Makayla's 2 Year Pictures

Ashley came out to take Makayla's 2 Year pictures and the kids did so well. It was amazing. Aiden was all into posing and coming up with his own poses. Makayla didn't want anything to do with it but we got tons of great shots anyway.

This is my favorite picture of Kayla. It is a really hard choice though. I think I need more wall space so I can hang more!

This look says it all. The true Makayla caught on camera!

My favorite shot of Aiden.

Aiden and his weird scary faces. I think there were a lot of them.

Aiden showing his true colors.

I'm not sure about this picture. I really like it but I think that he looks so grown up! It makes me so sad.

Makayla and Rocky.

Both of my kids in the same picture & smiling! That hasn't happened since Makayla was a baby and couldn't do anything about it. Yeah!

Makayla's early Birthday present that worked great for a picture prop.

Aiden & Carter's Sleepover

Aiden got to have Carter over for a sleepover for the first time last night. They had such a great time together. They were so excited to sleep in the tent that they asked me if they could go to bed at 7:50! Of course I said yes and they had so much fun playing with flashlights.

They were so funny, they ended up sleeping in Aiden's little toddler bed. It was so cute. They were really squished together but slept all night long.

Our Girly Girl

Makayla loves having tea parties with her babies and her bunny. All day long she sets it all up and feeds them and just has a great time. She is turning into such a girly girl. I love it! ! ! She is so fun to watch, Aiden is normally right there next to her having a tea party too! So cute, he loves his sister and always is willing to play anything with her.

Pretty little Tinkerbell. She got a Tinkerbell costume for Christmas and just loves wearing it. She looks so pretty and sweet in it.

Christmas Party Fun

Christmas this year was very busy, but lots of fun. The kids did very well and had so much fun at all the parties and opening all their gifts. They were very spoiled by everyone. Our Christmas Day we spent at The Seigman's for the family party. The whole family was able to get together and have a great day together.

Makayla really focused on her present (she looks just like Aiden when her tongue is hanging out.) Ava was so nice as to give her a pretty bow for her hair.

Poor Weston opened his gift and got totally attacked by other kids wanting to play with it. He was so sweet he didn't even care.

We had Christmas with the VanDenTop's on the 23rd this year. It was a very nice party. The kids were so excited to open all the gifts.

The boys wouldn't really let anyone open their own present, always having to help everyone else too. Luckily no one really cared.

Kayla trying to open her first My Little Pony. She is really getting into all her girly toys, I love watching her play with babies!

Daddy helping Aiden with his present.

Aiden was so excited to get his own Combine! ! He uses it to chop and be just like Daddy. What a perfect gift for him, the funniest part is Makayla watches for Aiden to go out of the room and then she quickly starts to play with it.

Thoughtful Aunt Jessie packed lots of present with poppers for the kids to jump on. It was one of the highlights of their night. Makayla wouldn't go home without some, she thought that was part of her gift.

Aunt Jessie got Makayla a nail polish kit. It is adorable and she LOVES it so much. She looks at it all the time saying, 'pretty'.

Aunt Jessie trying it out for her. It came with a little nail dryer and everything.

Our little family party. We ended up doing our family party on Saturday morning. it was great, the kids were able to sleep in and then open presents and have the whole day to play with them. We didn't plan anything that day so we could just relax and have fun with all the new toys.

Kayla sitting on her pile ready to open them.

We got Makayla a doll stroller, cradle and high chair. She is always feeding her babies and pushing them around the house. It is so cute!

Aiden got new play dough stuff and Mouse Trap, he is so excited about all his new games and toys.

We hope you all had a great Christmas as well! Get ready for New Years.

The Wild & Crazy Zoo

My friend Stacy called this morning and asked me to babysit. So on top of the 2 kids I already babysit I had 3 more. The kids all played so nice and had a great play date. They were all so well behaved and played so nice, we had a great morning together.

Aiden helping out with baby Jaxx.

The little kids trying to play with the baby. They both loved him so much and 'helped' just a little to much. Luckily he has 2 big sisters and is used to it.

Little Jaxx is only 7 months and is crawling all over the place. He looked so little to be moving around so much.

All the girls ganging up on Aiden. (I don't think that he hated it.)

A full table of kids for lunch.

And best of all Mike brought a duck to the back door for the kids to see. It was injured but very well disguised. The kids had so much fun looking at the duck and petting it. In this picture I think it is biting Mike. Haha, he totally deserved it.

The Wedding Is Over And The Wierdo's Come Out

We were cleaning up after Nate and Kassie's wedding and things got a little crazy. The boys definatly had a lot of fun singing their hearts out, and the kids played so nicely even when it was way past their bedtime.

Kausten and Makayla playing nicely. That doesn't always happen, but when it does we need to get pictures to prove it.

Sweet Devi keeping Kayla entertained, don't cross your legs around Kayla unless you are willing to give her a ride.

Mike ripping it up.

Really getting into it.
