Was that you God?

Makenna has been completely obessed with God and Heaven lately. She loves to ask about God and seems to bring it up at random times. Believe it or not one of the times she like to talk about it is when she's going to the bathroom. Don't ask because I have no idea why. But the other morning we were in the middle of watching a movie when the power went out. It was sunny outside not storming or anything but we just lost power. So Makenna looks at us with this concerned and panicked face and says, "Was that God?" I couldn't help but chuckle b/c I wasn't expecting that at all, but then said, "No, Makenna, that wasn't God that shut our power off." I think it will be good for her when she starts Sunday School in the fall, but I wish her teachers well because I already know she will be asking them a TON of questions!

Multi-Tasker

Here is Mark riding his 4-Runner and also sword fighting at the same time. He would have a sword in his hand 24/7 if I would let him!

Police Woman Makenna

I think she looks more like a "Charlie's Angel" here!
Getting ready to go make her arrest

Calling the Police

Makenna still says that she wants to be a police girl when she grows up. She has been on this police kick for quite some time now. So when I was at Target a couple weeks ago and saw the police dress up stuff in their dollar section I couldn't resist. She loves putting her police hat on and going to arrest people. This particular day they rode down to our neighbor Gary's house and she had rode her 4-Runner through the neighbors yard so he told her that he would have to call the police on her. She quickly turned around and headed home. Next thing I knew she was riding back with her police hat and her phone. I said Makenna what are you doing? She said, "I'm calling the police on Gary." So she rode back to his house and opened her phone and told the police to come get Gary. She just cracks me up sometimes. =)

Diving For Rings

I forgot that I had taken this video of Mark a few weeks ago diving for rings. He loves to try to get more than one when he does it now. Matt's mom and dad have also been taking Mark and Makenna swimming a lot at the pool at the apartment they are staying in while they build their house. Judy took them yesterday and said they both can jump into the deep end and swim across the pool now. Even Makenna without any floaties! I told her I can't wait to come and watch!

Ahoy Matey!

I had gotten the kids some pirate stuff for Mark's birthday party that they enjoyed playing with even after the party was over. They loved dressing up and fighting with their swords and yes, guns. I caved. It was obvious though that Mark was still more into the fighting then Madison and Makenna. He's such a boy!

Tennis Lessons

Mark started tennis lessons this week. He was very excited as he loves tennis lessons. He did really well the first day, but today he had a different girl "teaching" him and it didn't go as well. The one girl isn't helping them by telling them where to stand or where to place your racket to better hit the ball. He likes it though and is doing good.

Jumping Waves

We all headed out to the beach yesterday so the kids could play and run around. They enjoyed jumping and splashing in the waves and building sandcastles with grandma and grandpa H. Tyler slept the whole time which was good for him and Bethany. It was a great day!
