THE BEACH...

After our visit in Arizona mommy and daddy thought it would be great to go to the beach to relax. I just couldn't stop talking about playing in the ocean. Not only did I get to play in the waves, but I got to smush daddy's sand castles too. It was GREAT!! Wyatt loved sitting in the chair and watching the waves too!




The Richey Family...






My big sister has told me so many great stories about Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt Kate, Uncle John, Aunt April and Uncle Seam. I knew I was going to LOVE them. When Mommy told me that we were going to go celebrate Uncle John and Aunt Kate's engagement I was so excited. (I think that mommy and daddy were excited too! They just kept snapping pictures!) Another highlight of traveling to Arizona was meeting my cousin Gavin. He is just two and a half weeks older than me! I think that we will be great friends! I hope to go back again soon!!

Mother's Day Gifts


While we were in Arizona mommy asked daddy to work on a few Mother's Day projects with me. She had found a way to make beautiful bird baths for my grandma's and great-grandma's!! Daddy and I set to work on making beautiful bird baths. As you can see I had some great help... baby Wyatt and baby Gavin here on standby to give me advice and to help make them perfect! Thanks guys for all your help. I think they turned out GREAT!

Makenna in action



Here I am!!!!

Glass Blowing













While we were in Tucson mommy wanted to take me to make my own Christmas ornament. She found this glass blowing school that allows families to make ornaments, bowls, or vases all by themselves! I just couldn't wait to try it out. Here are pictures of us making an ornament for our tree! We were so lucky because Aunt April, Uncle Sean, and Baby Gavin came too!! I want to go back again and make more!!!

Wyatt & Easter...

Mommy, Daddy and my big sis keep telling me all about Easter and how great it is! I am feeling pretty overwhelmed! I think that it is better if I just sit on the couch and relax! I think I will be more helpful next year!

Church Egg Hunt


This year we went to church a little early so that I could go participate in the Easter Egg Hunt with my friends. I started off trying to find some treats, but quickly realized that there were TOO MANY kids looking too. Instead I decided to play on the slide and swings! It was just as much fun as finding eggs! Thanks mom and dad for taking us.

Finding the eggs...


After Wyatt and I explored our Easter Baskets it was time to go find the 16 eggs that the Easter Bunny hid for us. I put on my new slippers, grabbed my basket and was on my way! I had so much fun finding all of the eggs! Easter is so much fun!

HE CAME!!!!



The Easter Bunny came and left Wyatt and I Easter Baskets!! He even left us a note saying he was glad that I was beign a good girl. Here are some pictures of Wyatt and I with our Easter baskets. Thank you Easter Bunny!! We loved our baskets!

Preparing for the Easter Bunny!


I wanted to make sure that I left the Easter Bunny good treats so he would come back next year! Daddy and I bought some yummy carrots and jelly beans for him! Mommy even helped me write a note to him asking him to hide my eggs. I was so excited for him to come and visit! We left his treats by the back door so he could just sneak in! Now all I had to do was wait!!!
