Cute quote!

Be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled, will disappear all too soon... and that you will, to your surprise, miss them, profoundly."

President Thomas S. Monson

I thought this was a really cute and I am sure true quote. I am already missing the "baby" in Makenna and she isn't even 2 yet. Less than two months and she will be though. Sad :(

I guess I like e-bay more than I thought...

So it has been a while since I have posted on here. Mostly because I think I have to have a picture to go with my post and since my battery charger was destroyed :) by my cute little girl I haven't been able to take any pictures. But...I found a new charger on ebay for only $7.50 and no shipping charge! WooHoo! I love to find great deals!

So here are a few pics from a while ago that are on my camera now!
Makenna's cute hair!

Makenna demanded Grandpa come inside her playhouse!! Kinda tight! As you can tell she always gets what she wants.

And I love love love this one of Kenna pushing Chopper in her baby doll stroller. She thought it was the funniest thing ever. What a good sport chop is too.

First Hair Cut

Well Makenna got her first hair cut! Or should I say trim? It was a very small amount to come off the length. It just helped it look a little better and trim the ends up. She thought it was pretty neat to sit in the big chair and wear the apron. She did really good. She just sat there at first then she got a little curious and tried to look at Jamie's hands while she was cutting to try and figure out what she was doing. But Kenna was a good girl. And then it was over. Here are some before and after pics. Well before and during really. And a short video.

Chirstmas 2009

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We sure did. We had so much fun with Makenna this year at Christmas since she is a little older and can participate a little more. We took her to see santa at the mall. And she really didn't care much she wasn't impressed or scared or anything really. She just sat there on his lap, when he would talk to her she just listened, not even responding to him. I think she was a little curious. When Santa offered her a candy cane she immediately shook her head yes. It was cute. We went to dinner at Black Pearl for my mom's birthday which is Christmas eve. (Ryan and my Dad had to go ride snowmobiles this morning before the party) We had cake and ice cream later at her house. After the birthday party we went to Ryan's Grandma's house. Santa always comes there and the kids sure love it. Christmas morning I was the first one awake. So was so excited when Makenna woke up. She was so surprised by all the stuff in the living room for her. She got lots of new toys. Ryan got sunglasses and new shoes. I got diamond earings, a new light fixture I had been wanted to go over my kitchen sink and a bed in a bag set I had found that I really liked. Ryan surprised me with it. I didn't think he would remember. Then we went to my grandma Danny's for breakfast with my Mom and Boyd Tristan and Cody too. We ate lots of yummy food and exchanged gifts. My mom and boyd gave Makenna a cute little baby that crawls and a play vacuum that really picks up. I think it is great. :) She got lots a fun things from Grandma Danny too. Another kitchen and baby and too much to list. I got to talk to Trista and Shilo too while we were waiting for everyone to get to Danny's house. It was about 6 in the evening there so they had already had there Christmas morning. Trista had already taken down all of her Christmas decorations. She said she had others she wanted to put up. Silly girl!! But I don't blame her. I took our tree down at about 11pm, I can't handle all the clutter. It was nice to get everything cleaned up and in their places. Anyway...

We went home to get ready to go to my Dad's house in Preston. We went and at lunch with them and exchanges more gifts. Makenna got a bouncy horse. He talks and sings. She loves it. Then we went back to Logan to see Ryan's family and exchange gifts with them. Grandpa and Grandma Jamison gave Makenna a play vacuum too. She plays with it everyday almost I think. She loves to help me clean up. Then we went back to our house and everyone came over to see what Kenna got.

It was a busy day for sure. I really like Christmas day even though it is always go go go. So here are so pictures of our busy Christmas.

Snow Day!

Ryan has been so excited to take Makenna outside to play in the snow. And you can sure tell she is his child. She LOVED it just as much as he did. After Ryan was done clearing the driveway and the sidewalks (on our whole street) and the neighbors driveways he came in asking Makenna if she wanted to come outside to play. So I got her all bundled up. Ryan took her on the snowmobile around the house a few times and then in the teryx. Oh boy was it fun. Then since we didn't have a snow sled Ryan got out the tube that is supposed to be for water and hooked it to the back of the teryx and asked me to come out and pull them around in it. So I did...of course. After about 20 times around and around the house I stopped and asked Makenna if she was cold and wanted to go in the house and all she did was shake her head no and gave me her grouchy face she has been doing lately. So I asked her if she wanted more and she shook her head yes! So away we went around the house some more. She is going to be an adrenaline junky like her dad. I can see it now. :) Here are some cute pictures I got.

4 Generations!

We had a four generation picture taken on Friday! It was all Danny's idea and her doing. She got us all cute red outfits to wear and they just turned out so cute. I can't wait for the actual pictures to come in. Maybe one day we will be able to do a five generation picture. But I hope not for a long while. :)

Providence Canyon!

Ryan wanted to go up Providence canyon tonight to see how much snow was up there compared to the valley. So we did! There was quite a bit more than at home. As soon as we got to the dirt road it was snow packed. I figured we would have to drive a ways to get to snow on the road. Makenna just loved it, she was very curious. She can actually see out the windshield and windows in the Bronco because the back seat is so much higher than normal. Here is my cute husband having fun playing in the snow.





She looks like she is asleep but her eyes are just closed because of the flash!





















Sunset!










Another cute one of Ryan.










The waterfall, it's kinda hard to see in this one.

Family pics 2009

We had family pictures done October 24 and they turned out so cute. I was so happy with the girl that did them. Her name is Brittney Miller and she is out of Layton. She did an awesome job! Since Makenna was a year and a half we did some of just her too. I love them all and just need to decide which one of all of us I want to blow up big to go on my wall now. But I can't decide. If you are needing someone to do pictures for family or kids or anything really her blog is stolenmomentsphotography-brittney.blogspot.com
