Fun at Miss Jill's

The 4 Amigos (Jill did not pose them, they were just like this!)
Brothers and Sisters
Don't worry, the blue tiara meant he was a Prince.
He did the Cars puzzle all by himself!

Makenna loving the blocks!

When I was in the hospital last week my good friend Jill, who I work with and lives in my neighborhood, took care of Mark and Makenna for me while Craig and Judy were at work. She has no idea just how much Matthew and I greatly appreciated this. I hated for her to have to take care of two 3 yr olds and two babies, but she did a great job. I'm sure she was exhausted at the end of the day. Mark and Adison play great together and I guess Makenna was all about Caden. Hopefully I won't have to dump the kids on her anytime soon as I am hoping to stay out of the hospital as much as possible!

Makenna's After-bath

I took Makenna right upstairs to take a bath when we got inside. She loves putting this bowl on her head and she says, "Hat." It was the cutest thing. She also loved the bubbles and kept saying "bubbles". I just can't get over how much more she is talking!

Makenna's Aftermath

Makenna wasn't really willing to stay outside after her fall, which who can blame her. I took her indside and she finally grew much happier! (Sorry about the fuzzy pictures, my camera took a beating in the rain as well!)

The Flood of NW Indiana

Well, as most of you have had as well, we were hit by Ike and got a ton of rain dumped on us over this past weekend. Now, instead of a retention grassy area, we have a retention pond in the backyard. Matthew told Mark he would take him out there, but when Makenna saw them, she insisted on going as well. Mark found a rock, then Matthew found an even bigger one, which he was very proud of. It was all going great until Matthew slipped on some mud and decided Makenna could hit the ground, but Mark couldn't fall into the pond. I have to tell you, this was the funniest thing I have seen in a long time! I couldn't stop laughing and everytime I watch this video I bust out laughing again. No, it's not funny that Makenna fell, but it is hilarious that Matthew did!

Ball

Here are a couple videos of Makenna from this morning playing with Mark's soccer ball and his bouncy ball. He spent the night at Craig and Judy's which gave her free reign to play with all of his stuff. I'm pretty sure she was loving it. You can even see in the secod video she did a little dance!

I love my purse - part 2

Here is Makenna again today carrying around her purse. She was all ready to go to Church. In some of the pictures you can really see how long her hair is getting and how much curl she's getting in the back. It's the cutest thing. I always said if I couldn't have my red-headed daughter I would want one with blonde curls and she definitely has that! I just look at her everyday and think how beautiful she is.

I love my purse - part 1

Here are some pictures of Makenna holding her purse. It's actually a bag that her furReal puppy came in, but she puts everything in there and carries it around with her. Her two favorite things to put in it are her cell phone and her camera! I don't know where she got that from! She is just becoming quite the little girl!
