Tennesse

  We made our annual Tennessee trip this month. We decided to try our handle on driving at night so that MaKenna would be asleep for most of the ride. So as soon as church was over on Wednesday night we loaded the car and headed out. We arrived at our destination around 4:30 in the morning. But I will say driving at night was a success MaKenna slept for most of the way and traffic wasn't bad at all.

   First on the agenda for the trip was to get MaKenna's picture with Santa. Well she didn't like him again.

I tried to force her to sit in his lap. I am a wonderful Mommy.

This is as close as she would get with a smile.

 

Dancing on the Table in Downtown Gatlinburg

We went to The Ripley's Aquarium which was amazing And MaKenna loved checking out all the fish.

 



 

On Saturday Morning Zach and I got up and went to Cade's Cove for a little bike ride. It was beautiful and we saw 2 bears and several deer and turkey's. Very neat to ride the bikes and I felt like I had earned my dessert for the day.

One of the Bears we saw.

Doesn't she look Studious. She stole Nana's glasses

Making Biscuits

And this is what Nana Taught her on the trip.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

19 Months

Well another month has gotten past me before I knew it. Let's see where to begin. MaKenna is everywhere and into everything, Talking constantly, and repeating everything!! She now knows how to say her name instead of mine, things are now "Keeena's" and every once in a while it is "Ma...Keeena". We have expanded our alphabet from ABCD and she will sing alon with you and usually catches HIJK and TUV. Other new songs she will sing bits and pieces to; "Tinkle Tinkle Little Sta" "BINGO"  "Fuzzy Wuzzy"
   We went for her 18 Month check up last month, she was in the 75th percentile for Height and weight so she may be tall like her Daddy. Although I was one of the tallest people in my class until about the 5th grade when I just quite growing.
  I am beginning to wonder if we are starting our terrible twos early. She is getting really good at throwing a fit. One she didn't get something she wanted laid down in the floor and buried her head crying, I just walked out of the room but was peeping around the corner and I saw her look up to see if anyone was watching. When she realized she didn't have an audience she decided it wasn't worth it.
So here are a few pictures from the Month to go over what all we have been up to this past month.

Rocking her baby

She loves Books!!

And multitasking

Daddy Took command of his Company and made Pilot in Command this month we are so proud of him!! Although in this picture MaKenna is saying did we really have to get up this Early.

Wouldn't you love to know what they are talking about. This is trouble waiting to happen.

We went to her friend Reese's 2nd Birthday party. MaKenna wasn't to sure what to think about Brownie the pony

Apple Bobbing was a hit!
