Mckelle's 1 year old Pictures!!!

Here are a few of my favorites

This is Lola...a build a bear gift from aunt Jer.  She stays in Mckelle's crib and Mckelle just loves Lola.

Of course I had to get some pics of the two treasures in my life!!!

Just love these two!!!

Walking!!!

So that is the scoop.  Mckelle started walking about 2 weeks ago, just a couple of days after her birthday.  I guess this is how lax you become on the second one.  I always told myself I wouldn't become lax, but it just happens.  Can you believe it took her 7 months after she learned to crawl to finally walk.  Watch out...here comes trouble!!!

Eggett Family Reunion 2010

The whole group...well...most of them...

it wouldn't be complete without Pudge (the labrador).  He is definitely part of the family.

The two who started it all.

The five kids...Sean, Lesha, Ryan, Brett, and Casey.

The grandkids...

Swimming at Grandma and Grandpa's community pool.

Canoeing fun at Navajo Lake...it was SOOO beautiful and peaceful up there.

I have canoed in the past, but Brett taught me so much more than girls camp ever did.  I actually get it now and can't wait until we have a family canoe.

This is what Jace was doing while Mom and Dad were out in the canoe.  What else but STICKS!

Thanks for a great time Mom and Dad Eggett.  It was fun to see everybody, even if it is alot of noise and chaos.  Nothing is better than spending time with family.

Look who is 1...Mckelle Eggett

A year ago, on August 10th 2009, at 2:25pm, the sweetest and most challenging child came into our lives.  She was 8 lbs even and 20.5 inches long.  The delivery was very exhilarating since I decided to go naturally.  It was absolutely wonderful and such a memorable experience.  Some of my favorite things about this special day include:

• Jace meeting his new sister
• Having my mother in law there for the whole delivery
• My wonderful coach and sweet husband who did a great job at keeping me focused
• Having my Mom there to take care of Jace while we adjusted to the new changes
• Actually feeling the "ring of fire" and knowing when to push
• Feeling so great afterwards that the required 24 hours in the hospital seemed like eternities

She is now the big 1 and is almost walking.  She really is so sweet, but very feisty and knows what she wants.  She loves to eat oatmeal, bananas, blueberries, mushrooms, sweet potatoes, toast, mac n cheese, garlic bread, applesauce, and yogurt.  I am almost all done nursing her...YEAH!!! (most of you know what a struggle this has been).  She loves playing with her brother and mimics a lot of things he does.  She can fold her arms and say amen at the end of a prayer.  She can say a few words, but only when she wants to which ends up being few and far between.  She sleeps through the night and only takes one nap in the day.  She has 4 teeth...two on top and two on bottom.  She loves to be outside and play on all of Jace's toys...especially his motorcycle.

We had a little party for her and she loved the cake, but really didn't understand what was going on with the presents and all the people.  Thanks to all that came...we loved having you there.

Lots of cousins!!!

The caterpillar cake...so fun to make!!!

No hesitation to dig in...

Getting down and dirty...Notice that she ate her whole piece and scoop of ice cream.

The final product!  Yum Yum!!!  I love her eyes in this picture...she is such a sweetie!

Opening gifts and cards was interesting...she lost interest after the first gift.  She just wanted to keep playing with the toy that was given first.

Sorry about the blurriness of these pics...my camera is on the blitz thanks to the bottle of water that was poured on it...time for a new one :(

We can only hope that the next year is a little easier than her first year!  We are so glad that she is part of our cute little family!!!  We love you, Mckelle!!!

Jace...he keeps us laughing!!!

When we went for a ride up the canyon a few weeks ago, we got out to look at all the beauties around us.  Jace tried to defy gravity by running downhill...gravity won!  The worst cut was above his lip.  To keep with his cute sense of humor we decided to put a band aid on it to help it heal better and...

we painted a mustache on it.  He loved it and thought it was so silly.  He really has the cutest sense of humor.
