Little Buddies.....Sometimes

So far McKay and Ella have been pretty good little buddies! They give each other big hugs,

They take bubble baths together....



BUT..... recently McKay has started to push his little sister over when she is sitting on the floor!! I don't know what to do about it. He has been so cute with her up until now... I don't know if he is getting jealous or what! She did recieve her first battle wound from him (it was kind of an accident, but it is her first REAL battle wound)! He was throwing his books out from the entertainment center, and one of the books smacked her in the eye! OUCH!!!(If you look REAL close, you can see the two little cuts under her right eye)

McKay's First Trip to the Dentist!




I decided that it was time to take Mac to the dentist!! He was such a good little boy until the dentist actually started to clean his teeth!! He was crying and screaming, but the dentist just held his head and was able to get the job done! I didn't get any pictures of the actual cleaning, but I did get pictures of Mckay cleaning the dinosaurs teeth!! The good news is that the dentist said his teeth looked "fabulous"!!

Thanksgiving

We had a GREAT Thanksgiving this year! Good food, good company....what more could a person ask for! We went up north for the big day. We ate dinner at noon at Lori's. I tried not to eat to much because I knew we were going to Payson later to eat...but I couldn't help myself, just to many yummy things!! We were able to do our gingerbread houses before we headed to Payson...and Mac loved that. He ate more than he put on his little house, but oh well, it is the holidays!! My grandma even made Ella a little house, so we decorated it her!! We headed up to Payson later and had some more yummy food!! It was a really fun night. We played scrabble, ate food, talked, lounged, ate more food....it was great! I didn't take one picture there though!! I hate when I do that!!




On the way to Payson, my husband did something so heroic....He saved a goat!!haha Okay, the goat wasn't dying or anything, but the goat's poor head was stuck in the fence!! Carl stopped the car, got out, and pushed the goat's head through the fence. I was kind of getting nervous because I thought the goat was going to bite him or something, but it didn't! It was quite the thing to see! Good job Carl!



While we were up north we got to go to a Jazz game with Phil, Jenny, Kieth and Hariella! We LOVE the Jazz, so Carl and I were so excited!! We took tracks from Sandy to the Energy Solutions Center, which made us a half an hour late to the game, but we still had a good time!Gotta love the Jazz!!






This year in Nephi there was a light parade and lights in the park so we took the kids down to it. It was a nice night...it was cold, but it could have been A LOT colder! The kids had fun, and McKay was so excited to see SANTA! It was such a fun weekend!! I can't wait until Christmas!!!




Six month update!!





It is hard to believe that Ella is almost SEVEN months old!! I can't believe how fast time goes by! I took her to her six month check up before Thanksgiving and she is growing like a weed! She weighed 15lbs 14oz!! She still seems so tiny though. I guess it is because at that age, McKay was 21LBS!!! She is starting to do so many things! She is starting to scoot!! She tries to get everything McKay has...and she LOVES her brother and her daddy! It is so cute when she sees Mac, she gets so excited and tries to jump to him! My little girl does NOT like baby food at all! She will eat sweet potatoes, but that is it. She gags, or spits out everything else! I really don't know what to do about that!! She is so cute, and has such a sweet personality. We love our little Ella Bella!

We LOVE Christmas!!

This year we decided to put up our tree before we left for Thanksgiving!! I love this time of year! We put up the tree and McKay kept saying, "lights, lights"! Every morning when he wakes up he has to look at the tree! I had to get a few pictures of the kids by the tree!



We couldn't really get him to participate in decorating....BECAUSE.. he is to obsessed with his new best friend...the TV!!! Really...the kid could watch Toy Story all day long if I let him! Don't get me wrong, sometimes it is really nice, but I can't let him do it all day....right???
