The next week I spent time with Jasmene and her family. I had such a great time. Kelsey did too. She had three great babysitters watching over her ALL the time. My job was easy!! So there is a reason to have more kids.... During my time in Mesquite, on Sunday, the wind was terrible. So bad that it blew over the trampoline! It blew into the house and bent one of the poles in the outside enclosure. When Quinn flew down Bryan and him used their combined college graduate brains to bend the pole back, here is the process:
Nope.
Nope.
Nope.
This little bench was made by Kelsey's great grandpa. She loves it! The first time we brought it home, she put it right next to the couch and climbed right up. Now that is all she does. Thanks Great Grandpa! She really loves it! He also made Kelsey and all of his other great grandchildren a marble tree.
It makes lots of noise, so this might be her new favorite toy.
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.
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 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!!
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:
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:
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....
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.
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.... 
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.
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!
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!!
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.
