Pictures

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

 Anybody else missng their summer tans, I look so white.

Best buds, Makenna wouldn't look at me for anything.  She loves Carson.

Makenna at 4 months

Ok hold on to your hats.....this girl is tipping the scales at 19 lbs at 4 months. Luckily she is also over 27 inches long. There is not much about her that is little. She is getting to be more aware and cries when she notices you leave the room. Her smile lights up the room and she is starting to giggle. I can't get over her rolls, I don't think her thighs can handle much more. She is wearing 9 months pants and 6-9 months shirts. She is such a sweetheart. Makenna is sleeping through the night and is loving her hands. This girl is spoiled to say the the least. She won't take a bottle or a pacifier.   I had my sister's wedding and so Jason's mom kept the kids. We were gone for 5 hours and Makenna wouldn't eat. She gags on the bottle and the pacifier. She loves to suck on her fists though. Thankfully she nurses well, obviously. Everyone tells me that if she gets hungry enough she will take a bottle, it is just scary to think of how long she could go. So currently I can't leave her for more than 4 hours, good thing I quit my job :) I love this stage where they discover new things everyday and she loves looking at lights on the Christmas tree.

 

Carson's 3rd Birthday

Three years surely has gone by fast.  Carson has grown so much this last year, I am sure not being the youngest has something to do with it, but I wish time would slow down. He loves Captain America so that was the theme.  I learned that I can not free hand stars with frosting. We love you Carson and are so grateful to be your parents.  You always bring a smile to those you meet and you are mom's little buddy.  I can't believe you will be going into Sunbeams in a few weeks, bless those teachers. You  sure keep us on our toes and can be quite the spit fire, but we love you. I keep telling myself that your personality is such, because you know you are the middle child. None the less, you have the best giggle, your siblings love you, and your sweetness is contagious.

 My toothless Cooper....and my not so happy Carson.  My boys hate getting there pictures taken.  Even though the smiles may not be the best I stilled loved how they turned out.  This really is their personalities right now and that is what is captured

 I loved how the boys are just taking her in....Carson still deciding if he likes her.

Little miss getting so big....I hate how fast they grow up.

Halloween 2012

We had a great Halloween this year.  I like when the kids can go trick or treating and not freeze to death.  This year we had a ninja, a cowboy, and a ladybug.

 

 Our chubby little ladybug....don't ya just want to kiss those cheeks.

Makenna's Blessing

I dreamed about this day ever since I found out we were expecting.  I dreamed (stressed) about how the day would go.  The day was perfect.  The dress was perfect, the blessing was perfect, the weather was perfect, and we have the most perfect baby girl.  She did great.  She started getting tired when we were taking pictures, note to self, do those first, but she made it through.  I told Jason to hold on to her, man those dresses are slippery.  Thanks to all those who came and supported us and helped make the day perfect. 

 

 

This is the best picture I have with my parents and Makenna.  They were to worried about looking at her than at the camera.

 

I so loved her dress.  I dressed her up a couple days before making sure everything fit and I brought her downstairs to take a few pictures and Carson said mom, Makenna is a princess.  Those brothers sure love her.
