Memorial Day...Memorable Day

Today we decided to go and get Makenna's little ears pierced. We went to several places and asked lots of questions and finally went back to the first place and did it. She was a real trooper and only shed a couple of tears. But out of all the interviews I've done regarding piercing ears, everyone has said the younger the better. Anyway....Here she is. Cute eh?

What's the Deal Pickle?

Friday night mom and dad had us over to their house for a wienie roast complete with roasted marshmallows! Yummy! It was so beautiful that night. They live on a couple of acres, mostly trees and the weather was so comfortable. We sat out there for hours listening to music, talking, and laughing. Peyton and Makenna had a good time too. Daddy gave Makenna her first pickle. It was so funny watching her suck that thing. We think she's teething because she's got her mouth on EVERYTHING. She's not even eating baby food yet, but she certainly wasn't complaining about that pickle!

Doing the Dew

Wow Daddy! Now THIS is a bottle!

Mother's Day

Mother's Day was really special for me this year. It's the first year that Peyton has really had a clue as to what's going on. He woke me up at 7:30am to give me breakfast in bed...honey nut cheerios! Never mind the mess of spilled milk on the stairs or the mess on the kitchen counter...he was so cute and I thought that it was so sweet that he would think to do that. I rolled over to see if Brian was maybe downstairs putting Peyton up to this but he was sawing logs....ha ha.... Peyton also made a cute card at school with his hand print on it and he signed his own name. Brian gave me a gift certificate to a local spa and my mother received one too from my brother so it looks like a girls day out is coming up pretty soon!

I was pretty full of emotion last night for some reason because it seemed like every time I looked at Makenna, I started to cry. I am so amazed at how much love one can feel toward another person. Yes, I love Brian and Peyton but when this little girl came around, something changed. You always wonder or even hear people talk about how your love is multiplied, not divided with each child. I truly believe that. I am a very blessed mommy...

Makenna Happenings

Makenna rolled over for the first time tonight! We were all so excited for her and we cheered her on. She looked very surprised when it happened as if she were saying, "how did I get here?".
At her 4 month well child checkup the other day she weighed in at 12lbs 3oz and has grown to 25" long. She's in the 25th percentile for her weight and in the 75th percentile for her length! She's getting so big!

CVS Deal

I was so excited to pick up the Sunday paper and clip my coupons so that I could run to CVS today! I MADE a profit of $0.40 when I picked up all of this! I could have made more but there were 2 coupons I could not find anywhere from previous papers....just ask Brian, I was VERY upset! Anyway...I spent $31.01 and I had $11.74 worth of manufacturers coupons. Almost everything I purchased, gave me ECB's back (a total of $19.67) which left me with a profit of 40 cents! Whoo-who!!!!
