Random Pictures

These are just some random pictures of my silly kids that I had to share.

These are my favorite! I think in these pictures they are about the same age and it was right after they had just taken a nap when the CRAZY HAIR FAIRY attacked!

Crowns for Prince Eli and Princess Mckenna

They love playing in daddy's sleeping bag.

Why they wanted to play under the table I will never know.

Bobbing for binks.
She got it! Hey but now it's stuck!

One of the many silly Eli faces!

The floor is cold so this is how Mckenna would crawl on it.

She loves her Cheerios just like her mother!

My New Bow

I told some people that I had gotten a new bow but didn't get to tell everyone until now. Keith and I wanted to be able to do some hobbies together and this is one I wanted to do with him. So when the chance came for us to get a bow at a good price for me we did it. These are the pictures of me shooting my bow in our basement. The main reason that the pictures were taken is because I have a very proud husband that has been teaching me how to shoot. He has been very patient with me and I think the results speak for themselves. The five arrows that I shot with the exception of that one random one down and to the left are all in a very good group and that for those of you who don't know much about shooting bows is a very good thing. After I had shot all the arrows Keith was very proud and had a huge grin on his face. He kept telling me he was going to get the camera and was giving me a "proud of you" look that would have made you think I had just given birth to our first born. It was fun though and made me happy too so thanks Keith for all your help and the fun gift!

Blue Dress

So I had grand plans to sew Mckenna a dress for Easter with the help of my mother-in-law Judy. She knows her stuff when it comes to sewing and she helped me get the fabric and all other necessities needed for this project. She came to my house to help me sew and the first few times we got some things done but then we hit a snag. I had to take the sewing machine in to find out what was wrong with it and because of that we were cutting it to close to Easter. So we decided to make the dress for her birthday instead. Well you would think we wouldn't have waited until the last week before her birthday but we did and once again Judy came to my house and we sat down to get to sewing. You will never guess what happened then! That's right once again my sewing machine started acting up and we couldn't sew any thing. It was so frustrating and until I could sit down with some one who can teach me how to use my machine I just went over to Judy's to use her sewing machine. What was really great was to see the dress coming together and really looking like a dress. I got the dress sewn as far as I could with so much help from Judy. Then with all that was going on in my life and hers she was kind enough to finish it up for me. Since once again we were running out of time for her to ware it on the Sunday after her birthday. You heard me right I didn't even get it done on her birthday but luckily it got done in time for her to ware on Sunday. So THANK YOU Judy for all your help in getting the perfectionist in me to not worry so much and just do the best I could. She looks so cute and the dress turned out great.

Mckenna's First Birthday

I had to start my post with these two pictures. Heather got her this outfit for her birthday and when I put it on her she looked so big! I can't believe she is ONE!



So here are some pictures of Mckenna eating her cake and opening gifts. She was so funny with her cake I tried to do a ladybug and Keith gave me the idea to put Oreo cookies as the spots. It turned out really cute but when she saw the cookies that was all she wanted to eat. So after she ate all the cookies she didn't eat much of the cake but did eat a lot of frosting. When it came time to open gifts she of course made out like a bandit and now has some really cute summer clothes.

Eli was happy it was Mckenna's birthday because he got to help open presents and eat cake too. Just look at that smile! When it was Mckenna's bed time she was very wired from all the sugar and this is the only picture I got where she was holding still. All in all it was a really great day and we had so much fun and are very bless to have her as part of our family!
