Beach time!

This week my friend Yolanda was in town with her little one Welsey who is only 2 days older than Makayla. It was a beautiful day and we packed up the kids and went down to Duck Lake. I was not sure how Makayla would since she really has not played in sand or the water. Needless to say she surprised me! She LOVED playing in the sand and LOVED the water. Granted the water was a little bit on the cold side, but she did not want to get out. I took her in for a little bit and then brought her back out to play in the sand. When I took her back in the water, she did not want me to hang on to her and she kept wanting to go further into to the water, the deep section (well deep to her). She had so much fun and so did Wesley. Wesley enjoyed the sand a little too much, he wanted to do a taste test. Not sure what he thought of that. We left the beach around 3:30 and the kids were fast asleep with in minutes of leaving. They both slept for a good 2 hours and I am sure that she would have slept more, but we woke her up, because we wanted her to sleep that night! I am very happy that she loves teh beach, there will be more beach days to come this year. Enjoy the pictures!

Kiddie Pool

I got Makayla a little kiddie pool to play in this summer for the days that we don't make it over to grandma and grandpas pool. We used it the other week for the first time and she was not to sure about it. I figured that she would love it since she loves the bathtub. She really didn't know what to do, so she was not in it very long. She got out and played with her slide instead. The next day I sat int he pool with her and she played more in the water, I didn't mind sitting in the little pool with her since it was really warm out that day. Enjoy the pictures!

Makayla's 1st birthday

Makayla is 1! Okay I know this is a little late, since she turned 1 on May 23, but I am now able to sit down and upload pictures now that school is done. It is one of my goals to keep up on this, now that I am off for the summer!

We had Makayla's birthday on her birthday and the day turned out beautiful! She had lots of family and friends come to celebrate with her. We had about 40 people show up, and we did a little cookout so everyone could relax and have a good time! We are truly blessed with all of the family and friends that care about our little one. It meant alot to us that everyone took time out of their busy schedules to come and celebrate with us! Thank you to everyone who was here with us that day!

At Makayla's 1 year checkup she was just over 20 pounds, so we were able to turn her car seat around for her to face forward. She was 28 3/4 inches, and still growing like a weed! She has been walking around like crazy and into everything. This summer is going to be a lot of fun, I cannot wait to take her to the beach and just being able to be outside playing. She loves to go outside and play. She actually stands at the front door just after you come in from outside, waiting to go back out for more! Here are some pictures from Makayla's birthday party! Enjoy them, and I will be posting more in the furture!

She did not drive in to her cake. She has just recently started to feed herself in the past 2 weeks!
