Kingston is NINE months old! I can't believe that he has been here as long as he was in my stomach! He weighed in @ 19.5 lbs at his last appointment and is a healthy, happy kid. He is cruising ALL over, pulls himself up, loves eating big people food and is FINALLY (fingers crossed) consistently sleeping through the night. He has two teeth and loves Ritz crackers and cheese like his daddy. Everyone always comments on how "happy" and "mellow" he is and we have to agree. He is so pleasant and the sweetest little boy. Just boggles my mind that we are approaching one year since he joined our family.
In other news, my sweet sister-in-law Marsha, invited me to go with her to the City Creek Press opener. While we were waiting outside of Tiffany's, security told us we needed to watch for the golf cart that was like a mile away, coming toward us. I could see a bunch of "old dudes" as I so lovingly called them and wondered why we were being so careful. As they turned the corner, I couldn't mistake Elder Uchtdorf (or the "Silver Fox") and Pres. Eyring & then Pres. Monson. Now, I have lived in Utah my WHOLE life and have only seen these men from the pulpit of the conference center. It was awesome! Such cute men just out for a stroll to see the beautiful mall they are building. It really is an amazing place! So many awesome stores. Marsh and I also went into L'Occetaine and the lady hooked us up with $100 in free swag- one bottle of cologne for Mark that Brad Pitt wears. Mark's comment, "Smells like old man. But in a good way".

| This weekend, my sister in laws and mother in law, and I went up to celebrate mine and Amy's "dirty 30". Tradition serves shopping at the outlets, dinner @ the Shabu Shabu house and then a fun night chatting until 1:00 AM in Marsha's condo. Sure love these ladies! |
And here is our sweet Mckinley! This was her first real kite experience. I am not sure if she was crying because of the wind (she is deathly afraid) or that her Rapunzel kite plummeted to the earth. She is getting SO big. She loves her ponies, reading books from the library about squids and bugs, chocolate and "Guest in Boots" (Puss in Boots). She keeps life interesting and I am pretty sure I say her name 1000 times a day ("get down Mckinley. eat your dinner, Mckinley. Come here, Mckinley)- glad I picked a name we love. Still debating on pre-school this year. Still trying to learn to French braid her beautiful hair. Still pretty sure we are guessing every day on how to parent a three year old :)

Wow, he is getting big. Time flies for sure! Looks like you had a great time with your sister in-laws. And that is so cool that you saw the 1st Presidency cruising by on a golf cart, not a site you see everyday.
Sad news...the guessing on how to parent never ends! It's gonna be fun! One of these days we need a picture of the two of us out at dinner :)
Two perfect children. Love them both; especially love Mckinley with her buggy, dinosauric ways.
P.S.-Did you scream at the old dudes like I would have? Or were you able to contain yourself like I wouldn't have?
P.P.S.- Next time I want in the Williamson bunch ladies night. I could be adopted in, right?
I don't need to be adopted in...I'm pretty sure I belong at that gathering! 9 months! It seems like only yesterday I was very pregnant looking into your very tired eyes (he was 3 weeks old then) and wondering if I could handle another kid! Very cute kiddos!
And NO ONE knows how to parent a three year old.
Agreed. Parenting a 3 year-old is just one of those things you have to get through. Mr. Kingston is super cute and super big. Now we need a Ricks/Williamson ladies extravaganza. Oh, and Aish can surely be adopted in.
