15 month photos....

I really can't believe how fast Makenna is growing... We got her 15 month photos taken a little over 2 weeks ago... so to sum it up, I'm very late on posting these. :) Sorry everyone! They are adorable so I hope you enjoy! Our baby girl is getting so big!

Detroit Lake!!!

Meet Detroit Lake. AHHHH.... This is actually the back end of the lake but whatever, still beautiful!

OH DETROIT LAKE! What else can I say besides the fact that this lake is amazing! AND.. the campsite/campground we had was amazing. Big thanks to my good friend, Eric who reserved the site. It was a fun filled weekend with great friends, good times and lots of beer. What more could you ask for??? OH, fishing!! We fished too! We forgot Makenna's fishing pole that she got from her Oldpa & Oldma at Christmas but I think she's still too little to cast. :) We went camping from Thursday, June 4th to Monday, June 8th. Talk about a good time!!! Enjoy the pictures!

Makenna watching Daddy start a fire... She was really paying attention!!

She got her own camping chair. This picture is deceiving because she really hated it! It tips over when she tries to get out of it... She'll figure it out soon enough. Someone discovered pinecones.... See???"Do they make noise?? Let me shake 'em a bit... ""Hmmm... they don't make noise. Here Aimee...."Taking a walk around the loop with Miss Boop (Belle)Poser.She really wanted to try on Jo's helmet. Good times. She kept trying to escape down a trail in between 2 of the sites.... Daddy gotcha Chunks!Howie had to leave Saturday to go to his friends bachelor party. Aimee and I went down to the lake with the kids and went fishing... Well, Aimee helped Makenna throw rocks in the lake while the rest of us fished. Thank you Aimee! Jo fishing... She's so sweet. :)
Belle standing guard.Meet Noah. He's my friend Wendy's son. He is such a sweetheart! He loves to talk but he's almost 4... it's to be expected. :)He's a little crazy too.....My favorite picture from the weekend... I told you.. MODELS!!Howie and Alex... Makenna eating crackers and enjoying the view.... Well, sort of. :)
I wonder... why do camping weekends go by 8 times faster than any typical weekend? We didn't want the trip to end. We had so much fun watching Makenna play, get dirty and explore. Does it get any better? I'm just not sure.

Makenna and her cousin Sophie.....

We were all invited to my Mom's for a wonderful lunch.. set up by my Mom so we could all welcome my sister's boyfriend Dan. My Mom made gyoza (fried potstickers), sushi, udon and much more than that but those are my favorites so.. yeah. ;) It was a house full but we all had a great time! I had to bust out the camera to take pictures of Makenna in action and some of her and her cousin Sophie. They're only 4 months apart and are sooooo cute together!

Me and Makenna right when we got there...

Makenna has this new obsession with playing with dirt. Makes me so happy to clean her up.

Miss Sophie cheesing

Playing in the hallway together......

Loves from Makenna.... Sophie didn't want to give Makenna a kiss. My sister-in-law tells me that Sophie is kind of selfish with her kisses. Hugs will do. :)

We all had such a good time and my sister's boyfriend Dan is perfect for her! YAY for Auntie Amy!

Better late than never...

I've recently had some computer problems so I haven't been able to get on here and post something new. I think the problem is fixed so here comes an overload of pictures. Not on this post but the ones to come. :)

We went to Kelly & Roy's for a BBQ a few weeks ago.... I took a few pictures. Enjoy!
