Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving this year. It was a quiet day at Willie's house with plenty of family, food and games that ended with one full and happy family :) I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted but I was too busy having fun so I'm ok with it. Mike did some shopping on Friday and I ended up with a new phone :) Christmas came early for me this year, thanks Mike! :) We're still finishing up the rest of our gifts and plans for Christmas but we're mostly done. This is my absolute favorite time of year and cant wait til the big day :)

Catching up :)

Well it's been a while since I posted anything on here and I've decided that it's time to start back up again. Our family is growing and changing so fast these days, it's hard to keep up! It's been over a year since my last post and so much has happened. We had our baby girl MaKenzie on September 5th. She was a whole week late!! Everything went well as far as her delivery and everything and Jaxson warmed up to her pretty quick. She was such a great baby and was super attached to me from day one which was adorable and frustrating at the same time. If I took two steps away from her she would start to fuss but all it took was me being near her to cheer her up. We took a trip to New Mexico to see family about a month after she was born and it was such a special trip for us. Everyone welcomed us and celebrated her and we had a great time spending time with family. The rest of the year went well. We had a calm winter getting to know our sweet baby girl and by spring we were ready to get outside and play!! We celebrated Jaxson turning 4 years old in March and it's still hard or me to believe he's not a baby. He loves to play and run and jump and yell and be crazy. He's such a boy lol. Summer came and went with so many lake trips it's hard to remember them all. Mike got a great promotion at work and he is finally getting the recognition he's always deserved. He loves working for Kimberly-Clark and we both love the way they treat their people and support each other. It's like a family instead of a job. We finished up our summer with another trip to New Mexico for Kenzie's first birthday and man did that girl get spoiled :) After that things slowed a little until we decided to put Jax in preschool this last month. It was a hard decision to make but I'm glad we did it. He's learning so much and I see change in him every day. Now we're getting ready for the holidays and all that entails. Thanksgiving is next week and I can't even list everything I'm thankful for. I'm so blessed to have an amazing husband and father to my beautiful kids. Family really is everything and I couldn't ask for a better one.
