Big Girl!

I'm not quite sure when it happened, but everyday McKenna seems less like my baby and more like a big girl... it's crazy!

Her long legs were hanging so far over her car seat so she is now in her front sitting car seat! She just looks so old to me!

Crawling is now way out and walking is the very cool thing to do!

All of a sudden she also started repeating things we say! Her favorite words...
Hi
Hi Daddy
Hi Mom
Doggy
Baby

Midwestern Events!

Midwestern has had some fun events in the last week!

Last weekend was the annual casino night to send off the second years who will be starting their rotations! Chris and I had a fun night out while some friends took care of McKenna! There was lots of food and you could win prizes with your winnings from the gambling! No prizes for us though:(

Last night was another annual event... Cuts for kids, where the entire neighborhood is invited to get free haircuts for locks of love! There was lots of food, games and auctions. I donated a cake and a gift certificate for a free specialty cake!

I'm pretty sure Chris wanted to go on this way more than McKenna!!!

They had plants for the kids to plant themselves! McKenna planted a green pepper plant!

McKenna was in heaven with her balloon and balls!

Sugar and Spice...

Sugar and spice

and everything nice
that's what little girls are made of!

Sunshine and rainbows
and ribbons for hair bows
that's what little girls are made of!

and we're REALLY good at making them!

Because...

IT'S A GIRL!

And we are so very excited... shocked... but excited! We thought for sure we were having a boy but it the tech assured me it is definitely a girl! I was so shocked when I went to give my sample... (ladies you know the sample I'm talking about...!) I forgot to give them the sample in the cup... I felt so dumb, they assured me it happens all the time and it was okay!

Chris got McKenna a sucker from the checkout desk in the office and by the time we got home she had ripped the wrapper off and had sucker all over her! It's okay though because it's a day to celebrate that McKenna is going to have a little sister!

Girl names.... here we come.... (again!)

Phoenix Children's Museum!

This week is Chris' spring break! He has simply been in heaven being able to sit around and do nothing! We almost jumped in the car many times and took spontaneous trip with ideas of Disney land or Utah... but in the end decided we kinda just wanted to sit and do nothing!

Today we took a trip down to the Phoenix Children's museum and had so much fun!

Chris and McKenna in the noodle forest! A huge area with a zillion swim noodles hanging from the ceiling!
McKenna on a polar bear and riding a bike!


This was a little thing you stood on and it blew a ton of air up at you... you can't really tell but her outfit is all puffed out... it was pretty cute, but she did not like it!


This was by far her favorite area... just some mats to climb on with mirrors!

Our little jail bird!

Happy spring break to everyone! We wish it weren't almost over :(
