Happy Anniversary!
Mike and I celebrated our one year anniversary while we were in Carmi. Nick, Lori, Debbie and Papaw watched the kids for us so we could have a few hours alone. We watched the horse races and went to supper. It was so nice not to have to eat fast and take our time to pay our bill. We also had Carol make a small call that looked like our wedding cake to eat. Happy Anniversary!
Driving Machine
Mayson loves to drive. Most of the time it is just the golf cart but that all
changed when he went to Southern Illinois. We started of with driving PaPaw's mustang. Then Daddy gave Mayson a special treat and let him drive down the lane to Gigi's he love for driving just quadrupled! Daddy let him drive a few more times down the lane to papaw's too.

Visiting with Friends Part 3
After a great few days in Bloomington we started heading back south. Next stop Rochester.
The Acree's
On our way to Jodi and Aaron's we made a stop to meet them at Knight's water park. At first Mayson didn't know what to think but then after running around with Daddy he started having soo much fun. His favorite was the lazy river and the bumper boats. Mommy forgot swim diapers so Makynzie had to use one that was a little big, whoops. We headed back to their house and Mayson was in heaven with all the boy toys after being around all girls. Mayson and Jayden took a ride in the gator with their Daddy's and jumped on the trampoline. Monday we headed to Scheel's in Springfield to let the boys bowl. Daddy and Mayson even drove in a NASCAR simulator. I had some issues with getting the girls their outfits so we went with something they all had, don't they look cute. Makynzie is 3 months old her and Adalyn and Amelia are almost 7 months. Mike had to drive back to Bloomington to pick up our DVD player that arrived yet again a day late. While he was gone the kids and I took a much needed nap. We had such a great visit with the Acree's! Can't wait till we live closer so it can happen more often.

3 Months Old
I am little behind on posting on Makynzie's 3 month milestones.
• Makynzie weighs right around 13 pounds, which 50-75th percentile for weight.
• She is still wearing 3 month clothes but will be moving into the next size up shortly.
• We are still using size 1, but will be buying size 2 on our next diaper purchase.
• She is still nursing but has taken a few bottle here and there to get her ready for when momma goes back to work in a few weeks.
• Makynzie is an amazing sleeper. She goes to bed around 9 and wakes up around 6:30 or 7. Thank goodness!
• She is smiling, cooing and giggling which makes us all smile.
We are so blessed to have such an amazing little girl.

Visiting with Friends Part 2
Second stop Bloomington, Illinois.
The Mounce's
Mike and I are hoping to move back to the midwest soon and have began thinking of areas. Bloomington is among our top choices. What better way to check out a town by spending time with friends. Mike enjoyed golfing with Byrd a few times while the kids and I did some shopping and hung out with Sara and the girls. We even went to State Farm pool, which was awesome! Makynzie got to wear her swimsuit for the first time. No pictures of Mayson because he was too busy playing in the water. Mayson slept with Mommy while dad enjoyed the couch as you can tell Daddy had the better sleeping arrangements.

Visiting with Friends Part 1
It was so nice to take so time out of our trip and stay with some friends.
The Lamb's
Our first stop was in Columbia, Missouri to see the Lamb's. While they were working we did a little playing and shopping. We took Mayson to a place called Bonkers. It is a huge indoor play gym equipped with climbing and slides. We even ran into NASCAR driver Carl Edwards. Makynzie got attention from the girls and Grayson even got to hold her. A trip isn't complete without Mayson hitting his head and this one was a good one. He tripped and hit his head on the bed frame.

Driving East Across the USA!
We left at 11:30 pm on July 16th to head back to Illinois for our annual summer visit. Oh what a drive! Two adults, two kiddos, one dog, and a truck full! This was Makynzie's first major car ride and she was awesome!
First stop Denver, Colorado. We pulled into Denver and we were ALL ready to be out of the car. Mike and I thought driving through the night would be a good idea, we were wrong! I was so sick from all the turning around to entertain two kids and driving through the mountains. Mike and I were both so tired after being up for over 24 hours. We had big plans to visit the zoo, but we had I cancel. We all just slept, it was great!
Wednesday was quite the traveling day. Makynzie blew out her diaper all in her carseat. Then Mayson threw up just hours before our destination.
Up and at em early to head to Columbia!
