Two years...

What?!?! Two posts in a matter of a few weeks?!?! (Dont faint Aunt Shelley... im doing this for you.) ;) We've been enjoying these hot summer days.. some outside, some inside...

A whole lot of cheesing going on....

We had fun at a parade in the next town over last weekend! Daddy was in the parade with another friend, so we had fun watching the parade with friends too! 

And collecing candy of course..

Happy girl

Here comes daddy and the Carver County Snowmobile Club!

And there they go...

Little Miss Diva

Two years ago our little girl was born.. I still remember very clearly going in to the hospital around 2am to find out I was ready to have a baby! She was born at 4:36am and we havent slept much since that day. ;) However, Id gladly give up sleep for the wonderful two years weve had... always an adventure! 

Makenzie is blowing our minds with her knowledge and humor every day it seems.. Shes soaking everything in and knows her shapes, working on colors, numbers, abcs etc! Shes a little chatter box lately.

We had a blast watching her open presents..  every one of them was "Ooh No! and a giggle.." Hoping for some more pics from Auntie Jay.. she was our photographer. :) 

Pictures pictures pictures!! Summer 2012

Much to my dismay it seems like its hard to sit down and get this going, Kenzie and daddy are still in bed, and im listening to Macie play away as I finally get to this on what looks to be a hot lazy Saturday. (Yes, those are the best...) Brendon is getting antsy to be snowmobiling... but Im hoping these last few months of summer last a loooong time. :)

Well.... the kids are continuing to thrive here.. Macie is already 7m and 20lbs. She is pulling herself up on anything she can get ahold of and doesnt ever really sit still. (are we suprised following big sis? nope) She does the army crawl, quickly getting anywhere she wants to be. We often here "WHOA BABY!" from big sis. However, Makenzie is usually saying "coming macie?" She now has her two bottom teeth and appears to still be teething.. so we may see more in the near future! Wearing 12-18m clothes she is doing ok fitting into Kenzies clothes from last summer. :) Macie has mastered the art of babbling and is usually wearing a big grin! This past week she also suprised us by drinking out of a straw!

Kenzie is almost TWO! (this really doesnt seem possible.) She is changing by the day as well.. talking alot and understanding alot too. She still loves shoes, being outside and her baby dolls of course. She is really into picking flowers and playing with the rocks. All about "big trucks" loves seeing airplanes, cant get enough of chapstick, lotion, loves reading books, talking on the phone (make believe or real) :) She loves pockets and buttons.. loves laughing with playing with her sister (when she isnt taking away her toys and bonking her over the head) :) I feel like Im not even close to her crazy loving personality but shes proved to be well rounded! 

We feel very fortunate to have two happy healthy active little girls... they make life well entertained and full of love! :)

Macie going in for the chew... 6m
