Football girl?

Steve took Makenna to the football game on Saturday. He's hoping to train her to love the game and is sure that her first word will be football or some other related term. From the looks of it I think I'm still safe in that she thought the game was pretty boring but that everything else was much more exciting!

Peaches and the Fire Department

Last weekend Chris and I canned peaches! This year was so much better than last. The peaches were cheaper, we had less mess, we got more quarts and they just look so much better. We were very proud. However, this lovely canning event has a story to go with it. It was about 11 at night, we just put the last batch of peaches in the canner and were cleaning up when my carbon monoxide detector goes off! I didn't know what to do, it's never gone off before so after a couple of minutes discussing with Steve about what we should do ( the detector says to call 911 but we still had to discuss what to do) I call 911. We're told to go outside and wait for the fire department. So I wake up my babe and we wait. Sure enough their was CO throughout the whole house. The fire department was here for about 1/2 hour until the levels went back down. They think it was because we had all 4 burners on the gas stove going for 5 hours on high with no windows open because I had the AC on which help to circulate the CO throughout the house. I finally got Makenna back to sleep around 1 but didn't really sleep that well because I was still worried and we had to have all the windows open so it was noisy. Anyways the moral of this story is 1- Make sure you have carbon monoxide detectors and 2- Keep the windows open while canning!

The Little Rascal

A couple of weekends ago we decided to head to the lake before summer was over. Our main intention was to just get lunch and then we'd touch the water but not spend much time in the water due to Makenna throwing fits every time this summer when it came to water. Well the little rascal loved the water this time! We spent three hours playing, I couldn't believe it. Hopefully she'll remember she had fun when we go again next summer.

Makenna has also sported this new look to everyone...

I know I'm crazy but does she have to give me the look now?
