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

SPRING

Well, it has been too long since I have posted. We have been having such a fun and busy spring. We are loving the nice weather and most of all loving watching Makena grow and learn new things and see her funny little personality come out. She will be 9 months this week, I can't believe how fast time goes by! She is getting big way too fast. She is now crawling a little bit, still pretty unsure about going forward, goes backward really well and can roll anywhere she wants. I am not used to having her so mobile and have to remind myself not to leave her on anything she can roll or crawl off of. Shane and I celebrated our B-days in April and are now officially getting old.(HaHa) Here are a few highlights of the last few months.


Easter Sunday -

I was so excited to dress her up in her new Easter dress and shoes! She looked so cute!


Shane and Makena all ready for church.


The Easter Bunny brought Makena this little Giraff.


We have lots of birthdays in April so we got together with Shane's family and had a BBQ to celebrate. It was at Shane's sister's house and they have goats and chickens, we had fun showing them to Makena...at first she liked them until they got a little too close. It was such a fun night with Shane's family, they are great people and we love them!

Playing with Papa.


Looking at the goats with Mom.


Getting a closer look at the goats with aunt Amy and Mya. She thought they were pretty exciting.


Ready to get out...they started jumping up by her and we tried to get her to pet them. She did NOT want to pet them! It was so funny!


Playing with Sawyer, he is 4 months older than her. They are going to have lots of fun growing up together.


Emma holding one of her chickens so the kids could pet it.


Makena LOVED the swing! She just laughed and laughed while she was swinging. I guess we need to get a swing!





Eight months old and starting to crawl around a little bit.





First boating trip!!!










Other fun stuff...

Ready to go outside and have fun in the sun in her new hat.




Just chillin' with papa after church.


Makena is always smiling and laughing, she is so happy and just makes everything so much fun!


All bundled up to go on a stroller ride, she loves being outside in the stroller.
