Update

I just thought I would mention what is new in our lives at this point in them.! Well not a lot has changed. Makenna is still just as energetic and growing as ever. She almost has all of her baby teeth. One last one is right there at the gum line trying to come in. Thank goodness. I am so glad that will be done for a while.

Ryan has finished all the painting on the shed and it is DONE!!! Woohoo. We well Ryan & my dad started building it last summer/fall-ish and now it is completely done. It is so nice to have everything out of the garage and have a place to put it and keep it out of the weather. Other than that he has just been working and do little projects here and there.

And for me not a lot has changed at all really. EXCEPT... I am an AUNT now!! And Ryan is an Uncle and Makenna has a cousin. A first for all of us. Very excite!! Shandi (Ryan's sister) had her cute lil baby boy Jordan on last Wednesday at 11:39pm. He weighed 8 lbs 12oz. and he sure is the cutest little thing ever. I LOVE his cry. It is so cute. I have never heard a baby cry so cute before.
Oh and I have been only working part time for now. Not by choice but at least I am able to still get some hours. Which I am thankful for. It's nice to be able to be with Makenna more in the day, get errands done and the house cleaned up more often. :)

Easter

We had such a fun Easter with Makenna this year! She woke up and was in her crib and could see her Easter basket in the living room and kept yelling "mom" so I went in to get her and she pointed to her basket and would pat her chest and say "my my". So I told her it was hers and she said "haa" (that means yeah). She sure know that she is the spoiled little princess that she is and that everything is hers! She loved finding all the eggs that were hidden around the house. Once she found one she was satisfied and didn't want to keep looking for more. But eventually she got them all. (All 29 of them). We went Grandma and Grandpa Jamison's for dinner and it was very yummy. My favorite, ham and potatoes. Kenna and Jaden had a hunt for candy outside. We visited for a while and went home. My mom and grandma came over to give Makenna a Easter treat. She got come new p.j.'s and big girl underwear, that she had to try on right away, a beach towel and a little wagon full of sand toys and little farm animal eggs with candy in them. And a bubble blower that Makenna tried to use as a blow dryer and got her hair stuck a few times...but it was only a little, not too bad! She had a blast and was very tired by 7:30pm came so she went to bed early and so did mom and dad!!

P.S. Sorry the pictures are out of order...I have NO idea how to rearrange them once I have added them on!

Continued, 2 years old and birthday party pics.

So Makenna went for her 2 year check up on Friday. It was wonderful because she didn't have to get any shots! She is 35 inches tall 90-95% and is 30 lbs. 85%. So she is growing. She is such a funny little girl.

We had her birthday part last Saturday and she had so much fun playing and seeing all her family come over. So here are lots of pictures to describe her day!

2 Years Old!

Wow! I can't believe Makenna is 2 years old. I seriously cannot. It has gone by so FAST, it seems like she was just born. Well maybe not just born but that is all I have thought about since 10:30 pm last night. How we would just be getting to the hospital and they would be checking me to see if I was really in labor and if they would keep me. It was the real deal much to my surprise. I thought for sure they would send me home and it'd be a false alarm. It was two weeks early and I didn't even have my bag packed to take to the hospital. Then it was mid night and I got my epidural. The best feeling ever after all that pain of the contractions. And by 3:00 am I was complete. Then 5:00 am I started pushing and at 7:06 am baby Makenna was here and we were so happy. It was one of the best moments in my life to see her. We l0ve her so much and don't know what we would do without her. Happy birthday Makenna, we love you. Love Mommy and Daddy!

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.
