August 9th! WOW!

ok.... So call me the worst blogger in the world! I just never have the time! MaKenna likes to play so much! Always needs our attention! Which to me isn't a bad thing! Well, where do I start we took Her swimming for the first time a few weeks ago and she really didn't care for it then.. i think she thought it was to cold. I agreed with her it was cold for me! My Grandma Stark can daddy came to watch. we paid a $1.50 for 10 minutes of water! Kind of silly but it was worth it I guess! Here is a picture of MaKenna and I at the kiddy pool!

Here is where I would put her feet in and she would try to lift them out!! She didn't like it at all.. She never cried but really didn't care for it..

We have had a very busy busy summer, we went on our very first family vacation with my family. I hadn't been on vacation with my sister and her husband ever! so it was nice.. Weather was alittle windy but other than that was perfect. MaKenna did really good. We stayed in a motel since I am still breastfeeding. Needed to have a clean area to clean all the equipment! Here is our family picture from vacation..... Our vacation was on sauk Lake.. My sister goes up there every year with her husbands family. Lets see what else have we done this summer.... MaKenna is tipping the scales at 16lbs as of w week ago.. She looks bigger than that but our scale could be off to I guess...Also this summer July 14th to be exact, my nephew Jaden got a new kidney from his dad. We are so very thankful that the surgery and his recover has been really pretty good. Lots of pain but think he is feeling better than he ever has. He is not able to hold MaKenna yet.. he can only lift up to 3 lbs right now. Here is MaKenna at 4 months!! I can't believe how time flies with her! I wished I could stop every day with her!! She getting really good at the giggling thing. She also is chewing on everything. She has been doing that for quite some time now.. She does her rolling to side alittle bit.. not as much as I thought she should be.. she loves to stand and be in her jumperoo more than anything... she can finally touch the ground now. She jumps sometimes so much that i think she is going to give herself shaking baby syndrome!!

Today we had Darren's Reed family reunion. It was nice to see everyone.. It was the first time MaKenna met alot of them. She took 2 good naps and even went swimming... she liked it till she got splashed then I think she was cold and ready to get out! Her feet were like icicles when she got out! We also were able to get a 4 generation picture we Darren MaKenna, Grandpa Reed and Grandma Hemming. It turned out really good! Looks like they are all laughing!! I will try and post more often with all her changes... I really need to get going and update her baby book as well.. Darren goes back on the road this week to Owatonna, and will be working to get to Kansas City. NOT looking forward to that. It has been so nice with him home to be with us. He is such a huge help when he is here! We love him! Hope all is well with everyone. Don't have much going on this week. The fair starts this week. Darren and I are going to go to the Demo on Saturday night.. Have a little date night again! Haven't had one of those in forever!
