Party in the Park

This was Mckenna's first year at the Party in the Park and she had a blast! She played with the other kids, on the playground, and walked some serious miles on all kinds of terrain. Needless to say she was tuckered out when we got home! Today was spent watching football and playing! Mckenna enjoyed her new shopping cart from Aunt Kelly. Sadly I didn't snap any pictures of her playing today but I am sure I will by next weekend. It is too cute to pass up!

Tomorrow is the big day! We have had many conversations today about what was going on one year ago from today. I was in a lot of pain and so ready to have her! I feel like I can still remember everything about it! Think of Mckenna tomorrow at 11:06, she will be officially ONE!

A Visit From The 6 Pack!

We had a BUSY, BUSY Saturday last weekend. Mckenna did her Momma a favor and slept very well Friday night and woke up at 7:30 Saturday morning! It was almost like she knew she was going to have a marathon day (with only a 30 minute nap!)! Around 9:30 we heard the soft vroom, vroom of The 6 Pack riding down Steeplechase Drive! Papa Ken, Uncle Jim and their biker buddies stopped by on their way to Nashville, TN. Mckenna didn't know what to think of them. She didn't crack many smiles while they were there but as soon as they left she was 'chatting' up a storm and was so happy! She was really happy to see Papa Ken, she held on to him with a tight grip and wouldn't even show the other guys her skills. Then she had her 1 year pictures. She did such a nice job and the process was pretty painless. We rushed home ate lunch and then went to a baby shower for Matt's cousin and his wife. After the shower we stopped off at Kohl's, then to dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings to root on the Tigers! Around 7:00 Mckenna was doing the sign for "all done" and she was ready to go! It was a long, fun day and Sunday was spent recovering from the little-to-no-nap day on Saturday!

Toys, Rams and Fire Trucks!

We had a great weekend. Saturday was mostly spent around the house and watching college football and playing with all of Mckenn's toys. Mckenna is getting more and more independent as the days pass. Charlene found the little people doll house at Once Upon a Child for a fraction of the price of a new one and she loves it. Many times we will look into the living room and find Mckenna doing this...

Sunday we were invited to Kelly's work tailgate party for the first Rams game. The highlight of the day was the appearance of the St. Louis Fire Truck. They stopped by for some lunch and the kids got to climb all over the truck. It was so fun to watch Mckenna, she is so adventurous and is NOT shy. She would just push her way around those 'bigger' kids to get to where she wanted to be. I probably took close to 60 pictures yesterday (I know, I might have a problem), here are some of my favorites...

Climbing the ramp to get into the building. 

So happy to be on the fire truck!

Watch out I have fires to put out!

We had such a fun time that Mckenna was out on the way home.

Two weeks from today and our little baby is ONE.

Labor Day Weekend... Iowa Style!

We spent the holiday weekend in Iowa soaking up some sun and family fun! We had such a nice time! The weather was slightly cooler than it is here in MO so Mckenna got to wear some of her 9month clothes that I thought she would never get use out of! :) Saturday we cheered on the two teams of Black and Gold, MIZZOU and Iowa! Mckenna and Brooke looked so cute in their gear! Jeremy, Angela and Addison also came out on Saturday. It was so fun watching Addison and Mckenna interact. They have changed so much since July! Sunday we enjoyed the company of Jim, Marge, Karen, Chuck and Katie. It was so nice visiting with them. We are so sad to see the summer go, this being our last trip to the lake for boating. Enjoy the pictures from the weekend. I know I do every time I look at them! :)

Grandma Neanie and Papa Ken love their little MIZZOU fan!

Mckenna and Brooke... the first pictures where Mckenna is not torturing Brooke!

I can't get over how big Mckenna is getting. I really can't get over the fact that my baby is really a toddler and will be ONE in three weeks. Oh how time has passed!
