A year of blogging

I have been blogging now for one entire year! This is the first time I've gone two whole weeks without a new post though... oops. This has been such a great way to keep in touch with family and keep our family history.

We had a fun Memorial Weekend. Both of the children had a lot of sleep issues over the weekend so we had some LONG nights. We took turns though on Saturday and Monday sleeping in unil 8:30 which was very nice. It was the latest either of us can remember sleeping since Mackayla was born. Our big project over the weekend was painting the hall bathroom. We took the wild wallpaper down a while ago and finally got around to painting it a light sage green. The room looks so much calmer now! We just have to find some decor for the walls now.

Mackayla LOVED helping us paint. She actually got to paint on the walls!

I think when most two years old ask their dad if they can help while he is painting a ceiling they would be sent off. Mackayla is a very lucky girl and her wonderful Daddy let her help him.


Here's the new paint job

Grandma Hatfield's birthday was on the 28th and Mackayla of course needed to make her a cake. We called her that night on the webcam and sang to her before eating the cake. Grandma is even wearing the necklace Mackayla made and sent her for her birthday.

Last week for school Mackayla learned about trains and cars and such. One day Daddy got to teach her school. He showed her the different parts of the car, including the parts in the engine.

We were invited to Doug and Carrie Tree's place on Saturday for a birthday party for Carrie. That night we went to a BBQ with some of Jared's friends from school. It was a busy/fun day!

Mackayla thought it was very funny that Doug let her push his face into his cheese cake!

I got some new shoes the other day (for only $5) and Mackayla couldn't wait to get home and try them on.

Just a picture of our little Bradley

It was so cute tonight, we were all eating dinner and Bradley began to fuss. He had this blue bowl that he had been playing with during dinner, and Jared decided to put it on his head like a hat. He loved it, quit fussing, and continued to eat until the bowl fell off and the fussing would start right back up again until the hat made it back onto his head. What a silly boy! We sure love him.
