Sorry it has been so long since I last posted, but between a little boy that still does not sleep through the night, troubles uploading to blogger, a family vacation to Southern California over Thanksgiving, and my brother and his wife visiting us, I just have not made the time :o).
So below are some updates of The McKinstrys!!!
First up during our trip to San Diego over Thanksgiving Baylor got to meet Bruce's Grandmother AKA Oma. We were so delighted to introduce her to her newest great grandchild, making Baylor her 6th! We arrived on Saturday evening and left out Monday afternoon to go to Newport Beach. While in San Diego Oma took our family, Uncle Jerry, Aunt Denise, Cousin Brent and his kids Blake and Jordan out for a Thanksgiving Breakfast that was wonderful and the kids all behaved so wonderfully! We had a wonderful time as always in California and hope to go back soon. Especially since Bruce's parents now have a place just down from Oma's condo and best of all it's FREE!!! Thanks grandma and grandpa McKinstry for letting us stay there.
All the boys with Oma, I think Brayden stole Oma's heart this time. He was such a little charmer! They had been asking for nearly a month to go visit and pray nightly for there Oma, so it was so wonderful to be with her again. We love you Oma!!!On Sunday evening we had dinner with our good friends the Denton's. We had a wonderful time and it was great to get the kids together again. The boys love their two little blue eyed beauties Julia and Jenna. Thanks for a wonderful meal Denton family!
After leaving San Diego we headed to Newport Beach and stayed at the Marriott's Newport Beach Villas for 3 additional days and headed back bright and early to Arizona on Thanksgiving morning. Surprisingly the traffic was wonderful and we arrived at home around 3pm, just in time to go over for Thanksgiving with our dear friend The Musgrave's. We had a wonderful meal and it so great to be with such great friends, they have invited us to be with them on Christmas this year. Thanks Musgrave family!!! Sorry my camera battery died just after we left San Diego, so no pictures, but trust me we had a fabulous time.
The day after Thanksgiving my brother and his wife April arrived to stay with us until Sunday morning. We had a wonderful time as it had been 8 months since we had seen them. Of course they were excited to meet their newest nephew! Maybe they will add a little girl to our family soon. We laughed and said after time with 3 wild boys, they may decide to wait a little longer:o). Danny said if he thought he would have a girl, then no problem, however he's probably thinking of all the pay backs he would get if he was blessed with a BOY!!!
One happy little boy!!!
Three cheers for Bennett
Brayden was asleep when we first arrived, but as soon as he woke up he was ready to get in on the action.
He was so funny to watch and his little ball would go so slowly down the lane. One time it even stopped and the lady there had to walk down and retrieve it :o). In this picture he was jumping up and down in excitement.
Uncle Danny and Aunt April gave Baylor his first pair of overalls. He is show here proudly wearing them, he looked so cute in them!
Baylor cooing and taking to us
The three boys just before church on Sunday morning and just before Danny and April left. We are sad to see them go, but will see you all again real soon. Daddy also got a little help from Uncle Danny installing a new sink and mommy had fun shopping with April! I also forgot we took Danny and April to see the Christmas lights at our church on Saturday night and had a great time doing that as well.

What a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday we had, we have so much to be thankful for!!!

Bennett getting ready to bowl, he has decided this is his new favorite thing to do with his Daddy, and is already planning their next adventure there.
We took the boys bowling after lunch. They have been wanting to go bowl for quite some time however every time we try to take them the leagues are there and no lanes are open. Luckily the day after Thanksgiving proved to be the perfect day and we had a wonderful time. The Musgrave family joined us as well with their two of their three boys, Quinn and Andrew. Colin was at Knottsberry Farm in California. Yes our other friends with 3 boys!!! We have lots of fun and laughs together.
One happy little boy!!!
