Our Family Picture

Drawing pictures of our family is something Makena loves to do. She wants to account for everyone and make everyone feel special. Like how she tells Mitch, me and now Brinlee that we are her best friends ever. Telling mitch he is handsome, and me that I'm beautiful. She is the sweetest girl. We drew this together.I love the one that I drew of Mitch. Becuase he is exercising everyday now. Which I will be posting a before and after of him when the 16 week program is up. Keep posted.
Notice her drawing of the potty and sink. Two big things with potty training. And speaking of which..no accidents for almost a month!!! WAHOO!

Swimming

For Fathers Day we got a membership to the pool. Thanks Grandma!! We all love to go swimming. And we all know living in the midwest with the humidity it is hot. So we packed up and went swimming. We had a great time. Makena loves it. And Brinlee was a little nervous, but mommy was there for encouragement. And Grandma made everything fun. The funny part about the picture with Kena playing in the sand. She wouldn't sit in the sand, she insisted on having a towel to sit on. My little pris. lol

Welcome Home

Today is really exciting for me. My dearest friend Shane Tabrizi is coming home from his mission. I can't believe that it has been 2 years already. Crazy to think in that time frame everything that has happened. I remember when I first met Shane when I was working at Jordan Commons. Wow flash back. Anyways...he is a great guy. Welcome home Shane.

What's new??

Well I haven't posted in a while. I just got burned out I think. New things with me.....we went to a wedding of our friend, and Brinlee turned 7 months. Not much really.

I Goggle You!

Makena trying on daddys goggles. The funniest thing I have seen in a long time. lol

Gardening with Grandma

Makena and Dana gardening. But it turned into a pool party. lol

Potty Power

So as alot of you know by now we have been potty training for about 6 months now. And wow we have had our ups and downs. Well we are on a new high. We found a video called "Potty Power" at the library. Makena LOVES to watch it. Kids her age using the potty. And the new cool thing is this puppet that she is holding in the picture. It is "Mr. Beaver". Every time she does a #2 she gets to play and talk with him. Thanks to my hubby who can do a great beaver voice. So we have had no accidents in a while. I know that there is still going to be some, but I feel they are going to be more few and far between than before.
I'm so proud of Makena. Thank you to everyone that is telling her that they are so proud of her as well. She talks about how Grandma Karen and Dana will be proud of her all the time. Thanks again.

Boxes of Enjoyment

Oh the simple pleasures of children. The girls really enjoyed themselves.

Piano

The other day Brinlee was fussy. So I saw the piano in the corner and remembered how much Makena loved it. So I put her in front of it and she loved it aswell. So cute.
