Seriously??

I have stressed myself out and made myself nervous over something that doesn't even include me....

I know I am insane.

Now I have a stomach that's cramping on me and wont stop!

I hate when my body does this!!

Why do I worry about stupid things??

Why do I force my body into these kind of reactions over NOTHING?!?!

I guess I will never know......

It's So Beautiful...

Yesterday the Primary in our ward was asked to sing "He Sent His Son" For sacrament meeting.

Since The Bug is now in Primary she was supposed to go up and sing........... When they announced that the kids needed to come up to the stage i helped her to the aisle but didn't take her any further. I figured the primary leaders would be a little more through at getting the little kids up front...

They weren't

She stood behind all the tall kids not to be seen....

But heard

Once the song started I could hear her crying. I felt so bad for her. I kept thinking that I should have gone and put her in the place she should have been.

She cried the entire song!

No one moved her.

At one point I was tempted to go up there and get her and move her. I thought that would be a little overprotective stage mommy of me so I let it go.

When the song was over she came running down the isle to me Face bright red tears in a constant stream down her face.

I couldn't help but laugh a little.

She wouldn't stop crying long enough to tell me what was wrong until I got her to sit down she said.....

"Mommy that song was so beautiful, It made me sad!"

She is very much our sensitive one!

She has don't this quite a few times before and I cant help but die laughing every time!

Whenever she watches our wedding video she will sit on the couch with tears running down her face saying,

"Mommy Princess and Daddy King are so beautiful"

I cant even describe it to you well enough. I cant make the crying sound effects she makes! Its really really funny and so so sweet!

Another time she did this was a few weeks ago when our really good friends were married.

She was over on one side of the yard playing on the jungle gym they had and all of a sudden she is running up to me crying! I pick her up and she starts to tell me about how the song is so beautiful and made her sad and how Jessica, who was dancing with her dad at the time, Was so beautiful in her princess dress dancing with her Daddy!

She is so so sensitive and I love her for it! She will add a little bit of sugar to our spicy household!

Again...

Because I can.....

This was a picture Dale took of Riley Bug waiting patiently at Maks 6 month appointment last month.

I have been wanting to post it for a while but haven't been on the right computer to do it!

Shes so cute I couldn't help it!

Proof *edit*

P.S.-Check out those leg rolls!

P.S.P.S-I just realized this picture made her look sick.... She isnt

I just dont have enough skill to make my camera work....

P.P.S.S- Yes I know that onsie is too small for her... I retired it today!

Because

Because I'm the mother..

THAT'S WHY!!

Would the real Makenna......

Please stand up!

K, that was super lame! I realize this!

I was trying to think of a clever way to introduce this post.

I have never been creative.

Anyway

See this amazingly happy girl? Too adorable for words, Yes?

YEP!

She is growing far too fast!

She has been army crawling around since just after her 4 month mark.

She KNOWS how to use her knees and she is really really good at it but she CHOOSES to use her arms to pull her everywhere!

If she gets frustrated enough she will get up on her hands and knees and book it to wherever she needs to go but for the most part she uses her amazing upper body strength to pull her body everywhere.

Her chubby adorable rolly polly body.

What was I saying???

Oh Yeah,

shes STRONG!!

So strong she pulled herself up to standing last weekend!

Yep!! she wasn't even 7 months old and she was pulling herself up!

We were at my sisters house babysitting her kids for her for the weekend and all the babies were in bed and Mak was playing on the floor and Dale and I had pulled out a video game and started playing when I realized that Mak had pulled herself up to standing holding onto the couch! It happened so fast it took a second for it to hit me!

She fell down just as soon as she got up but she still pulled herself up!!

I thought it was a fluke....

NOT EVEN CLOSE!

She has been doing it like crazy ever since!

She is even starting to walk while she is holding onto the things she pulled herself on!

Her legs are becoming really steady and unfortunately I think she will start letting go soon!

Riley started o experiment with walking at 8 and a half months and decided to really walk at 9 months.

I was hoping that Mak would wait a little longer than that but I don't think its gonna happen!

We got home from my sisters house and thought we needed to lower her crib setting but decided to wait just a little bit longer....... Until the next morning.

Dale went in to get her and she was on her knees holding onto the railing.

So I spent the next 30 minutes changing her crib.

Now when we go in to get her from naps and bed time she is full on standing holding onto the bars looking over the top crying for us to get her!

I promise I will have photo proof later!

My baby is growing up so fast.

Part of me wants to just slow her down and another part of me cant help but be so excited and proud!

Since We've Been Gone

We were out of our house for a weekend and when we got back our computer was down... :(

Its back up and LOTS has happened so I will be updating soon!!!

The dark one....

Riley seems to be a little obsessed with death lately.

I'm not sure where it came from exactly.

With all of her toys if they fall or tip over she comes up to me and says in the saddest voice

"Mom, {insert toy} has DIED!!!"

This obsession mixed with her amazing imagination landed me with this situation tonight.....

"Mommy!! Penny and Bolt DIED!!!!!!!"

Meet Penny and Bolt This is her favorite movie at this specific point in her life and its so funny that she was imaginative enough to figure out that her red headed

Strawberry Shortcake

Doll and the dog I have no idea where it came from would be Penny and Bolt!

It matches straight down to the striped tights! Even though Bolt is a white dog..........

She is cute!

Even in her death obsessed state!

Dale said we should start getting lots of black things!

I am not so sure they sell many black Toddler clothes.

Spitfire

I Have a lot of words to describe this little girl of mine.
I could list them all...
But I wont.
Spitfire is all encompassing.
She comes up with the funniest phrases all the time and we have no idea where she possibly could have learned them!
(some I know... but I am not very proud to say how!)
Right now she is playing a fun video game with her Daddy and she falls off a wall and says...
"OH MY GOSH TO HECK!!"
..................
That's all

Are you ready to ruuuuummmmble??

My dilemma

Brand spankin new couch that wont fall apart 2 years after we get it from a rowdy almost 4 year old and a soon to be rowdy one year old. Or that someone else's nasty butt has sat on for I don't know how many years before it was given to us! I only say nasty because I really don't know the generous man that GAVE us his couch 2 and a half years ago. (did he sit in it sans clothes... disturbing) Also aren't every ones rear ends NASTY?!

(yes I shampooed it before we actually sat on it)

OR

An awesome almost week long vacation with The Husband to celebrate 5 years of wedded awesomeness (I'm not kidding!) sans children.

This should be a complete NO BRAINER but this is how much I hate my couch....

HHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

This is LOTS of hate!

'Course I love Dale much more than I could ever hate my couch!

And the winner.....
No contest....
Goes to the MAN in the right corner with the amazing blue eyes.....
(Too much cheeze? I'm really not good at cheeze..... It makes me slightly uncomfortable)
