6 months old

Happy 6 months to our baby! This has been the quickest 6 months of my life. Little Boy isn't so little anymore. We're taking him to the doctor tomorrow for his check up and shots. Poor baby boy.

BTW - Sean took this beautiful picture with our new camera. He is turning into quite the photographer. Go Sean!

Family Photo Shoot

Here are the pictures that my friend Janeese took while my family was here. I really like how they turned out. If you live in the Rexburg area and are looking for a great photographer, I recommend Janeese. Anyways here are some of my favorite ones.

April = Family month!

We had a ton of family visit this past month. It was so much fun. McKay loved meeting / seeing everyone and he definitely loved getting extra attention. So, my family came to visit over Easter weekend. Becca and Lillia hadn't met McKay yet so that was special. Between the two babies on different eating and sleeping schedules we didn't really do a lot - that and the unexpected blizzard that came that weekend. We had planned on taking some pictures outdoors so that didn't happen like we hoped, but we were able to get them at my friend's house. Anyways here are some pictures from their visit.

Our next visitors were Sean's mom and stepdad. They came up for Jamie's graduation. It was so nice to do family dinners with everyone and spend time together while celebrating Jamie's accomplishment. Unfortunately, I did not take a single picture. What was I thinking?! Sorry!

Finally, Sean's uncle Kent, aka Big Guy came up with his son Kenith to drop him off for college. It was a quick visit, but we were so glad to see him. We even went to their hotel pool and took McKay swimming for the first time He tolerated the water just fine.

Busy month

I've been meaning to post for the past couple of weeks, but I haven't been able to find the time. So this may be kinda a mixture of what we've been up to. First of all I wanted to share this super cute shop on etsy. My friend Megan put it on her blog and I loved it so much I ordered a necklace for myself. It's these great little tags and they will stamp a name, initials, sayings, whatever, in the tag. I got one that says McKay and I also got one for Becca with her babies' names on it. Here's the site so you can check it out as well.

Aren't these great? I get lots of compliments on my necklace.

Okay, what's next (Sean has on Life and I'm finding it hard to concentrate)...We went to Utah three weeks ago to see Sean's family. His sister Taylor is getting married and his mom, Tani, and Milla flew into SLC to go dress shopping with her (Taylor's dress is amazing! I can't wait to post her wedding pictures - in August!). Anyways we spent a day with them and it was so nice to visit and relax with family. We were also able to stop by my grandparent's house and see them for an hour.

Last weekend my best friend from high school, Kristin, flew in from Ohio on her spring break. It was so incredibly nice to have her here. I hadn't realized how much I miss having a good friend to hang out with all the time. She's finishing up her grad program at OSU in OT so she's always so busy so we really just hung out, relaxed, and of course, snuggled with the baby. Kristin was so good with McKay and he totally loved all the extra attention.

I think that's about it. I know I'm forgetting something, but it's late (almost 10!) and my brain has shut down for the night. I'll be posting again soon since my parents, Becca, and Lillia will be here THIS THURSDAY!!! I can hardly wait!

I love this photo editing site. It's so easy, fun, and free! There are some cooler options for the pictures if you're a member. That costs money, but I'm seriously debating on joining. I LOVE it!

Lillia's Birthday!

Yesterday was Lillia's first birthday! I can't believe Big Girl is one already. For her birthday I decided to post a few of my favorite Lillia pictures. We'll be celebrating her 13 month birthday when she comes to Idaho next month.

Cutest baby ever (well maybe it's a tie because I think McKay is also the cutest baby ever)

Upcoming Visitors

March and April are turning out to be packed full with visitors and we can't wait (I never pass on an opportunity to show off my baby).

First, we'll be seeing Kim, Tani, and Baby Milla next weekend when they come up to Utah to go dress shopping with Taylor

Then, two weeks later, Kristin will be flying in from Columbus to spend her spring break with us! This was totally a last minute trip and I'm SO glad it worked out!

Then my parents, Becca, and Lillia will be flying out the first weekend of April. This will be Becca's first time meeting McKay and it will also be the first time that McKay and Lillia meet! We can't wait (33 more days!).

Finally, how can I end a post without at least one current picture of my Little Boy? Here is my happy baby. I love McKay!
