Oh the joys!

We got to spend my birthday weekend up at our cabin. The cabin is one of my favorite places to be, I learned so much up there growing up & have so many fond memories. I hope it's around for a long time so that my kids can make fun memories up there as well. We took a lot of "hikes" as Ethan called them, but they were more like walks. Me & Ethan had a little mommy/son time & took a long walk together. It's so nice to have that one on one time together. After that one on one time Lexi decided she wanted it too. So I took a walk with her too, this one wasn't so enjoyable as she wanted me to pull her in this tiny wagon. I was holding Makelle as well, so it was awkward & hurt my back. But we still had fun being up in the mountains & exploring.

Makelle absolutely adores stuffed animals! Once she gets a hold of one she has a hard time letting go. It's so cute to see her cuddle the animals & love them to pieces.

When Grumpy got up to the cabin he took us all to the shooting range. Lexi & Ethan were lucky enough to ride in the back with Spencer & Amber. They enjoyed being with the big "kids." They were so helpful and helped find all the clay pigeons that didn't get shot.

I am now officially 25. And for a wonderful birthday present Makelle decided to throw up all over her carseat on the way home from the cabin. What a wonderful present, right? After we cleaned it up as best we could with scented baby wipes & germX, we rode home with the windows down! She ended up just having a little too much oil in her tummy from the lasagna & was perfectly herself after throwing up.

Each of my children are such a blessing in my life! They bring so much to the family, so much happiness & joy. I can't wait to see what the next one will bring. They're all so different & I can't imagine what this one is going to look like, or be like. We got to see the heart beat today & everything is looking good. I'm excited to welcome another baby into our family!
