Ready for Summer Sun and Fun!

With all the snow we have been getting lately and the fact that it is tax season which means Shane is always working away, we are definitely looking forward to the warm, more laid back days of summer! In our excited anticipation of the coming summer we decided to buy Makena a life jacket and a swimming suit so that she will be ready for the first boating trip of the season! We are hoping that she will take to the boating life with as much excitment and enthusiasm as her parents...I don't know if she really has a choice though. :) She looks so cute in her little suit, she is our little water baby. We are counting the days until we get to take her on the boat, I think Shane wants her skiing before she can even walk. We try to put her in the life jacket every few days so that she gets used to it, that way by the time she has to wear it she won't mind it at all...we'll see how that goes.

Testing out the new life jacket, she seems to like it!

In the full boating attire, she is ready to go!

6 Months Already !?!?!

I can't believe it...Makena will be 6 months old tomorrow. It seems like time has gone by so fast with her, I feel like it was just yesterday that I was in the hospital and they handed my precious little baby to me for the first time. I love her so much, she is such a riot! Life is so much fun with her. She is rolling both ways now, making all kinds of noises, eating not only rice cereal but a few fruits and veggies and she has become much more busy and active lately. My favorite thing in the world is her laugh and she is happy to share it with us often! Here are a few pics of some of the things going on in our life over the past month. Not that exciting but we are happy and loving every minute of it.

She is getting so big!



Reading her book

She wants everything in her mouth!

Fun times with Grandpa

Makena LOVES her cereal

Hanging out with Aunt Mandi



She adores her papa...he always makes her laugh

My sister-in-law, Amy, watches Makena two days a week while I work, here is Makena playing with her cousin Mya. It looks like they have lots of fun!! They are such cute cousins.

I'd rather eat it!

Makena looked so cute for church the other day that I just had to take some pictures. She has the cutest little cheetah print shoes that one of my friends gave me at a baby shower and they finally fit so I was pretty excited but as you can see from the pictures Makena wasn't too concerned with how cute they looked...she just wanted to eat them!




I kept trying to put them back on but she was more persistent than me...notice all the slobber on the bottom of them.
