A few of my favorites from our Photo Shoot by Lidia Shevtsov!

 This one cracks me up... the way her hand is on her belly makes it seem like she's saying "Does this dress make me look fat!!?" :)

My beautiful baby!

Apple Hill!!!!!

 The Big event that we did was Apple Picking! It was Brennan's 1st time and he was pretty enthralled by it. I'll see if I can upload the video I took of it :) 

 The first picked apple! He was so proud! 

 This is the way Makenzie spent most of her time there!

 The rest was with Miss Brooke! We were so glad she could come with us :) 

 Mattress trampoline :) Brennan couldn't jump on it because when the 5 monkeys jump on the bed, they fell off and bonk their heads. We've recently been over that we don't jump on beds, so he couldn't do it in good conscience :) We're getting somewhere!!!

 She was awake for about 10 minutes max the whole trip, but she was still SO cute :)

 Family photo at Larson's picnic area. Poor Makenzie wasn't included since she was asleep....

 ....in the sling with Brooke

 But she woke up for some Apple Pie! ... well.... she'll get hers later :)

Eating pie slices that were WAY TOO BIG for a single serving... we should have split pieces.. but Brennan ate his whole slice. I couldn't believe it!

Brennan's 2nd Birthday

Makenzie was included in the birthday celebrations at the Houghams Combined August Birthday Party. It was really sweet :) Katelyn, Ross, and Makenzie all share the same birthday week :)

Then Brennan's birthday came along the following week :) Due to his obsession with Curious George, it was pretty fitting to "invite him to the party" :) 

 

And I think due to the following picture that Brennan's enjoyed himself :)

It was special to have Grandpa and Grandma Gerth there. I love this precious shot of Grandma doting on Makenzie.

The pics got out of order when I was uploading them, but this is Brennan the morning or two after we came home from the hospital. He LOVES her to peices and can't wait to see her in the morning. I love it when he greets her with "Hi Sweetheart!"

 He really is doing well with the transition... the boppy pillow is especially a favorite because it's one of her things that he's actually allowed to touch... the pacifiers and the bouncy seat are off limits :)



My sleeping beauty



 Ok...back to the birthday boy.

Coming downstairs the morning of his real birthday to open a present

SUPER happy about his soccer ball and net that we got him. He's still learning how to play, but he loves anything sport :) A good thing since he got a soccer net, a set of golf clubs, and a basketball hoop for his birthday - with the t-ball set we already had, our back yard now looks like a sports arena :) 

Pretty oblivious to most of what's going on, but she looks cute doing it :)

The next day was Sunday and we dedicated Makenzie in church that morning.

 Now the family party begins :)

Thank you pinterest for the cool table setting idea. The plates and cups were all planned to look like the hat of the man with the yellow hat :)

Also thanks to pinterest for the cake idea... I like their cake's trees better... mine turned out floppy, but it's close enough :)

And that is Brennan's birthday and the happenings surrounding it :)
