Can't Get Enough

A couple of weeks ago my sister, Becca, and one of my nephews, Ethan, came to visit for a week. We had such a good time. She is my best friend and I get so sad that we don't live closer to each other. I miss her like crazy, as well as the rest of my family. I've been so grateful that my parents and Becca have been to visit after Lauren's birth, and I can't wait for my parents and the rest of my family to come for the blessing next week.

Even though McKay has been quite the handful since Lauren coming (I think that's putting it mildly), there are a few things he does I can't get enough of.

McKay is so random. Danny has gone back to work, and the other day McKay asked where he was. I told him that Daddy was at work and then clarified that he was at school so McKay would know the exact place. After asking a slew of questions about basketball, bulldogs (the mascot), and gyms, he said, "Daddy wear football helmet?" I said no, but this surprised me because Danny doesn't even have a football helmet! And yesterday while we were on a walk, McKay decided he didn't want to hold his football anymore so he stuffed it down his shirt. I think this might of been because I was hold Lauren in the ring sling, but he was so surprised when the football fell out. And one more funny thing, McKay has just realized that he has more of a name than 'McKay' and so does Lauren. The other day he was calling to Lauren saying "Loren Bet" (Beth is still a little tricky) and I asked him what his name was. He replied with "PcKay Donald Pratt" (Daniel sounds like Donald in his words). I then asked what my name was. Without pause he said "Jordan." I was so surprised that I couldn't correct him. Smart boy!

And finally, I can't get enough of this little girl! I love her so much!

I don't love all the extra crying she's done this week, but I do love her little pout. She's done that since the second she was born.


We all can't enough of Danny. We thought going back to work would be nice, but we miss him terribly. We had a great summer, and are so grateful for his time at home. Good luck this year sweetheart!

And finally... this blog would not be accurate if I did not include this. I L-O-V-E, LOVED this book!! As soon as I finished reading it, I had to read it all over again. I was so happy with the ending, but so sad the Twilight series is done. Have you all heard that the movie is coming out on Nov. 21st now? I can not wait!!

Like Brother, Like Sister

McKay at 10 months

Lauren at 1 month

I think they're going to look like siblings!

Just Lauren

Pictures to catch You up

Well Jordan has been busy as ever and they say a picture is worth 1000 words so this is a lot of words.

I Love this picture. The Ross Family made this blanket for us knowing that I force sports on our children (thats a joke) It looks like Lauren is shooting a right handed layin.

This was My way of getting McKay to get in the sprinkler. He had to get the ball after he shot it. He also had to shoot from farther away. All the neighborhood kids stop and shot with McKay even though they are all 6 and older. McKay will get frusterated when they miss an easy shot.

McKay is a loving brother. As Parents we need to be extra careful to allow McKay some sister time but keep him from loving her to injury. Jordan's parents recommended we get McKay a baby doll. I knew we had to have our eyes open because McKay managed to hit the baby doll's head on the door frame five times the first day he had the doll. McKay is full of love and wants nothing more then to show his little sister that he loves her and welcomes her into the family.

This is Lauren in her swing. It looks like she is wearing an amazing dress but really it is just a blanket. On the topic of swings. McKay had a hand me down swing that he loved. Jordan and I thought we would spend the big bucks and give Lauren a new swing. Lauren liked it for a week and now refuses to sit in it. Yet Jordan and I continue to set her in the swing so we can get every dollar out of that swing.
