This is the most Jace has ever laughed and I only caught about half of it! I love how it seems so uncontrollable... Makenna, btw, can get Jace to laugh more than anyone else!

A tribute to DADS

We'll start out with my dad. I have so many good memories from my childhood of my dad...
My dad was always making up silly songs... Every time we were going to McDonald's we would sing "McDonald's is our kind of place, it's a hap hap happy place!" He always took time to put me to bed at night and I remember we would sing songs together. I always liked that special daddy daughter time. He was always a sucker for buying us treats when we went places- I specifically remember that he would always buy us cotton candy if it was available! I'm so grateful for my dad and the funny and silly guy that he is. He can always make me laugh. (see pictures below!)

Scott is such a great dad as well. Makenna is such a daddy's girl. Every day when Scott leaves for work she is so sad, and throughout the day asks when he will be home! She loves playing with her daddy. Scott is really good about taking the time to play dollhouse, make "dance parties," and he always plays along when she calls him her Prince Charming and want to give him "true loves kisses." I love seeing Scott interact with our kids, it adds a new dimension to the love I have for him!

Hard-working dad... he has done everything in our backyard BY HIMSELF! Way to go Scott...

Here's a pic I took today

Here's to all the dads out there that are dedicated to their role as fathers.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Photo Shoot

This is my favorite of Kenna cause you can see her exploring which she LOVES to do! Very Makenna... (Yes this is the best I could come up with!)
It's pretty self explanatory why I like this picture...

Sorry all the pictures of my kids! I borrowed my SIL's nice camera and have been taking pictures of my kids the last couple days! Today we went to the aquarium and botanical gardens. We had so much fun! It is so beautiful there. I just wish Makenna would pose better! Unfortunately I hardly got any good pictures of her, but I got some cute ones of Jace! Here are some of my favorites...

After taking these pictures I realized the lens had been smudged, so they are a little blurry- but cute!

Here are the pictures from today... some look a little washed out- I'm not a professional!

4 months!!

Jace turned 4 months yesterday! Crazy! We took him to his 4 month check-up today and he weighed 18 pounds and is 26 1/2 inches long. That's 95% for both! He's very proportional I guess! So he's just very large... He is so cute lately. I enjoy his little giggles and his big smiles. He found his hands about a week ago and loves to grab onto everything now and put it in his mouth. He also likes to be really vocal and can carry a "conversation" for a while. Jace LOVES to be held, and his mommy spoils him all day long by following his wishes. My arms are getting quite toned in the meantime. Sometimes I just have to put him down though and it's sad because he'll cry. What's a mom supposed to do?! I don't want him to think he has to be held 24/7! He's so sweet though and such a joy.

Here are some giggles I caught on camera- enjoy! Sorry about the spitup!

GRASS!!

I'm so excited!!! We have our grass in! After about a month of Scott putting in the sprinkler system and all the trial and error he had to go through, we finally got it figured out! (If anyone ever needs help putting in a sprinkler system, Scott is now the expert!) We had the sprinklers on a lot yesterday so we let Makenna run through them- so fun! She had a blast.
