Playing in the sand!

For the first time mommy let me play in the sand. We tried to build sand castles, but I quickly destroyed them all! My friend Dawson and I had so much fun playing on the beach!

Day one pics

Here are some pictures of me having fun on the beach. I really LOVED when the waves hit my feet! Boy was teh water cold though!! Here are a few family pictures too!!

Beach day 1

When I got to the beach house mommy took out my walker and let me cruise around. Dawson saw me going backwards and wanted to help me go the right way. Mommy & daddy thought it was funny, but i thought it was SOOO much fun!!

Standing Tall!

This week Daddy I kept telling daddy how strong my legs were. So on Thursday he decided to test it out... it was so much fun!!

Learning to clap

I am learning to clap my hands like my cousin Ryder. It is sooo much fun! Mommy says sorry for the bad angle again! We will work it out one of these times!

Peek-A-Boo

Here is Makenna playing her new favorite game "peek-a-boo" with daddy. It was too cute not to post. We hope you enjoy it too!! :)

Auntie Shawna

This weekend my auntie Shawna came to visit me! I was so happy to see her! We had fun swimming and playing together. I hope she comes back soon.

Swimming!!!

This weekend mommy and daddy warmed up our pool! I was so excited to get to go swimming for the first time. Here are few pictures of me getting ready, in my new float and my special floaty swim suit. I loved being in the water, splashing, kicking myself in circles and playing with the waterfalls. I hope mommy and daddy let me swim again soon!

We set up Makenna's new swing outside this weekend and boy she LOVED it!! Here are some pictures and a video... we hope you enjoy it! (Sorry that the video is sideways... I couldn't figure out how to switch it! :) )

Here I am opening my Easter basket! I can't wait for next year!

EASTER!!!

I had so much fun this easter! The Easter Bunny brought me and Ryder a bunch of new books. I was so happy! Here are a few pictures of daddy and I opening my Easter baskets, hanging out, and going on an Easter egg hunt! I had so much fun!

Boys, boys, boys

When we got back from our big group ride daddy, uncle Travis and grandpa D went out for a ride to help daddy practice for racing. Mommy has no idea what happened, but somehow daddy snapped an axle. Here are some pictures of the damage. Daddy and Kyle rode about 3 miles back hanging off the edge so that the front right side was slightly off the ground. Oh geez!!

Camping in Dove Springs

Uncle Travis got me new baby hearing production for when we go in the buggies! Aunt Andrea made sure he got me hot pink! I just love them. Here are pictures of mommy and I getting ready for our ride to the brewery, our group photo half way (mommy and I are still in the car... I was sleeping!), and our group stopped outside the brewery. On the way home I rode with grandma because grandpa's car is a little smoother than mommy's!!! Camping is funny!

8 months old!!

Our baby girl is getting bigger and bigger every day. She loves to stand, jump in her jumperoo, listen to stories and play. She now rocks on all fours and wants to roll around, but hasn't got it all figured out yet! We are having so much watching her grow! She is such a blessing.

Mommy & Daddy's anniversary

This past Tuesday it was mommy and daddy's anniversary. I took a few pictures with them before daddy took mommy on a date night. He surprised her and took her to dinner and the Phantom of the Opera! (We had so much fun!!)

Mommy's cousin is here!

This weekend mommy's cousin Julie came up to help out and play. It was her spring break too!! I was really happy to see her because this meant I had another friend to play with. Thanks cuz Julie!!!

THE EASTER BUNNY!!

Today mommy, cousin Julie and daddy took me to meet the Easter Bunny. I thought that he was just FANTASTIC!! I was laughing and having so much fun. Mommy had to pull me away. I could have played all day!!

Chickies!!!

Recently some teachers at mommy's school hatched some baby chicks. She wanted me to come and see them. Little did she know I wanted to play with them WAY more than she knew. They were so fuzzy and soft. Maybe daddy will get me a chick and a pony!! :) (P.S. It was Pajama day at mommys school!!)

Free at last

Great news! We were released from the hospital this morning! It is great to be at home. These pictures are of Makenna in our own version of a "bath tub!" She had been in the hospital so long without a bath that her eczema was out of control (you can see the red patches on her legs). We decided that she needed one, but had no way to give one to her... until we saw the pink bucket. These were too funny not to share! Enjoy!

Makenna's thoughts

We know that this is taking a lot out of makenna so we decided to ask her how she felt. We were happy to hear what she had to say! enjoy!!!
