Another camping trip!

Yes, we did squeeze in another camping trip!  I had many of my friends think we were absolutely crazy going camping in October, but it turned out to be a beautiful weekend and it was a great time camping with Papa Rodney and Grama Verni.  Evan and my dad go deer hunting out west with several other people every year.  This year the ground that they usually hunt was pulled from the public hunting land so they were forced to find new ground to hunt.  My mom thought what better way to find that land than by all of us going out there for a camping trip.  This way the kids, mom and I were also able to see where they hunt and have some good family time, along with a little camping trip that we wanted to do with them, but weren't able since the cows didn't leave until October!  We drove up Saturday morning, after I got home from working all night.  I slept in the car while Evan drove.  We spent Saturday just hanging out; fishing, playing on the jungle gym, eating, campfire, etc.  The guys made it a late night with some fishing in a small thunderstorm!  I thought they were crazy, especially since the fish weren't biting...but they kept hoping!  The next morning we packed up and went to the public hunting ground where we then separated our ways.  The guys went to check out the new land and the kids took a nap while we drove back to the campground.  We then did a lot of indoor games (as it drizzled some and every thing was wet from the night before) and I napped as I had a call shift that night (that I thankfully ended up not having to work).  The weather was perfect and we're so glad we were able to squeeze it into our busy schedule!

Auntie Em's Volleyball Game

We were able to make it to one of Evan's youngest sister's volleyball games this fall.  Emily had a game at our high school, which was nice for us to be back at and a much closer, quicker drive, if only all her games could be there!  The kids had a great time, and Denver would have loved to run in the lobby with "his friends" the entire time!  It was a great game to be at as Emily played very well, which was a lot of fun for us to watch.  Emily's team won!

Watching Auntie Em like a big boy!

Wow!

Kenna and her blankie and baby that are her absolute favorite.

They are a must for bedtime and some thing she likes close to her side at most times.

Of course Emily looked great in all the pictures I snapped, but Makenna did not!  This was the best one!

Chocolate Pudding Anyone?

Makenna LOVES sweets, especially chocolate.  Here's her enjoying some chocolate pudding.  Notice the bib has been ripped off and now her shirt is full of it too! :)

Mmmm...

....mmmm.....

....good!

What?  Did you say you're going to take this away from me when you're done taking pictures?

I'm not happy!



Makenna's First Haircut!

October 13, Makenna got her first haircut.  There wasn't a ton that came off, but I could really tell a difference.  My baby girl has beautiful curls in the back of her head, but they seemed to frizz out when ever she slept, so we thought maybe a little trim would help with that and get it all evened out!  Her curls still frizz out when she sleeps, but once they get a little water to them they curl right back up!  I keep asking if the curls are going to stay, but no one will tell me, but I guess its hard to know so we'll just have to wait and see.

She sat like such a big girl!

Kristie, who also does my hair did Makenna's 1st cut and of course she did a great job with her and her hair!

 Denver wanted in out it too!

Too much going on I guess as I didn't get a good mirror shot or an "after" shot, but I promise lots of pictures to come since her haircut! :)
