Petting Zoo

Shane had Friday off work so we decided to spend it as a family and take Makena to the petting zoo out at Gardner Village. She was so excited to be down on her own exploring with the animals all around her. She was so fun to watch as she cautiously petted all the animals. She even got to go on a pony ride, which she seemed to love. After the petting zoo we browsed a few shops then went out to lunch. It was such a fun day as a family. I love Shane and Makena so much, they always bring so much joy to my life. Here are some cute pics from our adventure.

HaPpY FaLl!!

We have been having a fun fall at our house. I have been enjoying the cooler weather and hope that it stays nice like its been for a lot longer. Shane is slowly coming to terms with the fact that boating season is coming to an end, he always hates to see the summer boating go away. Makena is growing so fast and is so much fun, I find myself laughing at the cute little things she does all the time. We are realizing that she understands a lot more than we give her credit for and she is watching everything we do, so we gotta be careful. Makena has had quite a few ear infections over the past few months and last month she had a bad run in with the flu shot which led us to a long night in the hospital and then to find out that she is allergic to eggs. I was totally suprised by the news but apparently a lot of kids grow out of an egg allergy within a year so we are hoping by staying away from it now we can get her to grow out of it. It has brought on lots of new recipes and creative cooking, luckily not too much stuff we eat (other than desserts and cookies) has egg in it so it hasn't been too bad. I am happy to say that she is doing great now and is as active as ever. My biggest news to share is that I cut my hair!! Yes, I actually did it. I have been wanting to change my hair for a while now but I have been really nervous about actually doing it. I finally talked myself into it and I LOVE it! I cut about 7 or 8 inches off and it has been a fun change. Hope you are all doing great! Happy Fall!

My new look.



Makena showing off one of our two pumpkins we got out of our garden...yeah they were pretty sad little things, we're not sure what happened. We need to up our gardening skills for next year thats for sure!



Having some Halloween spirit! We are so excited for Halloween this year. I am still working on Makena's costume, it is going to be cute and she is going to be lots of fun.
