Zoo Time!

Devin had a week off of school for spring break. He still studied some, but we were able to spend some time together as a family as well. As you can tell, Mckenna LOVES the zoo. Especially when she gets to feed the goats and llama.

Will Spring Ever Come?

This winter, we had to plan many activities to keep both of us busy.



Good thing Mckenna is self-entertaining and easy to please.



She stays very happy as long as we have dress up clothes ... and some food, of course.

January

Surprise, surprise... I am behind once again! :) Hopefully in the next few days, I will be able to update a little bit of what we have been doing the last few months.

Mckenna now demands to do things "all by fy-self". Sometimes, it doesn't work out so well and she needs help anyways.




We spent a week or so in January staying home and


Potty Training! :) haha it was a lot more stressful than I expected it to be, but Mckenna did great and hardly ever has accidents.



We occasionally decided to be brave and go out of the house. To this day, Mckenna has never had an accident while we are out of the house. (knock on wood, quick!)

She sure loves to swing!


I'm sure all of you know this by now, but we are expecting another little girl this summer! The pregnancy has been really easy so far. It is going by so fast and we can't wait to have our second little girl join the family!

Also, we got released from being Sunbeam teachers in our ward. We really enjoyed that calling. But, I was pleased to be able to remain in Primary as the Primary Secretary. Devin was called as the Elder's Quorum Secretary. We went from Sunbeams to Secretaries :)

Christmas!

Christmas isn't Christmas without going to the cabin! (Warning: Their are a LOT of pictures!)




We used the roof as a sledding hill and had a lot of fun!














we even got dad to go!


How many can fit in one kennel?


Lovin the snow at the cabin!












gingerbread houses...


and soaking up Mckenna's first cousin on the Collins side




So, as you know, I'm behind... once again! So there are a few posts below, keep reading!

Spending Time with Dad

Before Mckenna and I went home to Idaho for Christmas, we went to Monkey Joe's with Dad! They have a lot of blow up jumping toys and slides. Mckenna loved it! (and so did Devin and I)!








Mckenna and I flew to Idaho about a week before Devin was able to come. As we were walking onto the plane, Mckenna started turning left and walked into the cockpit instead of going to passenger seating to the right. The pilot let her sit in his seat and gave her a set of wings. I think she was beginning to think that would be her seat because she didn't want to get out!

Thanksgiving in Texas

For Thanksgiving this year, we went to Texas to visit Devin's brother, Vance, and his wife, Julianne. Mckenna loved their dogs! She was with them the entire time we were there.


Whenever they were outside, she was watching them from the window.






Once we got home, we quickly set up our Christmas tree so we could enjoy it a little bit before leaving home to Idaho for Christmas.

Mckenna is 2!

Ok, so I know she turned 2 like 2 months ago... and I'm finally getting around to blogging about it. She is talking tons and is finally growing some hair!! :)



She weighs 24 1/2 pounds which is still about 10th percentile. But her height is in the 50th percentile now.


Some of her birthday presents.


You remember this couch from a few months ago? Well, I finished it a while ago but we wanted to give it to her for her birthday. So, we had to hide it for a while.


She LOVES it! She laid on it and just like this and said, "Picture, please!" It was the funniest thing! So of course we had to take a picture


Or maybe a few pictures! :)
