beautiful babe and soon to be big sista! 

I think she's looking at a Toy Story reel.

Our snow man. 

It snowed a few weeks ago. The snow stuck and slowly melted over the course of a week. This picture is from our back deck.  

Makaela and Mommy read a book of nursery rhymes. 

Makaela finger-paints for the first time! She was mesmerized by the way the squishy paint felt between her fingers. 

Makaela shows me her painting hands.

Yay for the alphabet bus! Thanks Jocelyn.

Mr. Potato Head rules!

Sean, Makaela and Cat went out to Sebeka, Minnesota for Christmas this year. The following pictures are from our trip...we stayed Jeannie's Martini's house (Sean's Mom). We had fun at her busy household, did some wedding planning, shot guns and played in the snow. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!

Sean looks right at home with a gun on his shoulder and a cig behind his ear!

Preggie-Cat shoots a 22 and hits the far off can! What a great shot. Good ol' fun in the mid-west.

Yummy Birthday Cake!

Makaela turns two on Friday, Dec. 15th. We celebrate her birth with her first big birthday party!

Makaela looks at mommy as I open a peice of candy for her to put on the gingerbread house. It goes into her mouth instead...see next picture.

Makaela and her friends, brothers Ray Ray and Jake put together the gingerbread house as a birthday party craft.

It's winter time and this means fleece hats, jackets and pants. Oh so cozy!
