Kinley Reed

On Tuesday, September 20, 2011 at 12:46 pm we welcomed a 3rd blessing into our family. Kinley Reed Fouts arrived after nearly 24 hrs of labor at a healthy 9lbs 13 oz and 20 1/4 inch long. She is such a wonderful blessing and is loved by Brenna and Jacob more than she will ever know. Her mommy and daddy are pretty fond of her too!

Brenna is 4!!!

On March 19, my first born turned 4! I can hardly believe it. Miss Brenna wanted to go bowlin balling (aka bowling) for her birthday. So Grandma Becky, Mommy and Miss Brenna went bowlin balling on her birthday, we then had Chinese for lunch and went shopping. She had a great day. On Sunday after her birthday we had a party for her at the Kearney Area Children's Museum, with a Strawberry Shortcake theme, I however have no pictures of that day! Brenna had such a wonderful time on her 4th birthday, she is already planning her party for next year!

She is so grown up! She has learned so much in the past year, it is just amazing. She can now write her name with out help, she can recognize all of her letters and tell you what sound they make. She can count to 15 all by herself and recognize numbers. She can also tell you what colors to mix together to get green, orange and purple. I am so proud of this little girl, preschool has been such a great experience for her.

Other activities she started this year were ballet and tap. She loves to dance and is excited every Friday for class. She also started Cubbies this year, its the Awana program for preschoolers. Through this she has developed a love for Jesus and an understanding that He died for our sins. I am so amazed at my little girls faith already, I just pray that it continues to grow!

Happy 2nd Birthday Jacob!

Jacob today you are 2 years old, where has the time gone? You are a loving little boy and so full of joy!
Some new things you have learned this year:

• your vocabulary has expanded so much, you talk all the time, sometimes even more clearly than Brenna.
• you know how to get out of getting in trouble with you Mommy, you just give me a look and I can't help but laugh at your silliness.
• you love your sister and have even made up your own name for her "Chuna", we have no idea what it means, but you refuse to call her Brenna.
• you love to sing "Jesus Loves Me" with your Mommy.
• you love to "fly" with Grandpa.
• you wear size 5 diapers and 2t clothing some 3t.

You have brought so much joy to our lives in the past 2 years, we can't wait to see how you will grow and change in the years to come.
