Little Red

At Makayla's 6 month check up she weighed 17 pounds and was 27 1/2 inches long. She is sitting up by herself now and scooting everywhere.

Keeping busy

She had a black eye in this picture, don't think you can see it. Mason threw a toy at her.

At the park.

He was kissing her belly and making her laugh.

Her first bite of cereal. She didn't know what to think at first.

It seems like this summer is just flying by! Another month has gone by and I haven't posted much. Maybe it's because not much exciting things go on here, just normal, everyday life. We have gone to the park a lot for Mason to play. Also to the carnival for rides and the fair. And Mason really enjoyed the fireworks for the Fourth. Makayla is now 6 months old. We go in Wednesday for her check-up. She will be crawling very soon, I think. She gets up on her knees and hands, just hasn't taken off yet. She's been on cereal and baby food for two months now, she likes that.Thats been it so far this summer, who knows if we will get out fishing or camping again this year. Travis is, of course, ready for hunting season.

Meadowlark lake

Last week we headed up to Meadowlark lake to do some fishing and have a picnic. We had a lot of fun, caught a lot of fish and I got fried, of course. My main goal was keeping the kids from getting sunburned, but I just didn't keep up with the sunscreen on myself. Mason loved fishing and chasing the chipmunks around that were hanging around were we ate lunch.


Makayla was such a happy baby that day.


Mason and daddy with all the fish we caught. I think we had 12, a mix of rainbow and other species of trout.

Mason kissing one of the fish. Goofy boy!

Daddy and Mason reeling one in.

Makayla and her sunbonnet. (Leah, I think that bonnet was in with the clothes you sent over from Alauna.)

Happy fathers day!

Just wanted to say happy fathers day to my husband and father of my kids, Travis. We love you! Also, to my dad and Travis's dad, Jerry, Happy Fathers Day and to all the other dads out there.

Kayla's getting big!

Last week Makayla had her 4-month check-up and shots. She weighed in at 15 pounds, 2 ounces- in the 76 percentile and she was 26 inches tall, which is the 95 percentile.

Handsome and beautiful

Just wanted to post some pics of the kids! Mason is really being a stinker lately when it comes to pictures. He won't let me take any of him. It's been awhile since I've gotten a really good one of him. He likes to pose next to Makayla, but only for a split second.

Someone need a hair-cut or what?

This is Mason's hair as of a week ago. His hair is really thick and it was just out of control. It has since been cut, and looks much nicer, but, it took Travis and I holding him down while my mother-in-law Karen hacked away. And he put up a fight. My son is a little spitfire and he was not going to do it willingly. Once it was done he got over it pretty quick though.
