Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Our little vacation

Shane had some business down in Las Vegas so we decided to make a little family vacation out of it. We went to St. Geaorge for a few days then down to Vegas for a night. It was fun to get away just the three of us and spend some quality time together. The weather was nice, we took a few walks, went out to breakfast, did some shopping and just relaxed. Makena did great on the car rides there and back, sleeping pretty much most of the time. Here are a few pictures of Makena on the trip, but they are in the condo and so you pretty much can't tell that we are on vacation...sometimes we forget we can take pictures of other things besides our little Makena. :)

Makena all stretched out on the hotel bed in her new jammies we bought in St. George.

We bought Makena this little snow suite to keep her bundled up in the winter. I thought she would hate it since it was a lot like her bunny costume from Halloween with a hood. But luckily I was wrong, she seemed to like it and kicked her legs and smiled the whole time she was in it!

Playing with papa...she loves this game!

Just hanging out...she wasn't very happy at this moment, it had been a long day in the car seat.

Makena was smiling and talking to us right as I took this picture but every time I try to get a picture of her smiling this is always the look that I get. I think the flash must distract her or something because for the life of me I can't get a picture of her cute smile. I took like a million shots to try and get it but Shane finally made me stop.

Halloween

I know I am a bit behind on getting these posted but we did have a very fun Halloween with Makena! She was a little bunny rabbit and looked adorable! I think she was a little afraid of the costume though, the head part was a little big and kept falling in her eyes. The Sunday before Halloween we went to a party with Shane's family, all the kids dressed up and we carved pumpkins. The kids looked so cute and it was fun for me and Shane to have a kid to dress up and join in the fun with. On Halloween we went to my parents house and had homemade chilli and just hung out. Makena is the only gandchild on my side so she got lots of attention in her cute costume, everyone was taking pictures and passing her around...we were all pretty excited but she just looked at us like she wondered what in the world was going on. Makena's first holiday was a lot of fun!
