Summer Days

I just had to post thse pictures of Makenna and her cousins. We went swimming right before they went back to school and Makenna had so much fun. We went to the Scera pool in Orem. They had the cutest slides and so many different things that squirted water. Oh and aren't her little flip flops the cutest!

Such an example

I just had to share with you all what a great mother Katrina is. From the picture you can tell that she loves spending time with Makenna. I saw them both out in the garden and had to sneak a picture of them working side by side. She is such an example to me and Makenna. Everyone who knows Makenna, knows that she is very observant and picks up on everything and that is why Katrina is such a great example and mother to her. She won't ever admit it but she works really hard to make me and Makenna's life better. What a perfect mother and wife for our family. She is probably going to kill me when she finds that I wrote this about her but it is well worth it to let you all know how much she is appreciated in our family.

Makenna walking

Makenna finally started walking on July 10th! 2 days before she was 14 months. It is just the cutest thing ever! We have tons of video and pictures and I just had to post this video of her. Weston is the best husband ever. He had to download the video to our computer so I could put this up. (I couldn't figure it out!) Now I know what everyone's been talking about saying she will get into everything. But she is just too cute to even care. She is getting really good at walking now and that is all she did on Sunday at church. She just walks up and down the halls and through the gym. She loves it when she has a big open room and can just walk tell something stops her. She doesn't have that freedom at our house. She takes three steps and can walk to almost anything! Someday we'll get into a place that has a little more room for her to play in. Well tell next time!

Memories of Me (or us)

My friend Nicole did this on her blog and I thought it was a lot of fun so here ya go.

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

So much to say

Hi everybody! So much has been going on lately and I have been slacking on the blogging so I have so much to say. Well first of all and most importantly is Makenna started walking!!! Finally! At two days before she turned 14 months she started walking. It is the cutest thing ever! She still is very careful when she walks and holds onto things when she can but she is so cute! She was even running from me when we told her we were leaving my parents house the other night. It was so cute! I couldn't stop laughing.

Some more new info is that I got a job. It is selling shoes at shoe parties for a company called 4 the love of shoes. You should check out there website at 4theloveofshoes.com I just drive to where ever they tell me to and set up a display and sell shoes. It has been so much fun. The only hard part is pulling the trailer with all the shoes in it and backing it up. But I'm learning and it will be good to know how. I just do it at nights and on Saturdays so then I don't have to be away from Makenna too much. And they pay really good too so that's the best thing. I am going to save every penny so we can have a good down payment when we ever get into a house. That is my goal so hopefully it will work out well.

Well, we also just got back from the cabin on Sunday and that was fun. Makenna loved the four-wheeler. There is a cute picture of her walking at the cabin I will have to post. I am trying to get Weston to figure out how to put video on so I can show Makenna walking. We weren't very smart and didn't get any pictures of her walking. Just video. But it is so cute. Well tell next time!

p.s. Okay you have to check out Stephenie Meyer's website. I put the link on the side of our blog. I am obsessed with the Twilight books and they have quotes everyday from the new book and they have a count down tell the book comes out. Oh and I started her new book The Host at the cabin and it is really good too. But not as good as Twilight. I don't think anything can beat those books! I am totally team Edward too for anyone that didn't know! I don't know how you couldn't know!

Rodeo!!!

This last week was so crazy. Weston's brother went into the MTC on Wednesday and then it was Round-up week. So needless to say it was a crazy week last week with something every day and night. But Makenna was so stinking cute! She went to the rodeo two nights in a row and loved it. She would just giggle and clap at everything. And she is just a people watcher so she just enjoyed being in a crowd of people. Her favorite part of the rodeo was the motorcycles. She just loved it and squealed at them. She was cute. We had her dressed up in the cutest denim skirt and the most adorable pink boots. It was so much fun. She also loved the parades. She watched them both and had so much fun going after all the candy that was thrown at us. We are lucky enough to live on the parade route so we had awesome seats for the parade. Then on Saturday we took her to the park to play. She went on a pony ride, petted all the animals at the petting zoo and then she rode on the swings. That was her favorite part. She absolutely loved it and wanted to go again and again. It definitely was a busy week but it was such a fun week spending all the time together as a family. Makenna loves getting to hang out with her dad so much. So it was a great week. Well tell next time!

Hogle Zoo

Today we went to the zoo and it was so much fun! Hot but fun. It was Makenna's first time and she loved it. The Giraffe's and the Ducks were her favorite. She would point to them and make her little "eh, eh" noise. It was so cute. And Weston taught her how to growl like a bear or tiger and so she has been doing that all day. I just went in to check on her (she is supposed to be napping, but of course she isn't) and she growled at me. It was pretty cute. It was lots of fun. Hopefully we can do some more fun things this summer. It is crazy with Weston in school so we take every chance we can get to do some things as a family. But it sure is fun!
