July is almost over?!?!

Wow...where to begin...I guess I will start with Nascar. We all camped out for the weekend (without the kids, thanks to Kim & Ma Jensen) for the races in Joliet. It was a great time and I think we all needed the time to relax and party a little. The next weekend, we went up to the trailer to celebrate mine & Tammy's birthday and we went boating and spent alot of time at the beach. Timmy Lee LOVED the water and Makenzie even enjoyed sitting in the water with her feet in the sand. Both of them love being outside. We are always either in the boat, in the water, in a baby pool, or playing on a slip and slide. I can thank Timmy Lee for getting me back to my target weight! The kid never stops. Finally, last weekend we went to Tenn. to visit with the Turley/Garza/Duncan families. It was a blast seeing the kids run around and holding baby Caleb. I loved watching Abbie & Katelyn, which makes me look forward to seeing Makenzie grow up :) We even got to spend a little time with Jim & Joanne too. It's been a rough month because we really miss tammy, especially on her birthday...but we are trying our best to have fun and keep busy. The two little ones keep us going all day and night. Timmy asks "why" about EVERYTHING and he just adores "Unc" Pete. Makenzie laughs, and rolls, and is our little giant. She is 15 1/2 lbs and is in the 90% for weight and the 95% for height!! Maybe we will get some height in the family?? We sure need it. I adore our Maky. Work has really picked up, making both Pete & I very busy. We won't complain though. Pete is almost finished with the basement which makes me VERY happy since we need the space. This upcoming weekend we are going back to where we got married to celebrate our 2 year anniversary, YAY US!!! My mama and dad will have Makenzie all weekend, which I know they are looking forward to. She makes it easy since she sleeps 12 hours a night!!! Pete and I are looking forward to taking the boat out in Delevan and enjoying each other without having to think about anyone or anything else. I love him.

Long Weekend

Pete and I took off for WI Wednesday night, before everyone else got on the road! Kenzie is getting used to the drive up there and even sleeps through the night after being in the car for 3 hours straight!! We spent alot of time with both of our families and got some quality grandparent time in for Makenzie. Grandma Char babysat her Friday and Saturday so we could take the boat out to the beach and do some water sports. It felt GREAT to be able to just relax for a couple days at the trailer. She went on her first duck ride, which was driven by Aunt Lil's boyfriend Matt. Kenzie slept through the fireworks....even the giant ones Pete set off right outside our trailer. Timmy Ray's parents came up for the weekend, so Timmy Lee got to spend sometime with them in Cortland and watch the fireworks that "go boom". He is too cute. We are getting ready for another long weekend. Pete is taking off Friday and we are going to stay in the trailer at the Nascar race in Joliet with my parents and Timmy Ray. Kim is going to have a blast with Timmy over the weekend while Grandma Char stays at our house relaxing with the baby. I am excited to have sometime for just me and Pete...but not that sure about spending my first night away from Kenzie. I miss her when she's sleeping...so we'll see how I do being gone for so long. I know she'll be fine!! She sleeps like a champ (usually 12 hours a night) and even naps two times during the day. We have found a wonderful routine that makes life seem really easy right now. I'm enjoying it before the teething starts!!
