Makenna turned 6!

Makenna right now:

She always wakes up with a smile on her face

She is verrrry slow to get ready in the morning- I'm constantly reminding her to do things!  Maybe that's just her age...

Makenna's teacher said she LOVES having Makenna in her class.  She said she is so mature and fun.

Her best friends at school are boys.  She only plays with boys during recess!  For being such a girly girl, she sure knows how to play boy things like star wars, legos, and super spy.  She cracks me up.

Because she plays with boys so much, she has some little admirers.  I've had a few moms tell me that their son wants to marry Makenna... :)

She loves the show "Wild Kratts" and can now work our DVR player so she can watch them whenever she wants!  Good thing it's so educational!

Makenna has been a natural at soccer and has picked it up really fast

She is reading really well

She loves Barbies and Barbie movies.  Of all the things in the store she got to pick for her birthday, she picked a Barbie movie!

At least 3 times a week, she tells me "this is the best dinner I've ever had!"  She is definitely a very passionate and over-the-top person!  

She loves makeup and having her hair done.  I love that she lets me do her hair every day!

She is the sweetest, happiest, and friendliest girl I've ever met.  She is definitely a very special spirit.  I'm a lucky mom!

Spa Party

Makenna wanted a spa party this year which I thought was perfect for this age where they LOVE a little pampering!  We started out making hair bows.  Then the girls got to put green masks on their faces which they really liked!  Of course, I had the perfect photo op too!  

Then we split up the girls and they either got their hair did by me, got pedicures/manicures by Stacy (thanks SIS!!), or watched Barbie: A Fairy Secret.  I think they all loved getting pampered!!  Here is a picture of them with their cute hairstyles and nails painted!!

She had so much fun and it was actually pretty low-key which was lovely for me!!  (9 more days!!)  Sometimes I wonder if people think I'm strange for doing parties every year but I LOVE doing them and it's only once a year that I get to do that for them!  This was probably my favorite party I've done so far...

Off topic, but Kenna had her first soccer game also yesterday and she scored a goal within about 5 seconds of the game starting which she was SUPER excited about!  She also scored a couple more later on.  I think soccer might just be her "thing!"

Labor Day

I have been wanting to go to the top of the Sandias for a long time!  We decided to go on Labor Day.  It was the PERFECT day.  The weather couldn't have been better and it was so beautiful.  We took a little hike but Scott was nervous to go too far because, well, I could go at any time!  I've never gone into labor so I wasn't too worried!  (although it was labor day!)

The first pic is the last time we went when I was pregnant with Jace!  Now here we are pregnant with the next one!  Makenna has grown up so much!

First day of joy school!

Jace was so stinkin excited and I'm so excited for him!  I'm so glad my kids have been able to do joy school like I did when I was a kid!  I definitely have some of my best little kid memories from joy school!  The kids in his class are Daden Divett, Rex McCracken, Tyson McMurtrey, and Carly Worthen.  Can't wait to watch him learn so much in the next year!

Kenna's first day of soccer! I don't know who's more excited, Makenna or Scott!

The sexiest picture ever!!

Maybe you shouldn't even look... it's just too sexy...

This picture is not posed in any way...  He was seriously cleaning the grout like that...  now that is HOT

heee heee hooo

35 week picture

Pregnancy is going really well.  I am still comfortable which is a miracle!  The baby looks good at all my check-ups.  I'm still sick in the mornings, but I've found that protein shakes do the trick!  If I have a shake I instantly feel better.  The days I don't have one I throw up!  :P  Contractions are getting their groove on... I've had them for a few months now, but now they are more regular and uncomfortable!  Lucky me!  The thing that sucks is that I've never actually gone into labor on my own, but at least the contractions help me dilate.  With Jace I was a 5 and still not in labor...  As of today I am at a 2, so we will see how far I get this time before I'm induced again!  I have an induction date of Sept. 20th, but the doc sounded like I might be able to go a little earlier (preferably the 17th right after mom gets here!) depending on my dilation and the size of the baby.  Last week the baby was 6 lbs 8 oz. which was in the 70-something percentile... so not too big  so far which is great...  I can't believe we are getting so close!  I'm SOOO excited to have a new little baby in my arms and to find out what the hay it is!!

Baby Lee's nursery!

Here is a little sneak peak at where I'm going with the nursery this time.  Even though it is gender neutral because I have to, I really like the neutral look which is why I decided to tackle the project pre-baby!  I still have the bedding to make, curtains to make, and the wall hangings to figure out.  Can't wait to show the final project!

Oh, btw that glider was a NASTY old glider I found at goodwill for $15.  We painted it, and I just finished recovering the pads on it.  I love love love how it turned out.  The side table I found at a garage sale for $10 and painted the gray color.  I love how everything is going together so far!

8th Anniversary!

It was our 8th anniversary today!  We celebrated Sat night by going to Tucanos and enjoying a little date night together.  Then on Monday, we bought a new car!!

I'll take a picture of our actual car later.   I never thought I would say this... but I LOVE IT!!  

Well anywho, today was not too exciting,  but that's ok!  It was back to school night so we decided to go out last Sat. instead, but I found out today that Kenna's teacher wouldn't be there, so we stayed home...  But I have to say the parts of our anniversary that we already celebrated were AWESOME!!  I am a lucky woman to have married such a great guy!  I feel almost bad sometimes that I have been blessed to have such a great marriage.  I feel like I don't deserve it sometimes if that even makes sense!  I definitely feel so blessed to have found such a great match for me.  I can't believe it's been 8 years- it has FLOWN!  In the last 8 years we have...

I'm sure there is so much more to come!  Love you my "man of life!"  (don't ask)
