It's a GIRL!!!

Here's her little face...kinda smudged up. She's looking right at you! That's not her arm, even though it looks like it. Her hand is up at the top of her head in a little fist! Both of her hands are up there!

Here's her little feet! Which are always moving! She's VERY active, she's moving all the time! That's why these pictures are smudgy, she wouldn't hold still!

And here's the proof, for you skeptics out there! =) We're thrilled to know that she's healthy and everything is perfect. She's a bit ahead of schedule with her size, but the Dr. said she'll just be a good sized baby like her brother was. Praise the Lord!!!!

Mackinley is 2!!!

Mackinley turned 2 today! I can't believe he's already a big boy. I remember the day he was born and how scared, happy, excited, and tired I was!! He's a true gift from God, I couldn't have had a more perfect son if I special ordered him. Here he is opening a present from Daddy...do you think he likes it??

A Teeny Nap

Mackinley's nap today consisted of about 20 minutes in the van on our way to his party...

Crazy Pinz!!

Mackinley had his birthday party at Crazy Pinz in Fort Wayne (thank you, Troyers, for the idea!). We met up with Mom & Dad, Korie & Chris, Kelly & Cathy, Kyle, and Haley for the celebration. We started out with cake, and then MJ was ready to go!! He and Papoo didn't even want to take time to pose for this picture!

Riding a Motorcycle!

Air Hockey

Korie and Chris playing a game of air hockey. I'm not sure who won...I forgot to ask! I think this was a rematch because Korie won the first time....is that right, Korie?

Bowling!

Mackinley's first time bowling! The lanes were so cute, little mini lanes and mini balls and mini pins! He loved it. He was such a hoot to watch because everytime he rolled the ball down the lane, he wanted to chase after it! Jason had to be quick to stop him!

Cedar Point

This was a ride that simulated 2 Cedar Point roller coasters.

The Ball Game

Daddy & Mackinley playing the ball game. I don't know what else to call it...you shoot balls at holes behind a fan thing to get points and tickets. Uncle Kelly won Mackinley 400 points worth of tickets!!! MJ really liked this game (so did Uncle Kelly!!)

DDR

Kelly & Kyle showing us their DDR skills!

Mini Golf

Mackinley, Haley, Korie, Chris, Mom, Dad and I enjoyed some mini golf!

That didn't go where I wanted it to!

Look at MJ's rosy cheeks from all the running and playing!

All Good Things Come To An End...

The party is over and it's time for this little man to get to bed! No nap, lots of cake and running and excitement all adds up to one tired guy!! Thank you everyone who helped make this day so special, the phone calls meant just as much as those of you who were able to be there in person!!! We're so blessed to have such an awesome family and great friends!

Chillin

This picture pretty much speaks for itself! =)

New Sweaters

I know we've already seen Mackinley in his new sweater from Aunt Korie, but both the kids wore their sweaters on the same day and I knew she would want to see them. I wanted ONE picture...of course Mackinley didn't want to cooperate but we ended up with a cute series! =) Thank you, Aunt Korie!

THANK YOU, MOM!!!

Jason's mom is moving to a smaller house and she recently gave us some furniture that she's not going to have room for. We got a new dining room table with chairs and two new chairs for our living room!!! The dining set is the same one Jason grew up with so it's special to him and we're so happy to be able to have it in our home. The chairs are beautiful and really make our living room feel cozy!! They even recline! THANK YOU SO MUCH, MOM!!!! I took the items we replaced to Korie so she can use them in her new home! Recycling! HA!

Playing

Mackinley still loves to climb up on the couch or in a chair, put a pillow on his lap, and run a car all over the pillow.

Supper Time

Just some cute pictures of our little man at supper tonight. =)
