HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY MATTHEW!

Today is Matt's 30th Birthday! Thank goodness he has FINALLY joined my 30 club! I was so tired of listening to how he was still in his 20's and me in my 30's. Whenever we would go out he would ask the waiter or whoever where ever we were if they had a senior discount for me! I'm so happy now that we're the same age again! Only 10 more years till I have to go through that again! I hope he has a Happy Day!

2 Peas in a Pod

Looking at me like, "What the heck are you doing?"
Watching TV

Lately Mark and Makenna have been 2 peas in a pod. They do everything together and Makenna has become very attached to Mark. She wants to be with him all the time and wants him to play with her or she will do whatever he wants to do. They have been playing Zingo still every chance they get, but also Makenna has talked Mark into playing with her baby dolls. They also still enjoy building "towers" together with the lego table. They get along pretty well most of the time, which has benefited us lately b/c they have stayed home with Matt as he works from home and they don't even bother him unless it's lunch or dinner time. But they both still reach their peak every now and then when they need a break and some quiet time. That's when the TV comes into play. You can tell they come from the same gene pool b/c they always watch TV together like this. It was too funny the other day so I had to grab a quick pic!

Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving 2010
We spent Thanksgiving this year with Matt's family at his parents new house. They were thankful that they finally were able to move in and out of their temporary apartment! We were thankful to be able to spend the day with family.

Another Ninja Day



One of the costumes my mom had brought Mark was a red and black Ninja. He was excited to put that one on as well and use his sword. Whenever he needs it, he usually beckons Makenna to get it for him too. He's such the big brother some days. But Makenna is usually more than happy to get it for him. Sometimes though, she does throw her little attitude towards him.

Wheel Barrow Race


Mark and Makenna have been playing Wheel Barrow Races lately and I don't know where they learned it, but at first I thought it was too cute, but then I became more weary that one of them was going to get hurt. Of course, it eventually happened. Makenna face planted and Mark landed on her, but they both got up and shook it off...and then wanted to do it again. I promptly said, "No More." I'm sure they'll do it again the next chance they get...
