Playing in the dishwasher

I was doing dishes and the next thing I knew Makenlee was in the dishwasher.

She climbs onto and into everything.

Playing basketball was fun too.

Do boys make milk?

Easton found my pump and was acting like Mommy I guess. He even made the motor noise. It was a total crack up.

B-day party 2

B-day Party 1

Happy Birthday Makenlee

We met Jon for lunch so he could sing Happy B-day to her since he had to work late. She loves eating out. So we took her to Ruby Tuesday. One of our favorite restaurants.

Today we celebrate our daughter's 1st b-day. I am amazed that she is already 1. Time does fly. We have had a whirlwind weekend so I will post pictures later. We fell so blessed by our little girl. She has brought so much joy to our lives and our faith and trust in God has grown through the last year of her life. We praise Jesus for her. She is His little princess given to us to draw closer to Him. Thank you Jesus!!!

Don't make me wear the hat

Miss Makenlee's B-day Party

We had M's party today. It was so fun. She had a good time and enjoyed all the attention and fun. I am still sifting through all the pictures but wanted to post a few.

" I am starting to get this whole walking thing down."

Yummy, cake. She did not get the whole cake thing at first. She kept lifting up the cake, but then Jon gave her a spoon to use and she had a ball.

The spread. Good stuff

Easton reading a book

Easton is already reading. Wow. He is so smart. I think he just memorized it. But it still was cute to watch him read it to me.

Watch what you say

Easton has really picked up on what we say and at times taken it quite literal. Which I am not to happy about. Jon has always told Easton that since he has a little sister he has to protect her and watch out for her. So 2 weeks ago we are all at Sprout and this little boy accidentally knocked Makenlee over. Easton goes up and says, "I am going to push that little boy that hurt Makenlee." I am glad he wants to protect her but I really don't want him beating other kids up. Ha.
Today Jon was pinching his butt and saying, "I am pinching your butt." They were laughing and I said Jon, "You can't do that he is going to think it is ok and do it to other kids and then we will get a call from school." After Jon leaves Easton comes up to me and says, " I pinch your butt." I said, " No you won't."

We have a walker in the house

Miss M took 3 steps all by herself today. We were so thrilled. She got so happy after doing it. It was right before she went to bed so we will see if it continues tomorrow.

No nap for the little misses

I put Makenlee down for a nap at the normal time and I went to do some chores. After I was done I went to call Jon on my cell phone but I could not find my cell phone. I thought it was in my sweatshirt pocket but it was not there. So I called it from the home phone. Sure enough it rings in Makenlee's room and she starts crying. She stops after a minute or so then about 20 minutes later she starts crying again. Stops and then like 10 minutes same thing starts crying. The darn cell phone keeps ringing and she can't sleep. So I decide well I am going to give up on her taking a nap. Well, she never really got one. But what was funny is it was in her crib so it must have fell out of my pocket as I put her to bed. Poor girl!!!
