February Happenin's

I've been meaning to post more pictures of Makenna but I didn't know what to title the post and I've rarely had computer time. I've been busy during normal free time after school taking Kaitlyn for a walk (we've had really nice weather), making dinner, running errands, and taking care of Makenna. My normal free time in the evenings has been spent taking care of Makenna as well, trying to keep her awake (what I should be doing now). Besides that the kids were sick for a week, which took all my time and energy taking care of them and a new baby. So finally, after a month, here are some pictures.

Kaitlyn, Kylie, and Madalyn after a shower.


The girls the Sunday before Valentine's Day.


Thomas and Makenna










This is actually a big yawn, but it looks like she's crying and I thought it was cute.




Makenna and Kaitlyn got matching dresses from Santa.

(Note to self: Don't try to take pictures of a 22 month-old after one o'clock church and she hasn't napped.)



Even though these didn't come out as cute as I wanted, I like them because it reminds me of pictures I took of Kylie and Madalyn who were 16 months apart. Those were such fun days. :)


Nathan enjoying Makenna on his paternity leave. Although he had plenty of work to catch up on, he was a huge help around the house and fun for the kids to play with.












Nathan has always loved rockets and he found this one, the Blackbird, which was around when he was a child but has been discontinued. When he found it at a local store he bought the last one and was so excited to put it together for a little treat on his paternity leave. Here it is before he painted it.

Launching it on President's Day.

It was probably the coldest day all month, unfortunately.

Still, we had a great time having dinner and FHE at the park. Nathan also lauched another rocket he has and neither one landed in a tree! (His favorite, Saturn V, landed in a tree last year and is gone.)


Spencer and Nathan made a rocket cake for the cake decorating competition for the blue and gold banquet. They won the "Out of this world" award.

Wearing new matching dresses I got them because I had to take back the matching dresses Santa got the older girls because they were too short. Kaitlyn and Makenna's don't match, but they're close.

Madalyn and Makenna


Nathan wanted a picture with his "Precious." Out of all of our children she'd be the one to most likely be called a daddy's girl.
