A little grin out of her. She has the biggest smiles, but whenever I try and take a picture she looks at the camera and not me...then she doesn't smile.

Makaylie's blessing dress that my mom made. It was difficult to see all of it when it was on her. She tatted the lace on the bottom, sleeves, and neck. Then she put the purple ribbon on and tatted little flowers and butterflies.

I had to get a picture of her cute bow, dress, and shoes. It is so fun to dress a little girl up. I don't think she appreciate it much. My mom would attest that I was the same way.

Love my Jared who always gives the biggest hugs.

Nathan took this picture of us. He does a pretty good job.

The boys love to give Makaylie attention. This is her favorite toy. She especially likes it if one of the boys lays next to her. She will lay there a lot longer if someone is with her. I always ask one of the boys to watch her so can have 10 minutes to go and do something. They do really well with her.

Tummy time. She does really well on her tummy and has good control of her head. She has already rolled over several times from tummy to back.


Nathan really wanted to do a lemonade stand to earn some money to buy a shirt or hat at Sea World when we go in August. He stayed out there for an hour and a half and made a little over $15. One guy gave him $5. We also made cookies which I think really helped. The sign shows 50 cents, but I actually changed it to 25 cents. Matt kept saying that it should be $1, and I told him no way. It is a good thing I was in charge, so we actually sold something. Jared stayed out for about 30 minutes.



Makaylie has the biggest blue eyes ever.

Look at those cute pigtails. She is all ready for church.


My brown eyed boy.

Nathan is so strong that he tore a diaper box apart in two hours with his hands and a butter knife. He used the knife to take away the paper part which weakened it enough so he could tear it apart. Then he would put the pieces in a dump truck and then take that to the trash can. It took him two hours to do a box. Then he did the same thing the next day. Whatever it takes to entertain them.


Makaylie loves her baths and likes to see me get wet too. She splashes like a fish.
