McKinley at 4 months!

McKinley still hates the car....Luckily this was basically the last month of her hating the car because by the time she was 5 months old she was doing really well.

 There have been a couple nights where she has slept through the night!

 We haven't started solids yet but we will once we get home from visiting family.

She loves her toes!  She has even started putting them in her mouth!

 She tries lifting herself up into a sitting position.  She prefers sitting up when being held by others

She loves having all her siblings home from school because she gets TONS of attention!

She is so hard to get to laugh!  

She's constantly moving around in circles.  She got herself caught and wasn't a happy camper.

Beach baby!

Dyer turns 6!

Dyer woke up to raining balloons!  Nathan decorated his door!  

The birthday boy wanted donuts for his breakfast.

Nathan was on call so we celebrated in the morning before he had to go to work.

More sticks and balls to make bigger tents!

Of course he had to try out his new ninja costume!

Such a cute little ninja!

About to go birthday shopping with Valerie!

Dyer wanted angel food cake with strawberries for his birthday!

It was nice this year that everyone wanted a different type of cake!

McKinley's baby blessing

This was a special weekend for us.  Blair getting baptized on Saturday and McKinley getting blessed on Sunday (also my birthday!).

Valerie with the kids

Valerie was so kind to make McKinley's blessing dress.  It was beautiful!

Valerie also made her a blanket for her blessing.

Auntie Jana sent a white blanket for her blessing as well.

I didn't get very many pictures of McKinley on her blessing day so about a month later after we got back from vacation I decided to take some more of her in her blessing dress.

 Sleeping babies are just the sweetest!

I also got a couple of Blair and McKinley since they both shared a special weekend together.

One of Blair holding her blessing dress and wearing her baptism dress.

Hanging out with the Ward's

Roger and William were able to get away for a quick weekend trip to see Blair get baptized.  We spent most of the weekend at their time share pool.
