Dads

Happy Father's Day to all the Daddys out there!

They all work so hard to support our families, to bless our children, and make our lives happier every day!

Today Mailey baby is two years old.
She is a mess and a handfull and a climbing genius.
She is beautiful and happy and hilarious.

Mailey has blessed us all beyond any words. She completely surprises us and cracks us up on a daily basis.

I have had people stop me and ask if she is my third...when only she is with me! I guess you third kids have some reputation!!

Here are some funny phrases and antics we have heard and seen as she is turning two:

"I taking a bathtub!! I taking a bathtub with Kenna now!"

"I love you, I love me!"

"Mommy, you hairs crazy."

"Tracen, get off a meeeeee!"

"Go now? Dink now? Shoes on now? Outside now?"

"It beckfast time!"(at 8pm)

"I need a baby, I need a milk, I need a puppy, I need a gape!"(grape...what she calles blueberries)

"You likin' me? They likin' me."

"You helpin' me wif dis."

"Look! Bug! Ya see em? Bugs! Eveywhere! I step it!"

"See friends?? I see em! They likin' me. Friends."

"Dis fingy. Ya' need a dis fingy? Open dis fingy for me?"

"Hug! Hug me! Kiss! A kiss!"

This child is just filled with happiness. She can get so excited and then get soooo upset in an instant.

She has pulled the dresser down on herself, she dove out of her crib, and decided to leap sideways off of the 4th rung of a playground ladder.

Her birthday present is a climber/slide combo everyone pitched in on, because she needs one, don't you agree??

She has no fear, but is not a fan of getting into the water.

As a puppy is nipping at her, she just hollers at it, "Puppy bitin' me!" and moves it away. No drama or crying, just gets it done on her own.

She still announces everything. We hear, "I climbin'! I slidin'! I fallin'!" all day long.

If she cries, you know she is really hurt.

She scrunches her eyebrows down in annoyance at us often.

She looks at you at random times and declares her love for you.

She loves going and doing and just being around people.

We love this girl so much!!!

Happy 2nd birthday to my Mailey, always will be, baby!

My girl

My sweet girl is going to Preteen Camp tomorrow morning at 5:45am.

How did we ever get to this point in our lives?

I am scared, nervous, worried, excited, proud, and already waiting for Friday to get here.

Pray for Makenna...and her mom...as she goes throughout the week.

I am asking God to really give her an undivided heart, all filled with Him.

What a HUGE step she is taking.

This is like the beginning of her growing up life.

I pray the beautiful young girl I know and love will shine through to everyone around her, and that they would see God's love in her life.

I love this girl!

Gone and Gone

Our internet bit the dust. Suddenlink was slow. My laptop was newish. The WEP key disappeared. Scott sent me a 14 message text trying to help. Today is day 2 with internet that works.

Yay.

How will I ever catch up???

No clue.

But I am determined to do so. Just stop reading...since you already have due to nearly a month of nada...unless you would like to be blinded by pictures of end of the year madness.

Recap:
Internet-gone
WEP key-gone
Life-running forward at a crazy rate of speed
Blog-boringly scrapbookish for awhile

Sorry.

To be continued...someday.
