Fun News!!!!

I've kind of already said this same thing on my Myspace...but not all of you who check this blog also check my Myspace blog, so here goes!!! HEHE

You always think YOUR kids are the cutest ever. And they ARE, so you're entitled to having that thought. But oh wow are you proud when there's PROOF that your kids are the cutest in the universe!!!!

What am I talking about?? The picture we entered in the contest with Picture People of Kaeleigh and Mackinley (the one directly below this post) WON! Now before you get all crazy freaked out...it won the WEEKLY contest for the FT WAYNE store and will now be entered nationally in the BIG contest. So they're at least the cutest kids in Fort Wayne this week! LOL!!! I'm still WAY proud (as if I wasn't already) and now we get a free pose!

I had an idea to use our free pose and have the kids pictures done around Halloween with them in costume....what does everyone think?? Any better ideas? Please give me feedback!! =)

Ok I outsmarted THE MAN and got this to work. I had to do a print screen and paste into Paint, so they're not the best quality but at least you can see them. This is the pose we entered in the contest! =)

Another pose of the two of them. Mackinley would NOT sit still! LOL

Mackinley James =)

Kaeleigh Jay =) She picked out the lady bug herself and was quite excited about it!!

Just Mom & Dad!!

Our favorite family pose

Another family pose

Picture Day!!!!!!!

We went to "The Picture People" in the Glenbrook Mall Sunday and had some family photos taken! I would post them on the blog here, but of course they won't let me!!! But if you click the link below, you should be able to see all of them. The picture of Kaeleigh and Mackinley (the leaning forward one) has been entered in a national contest!!!

Also, if you would like to order prints, you can do that on the website. But talk to me first, because some of you have prints coming to you already! =)

Mackinley has lots of big news to share with you all! First of all, he now has two teeth (his two bottom middle ones). I believe he's working on more, his nose is running and he's a little fussy and he's chewing on EVERYTHING. Also, he started using a sippy cup today! He's really doing well and learning FAST! I think he likes having juice to drink, too!

Kaeleigh LOVES Disney movies. She never used to care at all about TV. But this past weekend we watched "Finding Nemo" (twice), "Shrek 2", and "Cinderella" (that's the one she's watching in this pic). Which reminds me..."Finding Nemo" belongs to Kamma and Papoo!!!

I thought this was so cute!!!!

"Papoo" (Grandpa Greg) brought this bib home for Mackinley from his vacation in Wisconsin. =)

My friend Haley and I found this AMAZING color of lip stick in my collection and of course we had to model it!!! Oh, and the headbands, too! LOL

I started babysitting Ayden about a week ago. Ayden's mommy, Cara, is a friend of mine and she asked me if I'd like to watch him and it's been a joy!!!

He loves the window, too!! All the babies like to crawl behind the couch and look out the patio doors.

Kaeleigh was in heaven having TWO little boys to boss around!! LOL

Awwww!!! A hug for brother!!!

They're helping!! =)

They're both so smart! Look at them reading their books!!!

It was REALLY hard to get either of them to look away from their books long enough for a picture...much less SMILE!!! Hehe!!

Lunch time!!! =)

Sharing the...umm....I don't know what to call this thing! LOL! It has lights and buttons and a fish that spins and it plays music.

They seem to always want the same toy! LOL

We took a long weekend and went to Michigan. It was a great time! Lots of stuff happened and I tried to document it all here! =) Here's a family picture: Chase, Dan, Jason, Mom (Lisa), Owen, Mandy, Keri & Mackinley

Great Grandma & Grandpa Baker were happy to see Mackinley again!!!

Grandpa is proud of his little Baker!

I love you!!!

Here Grandma, let me pinch your cheek!!

I became a Godmother for the first time! Here I am with my new Godson! =)

We're silly and didn't get a picture of all three of us on Chase's big day. Here's the Godfather (and yes, trust me, they played THAT up!!! hehe), Mark, the night before.

Proud Grandma!!!

After the baptism, we went to a get together at Dan's parent's house.

I need to go see my cousin!!!

Here Chase...this is how you stand up...

What is this?? Let me grab it and find out!

Mackinley met his Great Grandma Arsenault for the first time!

He liked her! She had lots of fun things that he wanted to get in to!!!

We went to visit CW & Emily...

Mackinley and Ethan finally got to meet each other!! They had fun together!

Chase says...Hey! Who is this kid on my pillow??

Ok, well maybe he's not so bad...

Here...let me eat your head!

The three boys...just hanging out! Owen, Mackinley, & Chase

We got to do some swimming at Grandma Lisa's house. Mackinley loves his boat!

VROOOOM!!!! He asked me if Grandpa Greg could come in the boat with him so they could fish!

We had lots of fun!!

What's goin on??

My busy little man!

I don't even know what to say about this one...he just makes me so happy!!!

This one is hilarious!!!! He's so much fun.

Mackinley LOVES to look out the patio doors. He sometimes will sit there for MINUTES (that's a long time for a 6 month old! hehe) and just stare.
