More Random Updates

Makenna said the other day, “Mom, why don’t you take pictures of us anymore?!?”  Well, it’s cause Mom, quite frankly, doesn’t feel like it! : ) I barely feel well enough to do things with them, so pictures aren’t necessarily first on my to do list! But here are the few we’ve taken since last update:

One day we met some friends from the ward at a local farm (the same farm we went to last year for Makenna’s Preschool field trip). We quickly saw the animals and then the kids spent the majority of their time playing on some old tractors.

Makenna cracks herself up. She pulled some leaves and put it on her chin and said she had a beard. She and Max thought this was HILARIOUS! I think they are pretty goofy! ; )

With the school year starting back up, Makenna is thrilled to also be starting back to dance class. This girl LOVES her dance and was literally counting down the days until she could start back!

I am now an aunt again! My sister just had her second baby last week. He is a cutie pie little boy and they named him Kayson Joel. We can’t wait until we can go visit Alabama and see this little guy!

The weather is quickly turning chilly here in Michigan! Unfortunately our kids outgrew ALL their cold weather clothes from last year (okay, to be honest Makenna still had a pair of pants that fit and Max had two pairs of pants and a sweatshirt… but doesn’t that just prove they don’t have any clothes?!?). We went to the outlets to try to find some clothes for the kids. Things were crazy expensive so we only picked up a few things and are making do with them. Makenna tried on a pair of PJ pants we bought her. They are HUGE on her and she made us laugh when she tried them on.

Oh funny, funny girl!

School is going well I think. Max is starting to do a little better. He really likes counting. : ) Makenna is a little sponge and quickly picks up everything I attempt to teach her. Last week we tried reading simple sentences for the first time. She did so great I had to video tape her!

Reading

My mom says I do not post enough videos of Max. So when I saw him practicing t-ball the other day I took a couple of videos of him. He LOVES playing t-ball. He spends hours putting the ball on the tee, hitting it, running to get it, and then starting all over again. The video is pretty short so I will post two of them. I think it shows how hard he can hit!

And that’s that!

I would way rather be on bed rest then as sick as you have been!!! Especially sense labs came in and bp has decreased and stayed on high end of normal last 2 weeks. I can start slowing adding more activity as long as Dave keeps tabs on my bp! YIPPEE!!! BUt we are praying for you and your sanity.
