Kaiden and Makenzie


He is such a good, happy baby
He can sit up all by himself now



new tattoo!

Bill has a tattoo for each one of his kids and just Thursday he got his tattoo for Makenzie. It is her actual footprints from when she was first born, true to size. This picture actually shows them larger than what they are on his leg. This guy did such a great job, I can't wait to get mine. Makenzie has been through so much with being so small, it is really meaningful to carry with us daily the thoughts of everything she has been through. Her name under the foot prints in "tattoo script". It came out so nice.


NEW YORK CITY!!

Well, we had a great weekend this past weekend. We took the train into the city, it was Makenzie and Kaiden's first time and they loved it!

We saw Pluto and Goofy while we were there, but we only got pictures with Pluto, the kids were afraid of Goofy ;(

The water park!

Oh it was such a nice day out the other day and Makenzie, Kaiden and I went down to the park and they have a water area that she got to get a little wet in. She loved it.
She now likes going down the slides. She got used to them because there are a few outside of where we go to gymnastics.


GO YANKEES!!!

Now if only we actually went to a Yankees game, Billy and Kaiden would be ready to roll!

4th of July fireworks!

back tracking..

Well, I just was able to upload the rest of my pictures from my Kentucky trip from May of this year when we went to Heidi's high school graduation so I need to back track a bit to catch up. ha ha

Kaiden slept through the whole ceremony...he just wanted to make sure that he was up for the after party!

Tessa and Makenzie had so much fun playing with Heidi, they loved it when she held them both at the same time!
