Makena's Prayer

Before bedtime last night, Makena prayed and I just had to share. Every once in awhile her prayers are too sweet.

"Thank you Jesus for being my sweet friend and for letting mommy tell me to listen. Bye God, Amen."

San Antonio Livestock Show

With Nathaniel starting to work Saturdays right now, I am always looking for something fun to do with the kids. Grandma and Grandpa Mark like to go to the San Antonio Livestock Show, so we tagged along and had a good time. Makena rode a pony, which never happens. I don't think she realized it was a REAL pony. She likes carousels and I am pretty sure that is what she thought she was riding.

Valentine's Day 2010

The kids enjoyed opening their Valentine bags last Sunday morning. Makena is really starting to "get" all the traditions and it is fun to experience them with her. They each have a special Valentine bag and on Valentine's day they get to open all the cards they get from mom & dad, Grandma & Grandpa, Nana & Papa, aunts & uncles, etc. Plus, there are always a few sweet treats and other little surprises. It was tricky getting Marshall a bag this year. Pottery Barn Kids sold out of these Jan. 9!! So, I had to get on a waiting list and luckily we got one!

Mom was lazy this year, so we let them open their bag and valentines in our bed.

Marshall at 6 Months

A little late, but better than never. Marshall was 19 lbs. 13 oz. and 28.5 inches long at his 6 month well check. He is a big boy!
