Visit w/ Grandma and Grandpa

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit the grandkids this week. On Sunday we went to the Gatlinburg area. We hit the outlets (my fave), we drove through the Smokies and saw the pretty scenery and then to Nascar Speed Park to drive some race cars and play in the arcade area (Daddy, Easton and Grandpa's fave). We had a great day and had lots of fun.

"Are we there yet?"

Going down the slide at Nascar Speed Park.

Look out Jeff Gordon her comes Easton driving the race car.

"Do you see a bird? I am looking for a bird."

Makenlee loves kisses from her Daddy....

While Mommy shopped Grandpa and Easton got a foot massage. Wait Easton's feet don't reach. He wants a refund.

Grandpa and Makenlee

Makenlee is 4 Months

I can't believe how fast Makenlee is growing. She is such a personable little baby too. She loves to laugh, babble and talk to us. She is rolling over and pulls up off her tummy. She is an active girl kicking her legs when we hold her. She is so fun and she brings us a lot of joy.

Smily Girl

We were at a church picnic and Makenlee was hamming it up.

Here is Jocelyn and Makenlee. Her Mommy's due date and mine were a day apart. Except Makenlee came 13 days early and Jocelyn came 2 days late.

Makenlee's friends

Makenlee hangs out a lot with her brother's friends, but here are some friends her own age from church. Micheal (7 months) and Jocelyn (3 months).

Tools

I found a screw under Easton's bed and so I asked Jon where it may have come from. So Jon looked and there was nothing that needed to be screwed in, but Easton thought something needed fixin so he went and got his powerdrill to make sure. Here he is under the bed looking to fix something. It is cute when Jon gets his tools out. Easton runs and gets his so he can be like Daddy and fix it.

Goofy boy

This is what happens when you say chesse to take a picture of Easton. He always smiles but will shut his eyes. I'll tell him open his eyes and he will then do this. Can he smile with his eyes open? If I catch him really quick.

Daddy and Easton

Happy to be in Mama's arms....

Sleeping on Aunt Jeanne

Makenlee watching the kids play in the sprinklers and thinking I wish I could do that, it is WAY TOO Hot....

Miss blue eyes

Makenlee loves to stick her tongue out.

Our growing girl

She loves to grab her toes and reach for whatever she can get her hands on.

Mommy and Miss Makenlee

It seems I am always the one taking the picture. So I told Jon take a picture of me and my girl. Here we are just hanging out.

Makenlee is already 3 months

Makenlee turned 3 months yesterday. Time is flying by. She is getting a fun little personality. She loves to smile, babble and coo at us.

Makenlee is Daddy's little princess.

Joshua and Makenlee

This is one of Makenlee's friends, Joshua. He was born 6 days before Makenlee. It is nice she is making friends her own age.

Kisses from Aunt Jeanne

Aunt Jeanne loves to hug and give Makenlee lots of loving kisses.

Just playing the piano

Makenlee really likes her piano. She kicks it and it plays music.

Makenlee is about to roll over....

This is an action shot sequence. She was laying on her belly and then the next thing I know she was on her side....

Guess who used the BIG BOY potty today??

Easton did. He went pee pee. I have never been so excited to see pee. I almost started crying I was so happy and proud of my boy. I cheered and clapped and then he started clapping and cheering saying, "Yeah." So I got out the BIG boy underwear out and he wore them for like 10 minutes and ran around like a proud boy. He then got to eat some of mommy's special peppermint ice cream as a treat. I hope he continues to show interest in the whole potty training thing.


I want to get him this. It is called Peter the Potty. It is a little urinal. Easton's friend, Trevor has one and it helped him get potty trained super quick. It is cool. It flushes and everything.

Swinging on the tire swing

We had a playdate at a friend's house and there was a tire swing Easton and his friends, Sammie and Trevor had some fun swinging on it. The kids just ate chocolate ice cream so they were all sticky too. Easton kept standing up on the tire and his friend Sammie kept saying, "You better sit down or you will get discipline." She likes to discipline Easton. It is very funny.

Easton's 2 1/2 Year Photo Shoot

4th of July firework

While watching the firework show at a friends house. A firework fell over and shot at Jon it hit him in the leg. He know has a huge burn on the inside of his leg. He was holding Easton at the time and he lifted him up so it would not get him. So at least the boy was spared.

4th of July Pictures

Here is Sammie, Easton, Trevor and Erin. Sammie and Trev are Easton's best buddies. They have a lot of fun and get into 2 year old mischief together. But they always provide great laughs for us.

It was a late night. Makenlee was not a happy girl once the fireworks started.

Mommy and Makenlee

4th of July

We had a great 4th of July. We had a BBQ at a friend's house and did fireworks there. Eston had fun playing with his friends. It was late night...Here is Makenlee in her little pod seat enjoying the show.

Park Playdates and Water Fun

Since it is getting hot here we have been enjoying playing in the water and pool. We went to the zoo with some friends and they have this water area for the kids to play in.

Easton has been loves playing at the park with his friends. He loves being outside.
