6 months in 60 seconds!

Well if you looked at the last post I did you would think that we were still swimming! That we are not! The past 6 months have just been a little crazy and many more things have gone on that have required much more of my time than the blog so it has been put on the back burner. I am really going to try though to stay a little bit better on keeping on top of it. (Maybe I will try to atleast keep it on the middle burner!) So instead of making posts for all of the many things that have gone on in 6 months I am going to do it Cliff Notes style and try to catch you up. So here it goes!

September started out with McKenna going back to school. This year she is going to a little Mothers Day out on Tuesdays and Thursdays! She Loves it!

She also started a little dance class. It is tap/ballet combo and she love it and has so much fun!

We also started some horseback riding. It has been an amazing experience and McKenna is so good at it too. She loves it and the horse that she has gotten to ride this year is named Spirit!

A very special blessing in September was the birth of my new nephew, Reagan! He is truly a miracle baby. As many of you know, Katie developed blood clots all around Reagan when she was 16 weeks pregnant and was put on complete bed rest. They weren't sure what would happen and how early Reagan would come. But God blessed them with a full term pregnancy and he is 100% healthy and such a cutie too!

McKenna and I were able to go see Mary Poppins this year at the State Fair! It was SO good and McKenna loved it!

In September we took a family vacation to Disney World. We celebrated my birthday there and had the BEST time!

McKenna and I went to the Pumpkin Patch and picked out pumpkins!

We also carved a pumpkin too!

Todd and I were able to go and see a Cowboys WIN at Jerryworld!

McKenna and I also went with some friends to a great petting farm too! It was so much fun!

This is McKennas sweet little class at their fall festival!

We had us a little Tinkerbell in our family the night of Halloween!

We also went to a fun Halloween party and then trick or treating with friends!

McKenna had a little school performance for Thanksgiving. She did so good and it was such a cute little show!

We got to see a sneak preview of Build a Bears new movie and got to meet the stars....Holly and Hal!!

McKenna also got to do a Build a Bear for the first time and made her own Holly and Hal!

We had alot of help this year with Christmas decorations! McKenna loved decorating the tree. However most of the ornaments ended up in one general location!

During the first of December Mimi and Granddad took us and Katie and the boys to Northpark to see Santa and the trains and all of the other fun Christmas things there. Here is a cute picture of McKenna and Reagan with Santa!

McKenna and Santa!!

McKenna and her friend Landry hosted a "Fancy Nancy" tea party for their little friends at church. It was just precious and so much fun to do and plan! I think that Tiffany and I had just as much fun as the girls did!

All of the little girls were so cute and "fancy!" We can't wait to do it again next year!

Amma turned 90 on the 23rd and we had a surprise party for her! I think it was the first time she has been surprised in a very long time! It was a great night!

Kind of random picture from the party but I just had to post this of McKenna and her twin! This is my 2nd cousins little boy Ryan. When I mean twin they not only look alike but McKenna has found someone who can keep up with her and who has as much energy as she does.....he also lost his front tooth....the same one as McKenna. Also like McKenna he did not loose it the "natural"way! Aren't they cute!!

Well there you go! 6 months in 60 seconds! I will try to do main posts of Christmas soon!! To see more pictures of these events you can look at them on my facebook page. I am so much better at posting pictures there. Mainly b/c it is easier! All you do is upload them unlike blogger which takes up so much more time.....hope everyone is having a Merry Christmas!
