Working with Dad

Well not much has happened these past few weeks or days which ever you want. Quinn had a doctor's appt. today and everything is great! He can start walking on his foot! He is really excited. He is having difficulties not walking with the crutches since he has been on them for a while.
Last night Quinn FINALLY put together his fancy new grill we had been saving for. (We have had this grill for months) We got a great deal on it, thanks Target clearance!! But Kelsey was really excited to help him with it, as you can see in the video is is working hard on the wheels.


You can kind of see in the video she is actually twisting her wrist like she is tightening and loosening the screws. That's my girl.


Once the grill was put together Dada's shoes needed to be fixed.

Random Video

I can't remember how long ago this video was taken, but I think it might have been when I was cleaning Kelsey's room. I was changing the crib sheets, but kelsey loves to play on the mattress. This was the result.

Get up and DANCE!

This video is a little dark and a little messy. But Kelsey has started to dance! It is pretty cute. The reason this video is pretty messy, because Quinn's ankle is up on a chair with blankets and pillows. And the computer, we are getting rid of it, I just wanted Quinn to clear everything off of it. I think laundry is on the table.... I am not sure though.

Quinn is doing good. He is off of his ankle for another 4 weeks and then another 4 to 6 weeks he will be using a walking cast boot thing.

Jasmene, me preggo sister, is having her baby on Friday. She was supposed to have her baby yesterday, but the baby's' lungs weren't developed quite as much as the doctor liked. So Friday is the big day!

I know this post is a little random, but it had just been too long since I have updated, but not much has been going on so, there you go!

Quinn's Ankle Update

Quinn had a doctor's appt yesterday and they wanted to take more X-rays and while waiting outside Kelsey was so cute and excited to sit in her own chair.

Here is a picture of the stitches. I think they are pretty intense, but I have never really seen stitches so much. There is only 4, yeah, pretty nasty.
This is after the stitches were taken out. He still has a pretty nasty bruise there, but it is healing. He is only in a walking cast, but still no weight for another 4 weeks.
Kelsey makes all the nurses day at the office. There were coming from different offices just to see her, and I didn't even put her hair in pigtails!!

Quinn's Ankle Fiasco

As many of you know we moved, not to Arizona, but just another apartment here in Colorado. Well two days before we were to move Quinn was running out of the bank (no robbing involved)and stepped on a curb wrong thus resulting in this:

His left ankle became very swollen and huge and everything else! Our doctor's office was closed and the emergency room is just too expensive.... so we waited til morning thus resulting in this:

After an appointment with the weirdest doctor ever, we found out that Quinn cracked his medial malleolus of the tibia, or his ankle bone (the part that sticks out). He was put in a "soft cast" and was not supposed to put ANY weight on it thus resulting in this:

That meant no "real", "out-in-the-dirt" work, just office junk. Anyway, the next week we had an appointment with the orthopedic surgeon, thus resulting in this:


This is what Quinn's foot looked like after they took off the "soft cast". It was pretty nasty. Although it didn't hurt him very much. The doctors were very surprised. That's my man! Anyway, so we see the doctor, thus resulting in this:
Quinn is doing fine, WE are very much looking forward to the next doc appt. in a few days so Quinn can get back to work and Ashley can get Quinn out of the house. Meanwhile, I am left to do this:
Which actually the unpacking is pretty much done and the apartment doesn't really look like this anymore.

In no particular order...

Here is our Christmas break... we did so much and had so much fun, I don't think I could even narrow it down. But here are some pictures of just a tidbit of our vacation.

We thought Kelsey would be scared of the motorcycles, but instead she absolutely loved them! This is the new little quad my dad got for the grand kids. But the bigger kids had fun on them too. tee hee hee
This is what actually scared Kelsey. The rockets! Just watch the video....
She was really tired, that's why it scared her so bad.
Kelsey had so much fun, just zooming around.

Because we slept outside in tents, and Kelsey doesn't keep blankets on her while she is sleeping, she wore this little snow suit. We think she looks like a pink marshmallow, a polar bear, a walking stuffed animal, but whatever she was, she was cute.

Quinn after a hard day's ride. His first time on a motorcycle, I mean "two-wheeled" motorcycle.

Kelsey was everyone's favorite present. She actually was slightly scared by the noise the wrapping paper made when it was being torn. But a loud noisy motorcycle...psshh, no biggie.



Kelsey really liked her Christmas gift, from the coolest parents ever, if I do say so myself.

Shooting... manly stuff... There was lots of grunting involved.

Kelsey loved loved LOVED feeding the ducks. She tried to catch them, while they retreated into the water. If I hadn't have been there, the water would not have stopped her.

Grunt....

Just In Case You Heard....

No we are not pregnant....

We are not moving down to Arizona for a new job. We have decided that Colorado is the best place for us, at least right now in our lives. Thanks to all of the family that helped us in our decision to stay or go and we hope that the family that really wanted us to go will still like us. :)

WE LOVE YOU!

Christmas Decorating


This is pretty much the extent of my Christmas decorations. As you can see I made myself a stocking too. It is a little smaller than Quinn and Kelsey's because I ran out of felt!! Oh well... We are planning to put up our tree tonight, so everything will be complete. I will just have to keep Kelsey away from it, so it doesn't fall on her. Of course, there will be not presents under the tree because Kelsey will just tear them up, so instead they are on top of the entertainment center. Real Classy.

Christmas Stockings

I realized that Kelsey didn't have a stocking for Christmas and Quinn didn't have one that meant anything to him, so I made some today. I think I might have had a little too much fun, but that is what Christmas is all about. I think I might have to make a stocking for me, so we all have the same kind!

The First REAL Snowfall

We finally had our first real snow fall. We have had others but they melted away the same day. This I feel might stick around for a while. Quinn actually had to do his first snow removal for his job, maybe that is why I feel it is official. Kelsey just thought it was bright. I haven't taken her out in it yet. But will definitely take pictures of that!!

Valentine's Day

I didn't want to put "Thanksgiving break" because everyone else did... I did get your attention though!!
We traveled everywhere.....

The week before Thanksgiving we went to Arizona with family, for a quick weekend get together. We flew back on Monday night and kind of cleaned everything from our trip, then Tuesday night we drove to Blackfoot. Yes, we are pretty crazy. It was a 10 hour drive, but luckily Kelsey slept most of the way, which was extremely nice. We spent a few days in Blackfoot with lots of Quinn's family. Ate lots of food, then drove back on Sunday. We finally got home Sunday at about 9:00. Of course, Kelsey didn't go to bed until about midnight, but it could have been worse.

Here are some pictures from our trips:


Dayna, Ben, and Davis making birthday cards for Papa's 50th birthday!! He is an old man now!

Grandma making the sweet goodness for Thanksgiving dessert. Mmm... I want more.... drool....

Kelsey liked playing with the clay pigeon thrower things... If she could, she would have eaten all the empty bullet shells.

Kelsey loved playing with all of her cousins, even though they are a few years older than her.

Grandpa Ellis cutting the other sweet goodness, some Turkey.

Kelsey loved playing the piano, just creating more noise in an already loud household.

What do you think?

I saw this on my friends blog and thought it would be fun to see how accurate this is.
What do you think?
This is what our little boy should look like. And NO I am not pregnant! Give me a break Kelsey is not a year yet!

what time is it?

It's funny how time just seems to take out your feet when your not paying attention. There really hasn't been much to going on in our lives. Quinn is working, Kelsey is growing, and I am trying to sit back and enjoy the view. But as you can see time as slipped by me and it has been a while since I last posted. We seem to have alot of things going on in the next few months so I will keep you updated, hopefully a little better. ;)
