Random

Alright...I am getting caught up! Again, mostly pictures as always :)

Getting into Aunt T's wallet. I don't know how she figured out how to open it.

Yummy Ritz crackers


So, since we are moving in May, we have been going through things and trying to sell stuff that is not worth taking with us. I have learned that when you are moving a long distance it is tons cheaper to sell most of the big stuff and just buy it again once you get there. Even though we are selling lots of our big stuff, it is still going to cost a lot to move. Anyway, so we started a moving blog of the things that we want to sell. We included our couch and loveseat, dressers, our entertainment center, and other random things. If you have been to our house, you know that our couches are pretty to look at, but not comfy at all. They are really springy and not the best quality. Anyway, we knew that we wanted to sell them for sure but thought they wouldn't sell very fast because they aren't comfortable. So, we posted those on the blog for a higher price than we thought we could get out of them just to see. We also posted our dressers for the price we bought them for to see if we could get that much out of them also. Well, the day we posted it someone called asking if they could come see our couches. She came over and I was thinking, yeah she will sit on them and then not want to get them. But, she gave me cash right then! I was so surprised! So we have no couches until we move, but at least they are gone!

The next day, two different couples came and bought our dresser and Mckenna's dresser (which we got what we paid for on each of them). And then just the other day, someone came and bought our entertainment center for $50! This is the same entertainment center that we found at the side of the road with a FREE sign :). We did fix it up a little bit, but we are pretty excited about that. So, it is nice to know that we won't have to take those things with us, but now we have to live without them for 4 months! :) We didn't think they would sell that fast! Especially at the price that we got them for.

I was cleaning out our entertainment center and Mckenna was having a blast playing with everything.


She loves spaghetti!


Yeah, I think she is done :)


She is pretty excited to take a bath!


Weird sleeping positions are common around here


We have started teaching Mckenna sign language and she loves it! Here she is watching Baby Signing Time. So funny


Often I will find her sitting in her room with books all around her just jabbering away!




Mckenna is walking now! She learns something new every day. She can say quite a few words now. Her latest trick is folding her arms during an entire prayer. She is so fun!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've checked your blog! :) I love all of these little pics. I think Mckenna should hang out more with Malcom so that he'll pick up on all her fancy tricks, like walking! :)
