9 Month's

I can't believe how fast time has flown by!!! Kason is already nine months old! I think I have always looked forward to the fall time and Christmas time but this year I am so sad. Because once Christmas comes my baby will be a year old! I can't believe it is happening so fast! Well we took him to the Dr this week and here are his stats

Length 27.5 in 25.16%

Weight 20.77 lb 55.32%

Head 18 in 63.68%

Kason is such an active boy. He is always wiggling and moving around. He rolls all over the place and he can do an army crawl/scoot. It is just the cutest thing ever! He is also loving food. He will eat about everything we put in front of him. I wonder if he is going to be one of those teenagers that is never full! He is also a spitter. He loves to spit. He does it when he's playing, eating, or talking with people. He is really cute when he gets excited and he just starts spitting. Although it is a little embarrassing when you are at church or out in public and he is spraying strangers but oh well. He's just too cute and lovable to care. Kason also has three teeth now and lots of cute fuzzy hair on top of his head. I'm still learning how to control it but I love it! He is just that happiest, sweetest, cutest, most lovable little boy I could ever ask for and we sure do love him!

Fancy Nancy

Makenna loves the Fancy Nancy books so I took her to the Fancy Nancy party at our city library. They hadn't expected such a turn out so they didn't have enough supplies for the activity and you really couldn't hear the story but Makenna loved it anyway. Most of the kids were all dressed up fancy, and of course Makenna got to dress up. Here are some pics of her dressed all fancy.

We borrowed my sisters feather boa, just like Nancy has in the books.

Makenna is still talking about it and can't wait to go again next time!

He's on the move

This is where I found Kason the other day.

It won't be long until he is all over the house!

First Day of School

Tuesday was Makenna's first day of school. Well Joy school actually. There are a bunch of girls her age in our neighborhood so we put together a group and are doing a Joy school for the kids. There are seven of them counting Makenna. We started this week and Makenna was so excited to go. I let her pick out a new shirt to wear and she wanted to take her "pack back" (backpack). She was a little confused thought because she wanted to ride a bus to school. I told her in a couple years she could but then realized that we will be walking to school. But hopefully she will get to ride a bus for field trips. She had lots of fun and can't wait to go to "goose" (school) next week!

Daily Occurances

Lately Makenna and Kason have been so funny and they have been doing the cutest things! Makenna's new word is "Really." And she doesn't use it once she repeats it about 3 or 4 times. She is always saying, "I'm really, really, really, hungry," or I'm really, really really, thirsty." It is so cute and I don't even know where she came up with it, but I love it. Also,this is what Makenna looks like every day.

She is definitely our little princess, and we sure do love her! She loves to play dress up and dance around and everyday she has on a crown. This is her second one since her birthday. The first one broke and she wanted Santa Clause to bring her a new one. But when I took her to the dentist last month they let her pick a prize from the basket for being such a brave girl and we found this crown. Now she doesn't have to wait so long for Santa to come. That is, if this one last that long!

Now as for Kason, he has become since a wiggler. I can not believe how active he is. He was so still in my stomach that I was always so nervous because he never moved. He is sure making up for it now! He rolls all over the place, and never stays where I put him. This is where I usually find him in the mornings. I leave him on his back with his head facing the other direction. He just completely turns himself around!

Isn't that the cutest thing ever!

He isn't crawling yet but he will push his feet and scoot towards a toy or he will roll over to it. Now this might not come as a surprise to most of you. That's what babies usually do. But with Makenna she was sitting like a pro by 4 months and she never rolled over and never really crawled. I put her down and she stayed there tell she was 14 months and was walking.

We have two baskets one filled with diapers and one filled with toys and he will roll over to them and dump them out. He is already getting into everything! Oh, but it is the cutest things ever! I just love this little man!

Where Did August Go?

I cannot believe that September is here in two days! Now, I love September because it cools off a little and I feel like the Holiday season starts with my birthday and then continues on with Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's just the greatest time of year. But what happened with August? We were so busy and it just flew by! But we have had lots of fun. We did the Gardens at Thanksgiving Point, had our 10 year high school reunion (we are so old!!!), and we attempted to go camping. My uncle Darrell passed away and his funeral was the same weekend we were supposed to go camping so we had to compromise. We ended up roasting marshmallow's in Weston's new fire pit and making s'mores and then we pitched the tent in the backyard and slept outside. It was lots of fun and Makenna really enjoyed it.

This is Makenna, making sure that all the zippers and pockets in the tent work

Such cute kids!

Just the boys hanging around the fire

Summer Vacation

Last week Weston and I returned from a nice summer vacation. We left both kids at grandma's house and went to California. My dad had some free tickets that were expiring and he gave them to us to use. We were also able to use some points for hotel and then spent one night at Weston's uncle Tommy's house. We had so much fun out there. The first day we went to the beach and did some shopping. Then on Friday we went to Universal Studios. That was lots of fun. Although we got stuck on the tram ride and the King Kong in 3D broke down so we didn't even get to see it. But The Mummy roller coaster was fun. I was a little disappointed because the weather wasn't that warm. The beach was 69 degrees. Not the best weather for swimming but I did get to work on my tan. And that made Universal Studios nice for standing in lines. But all in all it was a nice vacation and it was fun to get away for the weekend. Thanks to both my parents and Weston's parent's for watching the kids, Tommy and Denny for dinner and their hospitality, my dad for the tickets and hotel, and my sisters for taking Makenna to the movie. Both kids got so spoiled and didn't even miss us, they were having so much fun!

This was our sweet rental. Wes was so bugged when he saw it. He was like this isn't a car, I rented a car! But I told him it was cool because it was red and it matched him!

There was a cute couple getting married on the beach. They looked so young and happy, I just had to get a picture of there wedding

This is Weston's uncle Tommy

I always wanted one of these suckers when I was little so I had to bring Makenna one home. She loved it, but she dropped it the next day and it shattered. She was pretty sad about it.

We got Kason one too and a little stuffed animal. Isn't he the cutest little guy!
