Laundry Basket Adventures!

Who knew that a laundry basket could be so much fun? It is officially McKay's favorite toy. It has holes for your fingers, you can pull yourself up on it, you can hide underneath it, you can eat the sides, and best of all if you butter up Daddy really good he will give you rides in it!

I was folding the laundry and McKay was poking his fingers through the holes when he decided that he would try to pull himself up to it, but the idea backfired and it flipped over on him. I thought he would get scared and cry, but no he just grinned and loved watching me through the holes. Later that night, we were again folding laundry (it is a never ending thing) and I went in the other room for a minute. I came back and Matt had put McKay in the basket with his monkey Stripes and a pillow and was pulling him around the room. At first he was pretty hesitant and held on tight. But after a while he decided it was fun and he was loving his new toy. He loved it so much it took us half the night to calm him down and convince him it was time for bed! But after all the excitement, he slept wonderful last night!








McKay loves to put in his pacifier himself, but he usually puts it in upside down- it is the cutest thing!

Happy Halloween!

Hope you all had a fun Halloween.

Busy October

We have been off vacationing every weekend so far this month- it has been crazy fun! We went to St. George with my parents and saw AIDA at Tuachan (which was so good!). Then we went to the Rowley Reunion up Spanish Fork Canyon. And this past weekend I went to Park City with Margaret, my sister-in-law Amanda, and Margaret's sisters. We shopped and talked and had a fun relaxing time. It was the first time I left McKay over night and it was wonderful for both of us. Matt and McKay had a grand time playing catch and watching sports.

McKay is officially 6 months old today. Amazing how time flies huh? He is all smiles and just wants to play and do whatever everyone else is doing. We love him and although it has only been 6 months since he was born, I wonder what I ever did without him.

Here are a few pictures of our adventures the past few weeks.


Here we are at the Rowley Reunion


McKay loved being on his Dad's shoulders- it was a whole new world from up high. [Notice the BYU blue outfits for Gameday Saturday...]


My little boy finally fits in overalls! I love little boys in overalls, but McKay hasn't fit into his until this week (well they are still a little big, but it is close enough for me!) He looked very handsome if I say so myself.


Kenzie, this picture is for you of all the fish we saw in the pond at the Rowley Retreat. I thought you and Brooklyn would like the fishies. They were jumping all over and putting on a show for us.

Happy Sitter

McKay is now sitting up all by himself (until he tries to reach for something, and then he tips over....). He is so proud of his new accomplishment!
