Kenzie's 14!!!

And just like that, she's no longer our little girl!  She has grown up to be a beautiful young woman and I just can't believe how much she has grown, inside and out.  This was an even birthday so she was able to have a party and being new to the area thought it was a great way for her to get to know kids in the area better.  

 We set up a photo booth and the girls just went for it. I didn't see any of the pictures until the next day.  Some of them were pretty hilarious.

 Being a teen party, I didn't really plan anything because all they want to do is hang out.  So I was prepared with food and let them be creative.  They decided they needed to out back and practiced cheer leading lifts.

 Then went to Sky's car and rock out to some tunes.

 Literally crammed everyone in the car.  It was pretty awesome.

 These girls were great.

 And we couldn't forget the cutest of party!  Figured he needed a unibrow-stache.

 She really wanted an ice cream cake but I really didn't want to make a huge one so we decided to make it for her real birthday. Happy Birthday McKenzie!  Thanks for making us old!!!

McKay 5 months!

Kay Kay is getting harder and harder to shoot.  I can hear his inner monologue..."Oh wait, you want me to sit still for 2 seconds...HA! Good luck!!!"

 He sure is cute and totally worth every crazy minute!

This year instead of buying picture packets I bought the rights to the pictures so I could do what I like with them.  So here they are

McKenzie 8th grade

 Morgan 6th grade

Micah 4th grade

 Malia 2nd grade

McKay 4 months!!

This little stinker won't stop growing.  What a cute little man he's becoming. Masie is calling him Kay for now, that Mc part is hard for a 2 year old.   

 He's so hard to take pics of.  He wiggles so much that the block (even taped down) start sliding around.

Morgan's 11!!!

Morgan's birthday landed over labor day weekend this year and so we decided to make a fun weekend out of it and go visit our friends, the Jorgensen's (or the Matney's if you talk to Makahil) who live only 2 hours away in Louisville.  When we found out we were moving to Indy, we were so excited because they had just moved to KY about a year before.  Neither of us had family that close anymore and since we have considered each other family, it made it much that better.   We tried to go down whenever we could and Morgan's birthday happened to be one of those weekends.  This first pic was after Morgan's middle school shots.  She had to get them a year earlier than McKenzie since middle school starts in 6th and not 7th in Indy.  This was her pretend sad face.  She was a trooper and didn't cry at all.

 We tried to do some fun things for Morgie's bday.  We went to little farm/zoo thing.  They had all sorts of animals to see. Taylor was a little terrified of the chickens getting too close.

 Of course we had to have a cake.

 We also headed to the Louisville Temple after church to check it out.

It was a fun weekend, thanks Matney for letting us celebrate with you!!!

Malia's 7!!!

This little girl turned 7!!! Unfortunately for her, it was a school day.  It was still a fun day.  I made her, her pancakes...

And she wanted a tiered cake.

 And at the end of it all she got a new bike.  She was pretty excited to have to squat anymore to ride her bike.  

This girl is growing up before our eyes.  I sure love this little girlie!!

3 months

Our lil dude is already 3 months

 He is a fun boy.  The kids love to hold him and play with him.  Now if we can just get him to sleep longer, lol.
