This past week we were pretty busy. MaKenna attended her first Bible School, Pandamania. She received a certificate and everything. We had a great time, MaKenna melted the ladies' hearts in the nursery while I chased around 4-5 year olds.

Speaking of bible school will someone please tell me what happened to toting the Flags and Bible in and saying the pledge, or learning about missionaries and taking up an offering for them during bible school. These were all sought after positions the week of Bible school and now we don't even have them??? Oh and what about commencement service were you show your parents everything you learn.?

First Day of Bible School

All ready for another day of Bible School

On Friday night we headed to CC for  a night with the Girls and a baby shower for Emmalee. We used to be the ones screaming and talking 90 to nothing but this time it was the children. At one time I believe they were having a competition of who could be the loudest.

Addison and MaKenna

It seems like every time we get together we have added another one.

Andrew had to get him some loving, How adorable.

Just b/c this is adorable. Andrews "telescope" that he and Poppa put on his gun.

MaKenna is now 1 for 3 at weddings, We have attended 3 and she has had to be escorted out of 2. This weekend we went to my cousin Anna's Wedding. It was beautiful!! But T-10 to the ceremony starting. I had been feeling a  few vibrations on my hand which was in the "diaper area" And deep down I was praying they wouldn't stink or be loud once the service started (she has been known to disrupt a worship service with her bodily functions, that would be why she now stays in the nursery) Then I feel something run out onto my hand. And yes there was poop all over my hand, her dress and her blanket. We ran downstairs quickly clean up and put on new attire and rushed back up. Whew the wedding hadn't started.

Then the noise ceased and the music started and so did MaKenna's restlessness. the longer it took the louder she got. So once again she was escorted out.

One day Maybe just Maybe we will learn to keep our mouth closed.

Happy Father's Day

 Just wanted to wish A wonderful Husband and self pro-claimed "Best Daddy Ever" (MaKenna agrees) a Happy Father's Day!!!

 MaKenna got to talk to her Daddy on Father's day, since I am the unorganized loose my head if it wasn't tied on mother, I didn't get a picture of this event. She was soo excited to get to see her Daddy on the computer, even though he might not have been able to tell it seeing as she decided to pitch a fit b/c she was hungry, but she told me so later. She loves her Daddy very much and so does her Mommy. We are very proud of him, he is our hero and we can't wait to spend next Father's day with him doing whatever he wants to do.

Here is a picture of Zach as a baby I think that MaKenna is beginning to favor him a lot more although the pictures that I have of MaKenna do not really do it justice.

Zach's Baby Picture

Was That Really 4 days or just 1?? Part 2

Ok sorry for the delay in posting, On Sunday we laid around the hotel ordered room service for breakfast and then left around lunch and headed to Buda, TX. B/c if there is a Bass Pro Shop or a Cabela's within a 60 mile radius you must go, Right?? So we went to Cabela's MaKenna loved the aquarium she was amazed by all the big fish. Let me just say she will not be getting an aquarium at home b/c Momma doesn't want to clean it. (or should I say we won't get one until she is old enough to ask for

After Cabela's we shopped around at the Shops near the Hotel and then got ready to go to Dinner, But first MaKenna and Daddy Reluctantly participated in a photo shoot.

After the Photo shoot we went Back to Lake Travis to eat at the Oasis Restuarant. This resturant was recommended to Zach and it was Fabulous. We sat at Table 487 and we weren't at the last table if that tells you huge operation it is. The Tables are out on a deck over looking Lake Travis that is all the umbrellas you see in the back ground. The view was gorgeous.

After the restuarant we went To Down Town Austin to stand on a Bridge and watch 1.5 million Bats fly out from underneath it. Now I will say I was a little apprenhsive about the bats but it was pretty cool to see. You would not believe the amount of people who were there to watch the bats and this is an every night think. They even offer bat cruises, except for those it is recommended to bring an umbrella and that isn't for the rain.

Then we went back to the Hotel Room and stayed up as long as we possibly could in order to make our final day last a little longer.

Are these eyes not adorable Looking at her Daddy.







Monday Morning we were lazy again with the sick feeling in our stomach trying to stop time. We did a little shopping and then headed to the airport at 4 that afternoon. Here are a few final pictures

Telling Daddy all about it.
there were several other cute ones but for some reasonthey won't load

We waited until the last minute to go through security and leave his side. Once againg no words can describe how heavy I once again felt. The poor guy sitting next to me on the airplane probably thought. "What in the world have I done I got the seat next to the Baby and the crying woman." Thankfully the stress of getting on the plane and finding my next gate and all kept me from breaking down fully.
 Then came Tuesday morning. I always feed MaKenna in the bed with me for her early morining feeding. Every morining on our trip She would wake up between me and Zach look at me with those big blue eyes and grin and then turn to Zach and just grin. It was like she knew that was how it is supposed to be she was soo happy. Then Tuesdy morining she woke up looked at me and then turned to find Zach when he wasn't there she looked at me with this confused look in her face, then she looked again and back at me as if looking for an answer. Want to talk about breaking your heart. Now I know you might say she is only 3 months old but I know she knew when we were together that is the way it was supposed to be. That morning with her looking in my eyes reality set back in that me and her were each other's battle buddies until Daddy gets home, and might I add it is amazing the comfort a 3 month old can give.

   It was a great weekend and we are so thankful that we were blessed to be able to spend the time together as a family and enjoy  every minute of it.

3 Months

Finally here is MaKenna's 3 month post. A little late but if you notice like always I am post-dating it to the right date.
 

 MaKenna at 3 months you way 14lbs. I haven't measured you but we will get a masurement when we go to the doctor for your 4 month appt. You are growing so fast sometimes I swear you grow over night. You usually eat every 2-2 1/2 hours and when taking a bottle you are still satisfied with a 5oz bottle. We start heading to bed around 8 every night. By eating a bedtime snack and then reading. We always read one of Daddy's books and then maybe one or 2 more. You love to read your Daddy's books, when you get tired and fussy all we have to do is open up his book and you hear his voice and are quiet and mesmerized. After we read Mommy usually rocks you for a little bit and then lays you down for the night. You listen to lullabys and look at the stars light up the ceiling from the turtle that Aunt Ollie gave you. Then you wake up around 4 to eat again and usually again at 6am.
   We were doing pretty good at taking a 1.5hr - 2hr nap every day and then we went to see Daddy, and I guess since you were a big girl on the airplane you feel that you are to big to take naps now. Speaking of airplane can you believe at 3 months you have already flown on an airplane!!! Mommy was 23 before she ever flew on an airplane. And you did Great!!
  Mommy's Favorite things at 3 months.
        1. Your smile is absolutely adorable!! You cannot be sad and look at your smile!!
        2. I love it when I am holding you and you are facing forward and you look up with your big blue eyes to look at me. It melts my heart everytime!
        3 I love to hear you talk. And you love to Talk. The whole time we were in Texas you just talked and talked to your Daddy
MaKenna I am so thankful that God has Loaned you to your Daddy and I. I cannot believe you have already been with us 3 wonderful months.
Here are a few pictures.
