Every year the city of Forest Grove put on a lights parade down mainstreet. It was a lot of fun to see kinley looking at all the lights and people as they walked by. She wasn't as enthusiastic about it as I thought she would have been (I think because it was really cold). But she sat there quiet as could be in awe of everything :)! It was a good sized parade too, that lasted about a half hour! We love living in this fun little town!!!
I can't believe my little girl is 1...it is going by way way way to fast! I had a friend in the ward do Kinleys One Year photos along with a couple family photos as well, and they turned out great!!! (Thanks Kaylea) I feel so lucky to have such a fun cute little girl...she makes me smile everyday and is learning something new all the time! Recently she has learned to wave goodbye, give high fives, point to my nose, and loves to read books (especially the ones with puppies and teddy bears). I think my favorite thing in the world though is when she hears even a little bit of a song or beat and starts dancing! She can't stand to hear a song and not dance, I love it! She is definetely our entertainment and we can't get enough! We love you kinley bug!

We decided that this year we would host Thanksgiving at our house with some of our friends that were still in town for the festivities! We had more food than you could imagine, and great company! I won't lie I was a little nervous about making the turkey (It was my first time), but I think it turned out pretty good. and Eric did an amazing job carving it! This thanksgiving is definetely one that we will remember and made me extremely greatful for so many things in my life! I'm greatful for my wonderful family, The gospel, my trials, and more. But to add to the list I felt so incredibly blessed to have such a great group of friends that we could spend Thanksgiving with! Thanks for all those that could make it, we had a blast!

Kinley and Grandpa
Kinley was a kitty cat or leopard whichever you prefer for halloween..We went trick or treating with brooke and brent and the kids around the neighborhood and they had a blast!
We had such a blast while we were there in Missouri...I know this post is way late,but I have been so busy since I got home..not to mention I left the camera in missouri so mom had to mail it back to me (Thanks again mom). I was there for Whitneys (my best friend from high school) wedding. It was definetely different than a temple wedding, but it turned out really nice! We were able to stay in Missouri for 1o days and enjoy the company of our family.. Brents family was there until they could move into their house in Oklahoma and Brians family came down one weekend. We had a blast spending time with everyone and can't wait to see you guys again!
