Hike with Beck Family

On October 20, 2012 we went on a fun hike with the Beck Family. Carolyn is Jaron's older sister. They have three young kids like us.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our kids get along really well! It is fun to watch them play together.  

We hiked in our dinner and set up camp!

 

Carolyn and I rested on the big rock with the babies while the boys cooked the dinner.

It was a GORGEOUS NIGHT!

Cold, but breath taking!

 

 

How we celebrated her first birthday!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Makenzie is ONE!!!!

Makenzie has been such a joy in our lives. It is hard to believe that she has only been here for a year. At the same time, I am so sad that my baby is all ready a year! She is such a sweet little girl. Full of life and wonder. She learns so much from her big brother and sister. We enjoyed her birthday with family and friends. The night before we had spaghetti. Makenzie LOVED it. On her birhtday, we woke up and opened our present sent from Grandma Doyle. We loved the new outfits so we took a fun photo shoot! 

 

 

Daddy and Mommy made a cute Unicorn cake. She loved it.

 

 

Here are the best photos I got of her. I had a blast capturing the cuteness of this little one year old!
For lunch we met our friends Elli and Jessica at Mcdonalds. The kids loved playing! Later we made Halloween cookies and played outside. Makenzie LOVES the swing set. Jarons parents made it for a light dinner. Then we had the rest of Jarons family and our friends the Sebastians over to celebrate. We enjoyed the night with Carmel Apples and presents. The cousins played outside on our new swing set.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Another Hernia Repair Surgery!

Last March 2012 Lilian had a Hernia Repair on her right side of her lower abdomen. Now seven months later, Connor had a Hernia Repair on his left side of his lower abdomen. Supposedly this is not genetic. It is just more common in premature babies and boys. I got both! It was a really crazy week. Connor turned 4 on Monday, his surgery was Thursday and Makenzie turned 1 the day after.


Connor reallly enjoyed his surprise box from Grandma Doyle. He loved playing with his new toys. It kept him occupied.

Here he is all dressed up and uncomfortable.

 

 

At this point he was druged up and much happier. They are taking him back for the surgery. Overall everything went well. He was sore for a few days afterwards but that is to be expected. We are grateful that overall he is a healthy little boy!

Much thanks to our good friend Jessica for watching our girls early in the morning! It was much appreciated.
