Busy Busy Babies

We have been LOVING summer. Between Swedish Days in downtown Geneva and going to the zoo, the Hill Farm, and Southern IL with all of our crazy cousins...we have been outside enjoying the sunshine and warm weather. Pete has been going on a lot of road trips, so Maky and I have been spending some nights with my parents and friends. Makenzie is growing like a little weed and her hair has, believe it or not, gotten even crazier. She looks adorable in a little pony tail and she is starting to laugh and giggle. Having a little girl is just so much fun. Timmy is talking ALOT and tells us his opinion about EVERYTHING. He is a little bossy, just like his mama. The boys are putting together a playgym for Timmy as I'm typing and he is really excited about the slide. We got to spend some quality time with Alex, Katelyn, and Abbie last week when we went to the zoo in Chicago, the Hill farm to pick eggs and picnic, and then when we drove to S. IL to meet with Eric, Julie, and Mandi. I have to say that our family is adorable. We've been up at the trailer in WI alot already and have already been out on the water alot. I'm really looking forward to this week because Pete is taking off and we're spending a really long weekend up North.

Enjoying Summer

We finally were able to break out a baby pool and let Timmy go crazy in it. His favorite part was maining just pouring water over my head and drinking from the hose!! Makenzie got in for a little while too and seemed to really enjoy it. Grandpa made sure the water was warm...so we were all a little spoiled...and yes I did get in with them!! I made myself do something for me this week that didn't involve work or something around the house, so I met Amberly for coffee in the AM to walk around Geneva Commons and then went over to Kandy's house for a visit with her and Jackson. I cannot tell you all how much I enjoyed the break!! Pete and I are taking the two little ones up to WI this weekend. Makenzie is going to stay with Grandma Char for the day on Saturday while we all go boating. Timmy Ray will be up in WI too, but he will be fishing with a bunch of guys from work in Oshkosh. I'll have to put new pictures up soon of the pool and boating!!

The Start of Summer

Makenzie is 9 weeks now and is measuring at 50% for weight and 95% for height. Pete's ready to start the application process into the Badger basketball program. She is precious and I'm so happy to have a little girl. We have been very busy but we are making time for the fun things in life. My mom and I went to a Tim McGraw concert last Saturday while Pete had Makenzie for my first night away. It was the first time that I was away from her for longer than two hours but Tim McGraw made it well worth it!! We had a really good time and Pete loved having the baby to himself. Pete is amazing... that's all I have to say. We took Timmy to a petting zoo and to the park yesterday and he had a blast. He is a little obsessed with cows right now so he was thrilled when he got to feed one. While the cow wouldn't moo back at him, he at least got to hear what goats and pigs sounded like. I think we'll be going back there again sometime soon. Timmy Lee and Timmy Ray both got hair cuts...so Timmy looks ALOT older. Pete is going camping with his guy friends this weekend while we head up to the trailer to visit Grandma Char and hopefully go boating. We are looking forward to going swimming at the pool and to a trip at the Zoo with Aunt Linda and her crew of grandchildren. Can you tell that we're happy summer is finally here?!

Welcome to our page!!

Well, I decided to join the blog world after putting it off as long as possible. Updating facebook and myspace is hard enough already...so I'll just try to keep this updated and not worry about the other two. We are a VERY busy family that loves to spend time with our family and friends and hopefully this will help to keep everyone updated as life goes on!! To give everyone a quick update and a little bit of info on who we are... Pete and I have been married for almost two years and we just had a beautiful daughter, Makenzie Tamara, who is changing every day. We also have an adorable and energetic nephew, Timmy Lee, who we get to enjoy often. I'll try to keep updating pictures of Timmy and Makenzie as often as I can. We live in Cortland and work at Catom, where Pete drives a truck and I manage the finances. Pete and I are blessed with amazing families who we spend as much time with as possible. I think that's about it for now!!
