt her so bad- she would just look at me like i was causing the pain.. I cried lots for her!! It was the saddest thing!!! I am tearing up just thinking about what it was like!!

Indee really has helped me to realize the love that our Father in heaven has for each one of us and especially His love for me! There is nothing that indee could ever do to make it so that I wouldn't love her. As she learns and grows I love her more and more! And our Father in Heaven's love is greater than ours!! HE must REALLY love us!! So remember that you are a daughter (or son) of God and that there is nothing that you can do to make it so that our Father in Heaven wouldnt love you! He does and always will!!

Indee is 6 months!!!

Indee is 6 months and has been for the past couple of weeks!! She is sooooooooooo fun!!! She talks all of the time and has the cutest smile!! When she smiles she scrintches up her nose and pushes her gums together!! I love it!! My favorite that she has been doing is putting her cheek next to mine and her hand on my other cheek!! It melts my heart every time! She has soooooo much personality! She loves playing pick a boo and laughs if you can give her a good "boo." The more she jumps, the bigger the laugh! Her daddy works hard at school but when he gets home she is all smiles. She loves her daddy sooo much!!

One thing thats not so fun but kinda funny- She will not swallow anything that she doesnt like. We gave her some food and she gagged until she threw up so that she wouldnt have to swallow it! Oh man!! We already have a picky eater on our hands!

At 5 months and 26 days Indee weighs 14.9 lbs (31%), is 26.5 inches (80%), and her head is 16.75 inches (56.07). She now sits up really well, eats cereal/meats/fruits/vegies/ and rice puffs, talks/grunts, takes a few steps while holding onto fingers, can feed herself rice puffs (but still is working on perfecting it), eats her toes,has found her right earring, cries for her crib and closes her eyes before the blanket is even over her, is between a size 1-2 diaper, is a size 3-6 months in clothes but 6 mos in pjs and probably 12 months in socks :) She doesnt like fruits (or anything sweet) very much but I have gotten her to eat applesauce mixed with cereal. She loves to open and close her gums pushing them together and pulling them apart! She loves the mirror and when she is cranky I can turn on primary songs and she will calm down. She loves reading The book of mormon stories (She will sit there for 15 minutes just listening and not trying to grab the pages or anything!) She also likes to hear me read her the Book of Mormon while she plays in the bath. Seriously.. can she be any more perfect!! Every day we love her even more and we are continually grateful to our Father in Heaven for knowing us soooo well that he would choose us to send her to! He knew that we needed her to help us to be more like Him!

Indee's First...

So we went to the dr.s because Indee had a broken blood vessel in her eyeball. I had the dr look at one of her earrings that looked infected. He said that she was allergic to the gold plated earrings and needed real gold earrings. I asked him where we should get them? and he said a jewelry store. So we went to the mall and jewelry sales people were bringing out lilke 5th carat diamonds and I told them no way!! My daughter is not having nicer earrings then I have ever had! lol.. so we went to Zales and they had gold earrings. But I think that its soo funny that we had to go to Zales to get her something:)

Can you Flambé meat? We can!!

So I was giving indee a bath and Kevin was getting the dinner together when the fire alarm went off. So I didnt think much of it and got Indee dressed. When I came out I asked what had happened and then looked at the oven. This is what I saw...

lol.. He said that he put pulled out the meat and there were high flames so he threw it back into the oven. If it didnt go out then he was gunna get the fire extinguisher.. haha

now when he cookes I ask if we are gunna have flambéd meat... He doesnt think thats as funny as I do:)

Indee's room

So we came back from staying in nice- real houses the whole vacation and I was kinda bummed to be back in our cinder block wall apt. I asked Kevin if we could move and then right after I said" well maybe Ill just decorate" So he told me to try that first:)

Im proud of how it turned out. I mean its hard to decorate our cinderblock palace but with what I had to work with, I like it. Everything was centered around a blanket that my sister n law, Char, made.

Christmas break

For Christmas break we went to CAlifornia to visit family! But we had sooo much fun that we forgot to take pictures

Kevin rode Ryan's Harley! He loved it! We have this thing where I wont let him get a bike unless he has a full head helmet but he just wants a nutshell helmet. So after spending time on the comp with the guys, looking at pictures of bikes he comes to me and says in the sweetest voice "Do you care if I ride Ryan's bike?" and then holds up the helmet.. lol Needless to say that he totally loved it and cant wait for the day that we can afford a harley!
These pictures are the funniest!! :)

Can you find Jonathan? He ducked down in the very front and Danieele tried to cover him so that he wouldnt get very wet:)

Kevin got to help in making these bones and skulls. His familie's company made them:)They are on Tom Sawyer's Island at Disneyland:)

Indee's First...

Indee's first time swimming. We went up to park City to spend time with Kevin's family and their hotel had a pool. So we took Indee. She loved it and was instantly relaxed when she touched the water!!
Indee's first time at the beach (Huntington Beach) Indee's first time at Disneyland and she loved it.. She loved the crowds of people and all of the colors:) Indee's first plane ride... lol.. bur it was 4am- we both are very tired~:) Indee on the plane!! She did so well. She slept to California and on the way back Indee's first Christmas. She got books:) but loved the wrapping most:) Indee's first time sitting for an extended time:)She has been doing this for a couple of months:) We didnt get a picture of Indee but this was the first time that Indee went to work at Monarch with her dad!:)

Some crafts!!!

So I homemade just about everything for Christmas

Here are a few...

A Family night chalk board plaque..

A calender for the grandparents of Indee's handprints! I will never suggest that anyone do this with a small baby.. she was not cooperative and for every one good handprint we literally had to do 50. But I love how it turned out:)

Crocheted headbands/earwarmers and hats with flowers...

A on the go car mat. There are spots where you can stick cars..



We also did candy apples, marshmellow guns and yea... It was soooo much work and unfortunatley because of all the work I think this next Christmas will all be store bought presents:)

Kev's project

Kevin had to do a group project for one of his classes. I dont know what they had to be figuring out but they decided to do a potato gun. He made the gun and they all got together to do the project. It was really fun to watch. They used hairspray as the accelerant and I was way surprised how well it worked!! It was really fun! One of the potatos stayed in the air for over 9 seconds! Thats how high up they got it!!!

My 24th Birthday

So KEvin took me to Texas Road house for an early Birthday dinner last Saturday and This is what they make you do for your Birthday. What was I gunna say? "No"? yea not soo much. When they said "yee-haw" I had to wave the napkin in the air!!! And then they yell across the resturant that its my birthday and they say how old I am! This resturaunt instantly became Kev's fave and my most hated... but the food is really good:)

Turkey Break cont...

So we got Indee's ears peirced and I was having anxiety! I really wanted them peirced but Kevin wasnt too thrilled. He said that if I wanted to inflect unnecessary pain on Indee then I had to be the one holding her! Ive never held her for shots because its just too hard so I was soooo afraid!

This is what Indee looked like when we walked into the store!

Drawing dots on the ears and Indee having no idea what was ahead of her!

Ready... Set...

And they did it. She was not happy

So I was comforting her!!! And Yes the passy came back! There was noooo way that I was going to do this without letting her have the passy!

But literally 30 seconds later this is what she looked like...

Next it was her cousin, Addi's, turn and she wasnt soo cooperative. Maybe she saw Indee go first and knew something bad was gunna happen!

She was moving alot so her uncle Kevin came and switched spots with her mom

Addi after with her sooo cute-new earrings...

Turkey Break!

So we had a lot of fun over our Thanksgiving break!!! First and foremost it was sooooo fun to have Kevin home from work and school! We loved playing with him!!!

Here are a few things we did ove rour break...

Indee didnt have a pair of skinny jeans so of course I had to make her some:)

Daddy was trying to get a picture of her looking sad with this toy on her head but she loved it!!

Indee having fun in her toy! She loves it!


So Kevin's sister, her kids, brother and mom came up to visit. It was soooo much fun!
I was trying to get a picture of Jonathan and Braden together but they just kept moving. We probably took 20! but after a couple pictures Braden says "Hurry, my arms are hurting." We all started to laugh and told him that he didnt have to hace his arms up for the pictures. He looked sooo surprised and releived. HAHA. He had the biggest smiles for the rest of the pictures.

Indee opening her 1st present..

Indee being held by her cousin, Gavin. I kept trying to get him to smile but he wouldnt. When i would turn away he was smiling and laughing it up with Indee!

Brianne wanted her hair like a princess. We took a picture of it because she had to go to bed and she knew it would get messed up

not enough?

So I didnt think Kevin had enough shaving cream on, so I helped him:)

Indee's 4 mos stats

At 3 mos and 24 days Indee now weighs 12.3 pounds (27th percentile), 25 inches long (82%), and her head circumference is 16.2 inches (60%).

She did sooooo well at her shots... Kevin was able to leave his class early and come with me! So he held her during the shots! The first one she didnt even move, but the second and third she started to cry. As soon as we put her passy in she just wimpered. I thought that she would be tired and out of it after because thats what happened with her last shots bu this time it seemed like she was more awake than ever. Her length of naps in total was 1.5 hours. Thats all the sleep she got during the day! But when we were feeding her her dinner she fell asleep in between mouthfulls of cereal. So we cleaned her up and put her to bed at 630!!! Because she hasnt been sleeping through the night lately, the dr told us to try to take her passy away. He said just do it cold turkey!! He said to take the passy away because thats what shes been needing to fall asleep. He said just lay her down and let her cry. Then she will teach herself how to fall back asleep in the middle of the night. So right now she is crying herself to sleep. Hopefully... she def has the crying part down:(

These past four months have been long but soooo fun!! We love having her in our lives and are sooo gratefull for her smiles and health!

WE LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH INDEE!

KIT with our family!!

Indee is doing so well! She has been now rolling for about a month! But now she doesnt it like its nothing for her! At first it was a little difficult nd took alot of determination. But now she can just do it:) She can sometimes get on all fours but thats very rare! But she still has lots of time! We are working on getting her to sleep through the night again... the past couple of weeks thats been an issue! But she seems to do better if Kevin goes in there to put the binky in. If I do, then she just wants to eat! She gets her shots on Wed... I am sooo sad for her already! I have to go by myself because Kevin has a lab that he cant miss. I already have everything prepared for that day so that I can just come home and cuddle/comfort her! I tried pulling out her 3-6 mos clothes but they are still big... There are just sooo many cute outfits that I cant wait to put her in!! She is still in size one diapers! She loves being read to and loves when KEvin and I sing to her! We are starting to read and speak to her in Spanish! She is such a happy girl and we love her soooo much!

Kevin is still working soooo hard at school and work! he is working with me on my spanish (which takes alot of patience on his side:))

Me- Im just working hard on Christmas presents. Im still learning spanish and its coming along... Kevin and I were at the grocery store and we were only speaking spanish.. it turned into a big spanish lesson rather than grocery shopping.. lol

Yup! Indee now eats from a spoon. I know she is a week early of four months, but my mom started me on rice cereal at two months and I turned out just fine... Well at least I think so.. lol! She LOVES it... She hated the rice cereal in the bottle but with a spoon, she thinks its amazing! She does really well too! She doesnt spit too much out! I try giving her some water from a bottle and she hates it! So I have to syringe it into her mouth! Maybe I should try a sippy! I can't feed her fast enough!
I dont know why these are showing up side ways because they shouldnt be, but we got Indee's pictures done!! I LOVE them!!!... So my cousin hires someone to babysit her kids a few hours out of the week so that she can run errands... She was so nice to ask me to do the job before putting out an ad! It has been sooooo much fun!!! Here are her beautiful kids... They love holding Indee. They are such good cousins to her!! Indee loves playing with them! Indee's sweet face... She loves to suck these two fingers. And I think she is a lefty because she favors her left hand, but it might be too soon to tell She is doing sooo much better at holding her toys! She has been trying soooo hard to be able to hold onto things! So lately it has been kinda like this in Utah... And because of it, Indee looked like this at Daddy's game... We couldnt stop laughing when we put her in it! But at least she was warm!
