Dress up

Makena's newest love is playing dress up. She loves putting on her Princess clothes and acting like a ballerina and a princess. She has quite the imagination. Its hard to believe that she is going to be 3 next week (oct 3rd).

While my mom was living Jacksonville, FL she got to be good friends with a lady by the name of Betty whom they called Betty boop. Well she was so kind that she made both girls (kena and Asia) these beautiful bags that have fun pockets and can be reversable and so my mom bought these pretty purple dressup dresses, Makena has had such a wonderful time totting around that bag in her purple dress that she even wore it to Walmart that night.

Playing with Tanner

Makena received this castle for christmas last year and has had such a fun time playing with it. Well Tanner wanted to play with her and she kept moving further away because she didn't want him to help her at all. It was cute so he jsut sat back and watched her play.

Yard Work

TJ was home for 2 days so he got a chance to work on the yard and get it all mowed and cleaned up since everything had died and then came back after we got some good rain stormes. SO Makena thought it would be fun to go and help. She had a great time and Tanner loved being outside watching her. She got bored after a while and was playing with a skateboard that was here when we moved in.

Sunday best

This is how we found Makena when we fianlly got out of bed Sunday morning.








We had so much fun doing the kids hair after we got them cut. Tanner looks so cute with his spikey hair and I love that I can flip Makena's hair out again. Thanks so much Tina for wonderful hair cuts

Tuskahoma Festival

Tanners first carnival ride. He had a great time




Makena is the 5th from the front, Waving her hand








We went to Tuskahoma, OK yesterday for the Choctaw Indian Nation festival and had a great time. We got to ride the carnival rides for free and had tons of fun. Makena and Tanner enjoyed it so much that they got kissed by the sun. TJ and I also had a great time. Here are pictures from our lovely day.

Hair cuts

There are before and after pictues of each of us.

Well I finally broke down and had Tanners hair cut. He looks SO grown up its crazy. We also had Makena's hair cut and she looks so grown up too. I also fianlly got mine wacked off and boy does it feel good, I don't feel so weighted down.

random pictues of the kids

Just some random pictures i have taken with the kids that I thought were pretty cute. The one with both kids sleeping we got home late from playing cards with our friends and both kids were asleep by the time we got home so all I did was take tanners shorts off and we put them to bed. Well this is how I found them the next morning....Showing some love to each other.

Bath time fun

Makena was in the tub and Tanner wanted to check out what all the fun was, So he ventured in there and ended up having a great time. His sister thought it would be great to get him wet and not just a little wet he was dripping wet. They were both haveing such a great time.

My kids

Here are a few new pictures of the kids. They are growing up so fast, I got brave one day and deceided to braid Makena's head. Lots of tiny braids and a 2 1/2 year old was not the best combo but she did well and didn't wiggle to much (thank goodness for cartoons). She is talking so much and its so nice that she is able to communicate with us and tell us if she is hurt and what not. As for Tanner he is a ball of fire, is everywhere and anywhere he can get. He is still army crawling but has crawled a few times. He is start to really cruise the funiture and is very good at pulling himself up and getting back down.
