Makynzie Reese Aslinger

I am so excited to finally get a chance to post about the arrival of our baby girl. Makynzie was born on April 23rd at 4:42pm. She weight 7 pounds 8 ounces and was 20 inches long. Makynzie is named after my great Aunt Evelyn (her maiden name was Mckenzie) and my grandpa Kenny. Makynzie means son of Kenneth. We are so blessed to have such a beautiful and healthy baby girl.

July 2011
Mike and I tied the knot on July 30th. We had a beautiful outdoor wedding at the Discovery Lodge in Evansville, IN. We were able to head home for a week or so before the wedding to spend time with our family and friends and get a few last minute things wrapped up before the big day. On the way home we made a few stops and enjoyed some family time before the crazy wedding weekend. We stopped in Denver, Colorado, one of our favorite cities. We planned on hitting up the zoo, but it was soo hot, so we skipped the zoo and got on stub hub. The Rockies were playing the Braves, which is Mike's favorite baseball team. It was so awesome to be able to take Mayson to his first baseball game and for him to see his Daddy's favorite team.

First baseball game.

Boo the Braves lost.
While we ere home family and friends really helped out with watching Mayson and helping with all the DIY projects that I had planned. We had a few little hiccups which I think happens with all weddings. The air went out at the rehearsal dinner, which made it very very hot, but the food was so amazing that it made it some what bearable. The night before the wedding, as we were trying to get Mayson ready for bed, he fell and hit his head. I thought he was going to the ER, and of course my emotions were so crazy I freaked. He had a HUGE bump, but thankfully his hair was long enough to cover the damage. The day of the wedding went pretty smooth. We had a rain storm come through about 1 hour before the wedding, it's good luck to have rain on your wedding day though right. With the rain we weren't able to finish all of the pictures, but Laura did such an amazing job with all the rest it was totally fine.

My two favorite guys all dressed up. They had matching suits and even matching ties.

Love this!

These are a few from Mike and I seeing each other for the first time.

We headed out to Bosse Field for some pictures. Mike and some of his groomsmen were college baseball teammates.

Catching Up!

So much has happened over the last 6 months for the Aslinger family, and as you can tell I have not been blogging. I am going to try to review the last few months.

Shoulder Rides, Suckers!

Well I didn't know Friday's haircut would have to turn into Mayson sitting on his daddy's shoulders, receiving a sucker for each hand and one for his mouth to just get his haircut, but it did. Mike is such an amazing daddy. He set in the chair with Mayson on his shoulders, just so he could get a haircut. It is a little crooked but hey the mullet is gone.



His first sucker, I think he is hooked.

Mommy is a SLACKER!!

Well it has been over 4 months since I have posted anything. The boys are both asleep so I am going to try to catch up! I am back dating so be sure to go down and look at everything that has happened since February.

Poor Buddy

Well Mommy was so excited today to take Mayson over to My Gym! I had class all week so it was my first chance to take Mayson to class. Well we got there early so we walked around the District till it was time to start the class. It gave me a little time to window shop and Mayson a little time to run around. Well he was running in front of me and tripped over the brick pavers. He falls at home outside all the time and usually catches himself, but not today. He was screaming and when I went to pick him up I saw the blood. I did the best I could not to totally freak out. We went back into My Gym to get him cleaned up. He was such a trooper, Mommy on the other hand not so much. We left and I took him to see his Daddy, I felt like the worst Mommy in the world for letting him fall. I was reminded frequently that boys will be boys and this won't be his last busted lip.

Family Day

I took the day off and enjoyed the day with my guys. We enrolled Mayson in My Gym and I wanted to be able to watch him enjoy his first day. My Gym has classes and open play times where we can go to allow for him to run around like crazy during the hot summer months, meet some friends, and enhance his motor skills. Mike will be taking him to his class since I will stil be in school, but when summer comes mommy will get to take him to more than the free plays.

Mayson has no fear... He just runs and climbs on everything there.
