Makenna's 1st Birthday!!

We had a little pool party for Makenna's 1st birthday. I can't believe how fast time flies and with your third baby it feels even faster.  My mom made this cute little tutu for the occasion and we had a polka-dot theme.  Her hair is so long on top and not so much on the sides.  Oh well, we can do some killer pig tails.  Makenna is walking all over and soon to be running.  She is trouble with a capital T. She is into everything, so much more than the boys ever were.  She is my silent observer always planning her next adventure.  She loves the cupboards, the boys toys, the garbage, and anything she shouldn't be in.  She weighs 25 lbs and is 30 in. long.  She is a great sleeper and has 12 teeth already.  This girl doesn't waste time when it comes to cutting teeth. She loves to be wherever I am and pretty much is my shadow all day.  She brings such joy into our lives and we love our little Miss Mac. 

 

 We were camping the actual day of her birthday, so we had a little celebration.  All four of us are trying to get her to blow out the candle.  What a bunch of nerds is what she was thinking I am sure.

 How she spent her afternoon, asleep on dad. No better spot!!

 She wasn't super impressed with the store bought cupcake, but that was ok with me.  Truth be told I don't like messy babies :) It is much nicer to keep them clean, although we were camping and she loved the dirt and rocks.

2nd Grade

First day of school.  Hard to believe this kid is getting so big!!! He came home so excited saying it was going to be a great year.  You are right Cooper, it is going to be a great year.  Thankful for this boys attitude and outlook on life. I asked him what his favorite thing about today was and he said lunch, leave it to Cooper to be thinking about food. Silly!!

the BREAK!!!

This happened one afternoon after a busy couple of days. I don't think I can remember the last time all 3 kids took a nap, let alone at the same time.  I almost didn't know what to do with myself. Definitely worth documenting....Cooper stills tells me he was just resting his eyes.

Fireworks

These two boys love fireworks and this mom loves that they are such good friends. Cooper and Carson thanks for being such great kids.

Last Day

Last day of first grade. The stink was so happy I was taking his picture early this morning! You had a great year buddy.  Cooper got the "punch line award" in his class, because he always has a joke to tell. His teacher thinks he is the funniest kid, wish I could get him to be more funny at home. He takes life pretty serious some time. What a fast school year. Hard to believe that you will be in second grade and getting baptized. Pulls at my heart strings every time I start thinking about it. Love ya buddy and I am so proud to say you are mine.

Yeah for Piggies!!

This girl is getting to big!!! Hard to believe nine months has already gone by.

Miss M at 5 months

Hard to believe this little girl is 5 months already.  She has started getting her two bottom teeth.  One has broke through and we are just waiting for the other any day.  She is so fun and truly a good baby. She is probably weighs over 20 pounds now, but just more to love, we love our little chubbs.

 

Christmas 2012

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  They boys were pretty excited about the 4 wheelers we got and Makenna just loved watching it all.  She also loved her giraffe, great teething toy.

Carson was super fun this year.  Being 3 years old, this was the first year he was really excited and was starting to understand the whole thing....all December he keep saying Santa says be nice or no presents.

Famous stair picture.  Makenna was the first one up, the boys just keep snoozing. So we had to wake them up....Cooper still was trying to wake up when we started taking pictures.

 

 

These pictures are way dark and it was freezing at 8:00 in the morning, but Jason wasn't about to just let them sit in the garage.  They had to have their first ride as soon as they found them.  We are excited to start creating a lot of family memories with these 4 wheelers and hopefully they will help us get outside more.

 

Pictures

We had the kids pictures done for Christmas....and yes I am posting them after the holiday.  Oh well, they turned out cute.
