Makenzi's first movie

Well it finally got cold here. so we actually for the first time wore coats. But its already warming back up. At least we got a few days of "winter". We have been wanting to see Tangled. so finally we did. The kids really liked it but Carter got bored right at the end and wanted to leave but I talked him into being good by telling him we were going to have dinner with my dad after the movie. Makenzi was so so good. I made a bottle when we sat down so I could hurry and feed her if she got hungry. She started getting wiggly and i fed her and she sat on my lap and watched the rest of the movie quietly. She has become such a good baby. I worried about her a dew weeks ago cause she was fussy a lot then all of the sudden she has been so good and only cries a little when shes hungry or tired.Image On our way to the movie I let my sister sit in the front and I sat in the back with the kids and we took pictures. Sim is being silly in this one.
Image Makenzi seems to be growing so fast! she is almost 3 months old. I don't understand how the last month of pregnancy goes by so s l o w and then the first couple years after you have a baby go by so fast.

Image Makenzi looks a lot like me as a baby. Except I didn't have red hair. My ears poked out just likes hers do also.


More christmas....

Heres a little humor. The website I use to edit my picture has all this christmas stuff you can do to pictures.Image


We spent some time with my mom and sister in the afternoon. I unfortunately didnt get any pictures of that :( Later that day my sister stayed with me and we all went back to
Scotts parents house to spend some time with them. We played "just dance" for wii. We even got Doug to play. He did really WELL

Image Grandpas loving on Makenzi... So sweet!!


My mom made these shirts for us. She is so "funny". We have a running joke with Scott. My family laughs cause if you ever ask Scott what hes doing he always says "stuff" so they wanted to make him a shirt that says that. So they decided to make me a shirt that just says "stuff" im sure you get the joke.....

CHRISTMAS

We had a great christmas!! I love christmas time. I love spending time with family. I am thankful for my mom and dad, they are great parents and have always given me more than I could ever ask for. I am also grateful that I married into a wonderful family that I love. I cant even consider them in laws they are way more than that to me. I love you all very much!!Image Cousins. After breakfast and more gift opening at grandma and grandpa Ruckers house they were watching tv.
Image He finally opened his presents after everyone was done and we needed to leave for breakfast at the Ruckers. He is our difficult child. But hes got the sweetest little chubby face.

Image I got a super duper nice camera from Santa!!! i am loving it but im still learning how to use it.


Image Makenzi needed some help. But she was very interested in opening the presents.



Image Dez got DS games and some project runway design kits

Image Santa brought the boys this big train set and table. They were two very excited boys when they saw this (well it took Carter about 30 min to get happy, but after that he loved it) our kids didnt wake up on their own. so we finally woke them up just before 8. They are usually awake before that but they must have been tired. We normally wait for everyone to come to the top of the stairs then they all come down together. But... I told sim to go use the bathroom then we went to wake up dez and before we knew it sim was downstairs in front of the train set. So he got a sneak peek before everyone else.

Santa has come!! My mom gave us her old tree which is HUGE and i love it. Scotts mom made us the Socks that we have hanging on the wall. Scott has had his for a long time. We added our 6th sock this year, Makenzis. They are so cute.






Image Scott is the only one from our family that didnt wear his pjs.







Image This is at the annual Porter Christmas Eve Party. We like to wear our pajamas. So the last couple years we bought matching pjs to wear.
